3. The Histology of the Cryptogams.

Professor CAREY.

Laboraory course in the study of the histology of types of cryptogamous plants, as algae, fungi, lichens, liverworts, mosses, and ferns. Special attention is given to the evolution and biological relationship of the plant groups referred to as revealed by their structure. The evolution and modification of cells, cell-contents, tissues, and organs; alteration of generations and sporeformation are also considered.

4. The Histology of the Phanerogams.

Professor CAREY.

The laboratory course is a continuation of Course 3, and consists of the study of the histology of coniferous, monocotyledonous, and dicotyledonous plants. Special attention is next given to cellmodification and cell-contents, so as to prepare the student for the intelligent study of the histology of vegetable drugs. Suitable micro-chemical reagents are employed to aid in differentiating cells, tissues, and cell-contents.

5. Vegetable Organography and Taxonomy. Professor CAREY.

A course of lectures and recitations on the gross structure of plant organs, special attention being given to leaf-modification, phyllotaxy, inflorescence, flowers, fruits, and seeds. The principles of classification and nomenclature are explained. This course is intended to prepare the student for an intelligent study of the gross structure of vegetable drugs and the identification and classification of the more common plant forms.

This course is supplemented by field excursions for the purpose of studying the local flora, especially from the ecological and economic standpoint. Each student is required to analyze a number of flowering and fruiting plants. Special attention is given to taxonomy.

6. Materia Medica.

Professor CAREY.

Lectures and recitations on the history, character, gross structure and properties of drugs. Two sessions each week.

7. Human Anatomy and Physiology.

Professor CAREY.

Lectures and recitations intended to acquaint the student sufficiently with the morphology and physiology of the human body, to enable him to understand the processes of digestion, assimilation, circulation, respiration, and nerve action, and the physiological action of drugs.

8. Materia Medica Review.

Dr. SIMMONS.

One hour a week will be devoted to materia medica following the classification of organic drugs by the natural orders.

9. Materia Medica.

SECOND OR SENIOR YEAR.

Professor CAREY.

Lectures and recitations on the nomenclature, natural order, botanic source, part official, habitat, constituents, official preparations, properties, action, uses, and the doses of their preparations. 10. Applied Botany. Professors CAREY and SCHNEIDER.

This is a course of six lectures, dealing with the natural orders to which many of the important medical plants belong. It is placed in the Senior year because the student will better appreciate being able to recognize in field work the members of a family.

Plants from the local flora (as far as possible) will be selected and studied with care. This work will also be elucidated by lantern slides. Certain of the tropical and semi-tropical orders will be considered in the field work in Golden Gate Park.

The following orders will receive special attention: Solanaceae, Cruciferae, Liliaceae, Ranunculaceae, Violaceae Berberidaceae, Malvaceae, Papaveraceae, Leguminosae, Rosaceae, Geraniaceae, Rhamnaceae, Umbelliferae, Labiatae, Scrophulariaceae, Curcubitaceae, Myrtaceae, Compositae.

11. Materia Medica Review.

Dr. SIMMONS.

One hour a week will be devoted to materia medica following the classification of organic drugs by the natural orders.

SECOND OR SENIOR YEAR.

Professor SCHNEIDER.

1. Pharmacognosy.

This course consists of the macroscopical and microscopical study of the more important official and unofficial vegetable and animal drugs. Attention is given to the history of drugs; the habitat and range of drug-yielding plants and their botanical characters, together with the characteristics of the order to which they belong; active and inert constituents; the influence of cultivation on the properties of drugs; the common drug adulterants, the macroscopical and microscopical study of powdered drugs and spices, with special reference to the detection of adulterants, and the identification and comparison of pure and adulterated products;

the modes of collecting, manner of curing, garbling, powdering, sifting, and preserving drugs; drug parasites; causes which lead to the deterioration of drugs; drug sophistication, accidental and criminal; relationship of active and inert drug constituents to methods of extraction; the influence of cultivation on the prop erties and physiological action of drugs; time of collecting.

2. Bacteriology.

Professor SCHNEIDER.

This course will consist of lectures, recitations, and occasional laboratory demonstrations. It will include a discussion of the occurrence, range, and distribution, the morphology and physiology of microbes; microbes in health and disease; the use of microbes in the various industries; disinfectants and disinfection; immunity, natural and acquired; phagocytosis, opsonins, toxins, etc. The course is intended to give the student a general view of the subject with special reference to its bearings upon pharmaceutical practice. It is also a preparatory course to the work of the third or graduate year.

3. Economic Pharmaceutical Botany.

Professor SCHNEIDER.

A course of lectures on the history and commerce of vegetable drugs. A special study of the cultivation of drug-yielding plants in California. What drug-yielding plants may be cultivated profitably in the various geographic areas of the United States, etc.

TOXICOLOGY.

Dr. HAYDN M. SIMMONS.

This course consists of lectures and recitations. It includes the history of Toxicology, with definitions of terms, and a sketch of the 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.
