Excerpt from Journal, Vol. 1: Of the Philadelphia College of Pharmaccy
In presenting to the public the fourth and last number of the first volume of our Journal, we cannot omit the opportunity it furnishes for expressing our gratification for the encouragement afforded us. The work was commenced under discouraging circumstances: - a previous attempt had been made to publish a journal under the auspices of the college, devoted to pharmaceutical subjects, which failed from a defect in its plan. We were therefore far from being sanguine of success; but the assistance derived from various sources, and the zeal, interest and liberality displayed by the members of the college, have combined to sustain in its infancy the only Journal of Pharmacy in the United States. Our members are beginning to feel and appreciate the influence which such a work may exercise on the reputation of their college, and the general prosperity of their profession. And we only ask a continuance of the same generosity and hearty support to enable us to redeem our pledge to them and the public. We would invite every member to feel himself personally interested in the success of this enterprise, and whenever his business may call him abroad, to remember that he has it in his power to advance the prospects of the Journal, and promote the objects for which the college was instituted, by calling the attention and obtaining the pecuniary support of every druggist with whom he may have business. To our distant subscribers we would observe that promptness in their remittances is absolutely essential to enable us to comply with our engagements.
