It  has  been  some  years  since  the  Association  held  its  meeting  in  a  western  city,, 
and  we  may  count  upon  large  accessions  to  our  membership.  It  is  also  expected 
that  a  large  number  of  our  friends  from  the  South  and  Southwest  will  avail  them- 
selves of  this  opportunity  to  attend  the  meeting,  who  were  unable  to  be  present  at 
the  Atlanta  meeting  in  consequence  of  the  postponement  of  the  same,  or  the  una- 
voidable cause  arising  from  the  then  but  recent  afflictions  of  the  Mississippi  Valley. 
Mr.  Eli  Lilly,  the  local  Secretary  at  Indianapolis,  will  be  pleased  to  correspond 
with  exhibitors  or  receive  articles  for  exhibition  and  make  arrangements  for  the  dis- 
play of  the  same. 
The  chairmen  of  committees,  and  all  members  who  have  accepted  queries,  or 
who  have  observations  to  communicate,  are  requested  to  have  their  reports  ready  at 
the  first  session,  and  to  communicate  with  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries. 
Particular  attention  is  directed  to  the  still  incomplete  centennial  fund.  The  con- 
tributions to  this  fund  have  been  very  limited  by  the  members,  and  yet  it  is  one  of 
great  importance  to  the  Association,  as  well  as  to  researches  of  science.  Let  every 
member  of  the  Accociation,  and  local  Pharmaceutical  Associations  as  a  body, 
contribute  something  to  this  fund,  and  it  will  be  a  lasting  monument  to  the  Amer- 
ican Pharmaceutical  Association,  to  the  generosity  of  the  druggists  of  Philadelphia,, 
and  to  the  members  of  this  Association.
