ciation now  numbers  190  members.  After  four  years  of  faithful  service

Constitution,  By-Lavjs  and  Code  of  Ethics  of  the  Chicago  College  of 
Pharmacy,  with  a  list  of  Officers  and  Members.  Organized  and  incor- 
porated Sept.  5,  1859.     Chicago,  1867. 
From  the  tone  of  this  pamphlet  it  may  be  inferred  that  the  Chicago 
College  of  Pharmacy  has  turned  over  a  new  leaf,  and  is  about  to  com- 
mence a  career  of  increased  usefulness.  The  programme  for  the  School 
of  Pharmacy  proposed  to  be  established  is  given,  and  it  is  more  than 
probable  that  it  will  commence  in  the  fall  of  1868.  So  far  as  we  have 
heard  the  faculty  have  not  been  appointed.
