Meeting  oe  the  Pharmaceutical  Association. — Our  readers  will  find 
at  page  472  the  Minutes  of  the  late  Meeting  in  this  city,  nearly  in  full,  which 
we  publish  in  anticipation  of  our  November  issue,  in  which  number  they 
usually  appear.  The  meeting  was  small,  the  attendance,  except  from  New 
York,  being  much  below  the  usual  ratio.  This  is  chiefly  due  to  the  pros- 
pect of  the  military  draft  occurring  on  the  3d  of  September,  the  post- 
ponement not  having  taken  place  until  too  late  for  the  members  to  reach 
Philadelphia.  As  it  was,  the  States  of  Massachusetts,  New  York,  New 
Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Delaware,  Ohio,  and  Illinois  were  represented.  As 
the  Minutes  are  full,  we  will  not  occupy  further  space  than  to  say,  that 
the  meeting  adjourned  to  meet  again  on  the  second  Tuesday  of  Septem- 
ber, 1863,  the  place  being  left  to  the  decision  of  the  President  and  Exe- 
cutive Committee. 
New  York  College  of  Pharmacy. — At  a  stated  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy,  of  the  City  of  New  York,  held 
August  4th,  1862,  the  following  Preamble  and  Resolutions  were  passed  : 
The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy  have  received  the 
melancholy  intelligence  of  the  death  of  Dr.  Wm.  H.  Milnor,  a  respected 
member  of  this  College,  and  for  several  terms  its  efficient  Secretary  ;  he 
having  died  at  Savage's  Station,  Va.,  while  serving  his  country  in  the 
capacity  of  surgeon  to  the  Twenty-Second  Regiment  Massachusetts  Volun- 
teers. As  evidence  of  our  appreciation  of  his  worth,  and  from  respect  to 
his  memory,  the  Board  have 
Resolved,  That  in  the  death  of  our  friend,  though  for  many  years 
separated  from  us,  we  feel  the  more  strongly,  because  it  is  now  final, 
the  loss  of  his  services,  his  fidelity  to  our  institution,  and  his  genial  and 
intellectual  society. 
Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  this  preamble  and  resolution  be  presented  to 
his  family.
