his  memory.  I  can  see  a  number  of  difficulties  that  will  have  to  be 
overcome  in  the  conduct  of  such  an  establishment,  but  without 
doubt  these  can  all  be  overcome. 
The  Faculty  and  Directors  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy would,  it  seems  to  me,  be  the  proper  persons  to  be  entrusted 
with  the  carrying  out  of  this  project  by  reason  of  his  association 
with  its  early  history,  and  Philadelphia  being  the  city  in  which  his 
life-work  was  done ;  and  I  see  no  reason  why  a  national  monument 
should  not,  in  this  way,  be  cared  for  by  the  mother  of  all  the  col- 
leges in  the  United  States.

Dear  Sir: — Replying  to  your  letter  of  April  4th,  in  which  you 
state  that  it  may  be  possible  to  establish  a  research  laboratory  at  the 
fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  A. Ph.  A,,  I  have  to  say  that  I  am  greatly 
pleased  at  this  outcome  of  the  discussion,  and  if  there  is  anything 
I  can  do  to  further  the  scheme  by  encouraging  sentiment  in  favor,  I 
should  be  very  glad.  I  hope  that  the  research  laboratory  will  in- 
clude various  kinds  of  pharmacological  work,  will  not  confine  itself 
to  strictly  chemical  study,  but  will  embrace  physiological  pharma- 
cology, which  has  grown  to  be  so  important  to  the  physician  espe- 
cially, but  to  the  pharmacist  as  well. 
Anything  that  we  can  do  in  this  laboratory  on  the  broad  lines  of 
medical  and  pharmaceutical  science  for  the  benefit  of  human  society, 
should  meet  with  hearty  approval,  and  should  have  the  co-operation 
of  all  interested  in  medical  science  in  any  of  its  branches.

Dear  Sir  :— Your  agreeable  communication  of  recent  date,  rela- 
tive to  the  project  of  a  Procter  Memorial,  and  asking  for  an  expres- 
sion of  opinion  thereon,  has  been  duly  considered,  and  we  beg  to 
state  as  follows : 
Believing,  as  we  do,  in  a  glorious  future  for  American  pharmacy, 
and  in  the  eminent  value  of  the  instrumentality  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  in  promoting  that  consummation,  we 
quite  agree  with  the  proposition  conveyed  in  your  editorial  in  the 
American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  of  November  last,  that  the  fiftieth 
a>  niversary  of  the  Association  be  commemorated  by  some  act  of
