Thia nlfasine duly at an end. the OrinHulu
orobtsti a rendered some chotoa saleoti ms ol
manic, after which Prolossor John M. M-tsoh
delivered the valedictory address. He said:
My Friends: The Philadelphia U illeae of
Pharmacy, liiroiiKh one if lis presiding ofll
cers, has uM conferred npou you i ho highest,
honor whlbh, in conformity with the law of
our Commonwealth, it is capable to oestow;
and, having reocivea me tine oi uraauai.es in
Pharmacy, you formally enter this day tbe
ranks of an ancient and honorable profession,
and are rf cruized as members thereof. Henoe
forth the standing of the vooation of your
choice, be it in regard to its position in civil
life or in its strictly sclentlilo relations, will
in a great measure be reflected
personally upon each of .you; indl.
vldually you will feel more or lata the weal in
which your profession may rejolcs, or the woe
under which it may suffer. You have been
tralntd by a protracted apprenticeship to mas
ter the mechanical duties ot your business;
yon have acquired proficiency in c impound
ing the meaiclnes needed by the bios; you
have learned to regard! he N-Ulunal Pharmaco
poeia as the law book by which all pharma
ceutical preparations must bo made; theoreti
cally and praclicjiiy you have bueit lnstruoled
- lb jour profession and In the sciences upon
which It has been built up; your experience
and yonr sin dies have made you familiar with
the wants of the public; your intercourse with
customers and wMb physicians has taught you
the nroessily of reliability aud of uuceaslng
watchfulness; and by nil this combined you
have acquired a knowledge of tho importance
f pharmacy, and of its office correlative to
that of the medical profession In combating
disease. , . , .....
The speaker, after referring at length to the
history of pharmacy, continued:
There xve no laws rezulatlng the praotice of
fiharmacy now in force in the United States;
ndeed, there are none on tbe entire North
American continent. A 1jw sporadic attempts
Have be n infide. but from various causes ihe
laws have been iueflu lent or have become ob
solete. The aiweneeot all efleotlve legislation
on this subject renders it possible for totally
ignorant pel sods, wbo perhaps have never de
vo-cd an hour's time of teli' previous life to
t he study of medicine or pharmacy, to assume
the responsible position of physician, to open
stores for tbe Kale of medicines and the com
ponnding of prescriptions, to confer upon buf
fer! Dg humanity the intense gratification qf
paying their money as an equivalent for tnar
vellou .peeltios or cure-alls, usually misnamed
pates medicines; even the sale of the most
poten tpolsons has not been legally surroundod
by snub safeguards which the public might ox
pect from tbe Slate, nor has the adulteratlou of
drugs, or even of dietetic articles in daily use,
received that attention which it demands.
The first aud most importaut ste, to secure
a r form of these crying evils is undoubtedly a
proper education a scientific and practical
training in all that penning to pharmacy. We
and the entire public owe a lasting debt of gra
titude to those men who, almost half a century
ago, founded this College the first of lis kind
in the United Btates. We are similarly, in
debted to those teachers who preceded us, aud
who labored so faithfully iu conquering indif
ference, in raising the status of pharmacy la
the United Stales in geuoral and of this insti
tution in particular.
The fear has been expressed, and bints have
been thrown out, that the educated pharmacist
1b infinitely more dangerous than the one pos
sessing a less thorough knowledge and fewer
accomplishments in all that pertains to his
vocation. It is true the pharmacist of higher
attainment-, could praotice sophistications, be
could make substitutions, he could doctor up
inferior and inert druss, and Galenical prepa
rations made from the same, In such a manner
that the detection of these misdoings might
pnzzle even the scrutiny of experienced practi
cal men; yet would be do It simply because he
eandoll?
History tells ns that since the existence of the
human race the Intellectual struggle of hu
manity has been for eradicating errors, for
ascertaining truth, and for securing and in
creasing accurate knowledge, not to the scien
tific lnvesllaators alone, but to the largest pos
sible number lo all mankind. In this contest
for tbe rleht and the true and the good. phar.
macy has ever taken an aotlve part, aud has
always advocated that prohibitions and mea
sures of prevention can never be effectual
unless tbey are securely based upon thorough
education.
In conclusion. Profession Malsch addressed
his remarks to tbe graduates, saying: The
large assemblage wnicu greets you here on
your day of honor la a conclusive testimonial
of tbe interest of the publio In our profession,
and of the hleh regard In which the educated

From the Herald.
"Tbe feeling on the street at the bearlnnlmr of
business this morning was an uneasy one,
operators and brokers being more thn usually
disposed tr consult tbe signs of tbe future. Tue
condition of tbe banks to meet the crisis In
money which is expected with the advent of
the 31st Instant continued tbe subject of muon
speculation, and the feeling was not muon
altered by the bank statement of Satur
day that the 'bears' were less sanguine
of a crash, while tbe more conservative,
or roiuer tne muepenueni operators,
who fight on either side of tbe Hue, as
suits tbelr lanoy, were hopeful that ' quarter
day" would come and go without anvereat
stringency. In considering tbe influences likely
voaneci ine money mar&et ior tne next two
weeks itshould not be forgotten that many en
gagements bave been made for periods bridging
over the expected time of activity. Tbe bank
statement on Haturday showed n gain in logal-
tenaers to tne extent 01 over i,uuu,uuu a condi
tion altogether unlooked for with the
present direction of the currents for green
backs. It will be remembered that tbe
Bub Treasury received during the week about
S4.uuu.UGU irom Washington and country
depositaries. It is suggested that the
banks have exchanged national notes for
legal tenders with Mr. Van Dyck, to whom'the
former are Inst as useful in the dally disburse
ments of bis ollloe; hence the strong position
whloh tbey bave been enabled to assume In the
exhibit. In connection with tbe question of
the money market, it is known that General
Grant and Secretary Boutwell are determined
to stand between the mercantile portion ef the
com mucliy and tbe Bbylooks who wish to para
lyze trade and extort excessive rates of inturest.
In tbe previous regime the President wai
tne loot of the revenue swinaiers, wnue nis
financial Secretary was openly charged with
personal Interest in numerous speculations In
gold and bonds. The new administration has
changed all that Tbe Individual integrity of
President Grant Is tbe guarantee that
neither he nor bis Treasury officer will use
tbelr position or opportunities to gamble at
the exnense of the business men of the coun
try. Secretary Boutwell is earnestly thinking
over plans to carry out the Presidential id da of
national good faith and the popular Idea of a
lower premium on gold. There Is a balance of
over $100,000,000 of gold now in the Government
vaults, which be would like to apply in part to
the redemption 01 some 01 our oonas. cut a
dilemma meets blm at the outset. The
bonds could be purchased more cheaply with
currency than with gold, perhaps as much
as one per cent. But tbe sale of tbe gold
would withdraw cursenoy enough to produoe a
panlo In the money market, whloh would be
disastrous to many of our mercbtnts. The de
sire of Mr. Boutwell is a very commendable
one, but be should not hasten to gratify it
before the lnnux 01 currency wnion sets into
tbe city after tbe first week In April. Mean
time, if he chooses, be may put In operation
another of bis plans, tbe anticipation of the
payment 01 tne uoverument, ooupous a step
which wonld doubtless tend to realize the
popular wish for a lower premium on gold.
