The  convention  met  at  Philadelphia,  October  6,  1852,  in  compli- 
ance with  the  above  resolution,  and  on  October  7th  adopted  a  consti- 
tution and  code  of  ethics.  The  earlier  proceedings  contained  less 
than  fifty  pages,  and  are  interesting  in  a  number  of  respects.  Among 
other  things,  two  prizes  were  offered  consisting  (1)  of  twenty-three 
volumes  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  and  (2)  six 
volumes  of  Gmelin's  Handbook  of  Chemistry. 
The  Association  has  grown  to  a  membership  of  more  than  1,200, 
publishes  an  annual  volume  of  more  that  1,000  pages,  has  a  life 
membership  fund  of  more  than  $12,000,  a  centennial  fund  of  over 
$1,200,  the  interest  of  which  is  "used  for  defraying  the  expenses 
incurred  in  conducting  original  investigations  in  pharmacy  or  an 
allied  science,"  and  offers  eight  prizes  for  original  investigations  and 
papers. 
The  meeting  in  September  promises  much  for  pharmacy  and 
pharmacists.  All  those  interested  in  pharmacy  and  who  can  pos- 
sibly arrange  to  attend  should  be  present.  The  following  pharmacists
