MINUTES  OF  THE  PHAI[MAGEUTICAL  MEETING. 
Philadelphia,  January  20th,  1879. 
The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  the  President,  Dillwyn  Parrish  ;  the  minutes 
of  the  last  meeting  were  read  and  approved. 
The  Registrar  presented  five  bound  volumes  of  the  "  American  Journal  of  Phar- 
macy," on  behalf  of  our  fellow  member  Mr.  S.  S.  Bunting,  and  three  volumes  of 
the  "  New  York  Journal  of  Pharmacy,"  published  in  the  years  1851-52-53,  were 
also  donated  to  the  library  by  the  Registrar.  In  this  connection  the  Registrar 
requested  those  members  having  any  of  the  older  volumes  of  our  **  Journal"  which 
they  were  willing  to  donate  to  the  library  to  inform  him,  so  that  he  could  send  for 
them,  as  we  now  only  required  eight  volumes  to  complete  the  entire  series. 
Mr.  Robert  Shoemaker  read  a  paper  entitled  the  apprentice  of  fifty  years  ago  (see 
page  65).  The  reading  elicited  remarks  from  several  present,  citing  instances  of 
similar  character  to  those  noted  by  the  writer.  Mr.  Thompson  said  that  the  paper 
gave  the  younger  portion  of  our  trade  a  clear  apprehension  of  the  great  advantages 
they  possess  over  the  learners  of  olden  times.  On  motion  the  paper  was  referred  to 
the  Publishing  Committee. 
A  paper  upon  the  oxidation  of  iron  hy  nitric  acid  (see  page  74)  was  read  by 
Mr.  F.  L.  Slocum,  a  member  of  the  present  class.  The  paper  was  well  received 
and  referred  to  the  Publishing  Committee.
