A circular has been issued by the Societe de Prevoyance of Pharmaceutists of the 
Department of the Seine, in the hope of establishing a general Congress, to be held at 
the Conservatoire Imperial des Arts et Metiers, Paris, on July 4, 5, and 6. The mem¬ 
bers of the Executive Committee consider that a few selected delegates, as proposed by 
the International Congress (August) will not represent the general interests of Phar¬ 
macy, and therefore they specially urge the attendance of all those interested in the 
subject. Discussion will be confined exclusively to the Practice of Pharmacy. Many 
English Pharmaceutists will probably be in Paris at this date to witness the distribution 
of the Exhibition prizes by the Emperor, and such visitors are specially invited.
