PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
This  meeting  commenced  on  the  afternoon  of  Tuesday,  September 
16th,  in  the  Virginia  Opera  House,  located  on  Ninth  street,  opposite 
the  Capitol  Grounds  at  Richmond,  and  closed,  with  the  fifth  session, 
shortly  after  noon  on  Friday,  September  19th.  The  hall,  spacious 
without  being  too  large,  was  well  adapted  for  the  purposes  of  the 
meeting.  The  exhibition  was  held  in  the  supper-room,  located  in  the 
high  basement  beneath  the  hall  wherein  the  meeting  was  held,  and 
was  much  more  extensive  than  had  been  at  first  anticipated.

President,  Mr.  Albert  E.  Ebert,  of  Chicago,  who  congratulated  the 
members  upon  the  happy  auspices  under  which  they  were  permitted 
to  reassemble,  and  called  attention  to  the  pleasing  coincidence  that, 
at  this  moment,  the  British  Pharmaceutical  Conference  was  in  session 
at  Bradford,  England,  and  the  Austrian  Apothecaries'  Association,
