280 REMARKS ON THE COMPOSITION OF DR. BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE, 
College, a most excellent and extended course of pharmaceutical education had been 
thus established; but it was an experiment, and its continuance would depend upon the 
support it received. 
Mr. J. T. Slugg, F.R.A.S., seconded the adoption of the Report, which was carried. 
Mr. Bagshaw, Oldham, and Mr. Wheeldon, Manchester, having retired from the 
Council, Mr. Barnaby, Oxford Road, Manchester, and Mr. Hargreaves, Oldham, were 
elected in their stead. 
The various officers having been re-elected, Mr. Slugg moved, that the subscription 
of Associates be reduced to 2s. 6c/. The Association had now a good balance in hand, 
and he was anxious that young men should have no excuse for not maintaining their 
connection with it. 
The motion was seconded by Mr. Hampson, and carried. 
The Chairman then announced that monthly meetings would be held in the Memorial 
Hall, on the first Friday of each month, alternately at three p.m. and seven p.m. Mr. 
Alexander Somers, Lecturer on Materia Medica at Owens College and at the Royal 
School of Medicine, had kindly consented to give an address on the first meeting, Friday 
evening, November 5th, at seven, p.m. 
A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then passed. 
SUNDERLAND CHEMISTS’ ASSOCIATION. 
On Tuesday, October 19th, the first meeting of the winter session of the above Society 
was held in the Athenseum; William Thompson, Esq., President, in the chair. It was 
numerously attended by members, their assistants, and apprentices. 
A most interesting and instructive address was delivered by H. B. Brady, Esq., of 
Newcastle-on-Tyne, urging on the young men the necessity of earnestness and per¬ 
severance in their studies, to fit them for the higher position they would be called upon 
to occupy in the future; and impressing on the members their duty of aiding and en¬ 
couraging the efforts of the students, for whose improvement and welfare they are, to a 
certain extent, responsible. 
After cordial votes of thanks had been passed to the Lecturer and the President, notice 
was given of the lectures and readings by the different members during the ensuing 
winter, and the meeting separated with mutual congratulations on the full attendance, 
and the promising signs of prosperity shown in the attention and earnestness of all con¬ 
cerned.

SOME REMARKS UPON THE COMPOSITION OP DR. COLLIS 
BROWNE’S CIILORODYNE, AS JUDGED BY ITS PHYSIOLO¬ 
GICAL ACTION. 
BY THOMAS STRETCH DOWSE, M.D., 
LATE REGISTRAR AND PHYSICIAN TO THE SKIN DEPARTMENT OF CHARING CROSS 
HOSPITAL. 
Iii the ‘ Pharmaceutical Journal ’ for September, I found a very interesting, 
highly logical, and sensible letter from a gentleman styling himself u Provincial” 
upon Chlorodyne versus Liq. Chloroformi Co. 
This letter appears to have been written partly in answer or relating to some 
previous correspondence upon the subject, of which I am totally ignorant. But 
it has been so adroitly handled by your correspondent, and throws out such sug¬ 
gestions relating to the intrinsic composition and therapeutic action of this com¬ 
pound, that I feel bound to lay before him and the readers of your Journal my 
views upon the nature of this remedial agent, backed up by a case of poisoning
