the  blood  passes  from  the  heart  to  the  head  are  always  lessened  in  their  cavi- 
ties when  the  head  is  resting  in  bed  higher  than  the  body ;  therefore,  in  all 
diseases  attended  with  fever  the  head  should  be  pretty  nearly  on  a  level  with 
the  body;  and  people  ought  to  accustom  themselves  to  sleep  thus  and  avoid 
danger. — Home  and  Health,  I,  150.

NOTICE. 
The  Nineteenth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion will  be  held  in  the  city  of  St.  Louis,  Missouri,  on  the  second  Tuesday 
(12th)  of  September,  1871,  commencing  at  3  o'clock  P.M. 
With  the  view  of  increasing  the  interest  and  importance  of  this  meeting  the 
Committee  of  Local  Arrangements  will  endeavor  to  make  the  display  of  prod- 
ucts in  any  way  connected  with  the  drug  business  as  extensive  as  possible. 
Specimens  of  crude  drugs,  especially  such  as  are  indigenous  to  the  West  and 
South,  will  serve  to  illustrate  the  materia  medica  of  the  great  Yalley  of  the 
Mississippi,  and  are  particularly  desirable  articles  for  exhibition  ;  they  should  be 
delivered,  free  of  expense,  to  Wm.  H.  Crawford,  Local  Secretary,  St.  Louis, 
accompanied  by  an  invoice  and  description. 
It  is  earnestly  hoped  that  all  who  are  eligible  and  who  are  not  already  mem- 
bers will  become  such,  and  thus  more  nearly  equalize  the  representative  num- 
ber of  members  among  all  the  States,  which  would  greatly  increase  the  useful- 
ness of  the  Association,  and  render  it  more  national  in  character.
