Mr.  W.  S.  Thompson  made  some  remarks  on  the  mode  of  preparing 
Syrup  Rhei  Aromat.,  recommending  the  following  process  :  "  Having  re- 
duced the  ingredients  to  a  coarse  powder  separately,  make  a  tincture  of 
the  aromatics  with  a  small  portion  of  the  diluted  alcohol.  Mix  the  dregs 
left  after  the  displacement  of  the  aromatic  portion  with  the  rhubarb  and 
a  sufficient  quantity  of  washed  sand,  and  displace  with  the  remainder  of 
the  diluted  alcohol.  Proceed  in  the  usual  manner  for  making  syrup,  and 
when  the  process  is  nearly  completed  add  the  Aromatic  Tincture,  previously 
reduced  by  evaporation  over  a  water  bath  to  one  half." 
The  Committee  to  whom  was  referred  the  Treasurer's  account,  made 
their  report  which  was  accepted.
