one,  and  even  orders  have  been  received.  In  discussing  the  report 
Mr.  Beringer  asked  if  it  was  possible  to  reprint  the  missing  back 
numbers  in  order  to  supply  complete  sets.  Professor  Remington 
suggested  making  use  of  a  photographic  process,  in  place  of  printing, 
to  replace  back  numbers,  when  Mr.  England  moved  that  in  order  to 
secure  reprints  of  back  numbers  .the  subject  be  referred  to  the 
Publication  Committee,  with  power  to  act.    So  ordered. 
Report  of  Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings. — Pro- 
fessor Kraemer  said  that  the  work  done  during  the  past  few  years 
has  not  been  all  it  should  be,  owing  to  the  fact  that  (as  there  are 
so  many  pharmaceutical  societies  in  Philadelphia)  there  was  a  cor- 
responding division  of  energy.  Yet  there  are  some  indications  that 
our  College  may  be  able  to  come  back  to  the  work  in  the  old  spirit 
and  with  renewed  vigor.  In  addition  to  the  meeting  last  May,  when 
the  students  of  the  graduating  class  presented  abstracts  of  their 
theses,  there  have  been  three  other  meetings  held.  The  first  of  these 
was  in  October,  when  Professor  Eugene  Charabot,  of  Paris,  gave  a 
charming  address  in  French  on  "  The  Formation  and  Distribution 
of  Odorous  Products  in  Plants."  This  was  rather  a  unique  occasion 
in  that  a  large  number  of  students  were  present  and  nearly  every 
one  expressed  delight  in  the  privilege  of  hearing  this  discourse.  The 
article  was  printed  in  full  in  the  Journal,  translation  having  been 
made.  He  also  stated  that  he  had  just  received  a  request  from  the 
editor  of  a  Hungarian  periodical  to  reprint  the  address. 
Another  meeting  was  held  in  November.  Professor  La  Wall 
had  an  article  on  the  "  Detection  of  Chicory  in  Decoctions  of  Chicory 
and  Coffee."  This  paper  caused  a  great  deal  of  interest,  and  was 
published  in  full  in  the  Journal.  Mr.  Boring  exhibited  several 
specimens  of  elixir  of  iron,  quinine,  and  strychnine,  and  Professor 
Remington  gave  an  illustrated  lecture  on  "  Some  Pharmaceutical 
Celebrities  I  Have  Met  " ;  also  touching  on  the  pharmaceutical  col- 
leges and  the  professional  aspect  of  pharmacy  in  Europe,  especially 
England  and  Germany. 
The  third  meeting  was  held  in  February,  when  Mr.  Lobeck 
gave  a  talk  on  "  A  Roughing  Trip  Across  the  Continent,"  illustrated 
with  colored  photographs.  It  was  a  very  practical  talk  not  only  on 
how  one  should  arrange  a  vacation,  but  to  get  the  most  out  of  it.
