R. Stevenson, Mr. Seath, Mr. Gardner, Mr. Young, Mr. G. Blanshard, Mr. McDonald,

After a first-class supper had been served by Mr. Grieve, 
The Chairman, in neat and appropriate terms, gave the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, 
which were cordially responded to by the company. 
The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, “The Pharmaceutical Society,” 
said the Society had done much to bring chemists and druggists together, to make them 
known to each other, show them that they had a common interest, and that they should 
have a common object and bond of union. The aim of the association had ever been 
the advancement and elevation of pharmacy, and the improvement of the condition of 
those who were engaged in it as a profession. He was sure they all wished continued 
success and prosperity to the Pharmaceutical Society. (Applause.) He remarked that 
the Society would not have been true to itself, true to its history, true to the well-known 
objects which its great and illustrious founder designed it to accomplish, if it had not 
brought in such a Bill as that which was now before Parliament. (Applause.) One of 
the results of that Bill, if passed, would be to see that chemists and druggists were 
properly qualified for their professions before they were admitted to it,—a result that 
could not fail to do good. (Applause.)

trates, and Town Council of Edinburgh,” by the Chairman, and replied to by Bailie
