them. 
The  annual  dinner  of  the  Society  took  place  in  the  evening;  twenty-one 
members  gathered  around  the  festive  board  ;  appropriate  toasts  were  offered 
and  responded  to  by  the  several  gentlemen  called  upon,  and  a  spirit  of  harmony 
prevailed  such  as  will  render  this  occasion  to  be  long  remembered  by  those 
who  were  so  fortunate  as  to  be  present.  The  members  of  this  Society  have 
cause  to  be  gratified  at  the  position  it  has  taken  upon  the  important  subjects 
relating  to  the  practice  of  pharmacy  upon  the  Pacific  coast,  and  that  it  will 
steadily  advance  to  the  exalted  position  so  long  occupied  by  its  sister  societies 
of  the  East  will  be  the  earnest  endeavor  of  all  of  its  members.
