field of usefulness of this subject to the pharmacist. The influences of habit, tolerance, and idiosyncrasy are fully considered.

Particular attention is given to dosage, medicinal, toxic, and lethal. Also absorption, elimination, and cumulative actions of poisonous substances. The signs and symptoms of poisons are studied in each case, and antidotes and medical treatment receive attention.

Text-book: Brundage's Toxicology.

Supplemental to this are several lectures on "First Aid to the Injured,'' to inform the pharmacist of the needs of persons who have met with accidents, as he is often called upon to act in this capacity in the absence of a physician.

PHARMACAL JURISPRUDENCE.

Mr. H. R. WILEY.

A course of fifteen lectures to the Senior class setting forth the rights and responsibilities of pharmacists and the laws affecting the

same.

Syllabus. History and development of the law in general: Consituation of the United States and State Constitutions; Federal law and State law; equity; international law; definitions; the origin and scope of pharmacal jurisprudence and history of same; statutes regulating practice of pharmacy, and their constitutionality; the trend of recent legislation affecting the pharmacist; the legal limits of pharmacy, and the right to practice; legal qualifications of pharmacist; granting and revoking license to practice; the implied contract of guaranty on the part of pharmacist; liability of seller of drugs; liability of pharmacist; liability of manufacturing pharmacist; contributory negligence, and other special features; insurance on drugs; important business features; patents, copyrights, expert witnesses, pharmacist in court, Pure Food and Drug decisions, etc.

GRADUATE COURSES.

THIRD OR GRADUATE YEAR.

This course is intended to meet the needs of two classes of persons-those desiring to continue their studies beyond the customary requirements for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist and to receive the Bachelor's degree, and those who wish for special instruction in the theory and technique of the branches of science included in a course of pharmacy but who are not candidates for graduation.

Students desiring to obtain the degree of Phar.B., whether graduates of this college or of other colleges requiring equivalent qualifications for graduation, are admitted to this course without examination, if they were matriculated upon qualifications that would have admitted them to the College of Letters or of Science of the University of California.

The course consists of thirty weeks' instruction, including quantitative chemical analysis, toxicology, the chemistry of the urine, bacteriology, the assay of drugs, foods, and pharmaceuticals, and advanced work in microscopy and pharmacognosy. Upon completing the course, presenting a thesis showing original work, and passing an examination, the successful candidate will receive the degree of Bachelor of Pharmacy.

Other students who are not candidates for the Bachelor's degree, whether seeking to qualify themselves to serve as examiners under the Pure Food and Drug Laws or simply desiring special advanced instruction, will be admitted on giving proof by examination or otherwise of their fitness to take up the work with advantage to themselves and with credit to the college. Provision has been made for those who may wish to take this course but have not acquired the knowledge and technique of analytical chemistry and microscopy which are needed to pursue profitably the line of study required. Such persons will be required to do preliminary work in order to fit themselves for the course. On satisfactorily completing the course they will receive certificates certifying to the work which they have done.

Chemistry: Analytical and Applied.

Professor GREEN.

This course is a continuation of the Senior laboratory work, but in addition to dealing with the chemical examination of drugs and medicinal preparations, it aims to fit pharmacists to become analysts of foods.

The course comprises the assay of certain drugs and spices for the purpose of estimating the proportion of the most valued constituents; also the complete analysis of others, determining the ash, fibre, sugars, oils, resins, alkaloids, glucosides, and other active principles. The official assays of drugs are carried out not only with samples found on the market, but also by comparison with those grown in the botanic garden.

Fixed oils, fats, and waxes are analyzed according to the U. S. P. methods, and also by the official and provisional methods of the Division of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture.

Essential oils are assayed and tested by the U. S. P. methods.

The spectroscope is used in the recognition and study of the alkalies and alkali-earths in water. Also the absorption spectra of colors are observed, together with refractometric work.

Water analysis from its sanitary aspect is taught.

Attention is given to the chemistry of the sugars, including the gravimetric and polarimetric methods in use.

Toxicology, embracing the study of the inorganic, volatile, and organic poisons, receives the student's attention at the latter part of the course. Besides testing for the poisons and studying their reactions, animal experiments are made and the poison identified or recovered from the different organs and tissues.

The course includes a study of the chemistry of the urine, with the qualitative and quantitative estimations of its constituents, both normal and pathogenic.

The period of study parallels the other chemical laboratory

courses.

Histology of Foods and Drugs.

Professor SCHNEIDER.

This course will consist of a microscopical examination of food products and drugs and their more common adulterants. Its aim is to better prepare the student to meet the demands of the Pure Food and Drug Laws. It will conform as nearly as possible with the methods of study and investigation recommended by the Department of Agriculture.

The work will begin immediately after the Christmas vacation and will comprise two laboratory sessions each week.

Bacteriology.

Professor SCHNEIDER.

This course consists of laboratory work, including the preparation of culture media, culture methods, and methods of staining; the culture, examination, and identification of some of the more common microbes of earth, air, and water; a study of the nature of opsonins and of toxins, antitoxins, and microbic products generally. Furthermore, each student is assigned some special work, as the study of the microbic contaminations of pharmaceutical preparations, of water, of foods, etc. There are occasional seminar meetings for the purpose of reading papers, comparing notes, and reporting progress.

Microscopy.

Professor CAREY.

This course has for its basis of work advanced botany, histology, micro-chemistry, and micro-technique. It will be varied to meet
