nets  and  to  the  library.  Since  the  College  has  lost  everything,  anything  related 
to  pharmacy  as  a  trade  or  profession  will  be  an  acceptable  and  welcome  gift. 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. — The  lectures  in  this  institution  have 
commenced  under  very  favorable  auspices,  and  the  practical  school  is  well 
attended.  At  a  special  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  recently  held,  it  was 
resolved,  in  case  the  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  should  be  unable  to  resume 
lectures  during  the  coming  winter,  to  tender  to  all  matriculants  of  that  College 
the  matriculation  ticket,  and  such  lecture  tickets  as  they  may  have  there  paid 
for,  free  of  charge  for  the  present  session. 
The  movement  inaugurated  by  this  College  to  close  dispensing  stores  earlier 
in  the  evening  than  heretofore  (see  p.  474  of  our  last  number),  resulted  in  sev- 
eral meetings  of  the  pharmacists  of  this  city;  and,  after  canvassing  the  city,  it 
was  resolved  to  close  dispensing  stores  at  10  o'clock  P.  M.  A  circular  has 
been  issued,  inviting  the  co-operation  of  the  public,  by  obtaining  medicines 
required,  and  having  old  prescriptions  renewed  before  that  hour. 
The  Yermont  Pharmaceutical  Association  held  its  second  annual  meeting,

Rutland,  and  M.  K.  Paine,  Windsor;  Secretary,  Albert  W.  Higgins,  Rutland; 
and  Treasurer,  Collins  Blakley,  Montpelier.  Fourteen  new  members  were 
elected.  The  Association  appears  to  be  in  a  sound  condition,  and  to  have 
awakened  considerable  interest  in  the  cause  of  pharmacy  throughout  the  State. 
It  resolved  at  the  last  meeting  to  commence  with  the  formation  of  a  library.
