The  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association,  at  a  meeting  held  at  Long 
Branch,  August  16th,  passed  the  following  resolutions,  which  were  ofifered  by 
Mr.  James  Stratton,  of  Bordentown  : 
WJiereas,  by  an  act  of  Congress,  approved  July  14th,  1870,  the  provisions  of 
a  former  act  were  repealed,  allowing  the  Apothecary  or  retail  Druggist  to  sell 
Alcohol  and  Spirits  for  medicinal  purposes,  under  a  license  of  Ten  Dollars; 
and,  whereas  by  such  repeal,  a  retail  Druggist  or  Apothecary  is  now  compelled, 
by  act  of  July  30th,  1868,  to  take  out  a  Retail  Liquor  Dealer's  license  the  same 
as  a  Hotel,  paying  for  it  the  sum  of  Twenty- Five  Dollars,  the  same  as  an  ordi- 
nary vender  of  ardent  spirits  for  drinking  purposes  ;  therefore 
1.  Be  it  Resolved,  By  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association  now  as- 
sembled, that  we  deem  the  tax  of  $25.00,  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Act,  as 
oppressive  and  unjust  upon  ^  branch  of  the  medical  profession,  who  are  obliged 
to  dispense  ardent  spirits  in  various  ways  for  medicinal  purposes  as  well  as  for 
use  in  the  arts  ;  who  have  no  desire  or  intention  of  selling  it  for  drinking  pur- 
poses or  to  make  money  out  of  its  sale  in  that  way. 
2.  jResoZved,  That  we  consider  ourselves  as  well  entitled  to  exemption  from 
license  tax  as  the  Physician,  the  Dentist  or  the  Lawyer,  especially  as  we  are 
reached  by  stamp  tax  on  so  many  proprietary  articles  ;  but  should  it  be  de- 
manded that  we  pay  a  license  on  account  of  the  small  amount  of  spirits  we  are 
obliged  to  dispense  or  use  in  our  legitimate  business,  then  we  claim,  as  a  sim- 
ple act  of  justice,  that  the  tax  be  $10.00  for  an  Apothecary's  License  to  sell 
Alcohol  and  Spirits  for  medicinal  purposes,  which  sum  will  be  ample  compensa- 
tion for  the  benefits  it  confers. 
3.  Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  Resolutions,  signed  by  the  officers  of  this 
Association,  be  furnished  to  each  of  our  Senators  and  Representatives  in  Con- 
gress, and  that  they  be  urged  to  secure  the  repeal  of  that  portion  of  the  Revenue 
Act  bearing  upon  us,  or  at  any  rate  that  the  tax  be  reduced  to  the  amount 
named  in  the  original  law. 
Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy.  In  our  notice  of  the  annual  meeting  of  this 
College,  published  in  the  July  number  of  the  Journal,  we  overlooked  the  fol- 
lowing resolution,  which  is  another  evidence  of  the  enlargement  of  the  field  of 
pharmaceutical  education  in  this  country  : 
Whereas,  This  College  has  long  desired  to  establish  a  Chair  of  Botany  in 
its  School,  in  which  it  has  been  hindered  because  of  no  natural  advantage  to 
demonstrate  the  Science,  and  whereas,  a  Pharmaceutical  education  is  incom- 
plete without  a  theoretical  and  practical  knowledge  of  Systematic  Botany, 
therefore.  Resolved,  That  the  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy  most  respectfully 
petition  the  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  Baltimore  to  appropriate  a  suitable
