world,  inviting  them  to  participate  in  the  Columbian  commemoration  by  a 
convention  similar  in  scope  to  the  other  world's  congresses  to  be  held  at  the 
same  time  and  place,  the  proceedings  of  which  will,  in  part,  be  devoted  to 
addresses  and  papers  of  a  general  and  popular  character,  including  brief 
reviews  of  the  progress  made  since  the  days  of  Columbus.  It  was,  however, 
deemed  desirable  that  there  shall  be  but  one  pharmaceutical  congress  held  this 
year,  and  that  the  scope  and  objects  of  the  proposed  World's  Congress  of 
Pharmacists  and  those  of  the  Seventh  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress 
be  merged,  and  to  attain  this  end  the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary  accordingly 
proposed  that  the  programme  of  the  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress 
at  Chicago  include  addresses  and  papers  of  a  historical  nature,  and  afford 
opportunity  for  the  presentation  of  such  other  topics  of  a  general  interest  as 
may,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Committee  on  Arrangements,  be  appropriate  to 
the  occasion.  This  proposal  having  been  agreed  to,  the  International  Pharma- 
ceutical Congress  will  be  the  only  world's  congress  of  pharmacists  held  in 
Chicago  during  the  Exposition  season. 
The  general  scope  and  objects  of  the  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress 
will  be  to  stimulate  pharmaceutical  progress,  to  discuss  the  status  of  pharma- 
cists and  promote  an  intelligent  appreciation  of  the  work  they  do,  and  to  con- 
sider matters  and  measures  affecting  the  further  advancement  of  pharmacy  and 
a  nearer  approach  to  international  agreement  in  education  and  practice.
