t     July  1,  1871. 
The  thanks  of  the  Association  were  tendered  to  the  Yicksburg  and  Merid- 
ian R.R.  Co.  for  their  kindness  in  passin<(  delegates  at  half  fare. 
The  Convention  then  adjourned,  to  meet  at  Holly  Springs  on  Friday,  the  8th 
^day  of  April,  1872. 
Pharmacy  in  Italy. — The  draft  of  a  sanitary  code,  lately  submitted  to  the 
Italian  parliament,  restricts  the  practice  of  pharmacy  to  pharmacists  possess- 
ing a  pharmaceutical  diploma,  but  recognizes  their  right  to  locate  wherever 
they  please. 
The  Collegio  Farmaceutico  Italiano  was  organized  at  Yerona  on  the  27th  of 
March  last,  for  the  purpose  of  guarding  the  interests  of  pharmacy.  Kach  of 
the  six  provincial  associations  (Lombardy,  Venice,  Sardinia,  Central  Italy, 
Naples  and  Sicily)  elect  a  vice-president,  and  these  the  president.  The  pre- 
sent officers  are  Messrs.  Colleoni  of  Venice,  Mosca  of  Turin,  Cicconi  of  Rome- 
Kernot  of  Naples,  Monteforte  of  Palermo,  Garofoletti  of  Milan. 
Pharmacy  in  Russia. — In  view  of  the  probability  that  the  next  meeting  of 
the  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress  be  held  at  St.  Petersburg,  the 
pharmaceutical  society  of  that  city  urges  the  formation  of  a  general  Russian 
Pharmaceutical  Society,  to  be  inaugurated  at  about  the  time  of  the  meeting  of 
the  Congress. 
Nineteenth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion.— The  official  announcement  of  the  president  will  be  found  on  another  page. 
Just  ten  jears  after  the  Association  contemplated  meeting  there,  it  will  meet 
•on  the  twelfth  of  September  next,  for  the  first  time  west  of  the  Mississippi  river. 
In  I8G0,  the  Association  appointed  a  committee  of  nine  members  residing  in 
different  sections  of  the  country,  for  the  purpose  of  promoting  the  attendance 
of  members  at  the  meeting  in  1851.  I'hat  meeting  could  not  be  held  ;  of  the 
•committee  then  appointed,  two  are  resting  from  their  earthly  labors,  three  have 
ceased  to  be  members,  while  the  remaining  four  are  likely  to  attend  the  coming 
meeting;  they  are  Messrs.  S.  M.  Colcord,  Boston;  Prof.  Parrish,  Philadel- 
phia; E.  0.  Gale,  Chicago  and  W.  J.  M.  Gordon,  Cincinnati. 
During  the  last  ten  years  these  meetings  have  continually  increased  in  inter- 
est and  in  the  number  of  the  attendants,  so  that  we  may  safely  expect  a  large 
gathering.  The  exhibitions  have  attracted  a  growing  interest,  and  from  the 
lexertions  our  friends  in  St.  Louis  have  been  making  we  feel  assured  that  the 
next  one  will  likewise  be  a  success.  The  local  secretary,  Mr.  W.  H.  Crawford, 
will  give  all  the  necessary  information. 
The  permanent  secretary  is  endeavoring  to  procure  a  reduction  of  fare  for 
members  and  their  families  living  at  a  distance  from  St.  Louis  ;  all  those  con- 
templating to  be  present  are  requested  to  communicate  with  him,  so  that  the 
requisite  steps  may  be  taken  in  good  season.
