made  that,  freshly  made,  it  dissolves  at  150  C.  in  23  parts  of  water  and  4.76  parts 
of  alcohol  (U.  S.  P.)  This  is  an  obvious  typographical  error ;  23  parts  of  the 
first  named,  and  ^7*  6  parts  of  the  second  named  are  meant. 
The  appendix  contains  a  number  of  new  and  valuable  tables,  and  an  alpha- 
betical list  of  official  drugs  of  the  United  States  and  British  Pharmacopoeias, 
showing  contained  preparations.  A  list  is  also  given  of  over  four  hundred 
formulas  and  molecular  weights  of  chemical  compounds.  The  indices  show 
25,000  references,  and  the  typographical  make-up  of  the  book  is  well  worthy 
of  the  high  reputation  of  the  house  issuing  it.  J.  W.  England. 
Proceedings  of  the  Twelfth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Virginia  Pharmaceutical 
Association. 
A  copy  of  the  above  has  just  reached  us.  It  details  the  minutes  of  the 
meeting  held  at  Blue  Ridge  Springs,  September  13  and  14,  1893.  The  note- 
worthy paper  in  this  volume  is  entitled  i(  A  Few  Facts  and  Points  about 
Quinine,  Gathered  Here  and  There,  and  Strung  Together  by  Robert  Brydon." 
The  author  of  this  unique  contribution  has  succeeded  in  collecting  facts  and 
statistics  about  one  of  the  greatest  of  the  alkaloids,  that  will  well  repay  one 
for  reading.  He  has  drawn  his  information  from  a  great  many  sources,  notably 
from  some  of  our  large  manufacturing  houses,  whereby  the  value  of  his  com- 
munication is  especially  increased. 
The  Modern  Climatic  Treatment  of  Invalids  with  Pulmonary  Consumption 
in  Southern  California.  By  P.  C.  Remondino,  M.D.  Pp.  126.  Detroit : 
George  S.  Davis.  1893. 
A  very  readable  book,  which  is  of  interest  to  the  ordinary  tourist  as  well  as 
to  the  invalid,  since  it  gives  some  very  sensible  advice  about  travelling  in 
general,  which  every  one  should  know,  especially  that  which  refers  to  dress 
and  diet. 
The  Georgia  Board  of  Pharmacy  met  in  the  Senate  Chamber  of  the  Capitol, 
Atlanta,  February  26.  Messrs.  Goodwyn,  Sharp,  Payne  and  Slack  were  present 
and  conducted  the  examination  of  ten  applicants,  six  of  whom  passed  and 
four  failed.  The  successful  candidates  were  :  Messrs.  W.  M.  Caldwell,  Chipley  ; 
O.  B.  Hartzog,  Atlanta  ;  R.  C.  Hood,  Harmony  Grove  ;  H.  T.  Mash,  Savannah  ; 
R.  K.  Nipper,  Bainbridge,  and  h.  C.  Newman,  of  Atlanta.  Mr.  O.  B.  Hartzog 
made  the  highest  mark  and  was  awarded  the  complimentary  interstate  certifi- 
cate. The  Board  also  took  action  on  the  adulteration  law  and  hopes  soon  to 
enforce  the  same  throughout  the  State.  Complaints  should  be  made  to  Dr. 
George  F.  Payne,  State  Chemist,  Atlanta,  or  Dr.  H.  R.  Slack,  Secretary, 
Lagrange.

cus,  May  7.
