FROM THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF
Pharmacy, May, 1865, edited by VIM.
Proctor, Jr., Professor of Pharmacy in
the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy !:
"Will the Fluid Extracts go out of use
owing to the high prices, or can we have
some authoritative notifications of the
formulas by which we can make them at
more reasonable csst2 If the latter,
shall the change be in the quality Of the
menstruum, or the manner ofapplying it,
so as to reduce the quantity requisite ?
Can there be convocation of the Com.
mittee of Revision to authorize some
new method or modification of the pres.
ent recipes?" With regard to the con-
templated change in the quantity, or in
the menstruum itself, in the preparation
of fluid extracts, would take occasion
to say that in medicine the health Of the
patient is the great object to be gained.
The cost of the material is something,
but when put in the scale with human
health, and often human life, it is hardly
worthy of consideration at all. My Blu
chu (Helmbold' 81 will continue to be
made as formerly, and if it cannot be
maintained at present prices, they will
have to be advanced to meet the advance
in the price of material. To such as de.
aire quantity instead of quality we would
say that water is cheap commodity,
and may be readily added by the person
using the medicine if he desires to do 80.

voters attempting to vote. There are four
hundred extra police in service. All drinking

indications, that the Unconditional Union party
will have a large majority. There is much re-
joicing over the Union triumph in Pennsyl-
