BRITISH PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE. 
FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING.—1867. 
The following letter has been forwarded to the members of the British Phar¬ 
maceutical Conference, and we are glad to hear that a very pleasant meeting is 
anticipated:— 
“Sir, —The meeting for the present year will be held at Dundee, at the 
Ward Chapel Meeting Rooms, Ward Road, under the presidency of Professor 
Bentley, F.L.S. It will commence on Tuesday, the 3rd of September, at 
10 a. m. After the usual preliminary business, the president will deliver an 
address : the reading and discussion of papers on pharmaceutical subjects will 
then commence, be continued in the afternoon till 4.30, and be carried on 
during Wednesday; an adjournment from 12.30 till 2.0 taking place each 
day. On Thursday the Dundee chemists invite the non-resident members 
of the Conference to a picnic at Craighall, a romantic spot near Blairgowrie, 
twenty-two miles north of Dundee ; to an inspection of Glammis Castle and 
grounds in returning from the excursion; and to a supper at Dundee in the 
evening. 
“ The head-quarters of the Conference will be at the Dundee Arms Hotel, 
7, Crighton Street, which has, by the kind thoughtfulness of the local com¬ 
mittee, been engaged for the sole use of the members of the Conference. Here 
all will have the opportunity of fraternizing, dining, etc., and sleeping. The 
comfort, economy, and pleasure of all would be greatly promoted if every 
member who intends visiting Dundee would undertake to stay at this hotel,— 
communicating his intention as soon as possible to the local secretary, Mr. 
Hodge, 249, Overgate, Dundee. The arrangements for the excursion would 
also be much facilitated by an early acceptance of the invitation, addressed to 
the local secretary. 
“ The neighbourhood of Dundee affords several points of interest to strangers, 
but the presence in the town of the members of the British Association for the 
Advancement of (Science from the 4th to the 11th of September will render a 
visit to Dundee at this time more pleasant than usual. 
“ If you are engaged upon any investigation, we may remind you that papers 
are expected to be sent in to the secretaries at least fourteen days before the 
annual meeting, accompanied by a short abstract for insertion in the local and 
other newspapers. 
“ Should you be disposed to accept any of the unaccepted subjects suggested 
for investigation in the list sent to you in the early part of the year ; work on 
any subject suggested by yourself ; propose any subject for investigation by 
others ; forward for analysis specimens of drugs and chemicals whose examina¬ 
tion might tend to throw light on the question of adulterations and impurities ; 
propose the recognition of any pharmaceutical association and reception of its 
delegates by the Conference ; or make any suggestions or propositions;—we 
shall be glad to receive and announce the same at the meeting. 
“ In addition to the ways just mentioned of aiding the great design of the Con¬ 
ference,—the advancement of Pharmacy,—we trust you will be able to send us 
the names of gentlemen whom you may desire to propose as members. Every 
chemist and druggist is obviously concerned in the progress of pharmacy, and 
should therefore join this Association, even if only for the aid afforded by his 
annual subscription. A form of application for membership is annexed, which
