CATALOGUE  OF  THE  CLASP. 
alcoholometry  and  organic  analysis  are  included.  The  courses  on  toxi- 
cology and  urinalysis  are  specially  directed  to  medical  students  and  physi- 
cians, and  are  very  thorough.  The  course  on  practical  pharmacy,  which 
appears  to  be  a  new  feature,  embraces  five  parts  :  1,  weighing  and  mea- 
suring, including  specific  gravity  ;  2,  the  determination  of  alkalies  and 
acids ;  3,  distillation ;  4,  preparations,  including  chemicals  inorganic  and 
organic,  solutions,  tinctures,  wines,  extracts,  syrups,  pills,  troches,  etc., 
etc.,  following  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia, — giving  especial  attention  to  the 
methods  of  percolation,  evaporation  in  vacuo,  etc.;  5,  extemporaneous 
pharmacy,  including  the  compounding  of  prescriptions,  spreading  plasters, 
emulsionizing,  etc.,  finishes  the  course.  As  this  course  is  necessarily 
based  on  the  preliminary  one  on  qualitative  analysis,  the  pharmaceutical 
student,  being  familiar  with  chemical  changes,  is  prepared  to  detect  in- 
compatibles  and  adulterations. 
The  University  authorities  have  erected  a  building  specially  for  the 
accommodation  of  this  School,  with  complete  modern  appliances  for  heat- 
ing, ventilation  and  for  investigations.  The  term  begins  October  1st,  and 
continues  nine  months. 
So  far  as  can  be  judged  by  the  programme,  and  from  the  knowledge  we 
have  of  Prof.  Douglass  as  a  teacher,  we  believe  this  Schoool  calculated  to 
be  very  useful  to  those  who  attend  it.  '  The  liberal  basis  on  which  the 
University  of  Michigan  is  conducted  gives  all  the  tuitional  advantages  of 
the  University  courses,  including  those  of  this  School,  for  thirty  dollars  ; 
but  the  student  must  pay  for  the  chemical  apparatus  actually  consumed  in 
analysis,  etc.,  at  the  ordinary  retail  prices.  It  is  such  a  School  as  this 
that  the  Alumni  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  propose  to  endow 
in  that  Institution,  and  to  be  conducted  parallel  with  the  thorough  theo- 
retical courses  which  have  long  been  given  under  its  auspices.
