FIFTY-FIFTH  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE  AMERICAN 
PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
By  Florence  Yapi,e. 
The  fifty-fifth  annual  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  was  held  in  New  York  City,  September  2d  to  7th,  the 
Hotel  Astor,  Times  Square,  being  the  headquarters  of  the  asso- 
ciation. 
For  various  reasons  it  was  anticipated  that  the  meeting  would  be 
of  more  than  ordinary  interest,  as  the  holding  of  the  convention  in 
the  metropolis,  with  all  of  its  attractions,  after  a  lapse  of  forty 
years ;  the  important  subjects  to  be  brought  up  for  discussion, 
including  the  educational  problem  in  pharmacy;  the  relation  of  the 
pharmaceutical  and  medical  professions,  or,  perhaps  more  properly, 
the  relation  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the  American
