Prof. , John M. Malsch then delivered the vale
dictory address, as folitows:
fib Fri/Andes-The Philadelphia College of Phar
macy,through one of its presiding officers, has Jest
conferred upon yen the highest honor which, in con
formity with the laws of our Commonwealth, it is
capable to bestow; and, having received the title of
Graduate of Fhaymacy, you formally enter this day
the Yanks. of an ancient and honorable profession, and
are recognized as members thereof. Henceforth the
standing of tie vocation of your choice, be It in regard
to its poeition in civil life, or in its strictly scientific
relations, will in a great measure be reflected pei son
allympon each of you; individually you will feel more
or lees the weal in which your profession may rejoice,
or the woe under which it may suffer. You have been
trained by a protracted apprenticeship to master the
mechanical duties of your business; yon have acquired
proficiency in compounding the medicines needed by
the sick ; you have earned to regard the national Phar
macopcent as the law book by which all pharmaceutical
preparations must be made; teeoretically and practi
cally you have been instructed in your profession and
in the sciences upon which it has been built
up; your experience and your studies have made you
familiar with the wants' of I he public; your intercourse
with customers and with physicians has taughton the
necessity of reliability and of unceasing watch fulness;
and by all this combined you have acquired a knowl
edge of the importance of pharmacy, and of its office
correlative to that of the medical profession in coin
bating disease.
Pharmacy has a long and proud record to look back
upon; we can trace its origin back to the remotest pe
riod in secular history, and, with the progress of the
human rate; it has developed itself to an importance
second! to no, other science, and to an influence
upon the welfare of the public which in most civilized
countries hats necessitated , he enactment of laws for
toe protection of the public.
Pharmacy in ancient times was chiefly confined to
the preparation or mediclues from the vegetable king
dom, the collection of roots and other parts of plants,
and to the 'preservation of their j vices and the prepara
tion of their extracts, From these circumstances the
ancient Greeks applied the names of rhizotomoi (a cor
lector Or treparer of reels) and pharmacy oleo (a
dealer in medicines.) The use of some chem i cals wag
at that time already h nown,and had beemgindonbtedly
obtained from the Egyptians, among whiM people the
prieethood monopolized all knowledge, envelopis it
with strict eecresy. and applying it as a miracle before
the astonished gaze of a credulous and ignorant
populace.
In modern science miracles cannot even find a
biding-place; The calm, scrutinizing mind searches
for the causes of all phenomena • it seeks to unravel
the mysteries in which nature i s shrouded; it en
deavors to connect proven facts by the bonds of logic,
and thus to approach that line trom whence human
eyes may be permitted to peep at some of the means
with which nature, in her quiet but unceasing abora,
produces the most wondrous results.
But what, dark times, what struggles after truth,
what errors, and, aye, what blominhed in those two
thousand years immediately preceding the foundation
of the exact sciences of the present day 1 How many
have worked faithfully to gain an insigut into the na
ture of the forces which rule the universe, and how
often in history do we meet with the persecution of
the earnert advocates of scientific research, and the
conscientious investigators of scientific facts and
laws! The philosopher's stone has not been discov
ered, and to-day we are astonished on contemplating
the immense amount of time, treasure and brains
wasted in that vain attempt. The elixir of life has
been searched for without success; nothing but the
name remains now of that desirable medicine, which
was to cure all tile, to rejuvenate the aged, and to pro
long life. The Limes of witchcraft have happily passed
by, and the victims of delusion and crime, in common
with their persecutors, sleep their long sleep in pro
found peace.
Science has extricated Itself from the fetters of those
dark nee; pharmacy, with its progenitor medicine,
snatched from the crumbling ruins and decay of the
middle ages the valuable material, and to-day we wit
ness a loity edifice,-not complete yet, for such build-
ings can only be finished when time ceases to be.
With the conquering march of the Arabs into the
southern part of Europe, the estaelishment of apothe
cat ice' shops was introduced there, and they were con
dered of such importance that in the twelfth century
already laws were enac.ed regulating the practice of
pharmacy in Naples eumewh at af.er the pattern of the
Arabian institutions. In the following two or three
centuries wo find pharmaceutical establishments, and
legal regulations governing the same, gradually ex
tending over Europe. From the last quarter of the
fifteenth century a thorough knowledge of chemis ay
was demanded from the pharmacist, and henceforth
among the principal cultivators of that science we Cud
pharmacy well represented. The direct beuefit which
pharmacy derived from the study of chemistry was
amply i aid back by giving to that science, up it the
present ea), men who at ado some of the most impor
tant tlisroyerie , , and assisted In perfecting some of the
most important principles there,f; it was due iu
great measure to the r-iltute It chemistry by patinas
teutit-ts that it leached in. prebuilt high standing.
Donee this period pharmacy necessarily e manci
pmcd itself more and more tram the supervision of
medicine, whose held of research lies hi an entirely
different region, and at the present time, in Europe,
we find moo many either recognized by legal enact
menu. to manage her own affairs, or else we witness
her struggle to completely the partly recognized
independence. NOV. Lena do we find-as it was seve
ral centuries ago-phaimary subjected to the cackl
e ve control al the medi at profession.
There are no laws regulating the practice of phar
macy tow in force in the United States ; indeed, there
are none on the entire North American continent.
A few sporadic attempts have been made, but nom va
rious cantos the hiwe have been inefficient or have be
come obsolete The absence oral] effective legislation
on tine subject renders it possible for totally Igtorant
persons, who perhaps have never devoted au hour's
time of their previous life to the study
of medicine or pharmacy, to assume
the responsible petition of physician, to open stored
for the sale of medicines and 'tie compounding of pre
scriptionst to confer upon suffer tug humanity the iu
tente gratification of payleg their money as an equiva
lent fur marvelous epecirice or cure-alls, usually mis
named patent medicines; even the sale of the most po
tent poisons has not been legally surrounded by such
safeguards which the public might expect from the
State, nor has the adulteration of drugs, or even of di
etetic articles in daily use, received that attention
which it demands.
The first aua most important step to secure a reform
of these crying evils is undoubtedly a proper educe--
tion,-a et lehlific and practical training in all that per
tains to pharmacy. We sad the entire public owe a
lasting u ebt of gautitude to those men who,alinuet half
a century ago, founded this College,-the first of its
hind in the - United States. We are similarly indebted
to those teachers who preceded us,and who labored so
faithfully in conquering indifference, in raising the
statue of pharmacy in the United States , in geuerel,and
of this institution in particular.
„ is it nut education-a sound, thorough educe.
Om,- upon which the hope may securely be rested for
subduing all Umse evils under which pharmacy still
suffers in our Union, and in the removal of which the
physician and the public at large are directly interested
to common with tauselves? The same arguments
which may be advanced in favor of the general educa
tion of all future citizens, and of the special education
aid training fr r the various trades and the different
n lentinc pursuits - tLe tame arguments also hold good
fur the disciples of ph .rmary, and the ueeirableness
-nay, the utter necessity for their appropriate educa
tion. The fear has been expressed, and hints have
been thrown out teat the educated pharmacist-be
who in capable to master ad the elfliculties which beset
hie professional pathway-is infinitely more dangerous
than the one possessing a less thorough knowledge
and fewer accomplishments in a l that pertains to his
vocation. it in true the pharmacist of higher attain.
moots could practice eophlaneations, he amid make
EubOtutii io. he could doctor up inferior Bud inter
drags. and Cialenicai preparations made from the
same, in such a manner that the dotectioa of these
tniedoinge might puzzle even' the scrutiny of
= pee /i ced, practical men; vet woad he de it simply
because he can do it it The exeenent e i penman is
canablelo imitate the handwriting of other persons,
and to do ao ander circumetauces which might result
to his pecuniary benefit; yet does it follow that tie will
do it? and would he , not now be, considered an idiot
who, to keepthern out of such temptations, would:
forbid his children to learn how to write? The accom
plished lawyer,. who knows all the intricatlea or law,
might from mercenary motives' perform deeds which
shun the light of the day, and still they might:escape
deteCtionin eontiegnence Of his cspubility,bthis su
perior knowledge, to evade direct cOnfilet with the
laws; yet, in cases of Important litigation; who would
be satisfied with second or third-rate legal advice?'who
would not try to secure the best aid, he could procure,
and entrust hie ;stolifented rights or eliems to the care
of the most accomplished counsellor? Tnephyttician,
when called upon' to minister to the sufferings of the
sick, or to lighten the last, struggles of a flickert ,, g
life, is selected not for the Mile he kesews. bat for the
Confidence which his knowledge and his skill in mire ;
and yet the accomplished physician might cover on
malpraelice'and other bad acts so that they would
almost defy detection.
The examples might be multiplied almost indefi
nitely, ehowing that lecreased knowledge and supe
rior „qualification might be used as instruments of
wickedness: and still history tells Us that since the
existence of -the human race the intellectual struggle
of humanity has been for eradicating errors, for ascer
taining truth, and for securing and increasing accurate
knowledge, not to the scientific Investigators alone,
but to the largest possible number—to all mankind.
In this contest for the right and the true and the good,
pharmacy has evr r taken an active part, and has al
ways advocated that prohibitions and measures of pre
vention can never be effectual unless they are securely
based upon thorough education.
Geutfemen Graduates: The large assemblage which
greets you here on your day of honor, is a conclusive
testimonial of the interest of the public in our profes•
aim and of the high regard In which the educated
pharmacist is held. Your pharmacial education is not
completed, but your probationary term behind the
counter, in the laboratory and in the lecture room has
been attended with such success, that in the opinion
of your teachers andduti e s ollege you may be safely en
trusted wit h all the of the pharmacist without
being subjec'ed to that unabating supervision which
was requisite during your apprenticeship. Remember,
however,that in science to remain stationary is equiv
lent to retrogression. Continue to cultivate all
branches of pharmacial seience; it will often relieve
you frem the monotony of your grave duties, and wilt
enrich with pleasure those hours of confinement to
your place of duty, when the suffering—the sick—do
not eneage your time; you will becomeproficient in
mastering difficulties and each step forward will
strengthen the resolution which your teachers hope to
have kindled in your breasts: the resolution to shun
inferiority and to rise above mediocrity.
Remember also, gentlemen, that for your knowledge
you are indebted to the investigations of many of our
cotemoraries, as well as of those who before oar time
have labored in the sphere into which you have be
come initiated: even hereafter you will frequently
have to rely upon the ob-ervation of others, and will
benefit from their experience; it becomes then a
solemn duty to posterity and a e ample debt of grati
tude to your profession that your observations be not
allowed to remain barren in your keeping alone. Tne
life of one man—nay, of an entire generation—is too
abort to exhaustively explore any field of science, and
nature is so boundless, her works so innumerable, her
processes so delicate and her forces so powerful that
here will always bermmple scope for labor to an ob
servant mind.
Is it necessary to dwell at length upon your duties
demanded by the daily routine of your basin, se? Wo
hope not. Your apprenticeship has taught them to
you practically, and during the lectures they have been
continually held - up to you. Exercise unceasing care
and practice unwearied accuracy in theirperformance;
let the quality of your drugs, the perfection of your
preparations and the correctness of your medicineo
speak for themselves. Never allow your ethical obli
gations to vanish from your eyes; discountenance
quackery in all its forms, be it, in the willful departure
from the pharmecomeia, be it in the unwarrantable
attempt to treat cases of sickness, or be it in the still
more reprehensible undertaking of lava hang upon the
unwary so-called patent medicines. Remember that
your profession has claims upon you, that your profes
sional life must be of scrupulous Integrity anatelia
bilitv. In your intercourse with the physician, respect
in him the representative of that noble profession
which devotes all energies to the healing of the etch
end to the prevention of the loss of health. We claim
the same regard for our profession.
The ties which have united us as teachers and stu
dents are about to be severed; a few days hence our
circle will probably be scattered. But we hope that,
wherever you may go, you will always cherish your
alma mater and the teachings which she has endeav
ored to inculcate. We feel sure that you will then be
cm the high road to success, not that success perhaps
which is measured by the amount of worldly treasure
t het may be amassed. but to that success which Ands
Its highest reward in the strict fulfillment of all duties
and in the high esteem of our fellow-men. Gentlemen
graduates, we fervently hope that all of you will
achieve that success.
After the delivery of the address a largo and
well executed portrait of Dr. E. Griffith, de
ceased, formerly a Professor in the College, wak
presented to the institntion by4the graduating
class. Mr. Harry B. Weymer, of Philadelphia,
made the presentation speech on behalf of the
class, and his remarke were neat and anproprl
nte. The gift was received on behalf of the Col
lege by Dr. Robert Bridges, Professor of Chem
istry.
The large number of bouquets sent to the mem
bers of the graduating class by their friends were
then distributed to those to whom they were
dire cted.
This concluded the Interesting proceedings,
and the audience separated.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT::-The office at the coil
yard of Mr. Alexander Convery, at Broad and
Cherry streets, was demolished this morning.
The switch leading into the yard was left open.
Some freight cars which were passing along
the main track were thereby turned off, and ran
against the building with much force. Mr. Con
very woe silting in his office at the time of the
accident, and woe buried in the rains. The rub-
Nth was quickly removed, and Mr. Convery was
extricated from his perilous situation. He was
severely cut and bruised, but was not danger
ously injured.
THE WEST Aacn STREET FAIR continues popu

Ron - filmy nY Bacramrs.—Some persons, sup
posed to be beggar?, entered the dwelling of Mr.
Earle, No. 857 North Fifth street, from the rear
alley, esterday afternecn. Several pieces of
silverware, valued at $3O, were stolen from a
table in the dining-room. At the time of the
robbery the occupants of the house were in the
upper part.
Dr. H. K. WHITNIRR, of Philadelphia, formerly
01 this county, has received a patent for an im
provement in bedsteads. It is a very simple
arranament. but it will prevent children from
alling dut of bed or getting the bed clothes off of
them When not in use the guard which holds
the covering down can be turned beneath the
bedstead, thus causing the bedstead to have the
appearance of an ordinary piece of furniture of
tale character. For the nee of children and
Lospttals this invention will prove invaluable.
