Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. — We  have 
devoted  more  than  usual  space  to  the  proceedings  of  this  body,  which  are 
of  much  interest,  and,  though  much  more  meagre  than  the  official  report 
yet  to  be  published,  will  be  found  to  embrace  most  of  the  leading  points 
of  the  meeting.  The  membership  was  largely  increased,  and  the  attend- 
ance larger  than  usual.  The  Chicago  members  were  exceedingly  attentive, 
and  rendered  the  stay  of  members  very  pleasant.  Among  other  attrac- 
tions was  an  exhibition  of  microscopes  at  the  Academy  of  Sciences.  This 
was  a  rare  treat ;  about  fifty  instruments  of  all  grades  and  kinds  were  well 
supplied  with  objects,  and  members  attended  to  exhibit  and  explain  them 
when  needed.  The  amount  of  labor  involved  in  the  preparation  of  the 
objects  exhibited  was  very  great,  and  many  of  the  visitors  doubtless  did 
not  appreciate  this,  yet  all  seemed  gratified.  The  gas  was  arranged  in  an 
admirable  way,  giving  abundant  light  in  the  right  place.  Organic  structure 
of  various  kinds,  diatoms,  and  portions  of  living  flowers,  were  included  in 
the  specimens.  On  Friday  afternoon  a  steamboat  excursion  on  Lake 
Michigan  was  taken,  which  gave  the  visitors  an  opportunity  to  see  that 
fine  body  of  water  and  the  city  front.  On  Thursday  morning  the  mem- 
bers met  at  Dearborn  Park,  to  enable  Mr.  John  Carbutt  to  take  a  phot(|f- 
graphic  group  of  the  members. 
Exhibition  of  Chemicals  and  Pharmaceuticals  Coincident  with  the 
Chicago  Meeting. — The  exhibition  of  specimens,  apparatus,  etc.,  at  the 
17th  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  was 
one  of  the  most  attractive  features  of  the  occasion,  and  reflects  great 
credit  on  Mr.  James  W.  Mill,  Chairman  of  the  Local  Committee  having 
it  in  charge,  as  well  as  upon  the  Local  Secretary,  H.  W.  Fuller. 
The  exhibition  was  held  in  a  hall  adjoining  that  in  which  the  Associa- 
tion met  and  very  well  adapted  to  the  purpose.  It  consisted  of  crude 
drugs,  chemicals,  pharmaceutical  preparations,  glassware  and  apparatus. 
Crude  Drugs. — Drugs  constituted  a  new  and  decidedly  important  fea-
