ILLINOIS  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
This  Association  will  hold  its  Fifteenth  Annual  Meeting  at  Peoria,  August 
14th  to  16th.  An  elaborate  programme  has  been  arranged  ;  the  Retail  Drug- 
gists' Association  of  Peoria  will  entertain  the  visitors  on  the  evening  of  the 
1 6th. 
INDIANA   PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  members  of  the  I.  P.  A.  met  at  Evansville,  June  13th.  The  usual  enthu- 
siasm which  has  characterized  this  Association  in  the  past  prevailed  to  an 
unusual  degree  on  this  occasion.  Several  valuable  and  interesting  reports  were 
read,  and  Prof.  Louis  Diehl,  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  addressed  the  meeting  on  the 
subject  of  the  National  Formulary.  He  outlined  the  history  of  this  publica- 
tion, and  related  how  a  plan  had  been  devised  by  the  Kentucky  Pharmaceutical 
Association  to  make  the  use  of  the  Formulary  more  popular  among  druggists 
of  that  State.  This  plan  consisted  in  having  members  make  preparations  in 
strict  accordance  with  the  Formulary  and  present  them  at  the  meeting  of  the 
K.  P.  A.;  these  were  to  be  examined  by  a  committee  and  then  presented  and 
explained  by  this  committee,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Kentucky  Medical  Associa- 
tion. The  suggestion  had  been  carried  out  to  the  letter,  some  65  to  70  members 
having  submitted  samples.  When  presented  at  the  meeting  of  the  Medical 
Association,  they  attracted  more  attention  than  anything  else  on  the  programme. 
Mr.  Leo  Eliel  read  a  paper  on  the  "New  Pharmacopoeia,"  and  Prof.  J.  N. 
Hurty,  one  on  "The  Alcohol  Molecule."  The  entertainment  features  were 
especially  attractive.    The  Association  will  meet  next  year  at  Fort  Wayne. 
INTERNATIONAL  EXPOSITION  OF  HYGIENIC  AND  ALIMENTARY  PRODUCTS  AT 
ROME. 
Next  September  20th,  will  be  opened  at  Rome  the  Ninth  Exposition  of 
hygienic  and  alimentary  products,  organized  by  the  International  Association 
for  the  improvement  of  hygiene,  which  has  its  seat  at  Brussels  (Belgium),  and 
counts  among  its  members  the  scientific  heads  of  the  Old  and  New  World. 
Prof.  H.  E  Baccelli,  Minister  of  Public  Instruction,  consented  to  accept  the 
Presidency  of  the  Committee  of  Patronage.
