"I don't understand," said the Gamecock reporter. "Do you mean that you make experiments on yourselves? Suppose they don't work!" The pharmacy student laughed. "Oh, we don't do anything dras tic. We just take various prescrip tions and medicines to see their re actions on the human body." The first thing a freshman in the school of pharmacy does is measure cork stoppers, learn how to bend glass, and how to place correctly labels on bottles. From this he goes on through months of study until he is able to fill pre scriptions. The pharmacy student learns to make products like those on the market, such as finger nail polish, lipstick, face powder, perfume, and other cosmetics. He can make an tiseptics like those on the market and milk of magnesia. Rabbits are used for experimen tation. They are given certain sub stances that cause dialation of the pupils of the eyes, for the student's observation.
