Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1899, Vol. 71 Annual excursion and dinner. - The employés of Burroughs, Wellcome Co., of London, spent a day recently in an excursion to Dover. The Town Hall, where the dinner was given, had been placed at the disposal of the firm by the local authorities. Suitable toasts were proposed and responded to by the members of the firm, employés and press and visitors. Mr. Wellcome stated, among other things in his toast to the employés, that the firm always endeavored to encourage technical education and general development of the minds of those associated with them, and when adding to their staff they tried to secure the services of the very best men.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1897, Vol. 69 When the kino exudes it is of the consistency of molasses, and has a sourish odor. In a few days it dries into a solid mass, which subsequently becomes quite friable. It is owing to this property (shared by other kinos of my turbid group )that it cannot be collected in an indurated condition by simple picking from the bark of the trees, as can kinos belonging to my ruby and gummy groups, which do not become friable with age. As much as 4 gallons have been procured from one tree, but this is exceptional. On an average, not more than 1 quart per tree is obtained, and from the majority of trees no appreciable quantity of kino is obtained by tapping. Many are all but free from it. The usual price paid on the Murray River at the present time, for liquid kino (before induration) is 7d. Per pound, and a large quantity could be forthcoming at that price, if a steady demand were to set in for it. A good workingman can procure between 10 and 12 pounds per day of the liquid kino. It loses but little weight in drying. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1850, Vol. 16 There is a force in the anglo-saxon character, which, if once brought to bear on any object, will gain its end, or bring about material changes in the condition of the things opposed to it; and the results of its energetic manifestations in favor of pharmaceutical reform have been greatly pro portioned to the unanimity of sentiment, and combination of will, exhibited by the acting party.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1869, Vol. 41 On examining a late purchase of Opium, I noticed, on breaking open one of the' larger pieces, that it was much less tenacious or adhesive than Opium usually is when containing the amount of moisture generally found in it. Although having much more of the fragments of poppy cap sules and leaves mixed with it than a good article should, yet this would not account for the peculiar brittleness: or want of tenacity in the Opium, and it was evident that the drug was adulterated.
