The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries  was  read  and 
referred  for  publication. 
The  collection  of  pressed  medicinal  herbs,  exhibited  by  B.  0.  and 
<x.  Wilson,  of  Boston,  and  the  Caucasian  silk  cocoons  and  specimens  of 
Tyrethrum  roseum,  exhibited  by  M.  E.  Betannelly  &  Co.,  of  Phila- 
delphia, were  presented  to  the  Louisville  College  of  Pharmacy. 
According  to  a  resolution  offered  by  Dr.  A.  W.  Miller,  proprietary 
medicines  of  foreign  manufacture  will  hereafter  be  rigidly  excluded 
at  the  exhibitions  in  the  same  manner  as  our  domestic  nostrums. 
A  resolution  that  patent  apparatus  for  pharmaceutical  use  be  ad- 
mitted to  the  exhibitions,  and  to  illustrations  and  descriptions  in  the 
Proceedings,  was  laid  upon  the  table. 
The  following  resolutions,  offered  by  the  Business  Committee,  were 
unanimously  adopted  : 
"Resolved,  That  the  thanks  of  the  visiting  members  of  the  American  Pharm- 
aceutical Association  are  due  and  are  hereby  tendered  to  onr  brethren  of 
Louisville  for  the  courteous  reception  that  they  have  extended  to  us  ;  that  to 
them  is  due  the  fact  that  our  meeting  will  rank  amongst  the  most  pleasurable 
that  we  have  ever  attended. 
"  Resolved,  That  the  thanks  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
are  hereby  tendered  to  the  press  of  Louisville  for  the  exact  and  fair  reports 
they  have  made  of  our  proceedings." 
Adopted  with  acclamation. 
The  Association  then  adjourned,  to  meet  in  Boston,  on  Tuesday,

PHARMCY  TWO  HUNDRED  YEARS  AGO. 
The  Royal  Pharmacopoeia,  Galenical  and  Chymical,  according  to  the  Practice 
of  the  most  Eminent  and  Learned  Physitians  of  France,  and  publish'^  with 
their  several  approbations.  By  Moses  Charras,  theK  ing's  Chief  Operator  in

The  above  is  the  title  of  an  antiquated  work  in  my  possession,  and 
I  thought,  perhaps,  in  these  days  of  syrups,  elixirs  and  sugar-coated 
pills,  a  short  description  of  its  contents  might  not  prove  uninterest- 
ing to  the  readers  of  the  Journal.    The  work  is  prefaced  by  the 
Approbations  of  several  learned  Doctors,  besides  the  Dean  and 
Doctors  of  the  Faculty  of  Physick  in  the  University  of  Paris."
