The Pharmaceutical era. n of aceticacid on sulphuric Bourquelot hadsought the origin of thebrown color sometimes to be noticed on gum arable, believes this produced by an oxidizing ferment con-tained in the gum acting on certain astringent substancespresent in the mortified portions of the bark. M. A. Petit (in collaboration with M. Polonowski) hadpresented some notes on the alkaloids of jaborandi. Pilo-carpine and pilooarpidine had been obtained for the firsttime in a pure state, the latter in large transparentprisms, and after several unsuccessful experiments thepilocarpic and pilocarpidic acids had been isolated in theform of syrupy masses. M. Petit thinks these substancesAre isomeres and not homologous, as supposed by Patein had continued his experiments on the combi-nations of autipyrine. M. Behal (with M. P^rancois) hadcontributed a most original and exact paper on chloro-form, which would give the pharmacist new weapons inhis struggle to assure the purity of this important sub-. M. BOURQUELOT. stance, and M. Grimbert, true to his microbiologicalstudies, had discovered four new pneumobacilli. M. L#ger had shown how the various aloines could beidentified by reagents, and M. Moureu had treated ofvarious points of inorganic chemistry. M. Julliardslong experience of practical pharmacy had led him tocriticize the formula for acetic acid; give somenotes on distilled waters, etc., etc.; while M. Planchonhad continued his ever popular sketclies of the historyof pharmaceutical education. Various other contributionswere also named and analyzed. After the conclusion of this report, M. G. Dethan andM. Dufau came forward to receive the medals awardedby the society. M. G. Dethan. who treated the questionof lady pharmacists in so clever a manner at the Brus-sels Congress, won his Natural Sciences medal by athesis on the Acanthaceije.
