AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSO= 

 CIATION.

 be held at the Battery Park Hotel, 

 Asheville, N. C, the first session open- 

 ing on Monday, vSeptember 3, 1894. at 10 

 o'clock A. M. 



Two years ago the A. P. A. met among 

 the rugged mountains of New Hamp- 

 shire ; this year you are called to meet 

 among the verdure clad and far more 

 beautiful mountains of the Blue Ridge, in 

 the "Land of the Sky." It is earnestly 

 hoped that as many as can possibly do 

 so will arrive on Saturday and Sunday, 

 September ist and 2d, as the trains all 

 arrive during the afternoon and evening, 

 so that those delaying their arrival until 

 Monday will lose the greater part of the 

 day. 



The train from Salisbury, Washington 

 and the North is due in Asheville at 4 

 P. M., that from Atlanta and the South 

 at II P. M., and that from Knoxville, 

 Cincinnati and the "West at 2 P. M. Pas- 

 sengers from the West can also come by 

 way of Atlanta, arriving at 11 P. M. A 

 committee will meet all visitors at the 

 trains and assist them in procuring such 

 accommodations as they desire. The 

 Battery Park Hotel, (the official meeting 

 place of the Association) will accomodate 

 all delegates, members and friends at the 

 special rate of $2.50 per day, two in a 

 room. The other hotels, all first class in 

 every respect and pleasantly located are. 

 The Berkeley, $2.00 to $3.00 per day ; 

 The Swannanoa, $2.00 to 2.50 per day ; 

 The Oakland Heights, $2.50 per day ; 

 Kenilworth Inn, . There are also nu- 

 merous first-class boarding houses with 

 rates from $1.00 to $2.00 per daj^ 



On Monda}^ evening at 8.30 the citizens 

 of Asheville will tender their visitors a 

 reception and promenade at the Battery 

 Park Hotel, and on Tuesday evening a 

 literary and musical entertainment will 



be given in the hotel ball room. Wed- 

 nesday afternoon will be devoted to a 

 carriage ride to Vanderbilt's. Friday 

 afternoon, September 7th, will be de- 

 voted to an excursion by special train to 

 Hot Springs. Leaving Asheville, the 

 train follows for thirty miles along the 

 beautiful banks of the French Broad, be- 

 tween steep and precipitous hills that 

 finally shut off all view. 



At Hot Springs a lunch will be served 

 and several hours spent in viewing the 

 hotel and grounds, and the celebrated 

 baths which are famed the world over 

 for their curative powers. 



Returning to Asheville in the early 

 evening, the visitors will be in time for 

 a late supper at their hotel. The com- 

 mittee trust that the programme which 

 they have mapped out, will be one which 

 will be enjoyed by all, and one which 

 will give the greatest amount of pleasure 

 with the least amount of exertion. We 

 confidently expect a large meeting and 

 an enjoyable one. Our citizens are all 

 anxious and willing to do everything in 

 their power to make your stay here 

 pleasant, and we most earnestly urge you 

 to come and see a countrj'- that is "God's 

 Country," a country that nature has 

 done much for, both in the way of scenery 

 and climatic condition. 



It is very important that we should 

 know at as early a date as possible, just 

 who are coming, and how many in each 

 individual party, that we may arrange for 

 accommodations with which all will be 

 satisfied, and particularly is this most 

 important as regards date of arrival in 

 Asheville, and if rooms are desired at the 

 Battery Park Hotel. •
