ANNOUNCEMENT. 
The  Twenty-sixth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
will  be  held  in  the  City  of  Atlanta,  Georgia,  during  the  last  week  in  November, 
beginning  on  Tuesday,  the  26th,  at  3  P.  M. 
In  consequence  of  the  general  alarm  produced  by  the  rapid  spread  of  that 
terrible  scourge,  yellow  fever,  in  some  of  the  towns  and  cities  along  the  Mississippi, 
the  officers  and  executive  committee  of  the  Association,  having  obtained  the 
consent  of  our  friends  in  Georgia,  concurred  in  the  desirability  of  postponing  our 
Annual  Meeting,  which  was  appointed  to  be  held  in  Atlanta  on  the  first  Tuesday 
in  September,  until  some  time  in  November.  After  further  consultation  with  our 
Southern  friends,  as  well  as  with  many  of  our  leading  members  in  the  North,  the 
above  date  has  been  fixed  on  as  most  likely  to  meet  the  convenience  of  the  greater 
number  of  those  who  would  be  djsposed  to  attend.  It  is  confidently  predicted  that 
long  before  the  end  of  November  frosts  will  have  destroyed  the  germs  of  the  pes- 
tilence, so  that  not  the  slighest  apprehension  need  be  felt  of  danger  in  the  journey 
on  this  account. 
I  trust,  that  as  many  of  our- members  as  possibly  can  will  make  it  a  point  to 
attend  this  meeting,  even  at  the  risk  of  a  little  inconvenience  to  themselves.  By 
turning  out  in  good  force  we  shall  stimulate  the  progress  of  pharmacy  in  the  South, 
and  best  show  our  sympathy  for  our  fellow-laborers  there  in  their  efforts  to  elevate 
pharmacy  and  pharmacists  to  a  higher  position.  We  shall,  also,  by  availing  our- 
selves of  this  opportunity,  have  the  privilege  of  exchanging  a  week  or  two  of  the 
most  unpleasant  part  of  the  wintry  weather  of  the  North  for  that  of  the  mild  and 
geiiial  atmosphere  of  the  South.  The  proximity  of  the  place  of  meeting  to  the 
far-famed  winter  resorts  in  Georgia  and  Florida  will  no  doubt  be  an  additional 
attraction  to  many.  Let  there  be  a  hearty  response  to  the  cordial  invitation  extended 
by  our  Southern  brethren,  and  a  general  [rally  around  the  standard  of  the  A.  P.  A. 
in  the  beautiful  city  of  Atlanta. 
Applications  for  membership  should  be  addressed  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Execu- 
tive Committee,  Geo  W.  Kennedy,  Pottsville,  Pa.        Wm.  Saunders,  President.  ,
