EDITORIAL. 
New  York  Journal  of  Pharmacy. — We  were  not  aware,  until  after  our 
last  number  had  been  printed,  that  the  New  York  Journal  of  Pharmacy  had 
been  continued  under  new  auspices,  as  an  independent  Journal.  The 
editorship  is  in  charge  of  Dr.  Thomas  Anticell,  whose  chemical  predilections 
will  prove  useful  to  his  readers.  The  names  of  Dr.  Torrey,  Dr.  Enderlin 
and  Mr.  Canavan  are  attached  as  collaborators.  The  size  has  also  been 
increased  to  48  pages,  and  altogether  the  work  presents  an  improved  aspect. 
If  the  pharmaceutists  of  New  York  city  will  make  it  the  vehicle  for  com- 
municating observations  and  discoveries,  they  would  be  doing  service  to  the 
profession,  and  advance  the  character  of  the  Journal. 
Correction. — In  the  formula  of  Mr.  Wiegand,  for  Compound  Syrup  of 
Phosphate  of  Iron,  in  our  last  number,  the  phosphate  of  potassa  was  acci- 
dentally omitted  in  copying  for  the  press.  Our  readers  will  please  to  turn 
to  page  112,  and  add  with  a  pen  "  Phosphate  of  Potassa,  two  drachms," 
after  line  3d  from  the  top. 
Analysis  of  Church  Hill  Alum  Water — The  analysis  of  this  mineral 
water  as  presented  at  page  269,  was  handed  to  us  for  publication  by  Dr. 
Joseph  Klapp,  of  Philada,  who  copied  it  from  the  original  draft,  signed  by 
Prof.  Booth  in  his  public  capacity  of  analytical  chemist. 
As  the  publication  of  the  formula  in  this  Journal  has  no  object  but  as  a 
record  of  scientific  investigation,  Prof.  Booth  desires,  in  justice  to  Mr.  T. 
H.  Garrett,  his  laboratory  assistant,  that  the  analysis  should  be  attributed 
to  Mr.  Garrett  equally  with  himyelf. 
The  Georgia  Blister  and  Critic,  is  the  title  of  a  Southern  Medical  Jour- 
nal dating  from  Atalanta,  March  1st,  1854,  "  devoted  to  the  development 
of  Southern  Medical  Jiterature,  and  the  exposition  of  the  diseases  and  phy- 
sical peculiarities  of  the  Negro  race."  The  tone  of  the  Blister  is  independ- 
ent, and  the  style  racy,  perhaps  a  little  too  spicy.  The  Editor  Dr.  H.  A. 
Kamsey  is  an  ultra  Southern  man,  and  speaks  out  what  he  thinks,  perhaps 
a  little  too  freely  for  the  conventional  proprieties  of  medical  Journalism. 
Editorial  Changes. — Doctors  F.  G.  Smith  and  J.  B.  Biddle  have  retired 
from  the  editorial  charge  of  the  Medical  Examiner,  (of  Philadelphia, )  which 
Journal  is  now  .edited  by  Dr.  Samuel  L.  Hollingsworth. 
Dr.  Joseph  Parrish,  editor  of  the  New  Jersey  Medical  Reporter,  having 
removed  to  Philadelphia,  has  resigned  the  editorship  of  that  Journal,  but 
continues  as  associate  editor,  Dr.  Butler,  late  associate  editor,  now  assuming 
the  editorial  supervision. 
The  Richmond  Stethoscope  has  been  bought  by,  and  is  now  the  organ  of 
the  Virginia  Medical  Society,  Dr.  Gooch  retiring  from  the  editorial  chair, 
and  Dr.  T.  P.  Atkinson  assuming  the  editorship,  assisted  by  a  Committee.
