| Permit me to make few observations upon tho
qualifications requisite to practice the art of pha.-
macy for the general information of the unin-
formed and for the special enlightenment of those
interested in the state of affairs that have so long

ItSeems that there Is dispensary connected with
this institution in which the prescriptions for the
hospital patients compounded and which
necessarily contain supplies of the drugs and prep
arations ordered by the physicians in their pre-
! seriptions.
From the statements Of the ex-Inedica stan, this
dispenSary Is in charge of person who is not le-
gally and conscientiously qualified to act as dis
penSer. That this person is one of the sisters of the
religious order that hnS charge of the place is need
less to mention. OF this dispensers real merits

cused Of any unfair motive But Of what do feel
myself justified to speak is the amount of knOWl-
| edge which any one must possess TO deserve the
title of pharniacist" and no O.her-not even
physcian-is competent to assume the position
which belongs TO pharmacists. shall briefly set
forth the qualifications which a dispenser of ned-
cines must possess.
He must be able TO compound prescriptions ex-
actly and stillfiIIiy. His knowledge of combina
tions of doses OF inc0mpatibles must be equal or
superior 10 that possessed by the practitioner Of
medicine The pharmacist must be able TO detect
any error in prescription from ignorance or in
advertence OH the part of the writer, which, if un
detected, might lead to disastrous results. He
mast know the properties of crude drugs the
characters ofthcir genuincness and goodness ard
be able to detect spurious ones and the many a6iul
terations that are constantly practised He must
make the official and otficinal preparations ex
actly and correctly, and constantly guard their
stability by watching the changes thSt time, air,
and weather are SO apt to produce He must be
able to test chemically, all inorganic drugs and
preparations and be able toasccriain their purity
Any one who has charge of dispenSary or drug
store without the above abilities does not deserve
the name ofpharmacist, and cannot be trusted by
the physicians who prescribe Or the sick who con-

A staIwart Cabinet wanted.

To The Editor Of The Republican:
Please excuse us, but our sense OF duty eomPels
us to grasp our pen and make few comments on
subject that ten thousand of our most intelligent
men in Washington city are mostly interested in,
and that is the composition of the next admins
tration. Go look, if you please, in the corridors
and rooms ofthe several departments and offices
and see how numerous is the rebel element. See
the men and women whose antecedents are OF
most bitter political dislOyalty who have gained
access there through the simple recommendation
of citizens whose patriotism have never been tested
No, Mr.. Editor, give us pure and unadulterated
Stalwart Republican Cabinet or clean cut out and
out Democrat. And if General Garfield thinks
he was elected by and through the influence OF
Democrats, why we have no objections to their
holding these soft places. But We know better.
We know thai nothing but true, genuine stalwart-
ism made him the next chief magistrate, and the
Stalwarts of the West demand d Stalwart admins
tration, and will not be content with any other.
Give us the pure article or none. No more milk
and water Cabinets, if you please. We want the
next Cabinet to drive out every one of these sneak
ing rebel clerks that the leaders of the Democratic
party have placed in the different Departments,
and give their places 10 loyal REPUBLICANS.

The names of Garfield and Arthur at

as a false heading to deceive the voter.
The names of the electors-at-large on the
ticket were those of the Greenback elec-

except that of John s. Richardson, are
" nObodies," or candidates of no party
whatever.

grounds for his claims, Notwithstanding
