The  Nineteenth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation, lately  held  in  St.  Louis,  iVlo.,  of  the  doings  of  which  we  give  a  full 
account  elsewhere,  may  be  regarded  as  a  very  successful  one.  Though  we 
missed  the  valuable  counsel  of  several  active  members,  who  on  this  occasion 
were  prevented  from  attending,  the  number  in  attendance  was  about  125,  and, 
including  the  delegates,  about  115  new  members  joined  the  Association.  The 
papers  read,  numbering  about  fifty,  are  mostly  practical,  and  we  think  contain 
many  valuable  facts  and  suggestions.
