TRANSACTIONS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY. 
represent the expression of the views of the members. Every Pharmaceutical 
Union legally acknowledged by the Government of its respective country, is 
permitted to send deputies from among its members to the Congress ; but also 
deputies of all the Pharmaceutical Unions of the world are entitled to appear in 
the Congress, and to partake in the consultations. 
Although the number of partakers in the Congress is unlimited, yet a certain 
uniformity is to be observed in voting. Every State in Europe in which there 
are Pharmaceutical Unions, is permitted to delegate three deputies, who have a 
claim to voting. Thus, Northern and Southern Germany, Austria, Russia, 
France, England, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, etc., can send three deputies 
each, who have the right of voting. One member of the Congress can represent 
one country only, so that countries not sending any deputies cannot give their 
votes. In order to avoid misunderstanding and trouble, every deputy before re¬ 
ceiving a card of admittance has to deliver up a written certificate, which certi¬ 
fies him as a representative of the Union of his country. 
In the first meeting a president and vice-president will be chosen for the di¬ 
rection of the consultations, likewise three secretaries for drawing up the proto¬ 
cols ; the functions of the latter will continue during the time of the Congress, 
and it will be their duty to compose the reports of the sessions. 
In the same meeting a committee is to be chosen for each of the questions 
which are to be decided, and it has to prepare the objects of discussion for the 
meeting. 
lo the sessions of the different committees, which have to choose among 
themselves a chairman, only members of the same will have admittance. 
I he consultations are to be carried on generally in the German language, but 
speeches may be made as well in the English and French languages. 
I he local preparations for the Congress will be managed by a committee of 
Brunswick colleagues; for any particular wish, application is to be made to 
u Herrn Director Herzog, at Brunswick.” Propositions in reference to the 
consultations are to be addressed to the Directors of the Southern and Northern 
Apothecary Union (for addresses see below). 
Invitation to join the International Congress. 
No field of science and art is so much in need of a uniform and consonant 
treatment as that of Pharmacy. Differences in this field but too often endanger 
life and health. All the true professors of Pharmacy will therefore shun no 
sacrifice, in order that the Congress may be called into life, which the above 
programme aims at, and the purpose of which is to abolish any baneful evils 
existing in the Pharmaceutical calling. We urgently invite our honoured col¬ 
leagues in the east and west, north and south, to join in this undertaking, both 
in the interest of “ suffering humanity ” and in the interest of our art and 
science. 
The General Assembly of the Apothecaries’ Union in Northern Germany will 
be followed by the International Congress, and afterwards, from the 18th to 
the 24th of September, a meeting of the German Naturalists and Physicians 
will take place at Hanover.
