The Costvention of 1852. —The following call to the Convention about 
to meet in this city is introduced, notwithstanding the few days that will 
elapse before the meeting to which it points : 
11 Notice — The annual meeting of the U. S. Pharmaceutical Convention 
will take place in Philadelphia, on Wednesday, the 6th of October, 1852. 
It being a matter of much importance that this meeting should number as 
many of our Druggists and Chemists as possible, I deem it proper to suggest 
that not only all regularly incorporated and unincorporated associations of 
this kind should see that they are fully represented, but that where no asso- 
ciations exist as yet, the apothecaries should send one or more of their num- 
ber as delegates to the Convention, — such will, no doubt, be cheerfully ad- 
mitted to seats in the Covention. 
We trust all who feel an interest in this important subject, will remember 
the time and place, and give us their assistance in person or by delegate. 
C.B. Guthrie, President of Convention.'' 
The following resolutions have been passed by the Board of Trustees of 
the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, Sept. 20th. 
" Resolved, That the hall of this College be placed at the disposal of the 
Pharmaceutical Convention about to assemble in this city during the time 
they may need it. 
Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to make arrangements 
for the convenience and comfort of the members of the Convention whilst 
they are in session." 
The Committee of Arrangement consists of Win. Procter, Jr., Alfred B. 
Taylor, and Edward Parrish, to whom members of the Convention desiring 
information are invited to apply. 
The Hall of the College is in Zane street above Seventh, a central loca- 
tion, and well fitted for the purpose. As no hour was set in the minute 
of adjournment last year, it is proposed that the time shall be four o'clock 
P. M., on the 6th of October, which will admit of our New York and Bal- 
timore friends leaving home in the morning. As there will have to be 
a preliminary meeting of delegates only, the full sittings will probably 
commence on the morning of the 7th, when the consideration of the im- 
portant subjects of future organization, Pharmaceutical Education, Phar- 
maceutical Ethics, and the means for the advancement of pharmaceutical 
science, will come before it.
