creased to ten. 
3. That the Publishing Committee be authorised to appoint 
correspondents in different parts of the United States, whose 
names shall be published in conjunction with those of the 
Publishing Committee, on the cover of each number. 
The report of the committee and the accompanying reso- 
lutions were adopted. 
The committee on Patent Medicines made a report, highly- 
disapproving of the printed directions which now accompany 
those patent medicines which have been recognized by the 
College, and for which scientific formulae have been pub- 
lished, and recommending the adoption of more proper and 
suitable directions. 
On which it was resolved, that the subject be referred to a 
committee who are requested to report such directions to ac- 
company the patent medicines recognized by the College, as 
shall in their judgment be more proper and suitable than those 
now in use. 
E. Durand presented a series of translations by A. Duha- 
mel, from the Journal de Chimie Medic ale, which were re- 
ferred to the Publishing Committee.
