RHYTHM IN MY LECTURE NOTES (Parody lo Rhythm in My Nursery Rhymes) 1 could learn my U. S. P. N. F. ana Dispensary A good Pharmacist 1 d be, lr 1 Had Rhythm in my Lecture Notes. Ma and Pa, they sent me here Now I don t think that it was lair But 1 could learn to grin and tear, lr 1 had Rhythm in my Lecture Notes. N. N. R. won t get me far Lately 1 ve heen thinking But if I had a little bit of rhythm, 1 could be a Rusby, or an Amy.

CHEMISTRY A knowledge of chemistry is indispensible to trie practicing pharmacist. For one thing, it enables him to understand the reac- tions that take place in the manufacture of official preparations and in the testing of these preparations according to the methods of the U. S. P. and N. r. Then again in dispensing prescriptions a knowl- edge of chemistry will enable the pharmacist to recognize and avert many of the incompatibilities which often confront him. In this College the theoretical lectures in inorganic and organic chemistry constitute an important part of the study. Supplementing PKOK A. TALB these lectures are the laboratory courses in qualitative and quanti- tative analysis, applied pharmaceutical analysis and organic synthesis. Qualitative chemi- cal analysis concerns itself with the identification of the constituents present in a mixture. Quantitative analysis provides for the determination of the amount of constituent present and is based upon a study of gravimetric and volumetric methods of procedure. The application of the above principles in the determination of the purity and quality of the official chemicals, drugs and preparations in the U. S. P. constitutes the work in applied pharmaceutical analysis. The synthesis of organic compounds in organic chemistry laboratory has a twofold purpose. First, to acquaint the students in general with the more important organic theories and reactions through the manufacture of certain compounds: second, to fam- iliarize those students whose interests extend beyond retail pharmacy with the equipment and technique of the modern research laboratory.
