To  be  able  to  give  a  thorough  chemical  analysis  of  urine  when 
required  is  a  very  effective  way  to  impress  your  professional  ability 
on  the  physicians  in  your  neighborhood.  The  cost  of  apparatus  and 
reagents  is  but  slight  and  the  tests  are  easily  understood  and  applied. 
A  particular  application  in  reference  to  patients  who  come  for  the 
purpose  of  buying  some  proprietary  kidney  cure  is  made,  showing 
how  the  good  will  of  the  physician  may  be  acquired  under  circum- 
stances which  make  it  very  difficult.  A  specimen  report,  such  as  is 
given  where  an  examination  is  made,  is  included,  and  the  author 
advises  that  this  work  be  done  without  cost  to  the  physician,  with 
the  view  of  being  more  than  repaid  in  the  confidence  and  good  will 
which  is  engendered. 
Query  21. 
W.  G.  Greenawalt. 
The  author  does  not  believe  that  the  pharmacist  should  be  as 
accommodating  as  the  public  expect  him  to  be  at  the  present  time, 
and  draws  comparisons  between  different  professions  and  businesses 
in  illustration  of  his  point.  He  would  have  the  Government  pro- 
vide slot  machines  where  post  cards  and  stamps  could  be  dispensed, 
and  have  some  means  devised  by  which  city  directories  could  be 
kept  on  every  street  corner  by  the  municipal  authorities.  Then 
the  pharmacist  could  devote  himself  more  to  scientific  work,  as  he 
should. 
Query  39. 
W.  G.  Greenawalt. 
The  discussion  of  various  side  lines  in  pharmacy  constitutes  the 
introduction  of  the  paper,  and  the  increasing  popularity  of  post 
cards  is  looked  upon  with  favor  as  a  legitimate  means  of  increasing 
the  druggist's  profits.  He  speaks  of  the  different  styles  and  varie- 
ties of  post  cards,  advising  against  the  pharmacist  handling  any  but 
first-class  cards,  free  from  the  vulgarity  which  is  sometimes  exhibited 
in  cards  sold  in  other  kinds  of  stores. 
Query  39. 
Jacob  Eppstein. 
The  author  speaks  of  the  cosmopolitan  interest  which  is  developed 
by  handling  cards  representing  scenes  in  various  parts  of  the  world,
