equipped  apartment  house,  fitted  with  all  modern  conveniences,  bathrooms, 
steam  heaters,  parlor,  reception-room,  toilet-rooms,  dining-rooms,  and  accom- 
modations for  sixty  students. 
The  house  is  situated  at  112  North  Eighteenth  Street,  and  is  everything  that 
can  be  desired,  with  an  open  outlook  in  the  rear.  Plenty  of  ventilation  is  pro- 
vided. A  nominal  board  is  charged  each  student,  which  is  less  than  poor 
accommodations  elsewhere  would  cost. 
Present  and  prospective  students  should  communicate  at  once  with  E.  Fuller- 
ton  Cook,  P.D.,  145  N.  Tenth  Street,  Philadelphia.  The  house  is  under  the 
control  of  a  Board  of  Governors,  which  is  composed  as  follows:  Mahlon  N. 
Kline,  Chairman;  Prof.  Joseph  P.  Remington,  Howard  B.  French,  W.  A.  Rum- 
sey,  Prof.  S.  P.  Sadtler,  Henry  C.  Blair,  Jacob  Baer,  James  T.  Shinn  and  E. 
Fullerton  Cook. 
Howard  B.  French,  President  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy, 
gave  an  informal  dinner  to  the  Faculty  and  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
at  his  summer  residence,  "  Alderbrook,"  near  Valley  Forge,  on  Wednesday, 
June  22d.  The  ride  from  the  station  to  Mr.  French's  home  is  through  a  beau- 
tiful section  of  country,  which  is  especially  attractive  at  this  season,  with  the 
roses  in  full  bloom  and  ripe  cherries  loading  the  trees.  Mr.  French's  grounds 
are  extensive,  including  a  large  lawn  and  a  wooded  area,  both  of  which  are  in 
excellent  condition.  The  occasion  furnished  ar  opportunity  for  the  members 
to  meet  together  socially,  and  was  highly  enjoyed  by  all. 
Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association. — The  annual  meeting  was 
held  at  Cambridge  Springs,  Crawford  County,  June  21st,  22d  and  23d,  the  Hotel 
Rider  being  the  headquarters  of  the  Association.  A  full  account  of  the  meeting 
will  be  published  in  our  next  issue. 
Milk  in  Typhoid  Fever  is  the  title  of  an  illustrated  pamphlet  recently 
published  by  the  Smith,  Kline  &  French  Company.  The  color  illustrations, 
showing  the  actual  condition  of  the  intestinal  surfaces  during  the  different 
stages  of  typhoid  fever,  are  well  reproduced,  and  are  from  Kast  and  Rumpel's 
classical  work.  The  paper  is  devoted  to  a  discussion  of  the  use  of  cereal  decoc- 
tions in  modifying  the  defects  of  a  milk  diet  alone  in  typhoid  fever. 
Commercial  Catalogues. — In  a  plea  for  a  bibliography  of  the  documents 
pertaining  to  American  pharmaceutical  history  Edward  Kremers  {Bulletin  of 
J-harmacy,  June,  1904)  says:  "In  such  a  bibliography  catalogues  of  manufac- 
turers and  jobbers  will  and  should  occupy  a  conspicuous  place.  Each  existing 
manufacturing  and  jobbing  firm  should  regard  it  a  matter  of  pride  to  collect  a 
complete  set  of  its  own  catalogues,  price-lists,  and  even  leaflets,  if  possible,  and 
present  them  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  The  sooner  this  is 
done  the  better." 
America's  First  Cutter.— M.  I.  Wilbert  {Ibid.)  gives  a  sketch  of  T.  W. 
Dyott,  who,  during  the  early  part  of  the  nineteenth  century,  conducted  what 
was  probably  the  first  cut-rate  drug  store  in  this  country,  his  establishment 
being  at  Second  and  Race  Streets,  in  Philadelphia. 
Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy.— Prof.  Wilbur  t,.  Scoville  has 
resigned  the  professorship  of  pharmacy  in  this  institution,  and  has  accepted  a 
position  with  a  large  Boston  drug  firm.  Prof.  E.  H.  La  Pierre  has  been  chosen 
his  successor.
