“ We cannot close this report without expressing our great satisfaction at the excellent 
management and conduct throughout of the business of the Congress, and especially

guage. 
‘‘To the Viennese Pharmaciens our personal thanks are eminently due for the hearty 
welcome accorded us, and the forethought displayed in the arrangements for the enter¬ 
tainment of their guests; and most successful were they in making a visit to their Im¬ 
perial city an excessively pleasurable and enjoyable one. 
“We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, 
“ Your most obedient servants,

present, but that any portion of the proceedings which the Council shall declare to be 
unsuited for publication, shall not be reported.
