To  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  : 
Fellow  Members, — It  is  now  thirty- four  years  since  my  connection  with  the 
American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  as  a  contributor  commenced,  and  about  twenty- 
five  years  as  co-editor  and  editor. 
During  this  period  time  and  labor  have  been  freely  given  to  make  the  work 
a  continuous  record  of  the  progress  of  Pharmacy  at  home  and  abroad.  For 
many  years  it  was  a  labor  of  love,  and  despite  the  great  sacrifice  of  time  occa- 
sioned by  contributing  to  its  pages,  the  labor  was  cheerfully  given.  Of  latter 
years  a  change  has  occurred  in  this  respect:  the  work  has  been  continued
