On  motion  of  Mr.  Moore,  a  committee  was  appointed  to  wait  on  the  Apo- 
thecaries of  the  city  to  ascertain  what  number  of  students,  resident  in  the 
city,  may  be  expected  to  attend  the  lectures  during  the  ensuing  fall  and 
winter.    The  Chairman  appointed  Messrs.  Smith,  Moore  and  Thompson* 
Mr.  Baxley  gave  notice  of  a  resolution  to  amend  the  By-Laws  in  Law 
2nd,  Section  4th,  relating  to  the  receiving  of  money  by  the  Secretary ;  he 
proposes  to  strike  out  this  section  and  to  insert  the  word  "  receive"  after 
the  words  "  The  Treasurer  shall,"  in  section  1st  of  law  3d. 
The  term  of  office  of  the  President,  Secretary,  Treasurer  and  one  of  the 
Board  of  Examiners  having  expired,  the  College,  in  accordance  with  the 
requirement  of  the  Charter,  went  into  an  election  for  those  officers  respec- 
tively. The  following  gentlemen  were  nominated  and  unanimously  re- 
elected : 
George  W.  Andrews,  President. 
William  S.  Thompson,  Secretary. 
J.  B.  Baxley,  Treasurer. 
Joseph  Roberts,  Examiner. 
Mr.  Baxley  proposed  to  adopt  a  formula  for  Stokes'  Liniment,  to  be  used 
by  members  of  the  College  when  that  preparation  is  prescribed  by  Physi- 
cians ;  his  attention  had  been  directed  to  the  matter  by  a  physician,  who 
states  that  his  patients  had  been  furnished  with  the  article  differing  greatly, 
both  in  strength  and  appearance,  from  different  shops.  Mr.  B.  further  stated 
that  his  object  was  to  produce  uniformity  in  the  preparation.  The  formula 
now  offered  he  believed  to  be  the  original  as  prescribed  by  Dr.  Stokes.  It 
is  as  follows : 
B.    01.  Terebinth.  f.  giij. 
Acid.  Acetic,  fort.      f.  ^ss« 
Vitellum  Ovi  j. 
Aquae  Rosas  f.  §iij. 
01.  Limonis  f.  3j.  M. 
This  formula  he  had  used  for  many  years  past,  and  upon  inquiry  he 
had  found  that  several  pharmaceutists  of  his  acquaintance  had  used  the 
same.
