The Supper. 
At ten o’clock about forty of the members sat clown to supper at the Acorn 
Hotel, and thus pleasantly terminated a meeting which was considered by

motion of that good feeling, friendship, and mutual respect which should 
ever exist among those following the trade and profession of pharmacy.
