great  and  growing  university  the  Cleveland  School  of  Pharmacy 
will  undoubtedly  strive  to  emulate  the  example  that  has  been  set 
for  it  by  the  medical  school  of  the  same  University,  and  we  may 
reasonably  expect  that  in  the  very  near  future  the  Cleveland  school 
will  be  second  to  none  in  its  requirements  and  in  the  character  of 
its  curriculum. 
Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry. — The  Journal  of  the  Ameri- 
can Medical  Association  (  September  *26,  1908,  p.  1078)  records  an 
account  of  the  meeting  of  the  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry 
which  was  held  at  the  Association  Building,  Chicago,  July  17  and 
18,  1908.  From  this  account  it  appears  that  as  its  chief  business 
the  Council  discussed  the  revision  of  the  rules  and  the  rearrange- 
ment of  the  matter  contained  in  "  New  and  Non-official  Remedies." 
It  was  decided  that  in  future  this  book  shall  contain  descriptions  of 
the  proprietary  articles  accepted  by  the  Council  and  of  such  simple 
non-proprietary  and  unofficial  substances  as  are  of  sufficient  impor- 
tance. It  was  decided  that  proprietary  mixtures  shall  not  be  included 
in  the  main  body  of  the  book  unless  they  show  some  originality  and 
present  a  marked  advance  over  similar  products,  but  when  they 
conform  to  the  rules  they  shall  be  included  in  the  form  of  an  appen- 
dix to  the  book.  Articles  which  are  official  in  the  "  United  States 
Pharmacopoeia "  or  in  the  "  National  Formulary,"  and  non-pro- 
prietary mixtures  of  official  articles  are  not  eligible  for  inclusion  in 
the  book.  The  rules  (see  A.  J.  P.,  1905)  were  modified  in  some 
minor  particulars,  the  following  modifications  being  of  first 
importance : 
Rule  5  was  so  amended  as  to  require  that  the  actual  identity  of 
the  manufacturer  of  a  product  be  furnished. 
The  Council  voted  to  interpret  Rule  8  so  that  after  January  1, 
1909,  pharmaceutical  preparations  and  mixtures  will  be  admitted 
only  under  a  pharmaceutical  title  which  shall  indicate  the  most 
potent  ingredients.  Arbitrary  coined  names  will  not  be  recognized 
for  pharmaceutical  mixtures. 
It  was  also  decided  that  no  pharmaceutical  mixture  shall  be 
accepted  whose  name  indicates  its  therapeutic  action  or  is  suggestive 
of  the  names  of  diseases  or  pathologic  conditions  in  which  it  is  to 
be  used.  After  January  1,  1909,  this  rule  is  to  be  extended  to  simple 
articles. 
The  Council  voted  to  condense  Rules  9  and  10  to  become  Rule  9 
and  adopted  a  new  rule,  as  Rule  10,  under  which  recognition  will  be
