Research  Laboratories  for  chemical  and  pharmacognostical  research 
and  for  educational  work,  and  a  grand  prize  and  a  gold  medal  to  the 
Wellcome  Physiological  Research  Laboratories  for  bacteriological 
research  and  preparations,  and  for  educational  work,  while  three 
grand  prizes  and  three  gold  medals  were  awarded  to  Burroughs, 
Wellcome  &  Co.,  for  the  scientific  excellence  of  their  products. 
Along  with  the  science  of  pharmacy  Mr.  Wellcome  has  also  devel- 
oped the  art  of  pharmacy  in  a  high  degree,  and  in  this  he  has  been 
aided  by  his  researches  in  the  history  of  pharmacy  and  medicine, 
and  the  allied  sciences. 
Mr.  Wellcome  married  the  daughter  of  the  distinguished  London 
philanthropist,  Dr.  T.  J.  Barnardo ;  who  has  successfully  rescued 
more  than  fifty  thousand  waifs  from  the  miseries  of  the  slums. 
Mr.  Wellcome  is  unpretentious  and  modest  in  demeanor,  but 
genial  and  kindly,  and  this  together  with  his  magnanimity  in  pro- 
moting scientific  research  and  his  interests  in  public  benefactions 
have  won  him  a  wide  circle  of  friends,  not  only  among  scientific 
and  business  men,  but  also  among  those  in  other  avocations. 
PHARMACEUTICAL  MEETING. 
The  regular  Pharmaceutical  Meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College 
of  Pharmacy  was  held  on  the  evening  of  March  21st,  Prof.  Joseph 
P.  Remington  presiding.  The  meeting  will  probably  go  on  record 
as  one  of  the  most  important  held  in  recent  years  tending  to  the 
uplifting  and  betterment  of  pharmacy.  It  will  be  recalled  that  at 
the  January  meeting  the  subject  of  the  "  Ethical  Relations  of  Phar- 
macists and  Physicians  "  was  considered  by  Dr.  Henry  Beates,  Jr., 
President  of  the  Pennsylvania  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners ; 
Prof.  John  H.  Musser,  President  of  the  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion, and  M.  I.  Wilbert,  Ph.M.,  Apothecary  to  the  German  Hospital, 
Philadelphia,  and  the  papers  at  the  March  meeting  being  on  the 
subject  of  "  Ethical  Pharmaceutical  Practice,"  followed  as  a  sequence. 
This  subject  was  considered  by  men  actively  engaged  in  the  practice 
of  retail  pharmacy,  and  who  were  in  every  way  qualified  to  treat  its 
several  phases. 
Prof.  Henry  P.  Hynson,  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy,  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  was  the  first  speaker,  and  read  a  paper  on
