of  his  many  years'  connection  with  the  drug  trade  of  Philadelphia. 
Professor  Kraemer,  in  noting  the  presentation  of  a  tablet  machine 
from  the  Smith,  Kline  &  French  Company,  moved  that  the  thanks 
of  the  College  be  tendered  the  donors  for  the  valuable  accession  to
