Abstract

The configuration of epiphyseal lines in the growing mammal is extremely variable depending upon the principal stresses applied to the specific epiphysis in question. Because man is not highly specialized for rapid locomotion, the configuration of epiphysis in the human is not as well developed as that seen in animals specialized for rapid running, such as the artiodactyls. The several different typical configurations of the epiphyseal line are described and demonstrated in photographs using the deformed coordinate method. It is suggested that when coupling of porous structures, such as ceramics to bone, has been adequately worked out, configurations similar to those seen in the epiphyseal lines may be a successful method of attaching the prosthetic part to bone.

Committee reports. Report on patent law revision**The evidence in support of the Preambles and Resolutions and suggested additions to the copyright, patent and trade-mark laws contained in the first part of our report was not published in the May Journal owing to want of space. I am now sending you the remaining part of the report, by request, as it is considered quite necessary for the members of the Association to have in their hands before the next annual meeting, the entire document for consideration and study. It is believed that this will decidedly facilitate matters and save much time at the annual meeting which otherwise might be used up in unnecessary discussion of the subject.Your Committee wishes to again emphasize that fact that we have no desire to impose our personal views on the Association. The copyright and patent laws were designed to promote progress in science and the useful arts and the trade-mark laws to protect the public from fraud and imposition. It is generally conceded that the laws as now interpreted and applied fall short in accomplishing their purpose. It is therefore incumbent upon the A. Ph. A., representing the pharmacists of America, to suggest proper modifications of the law, of such kind as to secure the very important objects for which they were enacted.—F. E. Stewarcth, Chairman.
