These  like  most  of  the  Medical  Journals  are  generally  so  occupied  by  sub- 
jects strictly  medical,  and  present  so  few  papers  suitable  for  transfer  to  a 
Phaimaceutical  Journal,  that  the  advantage  of  an  exchange  is  very  slight. 
Those  Journals  therefore  who  do  not  receive  our  Journal  in  exchange,  will 
please  to  understand  that  our  list  of  Medical  exchanges  is  already  greater 
than  is  profitable,  and  that  in  declining  to  reciprocate  it  is  from  no  ill  feel- 
ing or  lack  of  good  wishes  for  the  success  of  our  medical  sisters. 
The  Report  of  the  Twenty- third  Exhibition  of  American  Manufactures, 
held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Franklin  Institute  of  Pennsylvania,  has  been 
received.  It  occupies  fifty-eight  pages,  including  the  interesting  address 
of  George  Harding,  Esq.,  at  the  close  of  the  Exhibition.  The  useful  In- 
stitution from  which  this  Report  emanates  deserves  the  support  of  every 
well-wisher  of  American  arts  and  manufactures. 
Tully's  Materia  Medica. — The  ninth  number  of  this  original  work  has 
been  received.  It  relates  chiefly  to  the  class  of  remedies  called  "  Anti- 
phlogistica,"  by  the  author,  and  commences  the  class  "  Nausiatica.,;  The 
"Progui"  to  the  class  "  Atitiphlogisfcica,"  on  the  nomenclature  of  organic 
compounds,  is  so  peculiar,  that  we  propose,  in  our  next  number,  to  make 
some  extracts  from  it,  which  we  are  prevented  from  doing  now  by  want  of 
space.  We  hope  Dr.  Tully  will  complete  his  work,  and  give  the  profession 
the  results  of  his  numerous  observations,  more  particularly  those  on  the 
vegetable  Materia  Medica  of  the  United  States  ;  yet  we  regret  that  he  finds 
it  necessary  to  obscure  his  ideas,  by  clothing  them  in  such  complex,  not  to 
say  uncouth  nomenclature,  that  his  readers  find  it  difficult  to  get  at  his 
meaning  without  a  constant  stretch  of  the  memory.
