relief  of  the  diarrhoea.  I  would  not  recommend  twenty-four  drops  as  a  proper 
dose  of  this  fluid,  but  have  an  idea  that  oue  drop  is  rather  homoeopathic. — Med.

passage  of  the  "  Drug  Law,"  reported,  through  James  T.  Shinn,  that  they  had 
prepared  a  remonstrance  to  be  sent  to  the  Legislature  at  Harrisburg,  but  in 
consequence  of  the  defeat  of  the  measure,  they  found  it  unnecessary  to  proceed 
further  in  the  matter.

of  his  connection  with  Pharmacy. 
On  motion,  a  committee,  consisting  of  Professor  John  M.  Maisch,  Alfred  B. 
Taylor  and  James  T.  Shinn,  was  appointed  to  prepare  and  transmit  a  letter  of

Thomas  S.  Wiegand.  on  behalf  of  the  committee  on  deceased  members,  pre- 
sented the  following  report: 
On  May  26th,  1872,  Llewellyn  S.  Haskell,  an  associate  member  of  this 
College,  died  at  Santa  Barbara,  in  the  57th  year  of  his  age.  He  had  been  en- 
gaged in  the  drug  business  in  his  native  State  (Maine),  and  removed  to  Phila- 
delphia, where  he  was  employed  by  W.  &  L.  Krumbhaar,  and  upon  their 
retirement  from  business,  entered  into  partnership  with  the  late  Jos.  Reakirt, 
in  conducting  the  wholesale  drug  business,  on  the  premises  formerly  occupied 
by  the  Krambhaar's  ;  about  eight  years  after  he  removed  to  New  York,  where 
he  was  still  interested  in  the  drug  business  for  several  years.  He  was  a  man 
of  great  activity,  fluent  in  conversation,  and  of  easy  address  ;  he  was  well  in- 
formed on  matters  relating  to  the  drug  business,  having  paid  especial  attention 
to  chemical  studies,  both  in  business  and  in  the  laboratory  of  Professors  Booth 
and  Boye. 
Mr.  Haskell's  health  had  been  delicate  for  a  number  of  years  previous  to  his 
death,  and  it  was  in  hopes  of  recovery  that  the  last  journey  he  made  was  un- 
dertaken.
