trade, cannot agree to either of them as at present proposed, but most strongly recom¬ 
mend, for the sake of union, in order that a practical measure may be passed by the 
Legislature, that the Council and Executive Committee of the two Societies (casting all 
jealousy and illwill aside) will mutually agree upon a Bill that will satisfy pharmaceu¬ 
tists and chemists and druggists. 
In order to assist so desirable an object, this meeting would submit that the proposed 
Pharmacy Bill of 1865 might be so altered by substituting the amended clauses here¬ 
after named, by introducing clauses protecting the interests of widows and their fami¬ 
lies on the death of the registered chemists, and an exempting clause from serving on 
juries; also the striking out, as superfluous and humiliating, the obnoxious sche¬ 
dule “ C.” 
Clauses 1, 5, 6, 8, and Schedule “D.”—Apprentices previous to the passing of the 
Act to be registered and placed upon the same footing as assistants, the clauses named 
and scheduled to be altered accordingly. 
Clause 4.—Any person who before the passing of this Act has been, or who on the 
1st day of January, 1866, shall be actually carrying on business in Great Britain as a 
chemist and druggist, in the keeping of open shop for the compounding of the prescrip¬ 
tions of duly qualified medical practitioners, shall be entitled to be registered on pro¬ 
ducing to the Registrar a declaration according to the form in Schedule “B” to this 
Act, signed by him ; or upon transmitting to such Registrar information of his name 
and address, and enclosing such declaration as aforesaid. 
Clause 6.—All persons who are or shall be duly registered as assistants, associates, or 
apprentices under or according to the provisions of the Pharmacy Act, shall, on com¬ 
mencing business as chemists and druggists, be registered as chemists and druggists on 
payment of a fee not exceeding half-a -guinea, to be fixed by the Council of the Phar¬ 
maceutical Society. 
Clause 16.—Every person duly registered as a chemist and druggist, having been in 
business as aforesaid, shall be eligible to become a member of the Pharmaceutical Society 
of Great Britain ; and every assistant and apprentice, also duly registered previous to the 
1st day of January, 1866, may also become an associate of the said Society upon ap¬ 
plication to the Council thereof, such persons paying the same annual subscriptions as 
are at present paid by existing members and associates respectively ; and all such per¬ 
sons so admitted shall have the same rights and privileges as belong to present mem¬ 
bers and associates. 
Clause .—That all chemists and druggists registered under this Act shall be exempt 
from jury service. 
Clause .—That on the death of a registered chemist and druggist, his widow or 
trustee may carry on the said business, under the management of a duly qualified as¬ 
sistant, registered under this Act. 
Schedule “C” to be struck out. 
Signed on behalf of the York Pharmaceutical Chemists, and Chemists and Druggists.

TINCT. TERRI PERCHLORIDI. 
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL. 
Sir,—In the last number of the Journal I see a suggestion of Mr. Holloway’s 
for a formula for the Tinct. Ferri Perchloridi, and though speaking well of the 
result, he states that he has not yet had time to test its keeping qualities. As I 
make my tincture by a slight modification of the same plan, I beg to say that 
it yields a perfectly bright and stable tincture of uniform strength ; and though 
the process is somewhat troublesome, the result leaves nothing to be desired.
