NOTABLE  PHARMACEUTICAL,  GATHERINGS  DURING  AUGUST. 
The  month  of  August,  this  year,  will  witness  the  assembling  of  a  larger  num- 
ber of  pharmacists  in  various  parts  of  the  world  than  is  usual  during  so  short  a 
time. 
Early  in  the  month  will  be  the  British  Pharmaceutical  Conference  at  Glasgow, 
Scotland.  This  body  is  noted  for  the  large  amount  of  scientific  work  it  can 
accomplish  in  a  short  time.  The  Eighth  International  Pharmaceutical  Con- 
gress will  follow,  at  Brussels,  Belgium,  on  the  14th.  The  scope  of  this  assembly 
was  sufficiently  set  forth  in  the  March  number  of  this  Journal,  page  i6r. 
The  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  has  appointed  the  following  dele- 
gates :  Prof.  Joseph  P.  Remington,  of  Philadelphia,  and  Mr.  Louis  Dohme, 
of  Baltimore,  with  Dr.  Frederick  B.  Power,  of  London,  and  Mr.  Adolph  Meyer, 
of  New  Orleans,  as  alternates. 
Of  the  associations  not  strictly  pharmaceutical,  we  will  have  the  meeting  of 
the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science,  at  Detroit,  on  the 
9th  ;  that  of  the  American  Chemical  Society  at  the  same  place  during  the  same 
week  ;  and  on  the  19th  the  Twelfth  International  Medical  Congress,  at  Moscow, 
Russia.  This  last  has  issued  a  formidable  programme  of  71  pages,in  the  French 
language,  and  containing  some  hundreds  of  titles  of  papers  to  be  presented  from 
physicians  and  others,  from  all  over  the  world.  If  1  per  cent,  of  the  promises 
should  be  redeemed,  it  would  still  scarcely  be  possible  to  have  them  all  read 
during  the  eight  days  that  the  fifteen  sections  of  the  Congress  will  be  in 
session.  In  addition  to  the  papers,  ten  addresses  have  been  promised  ;  these  are 
to  be  delivered  before  the  general  assembly. 
Returning  to  the  strictly  pharmaceutical  meetings,  we  will  have  that  of  the  * 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  at  Lake  Minnetonka,  Minn.,  from  the 
24th  to  the  31st,  inclusive.    The  following  programme  has  been  adopted  by  the
