addition  ;  and  that  when  such  addition  is  made,  if  it  should  not  be 
sufficient  to  prevent  the  fusing  of  a  suppository  at  animal  temperature? 
no  irritating  or  harmful  effect  is  produced  either  upon  the  vagina  or 
urethra.  Where  a  larger  quantity  than  that  mentioned  above  is  added? 
the  annoyance  produced  requires  the  removal  or  ejection  of  the  sup- 
pository before  any  harm  may  be  done. — Proc.  Amer.  Pharm.  Assoc. t

The  Annual  Commencement  of  the  fiftieth  session  of  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  was  held  on  Wednesday  evening,  March  15th,  1871,  at  the 
American  Academy  of  Music.  The  degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy  was  con- 
ferred on  the  Graduating  Class  by  the  President  of  the  College,  Dillwyn  Par- 
rish.  Seven  of  the  graduates  were  passed  at  the  June  examination,  1870,  the 
remainder  (62)  at  the  present  March  examination. 
The  Valedictory  Address,  made  by  Prof.  Edward  Parrish,  was  appropriate 
to  the  occasion,  and  very  well  received. 
The  public  presentation  to  the  College  of  a  portrait  of  Prof.  John  M,  Maisch 
by  the  Graduating  Class,  was  prevented  by  a  misunderstanding,  by  which  the 
picture  was  not  sent  to  the  Academy. 
The  usual  liberal  donation  of  boquets,  and  other  presents  of  books,  etc.,  to 
the  graduates  from  their  fair  friends,  was  observed,  and  it  was  curious  to  no- 
tice the  usual  variableness  which  marked  the  gifts  of  fortune  to  the  donees,^ 
yet  we  believe  all  were  remembered. 
By  order  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Report  of  the  Examining  Committee
