Sir  and  much  honored  Confrere: 
We  have  the  honor  of  sending  you  the  Regulations  and  Programme  of 
the  second  session  of  the  International  Congress  of  Associations  and  So- 
cieties of  Pharmaciens. 
The  Committee  begs  you  to  give  these  documents  the  greatest  possible 
publicity,  that  the  meeting  of  1867  may  exert,  by  its  importance,  a  happy 
and  decisive  influence  on  the  future  of  Pharmacy,  the  progress  of  the  art 
and  the  public  interests  which  are  inseparable  from  them! 
We  hope  that  the  nature  of  the  questions  proposed  will  engage  the  Phar- 
maceutical Associations  of  all  countries,  who  send  delegates  to  the 
Congress  of  1867,  which,  also,  will  occur  under  unusual  circumstances — 
during  the  International  Exhibition. 
Receive,  sir  and  much  honored  confrere,  the  assurance  of  our  devotion. 
The  members  of  ike  Committee, 
MM.  Guibourt,  President, 
Boudet,  Lefort,

To  our  Readers.  Visit  to  Europe. — The  Editor  of  this  Journal,  hav- 
ing made  arrangements  to  visit  Europe  during  the  ensuing  spring  and 
summer  months,  desires  to  offer  as  a  reason  for  the  untimely  appearance 
of  the  May  number  his  wish  that  but  two  numbers  should  be  due  before 
the  period  when  he  hopes  to  resume  his  editorial  labors,  (Septem- 
ber 10th.)  While  absent,  the  Editor  proposes  to  institute  a  corres- 
pondence with  the  Journal,  and  thus  continue  his  connection  with  his 
readers  ;  yet,  the  burden  of  the  editorial  chair  will  be  sustained  by  the 
kind  offices  of  his  friends,  Prof.  Maisch  and  Mr.  Alfred  B.  Taylor,  of  the 
Committee  of  Publication.  The  Editor  takes  this  opportunity  to  ask  the 
friends  of  the  Journal  for  their  aid,  in  the  way  of  original  contributions, 
during  his  absence,  and  to  ask  their  friendly  consideration  for  any  delay 
which  may  arise  from  that  cause.     All  communications  referring  to
