In calling public attention to the present Course, the Trustees would more especially call upon the Medical Profession and Druggists and Apothecaries generally, to encourage them in carrying out, in the most effectual manner, the important design of providing, at a nominal expense, for a knowledge of Chemistry, Pharmacy, and the collateral Sciences, to our future Apothecaries, and to all others who will avail themselves of the facilities offered.

In urging these, the Trustees have no selfish ends to attain beyond the gratification of ministering to the public good in the elevation of their profession; they desire to see their efforts appreciated and sustained by full classes, and would earnestly ask of their brethren to make sufficient sacrifice of time and convenience to enable their Assistants and Pupils to profit by the opportunity offered for their instruction. The advantages will recur directly to the employer in the improved capacity and usefulness of his Assistants.

The Trustees solicit the influence of the Medical Profession to aid them in cultivating a desire to improve this important Auxilliary Department of the Profession, as the successful treatment of disease is greatly dependent on the integrity and intelligence of the apothecary.

Tickets for the Course on Chemistry, at $7, and on Materia Medica and Pharmacy, at $7, may be procured from
