Michigan School of Pharmacy.

F. F. Ingram, Jr., B. S. (Pharm.) 1911 gave a very interesting and instructive talk before the Prescott Club at its December meeting. The subject was Perfumes and Their Manufacture. "Freddie" is very able to speak of these matters, having spent a year studying the subject in France.

Percy Mack, Ph. C., '12, who purchased the store of J. A. Tice in this city, has built up a fine business in the past three months. Mack hopes to have one of the best prescription stores in Ann Arbor very soon.

The freshman class gave a smoker at the Michigan Union the evening of December 16. Short talks were given by President Weaver, Professor Stevens and Dr. Hubbard.

Professor Stevens spent New Years with relatives in Defiance, Ohio.

Mr. N. B. Lawrence spent his Christmas Holidays at Pittsburgh, Pa. We are all wondering the outcome.

Miss Ethel Person, Ph. C., '11, who is now a chemist with Merck & Co., Rahway, N. J. spent Christmas with her mother in this city.

Mr. Harry Van Duzer of Rock Island, Ill., who is one of the special lecturers of the College of Pharmacy, has just completed a series of very interesting lectures on salesmanship. These lectures have been given at one-thirty Tuesday afternoons during the first semester. They were attended by all of the students of the College and a large number of students in other colleges of the University who were interested in salesmanship. Mr. Van Duzer is especially capable of giving such a course of lectures since he has had many years of experience in both wholesale and retail business. This, together with his pleasing personality and ability to make his points perfectly clear has made this a most valuable course to the students of the College.

Dean and Mrs. W. J. Teeters visited relatives at Davenport, Ia., during Christmas vacation. We noticed the Dean carrying his golf bag and on his return we noticed several new scalps on his belt.

Professor Zada M. Cooper spent Christmas vacation with her mother and father at Red Oak, Ia.

A unique Christmas present came to Dean W. J. Teeters in the form of a live alligator. Mr. E. Berger of Tampa, Florida sent it. The crocodile is only a yearling, but in the new cage which has been provided for it at the College it is hoped that it will grow on its carnivorous diet and in time to come, form an interesting addition to the pharmaceutical museum. As a student has put it, "The Dean may some day have sufficient alligator leather to make a traveling bag."

Professor R. A. Kuever was called to Mason City, Iowa, as an expert chemist in a poison case which occurred there recently.

Payne's Dictionary of Pharmacy.

This work treats of pharmacy and its allied branches. Modern pharmacy has advanced so rapidly that such a work has been much needed by both teachers and students. The book is arranged alphabetically with matters relating to the same subject grouped together that they may be studied in an intelligent and connected manner. There are many portions of the U. S. Pharmocopoeia explained and emphasized in a manner which would not be proper nor practical in the Pharmocopoeia itself and which the Boards expect students to know, but are not found in most of the text books. The work is based on the American idea of short, clear questions and direct definitions and explanations, and is an excellent review for students who are seriously studying pharmacy in the standard text books, for teachers and for Board examiners. It is not intended as a compend at all. It represents a great mass of pharmacy put in a concentrated, alkaloidal form.

There are numerous isolated facts that the young pharmacist is expected to be familiar with that are not found in ordinary text books, but which are more or less thoroughly learned in a drug store by the process called "absorption." Many such facts are explained in the work. The book contains over 3000 questions and answers and is kept as small as possible by being printed on very thin paper, in small type, with narrow margins so that it can easily be carried in the pocket, if printed in the ordinary way, it would be the size of the usual $3.00 book. The price is $2.50 a copy, bound in full morocco.

The work seems to be appealing to everyone who has seen it.

It is not intended to supplant any of the standard works on pharmacy or allied subjects, but to fill a want which we know is much felt by many teachers and students in regard to many important things not elsewhere for convenient study, or not mentioned at all. It is based on fifty two years experience in pharmacy and all its allied branches.
