BRISTOL PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 
The Annual Meeting of this Association was held on 
Thursday, July 20th ; Mr. Stole art, President, i:i the 
chair. 
After some routine business, the Hon. Secretary, Mr. 
Sciiaciit, read the following Report of the Council:— 
“ The Council of the Bristol Pharmaceutical Associa¬ 
tion have great pleasure in presenting to the members 
their Second Annual Report. The 10th rule of the 
Association indicates the chief duty of the Council to 
lie in two directions of work,—lstly. The provision of 
the best means at their disposal for the systematic teach¬ 
ing of the sciences connected with their calling; and, 
2nd!y. The keeping alive, by a scries of appropriate 
evening gatherings, the general interest of the members 
in the prime object of the Association, ‘the progress of 
scientific pharmacy.’ 
“ With regard to the latter portion of these duties, 
the Council have to report that the past session in no 
way fell short of the excellence reached by its prede¬ 
cessor. Through the kindness of the President, Mr. 
Stoddart, Mr. Coomber, Mr. Leipner, Mr. Lant Carpen¬ 
ter, and Dr. Tilden, the monthly evening meetings 
were rendered highly attractive, and good attendances 
gave evidence of the estimation in which these gentle¬ 
men’s efforts were held. They have well earned the 
gratitude of the entire Association, and have deserved 
its warmest thanks. 
“ Had the practical papers from the general body of 
the members on the occasions set apart for the purpose 
been a little more numerous, the Council would have 
had unmixed pleasure in congratulating the Association 
upon this portion of its operations. Unfortunately they 
received but very few, and are compelled to refer to the 
subject in the hope that this deficiency may be made 
good in future sessions. 
“ With regard to the other portion of their duties, the 
Council have to report that their arrangements were the 
same as were made in the previous year. Full courses 
of lectures upon each of the two departments of chemis¬ 
try and of botany were delivered by the respective pro¬ 
fessors of these sciences, Mr. Coomber and Sir. Leipner, 
and they were well attended. For the lectures on che¬ 
mistry twenty-three of bur associates entered. Of these, 
ton went in for the Government examinations in May. 
In one division of the subject five passed, all in the first 
class; and in the other division, one passed in the first 
class and three in the second. 
“For the lectures on botany fourteen associates 
entered. Of these, eight went in for the examinations. 
In one division of the subject two passed in the first 
class, and three in the second ; and in the other division 
five passed, all in the second class.
