Some  camphor  was  sent  to  England,  but  the  exports  were  small, 
in  consequence  of  the  high  freights,  whilst  most  of  the  produce  of 
the  country,  owing  to  the  superiority  of  the  vessels,  goes  to  the  Chi- 
nese port  of  Shanghai. — Chemist  and  Druggist,  June. 
AMERICAN  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
NOTICE  OF  ANNUAL  MEETING. 
The  Twenty-second  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion will  convene  in  the  city  of  Louisville,  Kentucky,  on  the  second  Tuesday  (8th) 
of  September,  1874.    The  first  session  will  open  at  3  P.  M. 
Those  desiring  information  concerning  the  meeting,  or  on  business  pertaining 
thereto,  should  address  the  permanent  Secretary,  Prof.  John  M  Maisch,  145  North 
Tenth  street,  Philadelphia,  Pa. 
The  Local  Secretary,  Prof.  Emil  Scbeffer,  of  Louisville,  will  render  the  necessary 
assistance  in  connection  with  the  exhibition  or  other  local  arrangements.  The  offi- 
cers of  the  Association  will,  as  far  as  possible,  provide  every  convenience  for  those 
desiring  to  participate  in  the  deliberations;  also  to  those  who  exhibit  articles  of 
pharmaceutical  interest.  In  order  that  the  meeting  may  be  a  success,  I  would  urge 
each  member  to  give  all  possible  assistance  in  furthering  the  objects  of  the  Associa- 
tion 
It  is  unnecessary,  at  this  time,  to  explain  its  objects  or  the  good  already  achieved  ; 
these  are  facts  well  known  to  all  who  are  practically  or  scientifically  interested  in 
the  promotion  of  Pharmacy.  Those  who  are  not  so  informed  I  would  refer  to  its 
Constitution  and  Annual  Proceedings.  From  a  bright  star  of  the  pharmaceutical 
firmament  in  1852,  the  Association  has  grown  to  an  effulgent  sun  of  intellectual 
light,  its  diverging  rays,  with  increasing  splendor,  permeating  every  part  of  this 
vast  country.  The  various  standing  committees,  representing  every  phase  of  in- 
terest connected  with  the  trade  and  profession  of  pharmacy,  will  bring  farward  a 
valuable  store  of  well-digested  information  ;  whilst  the  exhibition  department,  so 
attractive  in  the  past,  promises  to  be  unusually  large  and  interesting  this  year.  The 
many  advantages  accruing  to  members,  especially  those  who  attend  the  annual 
gatherings,  the  proceedings  of  which  are  published  in  book  form,  being  faithfully 
recorded  facts  in  the  progress  of  pharmacy  and  its  allied  sciences,  are  essential  to 
every  well  regulated  pharmaceutical  library,  and  in  money  value  being  more  than 
equal  to  the  annual  dues,  should  induce  every  pharmacist  and  druggist  who  feels  a 
pride  in  his  vocation,  to  apply  for  membership.  Copies  of  the  Constitution,  by-laws 
and  blank  app'ications  for  membership  will  be  furnished,  by  Prof.  Maisch,  to  those 
who  apply  for  them.
