Henry  F.  Fish,  of  Waterbury,  Conn.,  exhibits  a  fine  specimen  of 
"  Pulverulent  Camphor,"  prepared  by  the  process  peculiar  to  himself  (see 
volunteer  paper  in  sequel) ;  also  a  specimen  of  "  Sassy  Bark,"  from  the 
coast  of  Africa ;  also  specimens  of  embossed  pill-box  covers, — the  embossing 
being  done  by  a  hand-press. 
PHARMACEUTICAL  PREPARATIONS. 
Edward  Parrish,  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  exhibits  some  forty  specimens  of 
various  pharmaceutical  preparations, — not  in  general  use,  but  evidently 
prepared  with  careful  attention ;  among  them  Pierlot's  Elixir  of  Valerianate 
of  Ammonia,  Glycerole  of  Hypophosphites,  Bitter  Wine  of  Iron ;  and  also 
Aloin,  and  Bi-Muriate  of  Morphia,  imported  by  him  from  P,  Squire,  of 
London,  England. 
A  case  of  quite  a  number  of  pharmaceutical  preparations,  exhibited  by 
John  Faber,  Pharmaceutist,  of  New  York,  attracts  our  attention.  Many 
preparations  not  often  made  by  the  retailer,  apparently  of  very  reliable 
quality,  show  a  commendable  interest  in  "this  branch  of  our  profession. 
The  specimens  of  fluid  extracts,  made  by  formulae  of  Prof.  Procter, 
and  the  powdered  vegetable  extracts,  as  recommended  by  the  Prussian 
Pharmacopoeia,  attracted  our  special  attention. 
We  cannot  too  earnestly  urge  upon  the  retail  Pharmaceutists  through- 
out the  country  the  real  practical  and  valuable  addition  to  our  stock  of 
knowledge  which  follows  the  adoption  of  this  plan  of  personal  manufac- 
turing of  pharmaceutical  preparations. 
Charles  Shivers,  of  Philadelphia,  has  on  exhibition  some  specimens  of 
spread  plasters  in  cases  ;  among  them  we  notice  the  Isinglass  Plaster  as 
being  a  very  fine  article.  He  also  has  specimens  of  Water-Proof  Arnica 
and  Court  Plasters. 
A  case  of  neatly  spread  Strengthening,  Warming  and  other  Plasters  is

Messrs.  Gale  Brothers,  of  Chicago,  exhibit  a  fine  article  of  Native 
Wine,  made  from  the  wild  grape,  the  flavor  of  which  is  very  evident.
