398  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association.    { AnAi5ust, S™' 
The  joint  meeting  was  followed  by  a  reception  to  the  members  of 
the  American  Therapeutic  Society  and  their  friends,  by  the  Pharma- 
cists of  Philadelphia.  The  committee  on  arrangements  consisted  of 
Wm.  L.  Cliffe,  A.  T.  Pollard,  H.  C.  Blair,  R.  H.  Lackey  and  O.  W. 
Osterlund,  all  of  them  actively  engaged  in  the  retail  drug  business, 
and  all  prominent  members  of  the  Philadelphia  Association  of 
Retail  Druggists. 
The  reception  was  given  in  the  Clover  Room  of  the  Bellevue- 
Stratford  Hotel,  and  was  altogether  a  most  enjoyable  and  most  suc- 
cessful affair.  Many  of  the  physicians  present  expressed  themselves 
as  being  delighted  with  the  general  arrangement  for  this  pleasant 
social  diversion,  and  the  occasion  cannot  help  but  add  force  to  the 
now  very  widespread  tendency  for  a  better  understanding  between 
the  physician  and  the  pharmacist. 
Another  of  the  more  interesting  features  of  the  meeting  was  an 
exhibition  of  U.S.P.  and  N.F.  preparations  made  by  members  of  the 
Philadelphia  Branch  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 
This  exhibition  was  critically  examined  by  a  number  of  the  mem- 
bers and  visitors  who  attended  the  several  sessions  of  the  society, 
and  the  several  articles  were  generally  commented  on  favorably 
by  all. 
•  In  addition  to  some  fifty  U.S.P.  and  National  Formulary  prepara- 
tions the  members  of  the  local  branch  also  exhibited  a  number  of  dos- 
age forms  of  compound  acetanilide  powder  and  of  phenolphthalein. 
These  dosage  forms  included  solutions,  granular  effervescent  powder, 
pills,  capsules,  tablet  triturates,  compressed  tablets,  lozenges  and 
paper  cachets,  all  made  by  the  ordinary  pharmacist.  The  suggest- 
iveness  of  this  particular  portion  of  the  exhibition  was  much  appre- 
ciated and  liberally  commented  on  by  a  number  of  medical  men 
who  were  present.  M.  I.  W.
