Ryan to the AnchorSafety Stopper poison bottle,which is the invention of Mr. Al-bert T. Plummer, of New YorkCity. This consists of a glass rod suspended in the bottle by means of an as-bestos cord, which is attached to the cork. This device serves as a warning, if,by mistake, a bottle containing poison is taken, in two ways, viz.: The suddenarrest of the cork and the rattling of the glass against the sides of the convenient medicine dropper, invented by Dr. W. R. Sine, was also exhibited. On motion, the meeting adjourned. Thos. S. , THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY APRIL, i8gg. SYRUPUS ALTH^^. By F. W. Haussmann,Research Committee E, Pharmacopoeia Revision. The desirability of a formula for this syrup, which would furnisha preparation possessing greater stability, has been expressed byAmerican as well as Continental pharmacists. To the former the present ofificial cold process is extremelyunsatisfactory, and almost every step in the course of preparationhas been subjected to criticism. Prominent objections, as pointed out by different writers, are theshort time directed for macerating the root, the neglect of makingallowance for the amount of menstruum absorbed by the althaeaand consequent failure of dissolving all the sugar in the strainedliquid. By far the greatest difificulty which confronts the pharmacist, lieshowever, in the instability of the syrup. The Pharmacopoeia of 1880 directs recent preparation which, ifthe time necessary for completion is considered, is impracticable.
