EDITORIAL  DEPARTMENT. 
The  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.— Before  our  next  issue  will  reach 
many  of  our  subscribers,  the  members  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion will  be  on  their  way  to  attend  the  twenty-fifth  annual  meeting,  at  Toronto, 
Canada.  The  general  rendezvous  of  most  of  those  intending  to  be  present  will  be 
at  Niagara  Falls,  where  the  Cataract  House  will  be  the  headquarters,  and  where 
tickets  for  some  localities  of  interest  will  be  obtainable  at  lower  prices,  at  the  store 
of  Hiram  E.  Griffith,  M.A.P.A.  Many  members  from  the  Atlantic,  Southern  and 
Western  States  will  meet  on  the  way  to  or  at  Watkins,  on  the  evening  of  Wednes- 
day, August  29,  where  the  headquarters  will  be  at  the  Glen  Mountain  House,  already 
known  to  a  large  party  of  the  Association,  which  stopped  there  in  1872.  The 
exploration  of  Watkins  Glen,  Havana  Glen  and  Hector  Falls  will  occupy  Thurs- 
day and  Friday.  The  programme  for  Saturday  will  include  a  sail  on  Seneca  Lake 
from  its  southern  end  at  Watkins  to  its  northern  termination  at  Geneva,  and  the 
journey  to  Niagara  Falls,  where  Sunday  and  Monday  may  be  spent.  Leaving 
Tuesday  forenoon,  by  way  of  Lewiston  and  steamer  on  Lake  Ontario,  Toronto 
will  be  reached  at  1.30  P.  M.,  giving  ample  time  for  dinner  and  to  attend  the 
opening  meeting  at  3  o'clock.  The  headquarters  will  be  at  the  Rossin  House,  and 
the  sessions  will  be  held  at  the  City  Council  Chamber.  The  three  hotels  named 
will  furnish  first-class  accommodations  at  reduced  rates  to  the  members  and  their 
families. 
The  contemplated  pharmaceutical  exhibition,  it  is  earnestly  hoped,  will  be  well 
supplied  from  Canadian  exhibitors  as  well  as  with  articles  which  are  of  the  growth, 
produce  or  manufacture  of  the  United  States,  and  only  such  are  recommended  to 
be  sent.  They  should  be  addressed  to  the  local  Secretary,  Mr.  Henry  J.  Rose,  and 
will  then  be  admitted  in  bond  and  exhibited,  and  if  not  sold,  may  re-enter  the  United 
States  duty  free.  Under  existing  regulations,  such  re-entry  is  effected  with  the  least 
trouble  at  the  port  whence  they  were  shipped  (Suspension  Bridge  for  instance),  and 
the  necessary  formalities  may  be  attended  to  by  the  person  in  charge  of  such  goods. 
The  local  secretary  should  be  notified  on  or  before  August  15  of  the  space  required. 
Members  living  on  the  lines  of  the  Great  Western  or  Grand  Trunk  Railways 
may  obtain  round  trip  tickets  to  Toronto  and  back  at  one  and  one-third  (1!)  fare.
