COMPLIMENTABY DINNEB. 
On Thursday evening, August 19th, the chemists of Exeter gave a dinner 
to their visitors at the London Hotel. Mr. G. Cooper occupied the chair, 
and Mr. Palk the vice-chair. The entertainment was well adapted to give 
the visitors a most favourable impression of the hospitality of the citizens of 
Exeter. After the usual loyal toasts, 
The Chairman called upon the assembled guests to drink “ Success to the 
British Pharmaceutical Conference,” and, in associating with the toast the 
name of Mr. Daniel Hanbury, he gracefully commented on the services which 
that gentleman had rendered to pharmacy. 
Mr. Hanbury responded, and likened the Conference to a snowball, which 
grew larger, and became more firmly consolidated as it progressed. He an¬ 
nounced that Mr. Hills had presented to the Conference the handsome sum 
of fifty guineas, of which ten guineas would be applied to the purchase of 
books for the chemists’ library in Exeter, and that he had further promised 
to place in the room where the local meetings were held proof plates of the 
portraits of Jacob Bell and William Allen. Mr. Hanbury concluded by 
proposing the health of Mr. Hills. 
Mr. Hills, in returning thanks for the compliment paid him, said that he 
had often felt the want of books when young, and that he hoped that his pro¬ 
posed application of his contribution would pleasantly remind the young men 
of Exeter and other towns of the visits of the Conference. What he wished 
to do was to promote, by all the means he could command, the objects tor 
which his lamented friend Jacob Bell had so strenuously laboured. 
The toast of “ The Officers of the Society ” was responded to by Mr.
