The  proposed  questions  embrace  the  conditions  for  the  organization  of 
meteorological  observatories ;  climatology  of  sanitary  stations,  their  com- 
parison and  classification;  influence  of  the  climate  of  high  localities  upon 
pulmonary  affections,  and  of  maritime  climates  upon  tuberculosis. 
The  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  held  its  summer  commencement  in  the

Addresses  were  made  by  Hon.  B.  R.  Smith,  T.  W.  Sanders,  W.  K.  Forsythe, 
and  Professors  Bastin  and  Garrison. 
The  University  of  Michigan  had  its  annual  commencement  June  28th,  when

J?air  Tome— Quinine  sulphate  60  grains  ;  oil  of  cajeput  2  drachms ;  atter 
of  rose  10  drops;  bay  rum  1  pint;  lanolin  J  ounce.  To  be  applied  to  the 
scalp  with  vigorous  brushing  twice  a  week. 
Numerous  formulas  of  a  similar  character  are  in  use.  The  above  was 
prescribed  under  the  supposition  that  a  perfect  solution  would  be  formed^ 
which  is  impossible  owing  to  the  insolubility  of  lanolin  in  the  bay  rum. 
Similar  hair  tonics  are  sometimes  made  with  a  stronger  alcoholic  menstruum 
and  sufficient  castor  oil  to  form  a  clear  solution  at  ordinary  temperatures ; 
and  chinoidine  or  alcoholic  extract  of  cinchona  is  used  in  jjlace  of  quinine.

Annual  of  the  Universal  Medical  Sciences. — A  yearly  report  of  the  progress 
of  the  general  sanitary  sciences  throughout  the  world.  Edited  by  Charles 
E.  Sajous,  M.  D.,  lecturer  on  Laryngology  and  Ehinology  in  JeflPerson 
Medical  College,  Philadelphia ;  and  seventy  associate  editors,  assisted  by 
over  two  hundred  corresponding  editors,  collaborators  and  correspondents. 
Philadelphia  and  London.    F.  A.  Davis,  publisher,  1888. 
The  first  issue  of  this  annual  makes  its  appearance  in  five  handsome 
octavo  volumes,  of  about  550  pages  each.  Its  early  publication  was  made 
possible  only  through  official  collaboration  by  a  large  number  of  competent 
men.  The  subject  matter  reported  upon  is  necessarily  classified  according 
to  diseases,  or  rather  classes  of  diseases,  and  each  head  is  intended  to  contain 
all  the  observations  made  on  the  subject  during  the  preceding  year.  That 
this  intention  has  been  carried  out,  may  be  inferred  from  the  names  of  the 
editors,  printed  upon  seven  pages  of  the  preliminary  portion  in  the  first 
volume.  The  work  is  printed  with  clear  types  upon  heavy  paper  and  is 
illustrated  with  numerous  wood  cuts,  chromolithographs,  maps,  etc. 
Aside  from  the  completeness  and  reliability  of  the  work  due  to  the  care 
of  the  collaborators,  it  has  several  peculiar  features,  which  facilitate  its  use. 
Thus,  the  table  of  contents  of  each  volume  is  found  upon  the  back  of  the 
cover ;  and  the  index  to  the  whole  work  has  been  made  in  three  columns, 
the  first  of  which  gives  the  general  references  while  in  the  second  are  found 
therapeutical  observations  and  suggestions,  and  in  the  third  column  the 
names  of  authors  quoted  in  connection  with  the  general  subjects. 
This  annual  will  doubtless  become  an  important  repository  of  the 
researches,  observations  and  progress  in  the  various  departments  of  the 
medical  sciences.
