Meeting  called  to  order,  Wm.  Mclntyre  in  the  chair.  The  reading  of  the 
minutes  of  the  last  meeting  was  dispensed  with. 
The  following  books  and  pamphlets  were  presented  to  the  College:  "Pro- 
ceedings of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,"  vol.  20th,  containing- 
an  account  of  the  meeting  held  in  Cleveland,  Ohio;  "The  Year  Book  of  Phar- 
macy," and  the  "Transactions  of  the  British  Pharmaceutical  Conference  Ninth 
Annual  Meeting;"  "Proceedings  of  the  Fourth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Pharmaceutical  Society  ;"  "  Proceedings  of  the  Third  Annual  Meeting 
of  the  Vermont  Pharmaceutical  Society,"  and  "  Des  Aconits  et  de  l'Aconi- 
tine,"  par  Charles  Patrouillard. 
Prof.  Maisch,  on  behalf  of  Messrs.  G.  Mallinckrodt  &  Co.,  of  St.  Louis,  pre- 
sented a  sample  of  carbazotate  of  ammonia.  This  carbazotate  of  ammonia 
has  been  recommended  by  Dr.  Dujardin-Beaumetz,  of  Paris,  *as  a  substi- 
tute for  quinia  in  the  treatment  of  fevers.  The  donors  write  that  it  has 
been  used  by  a  number  of  physicians  in  St.  Louis,  and  with  marked  success  in 
some  severe  cases  where  quinia  and  arsenic  had  failed.  These  physicians, 
have  promised  to  report  their  experience  through  the  Journals,  and  it  is  be- 
lieved, from  the  statements  made  thus  far,  that  if  this  preparation  does  not 
prove  a  substitute  for,  it  will  at  least  become  a  valuable  adjuvant  to  quinia  in
