BRITISH PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE. 
L07 
second meeting, the annual list of subjects for investigation was compiled, a 
copy being subsequently sent to every member. The proposal of the Notting¬ 
ham Local Committee to hold an exhibition of objects relating to pharmacy 
during the week of the annual meeting in that town, was at the same time care* 
fully considered and approved, arrangements for carrying out the same under 
the auspices of the Conference being cordially adopted. 
“ During the past year death has removed three members from our roll, 
men whose names are well known to all interested in progressive pharmacy, 
Mr. VV.Southall, of Birmingham; Mr. T. B. Teasdale, of Darlington; and Mr.H. 
Booth, of E-ochdale. 
“The total number of members of the Conference for the year 1865-66 was 
305 ; it is now nearly 400. 
“The Executive Committee cannot but congratulate the members on the 
rapid and successful progress which the Conference has made. Whether we 
look to the many and important papers which have been read at its two annual 
meetings, to the brotherly feeling and co-operation which have been developed 
among those attending the gatherings, or to the good local influence which its 
yearly celebration has produced, we see evidence of the soundness of its consti¬ 
tution, and tangible proofs of its healthy prosperity. 
“ And now, having established the Conference on so firm a foundation, and 
looking with pleasure and satisfaction on the many names of known workers 
which its register includes, we would appeal to all members to canvass the pro¬ 
fessional brethren of their own or other towns with the special object of largely 
increasing our number. The formation of exhibitions similar to that which is 
so prominent a feature of the present meeting is but one means of aiding the ad¬ 
vancement of pharmacy, which might be adopted by your executive, were more 
subscriptions at their disposal. The Committee trust that this method of 
widening the basis of operation without altering the character of the Conference 
will receive the individual attention of the members.” 
The financial position of the Conference was then laid before the meeting.
