NOVEMBER  AND  DECEMBER  MEETINGS. 
The  stated  meeting  for  November  of  the  Philadelphia  Branch  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  was  held  on  the  evening 
of  Tuesday,  November  6,  1906,  in  the  College  of  Physicians,  and 
was  devoted  to  a  discussion  on  "  The  Work  of  the  Council  on  Phar-

The  meeting  was  attended  by  some  forty  members  and  visitors, 
all  of  whom  manifested  a  keen  interest  in  the  subject  matter  under 
discussion. 
Before  taking  up  the  scientific  business  of  the  evening  an  election 
for  a  member  of  the  Council  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso-

the  representative  of  the  branch  in  the  Council  of  the  Association. 
The  first  paper  that  was  presented,  that  by  Prof.  S.  P.  Sadtler,

inauguration,  or  founding,  of  the  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chem- 
istry by  the  Trustees  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  also 
outlined  in  a  general  way  the  methods  that  had  been  pursued  and 
the  objects  that  were  sought  to  be  attained  (p.  22).
