From  the  Treasurer's  report  it  appears  that  unusual  efforts  have  been 
and  are  being  made  to  promote  the  interests  of  the  College,  and  inci- 
dentally we  learn  that  there  is  a  prospect  of  Dr.  E.  R.  Squibb,  giving  a 
course  on  Practical  Pharmacy  next  winter.  Should  this  be  carried  out, 
we  feel  no  doubt  but  that  his  effort  will  prove  highly  useful  to  the  N.  Y. 
School  of  Pharmacy.

The  Probe;  an  inquiry  into  the  use  of  stimulants  and  narcotics,  the 
social  evils  resulting  therefrom,  and  methods  of  reform  and  cure.  By 
Joseph  Parrish,  M.D.    Issued  quarterly  from  the  Sanitarium,  Media, 
Pennsylvania,  price  one  dollar  per  year  ;  pp.  32,  octavo. 
This  new  journal,  commenced  in  a  good  cause,  deserves  success.  We 
believe  there  is  a  perennial  supply  of  material  for  its  pages,  and  trust  that 
the  editor  may  be  liberally  encouraged  to  proceed. 
Catalogue  of  the  officers  and  students  of  the  University  of  Michigan  for 
1868-9,  with  a  general  description  of  the  University.  Ann  Arbor ; 
published  by  the  University,  1869  ;  pp.  79, 
The  extensive  operations  of  this  Institution  are  well  shown  by  a  glance 
over  its  catalogue  of  students  in  the  several  departments  of  science 
literature  and  the  arts,  of  law,  of  medicine,  of  engineering  and  of  phar- 
macy. The  latter  branch  of  this  school  we  have  before  alluded  to.  and 
consists  of  lectures  on  chemical  physics,  inorganic  and  organic  chemistry, 
toxicology  and  materia  medica,  recitations  and  lectures  on  practical 
pharmacy,  with  systematic  instruction  in  analysis  and  practical  pharmacy. 
The  latter  department  is  under  the  direction  of  Prof.  S.  H.  Douglass. 
During  the  prosecution  of  this  course  students  are  admitted  to  the  class- 
es in  botany  and  Latin,  French  and  German,  if  properly  prepared  to 
enter.  The  time  required  for  the  pharmaceutical  course  is  from  one  and 
a  half  to  two  years,  and  at  its  terminus  those  who  pass  satisfactory  ex- 
aminations and  submit  an  acceptable  thesis,  will  receive  the  diploma  of 
pharmaceutical  chemist."
