of  the  United  States  of  America.  Every  incorporated  medical  or  pharma- 
ceutical college,  association  or  society,  desiring  to  be  represented  in  the  Con- 
vention, is  requested  to  send  its  corporate  title  and  a  list  of  its  officers  and 
delegates  to  Dr.  Robert  Amory,  President  of  the  Convention  of  1880,  care  of 
Dr.  Edwin  H.  Brigham,  Assistant  Librarian  of  the  Boston  Medical  Library,  19 
Boylston  Place,  Boston,  Mass.,  in  order  that  a  list  of  the  bodies  to  be  repre- 
sented may  be  published  as  directed  by  the  Convention  of  1880. 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association. — In  the  March  and  April  numbers  we 
published  a  brief  account  of  the  traveling  arrangements  made  from  St.  Louis 
and  from  eastern  points.  We  have  since  learned  that  the  members  and 
their  friends  may  join  either  party  by  purchasing  from  their  station  round- 
trip  tickets,  whichare  good  for  six  months  with  stop-over  privilege  wherever 
desired,  and  with  the  privilege  of  returning  by  any  of  the  transcontinental 
lines,  terminating  in  San  Francisco,  without  additional  charge.  Returning 
by  way  of  Oregon  will  cost  $15  additional  for  the  trip  from  San  Francisco  to 
Portland. 
In  these  respects  the  two  excursions  planned  are  identical  in  cost.  The 
differences  may  be  summed  up  as  follows : 
The  route  of  the  western  excursion  is  through  Kansas  to  Denver ;  thence 
to  Georgetown,  etc.,  return  to  Denver ;  thence  to  Salt  Lake  City  and  west- 
ward. The  eastern  excursion  will  pass  through  Nebraska  to  Denver,  thence 
to  Manitou,  Pueblo,  and  through  the  heart  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  to  Salt 
Lake  City,  and  from  there  westward. 
The  western  excursion  charges  in  addition  to  the  fare  a  certain  sum 
which  includes  sleeping  car  and  hotel  accommodations,  meals  and  other 
necessary  expenses  on  the  trip  from  the  Missouri  river  to  San  Francisco. 
The  eastern  excursion  has  identical  expenses  for  railroad  fare  and  sleepers, 
to  which  must  be  added  cost  of  meals  and  hotels  en  route,  which  may  be 
moderate  or  extravagant,  according  to  individual  taste. 
That  the  northern  route  will  be  preferable  for  the  return  trip  in  July,  we 
think,  will  be  readily  conceded. 
Circulars  giving  full  details  may  be  obtained  by  addressing  Dr.  E.  Sander, 
129  South  Eleventh  street,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  Prof.  Emlen  Painter,  Broad- 
way and  Thirty-fourth  street,  New  York. 
The  meeting  will  be  held  in  Odd  Fellows  Hall,  where  also  a  hall  has  been 
secured  for  exhibition  purposes.  The  headquarters  will  be  at  the  Palace  Hotel ; 
the  rates  are  $2.50  for  inside  rooms  with;board,  and  front  rooms  at  a  mod- 
erate advance.  Further  particulars  will  be  given  in  the  Secretary's  circular. 
Eucalyptus  Honey. — The  Australian  Journal  of  Pharmacy  for  February, 
1889,  contains  the  following : 
Eucalyptus  Honey. — This  is  the  latest  Australian  fraud.  The  preparation 
is  said  to  be  the  natural  product  of  the  eucalyptus  tree  as  gathered  by  the 
wild  bees  of  Australia,  and  is  reputed  to  be  of  great  medicinal  value.  We 
have  examined  a  sample  of  this  mysterious  product,  and  have  no  hesitation 
in  declaring  that  it  is  a  mechanical  mixture  of  leaf  eucalyptus  oil  with 
ordinary  honey.    *   *   *    It  is  impossible  to  say  what  is  the  exact  nature
