THE. AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. 
In the report of the presentation of the gold medal to Mr. W. P. Farmer 
we omitted to mention that Mr. Farmer was apprenticed to Mr. Warbreck, of 
Murtoa. 
Messes. C. P. Harker, Stagg and Moss, of London, have forwarded,, 
through Messrs. Pocke, Tompsitt, and Co., some very fine specimens for the 
Museum. 
Me. Isaac, well known in connection with Messrs. Felton, Grimwade and 
Co., of Melbourne, has contracted the prevailing epidemic to visit the old 
country, and sailed in the Chimborazo on the 14th inst. 
Messes. Harrison and Webb, of 53 Chapel-street, Prahran, have just com- 
pleted some very extensive attractions to their business premises. The shop 
is now one of the largest and best appointed in the southern suburb. 
Me. P. J. Fullwood (late of Earkly-street, Carlton), the sale of whose 
business to Mr. T. B. Jones we noticed in our last issue, has purchased the 
Collins- street pharmacy of the late Mr. C. Ogg, for some time past carried on by 
Mr. W. W. Caught. 
Me. W. J. Maine, a member of the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society 
of Hew South Wales, has been on a visit to South Australia and Victoria. 
Mr. Maine speaks hopefully of the prospects of speedy legislation on pharmacy 
in the sister colony, and we trust his expectations may be realised. 
Messes. Martin and Pleasance, of Collins-street, Melbourne, homoeopathic 
chemists, desire to intimate that they have, during the month, posted their 
revised wholesale price list to the address of every chemist in the colony, and 
where it has not been delivered they will be glad to send another, on appli- 
cation. 
Me. John Edson, of Queen-street, Auckland, Hew Zealand, after having- 
been for 27 years in business in that city, left, on a visit to the old ceuntry, by 
the Aorangi on the 8th inst., via Pio Janeiro. Mr. Edson has recently erected 
a new shop in Queen-street, which is now complete, and certainly makes one 
of the prettiest in the city. The front of the building is of white Oamaru 
stone, and most tastefully decorated. 
Consideeable damage was caused on the afternoon of the 20th ult. through 
two horses bolting in Bourke-street. They ran on to the footpath, and the 
vehicle coming in contact with the window of Mr. Wm. Powley, chemist, a dentist’s 
show-case, which had been hanging outside, was completely demolished, and the 
plate-glass forming the window was knocked out and broken to pieces. The 
damage to Mr. Powley’s premises and stock will amount to about £190.
