BRITISH PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE. 
MEETING AT DUNDEE, 1867. 
On Tuesday, September 3rd, at 10 a.m., the sittings of the British Pharma¬ 
ceutical Conference were commenced in Dundee,—the place of meeting being 
the Ward Chapel Booms,—under the presidency of B. Bentley, Esq., F.L.S., 
M.B.C.S., Professor of Botany in King’s College, London, and Professor of 
Materia Medica and Botany to the Pharmaceutical Society. The meeting- room 
was very comfortably and tastefully fitted up. Two large tables were arranged 
in front of the platform, and covered with specimens of rare drugs and chemi¬ 
cals. The walls were hung with crimson cloth, on which were arranged a large 
number of photographs. Prominent amongst these was a coloured full-length 
photograph by Mr. Rodger, Nethergate; two groups of the medical men of Dun¬ 
dee, by Mr. Valentine ; a number of excellent cabinet portraits, by Mr. Abbott; 
and some chalk drawings by Mr. Low. Much credit is certainly due to the 
Local Committee for their very complete arrangements. The attendance at this 
and the subsequent meetings was large, including the following:—Professors 
Bentley and Attfield, Messrs. Deane, D. Hanbury, J. C. Brough, Andrews, W.
