comply  with  such  reasonable  demands,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  any  such  aggrieved 
to  withdraw  his  patronage  and  support  (and  immediately  report  the  same  to 
this  Association)  and  give  it  to  those  who  will  alike  better  respect  the  proper 
rights  of  the  profession  and  the  greater  good  and  safety  of  the  public. 
The  first  resolution  is  just  to  a  certain  extent,  if  interpreted  in  a  liberal 
manner.  We  remember  a  valued  friend  of  ours  saying,  in  a  meeting  of  phar- 
macists, some  years  ago,  that  he,  in  common  with  nearly  all  others  present,  had 
relieved  many  a  sufferer  from  toothache  without  ever  being  taken  to  account 
for  it  by  his  neighbor  dentist.  No  true  pharmacist  will  undertake  to  act  as 
physician,  though  he  may  be  frequently  called  upon  to  alleviate  the  suffering  of 
his  fellow-man  in  the  absence  of  a  physician  or  in  trivial  or  emergent  cases. 
About  the  subject  of  the  second  resolution  we  have  repeatedly  expressed  our 
opinion  and  do. not  care  to  enter  into  it  again.  But  we  would  respectfully  sug- 
gest to  this  Association  that  in  our  opinion  kind  words  and  sound  reasonings 
will  be  productive  of  more  good  than  ever  so  many  threats  of  vengeance. 
Twelfth  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  Officers  of  the  Long- 
view  Asylum,  to  the  Governor  of  the  State  of  Ohio,  for  the  year  1871.  Cin 
cinnati :  Robert  Clarke  &  Co.,  Printers:    1871.    8vo,  34  pages. 
The  report,  which  is  embellished  with  an  engraving  of  the  Asylum  and  of  the 
building  set  apart  for  colored  persons,  contains  the  usual  information,  financial 
and  statistical.    We  learn  from  it  that  Dr.  Langdon,  for  many  years  the  efficient 
superintendent  of  this  humane  institution,  has  resigned  his  position,  his  place 
being  now  filled  by  Dr.  J.  T.  Webb.    It  may  perhaps  interest  our  readers  to 
know  that  of  2568  insane  patients  treated  in  this  asylum  during  11  years,  5  were 
druggists,  3  druggists'  wives,  7  physicians  and  6  physicians'  wives.
