Army Issues Circular on Pharmacy Corps Applications

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION
In this connection I desire to take advantage of a few personal remarks. The usual inclusion of a great deal of material relative to committee work has been purposely deleted. The same is likewise true of offering the usual recommendations. This is done deliberately for the reason that at the moment, we have but one great objective, and that is, briefly, to hold fast to that which is good. The ASSOCIA~ TION, as such, and the members as such, can only do their duty as they see it and the needs of the hour indicate. It is not a time or a place for an exploration of the possibilities of the English language. I would be untrue to my own personal feelings, did I not express my appreciation to Dr. E. F. Kelly whose connection and contact with all our people
needs no attention at my hand. I likewise may mention the helpful ministrations of our own Charles R. Bohrer, Assistant Secretary, Dr. George Bealof the Publication Committee, Dr. Robert Fischelis, Chainnan of the Council and a host of others, who some way or other, contributed time and intelligent cooperation. As to any shortcomings of my personal administra~ tion, your president assumes full responsibility. My section of the road has been long and sometimes over rough paving but my contact with my fellow pharmacists has been inspiring spiritually. That our work may keep our profession on the right highway, and our hearts and faces to the light. is my closing prayer.

IELD OF COSMETICS The application of his pharmaceutical and chemical training to the preparation of toiletries and cosmetics offers a real opportunity to the pharmacist to develop a highly profitable, specialized service.
In such articles he controls the quality of the ingredients, the skill of manufacture, the
method of packaging, the means of promotion, and the consumer price.

This chapter was entirely revised for the new edition and the formulas are thoroughly
modern in their utilization of such new materials as sodium lauryl sulfate, triethanolamine, mannitol mono-oleate, etc.
The chapter on cosmetic preparations alone is worth the price of the
