punctually  at  each  of  the  meetings  of  the  Conference  Committee,  and  heard 
calmly  and  patien.tly  the  charges  as  specified  in  the  report  from  said  Medical 
and  Surgical  Society,  as  also  other  charges  which  were  added  thereto  by  the 
Conference  Committee,  which  charges  were  acknowledged  so  far  as  believed  to 
be  true  and  just,  but  so  far  as  they  were  believed  to  be  unjust  and  selfish  were 
refuted  by  the  committee  from  this  College  :  and 
Whereas,  In  turn  the  pharmaceutical  committee  preferred  charges  against 
the  medical  profession  for  irregular  and  disreputable  practices,  and  in  order  to 
more  fully  and  fairly  meet  the  grievances  of  both  parties,  a  resolution  was 
adopted  by  the  Conference  Committee  by  which  a  subcommittee  was  appointed 
consisting  of  three  physicians  and  three  pharmacists,  with  instructions  to  con- 
sult together  on  the  subject  and  draft  resolutions  expressive  of  the  grievances 
of  both,  which  resolutions  were  to  be  presented  for  discussion  at  a  general 
meeting  of  the  two  professions  to  be  called  by  the  chairman  of  the  Conference 
Committee  upon  receiving  the  report  of  the  subcommittee;  and 
Whereas,  The  members  of  the  medical  profession  belonging  to  the  subcom- 
mittee failed  to  attend  the  meeting  of  the  committee,  after  having  been  duly 
notified  ;  and  further,  as  it  has  been  learned,  that  at  a  subsequent  meeting  of 
the  Medical  and  Surgical  Society  the  committee  from  that  body  was  regularly 
discharged,  thus  withdrawing  on  their  part  the  charges  against  pharmacists, 
and  virtually  admitting  themselves  to  be  in  error:  therefore, 
Resolved,  That,  in  the  estimation  of  this  College,  the  members  of  the  Medi- 
cal and  Surgical  Society  of  Baltimore  have  discovered  that  the  beam  in  their 
own  eye  is  quite  as  large  as  the  mote  in  ours,  and,  as  too  great  a  sacrifice  is 
demanded  of  them  to  remove  the  beam  from  their  own  eye,  they  have  agreed 
that  the  mote  shall  remain  in  the  eye  of  their  brother. 
Resolved,  That,  as  the  Medical  and  Surgical  Society  of  Baltimore,  by  the  dis- 
charge of  its  committee,  has  withdrawn  its  charges  against  pharmacists,  thereby 
rendering  the  committee  from  this  College  powerless  to  act,  that  the  committee 
be  and  is  hereby  discharged  fr^m  the  further  consideration  of  the  subject. 
Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  be  instructed  to  record  this  preamble  and  reso- 
lutions in  the  Book  of  Proceedings,  and  to  forward  a  copy  of  them  to  each  of 
the  presidents  of  the  medical  societies  represented  in  the  C  nference  Com- 
mittee. 
National  College  or  Phakmacv. — The  first  course  has  been  attended  by  fif- 
teen students,  of  which  number  four  had  previously  attended  lectures  in  other

their  diplomas  as  graduates  iri  pharmacy.  Their  names  are  :  Albert  M.  Read, 
Clarence  R.  Dufour  and  Wm,  B.  Hieskell.

The  Twenty-first  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  As- 
sociation.— The  time  is  rapidly  approaching  when  this  meeting  will  be  held, 
the  first  one  in  a  Southern  city,  and,  as  far  as  can  be  judged  from  our  corres- 
pondence, it  will  be  largely  attended  from  all  sections  of  the  country.  It  will  be 
the  second  time  that  the  Association  will  meet  in  a  city  to  which  it  had  not  been 
invited  for  that  particular  time,  and  the  success  of  the  Cleveland  meeting  is 
looked  upon  as  a  guarantee  for  the  success  of  the  n^xt  one.  at  Richmond,  Va„ 
whither  the  Association  goes  under  circumstances  precisely  like  those  the  year
