visiting  the  President's  house  and  the  observatory  of  Prof.  Young.  Many  rare  and 
interesting  forms  of  apparatus  were  shown  in  the  various  departments  of  the  col- 
lege, and  were  courteously  exhibited  and  explained  by  the  different  Professors  in 
attendance.  The  visits  to  the  Library  and  to  the  Museum  were  especially  interest- 
ing. In  the  evening  an  illustrated  lecture  was  delivered  before  the  Association  in 
the  Museum  of  the  College  by  T.  Chapman  Hill,  A.M.,  on  Insects.  Tuesday 
morning  was  devoted  to  reading  answers  to  queries  and  volunteer  papers.  Taking 
it  all  together,  it  was  one  of  the  most  interesting  meetings  of  the  Association. 
Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association. — In  accordance  with  the  arrange- 
ments made  by  the  Secretary,  Dr.  J.  A.  Miller,  of  Harrisburg,  most  of  the  members 
from  the  eastern  section  of  the  State  took  the  fast  day  train,  crossing  the  Alleghe- 
nies  just  before  dusk,  and  arriving  in  Pittsburg  shortly  before  midnight  on  the  even- 
ing of  June  9th,  where  they  were  received  by  a  committee  of  the  Pittsburg  drug- 
gists and  conducted  to  the  quarters  prepared  for  them.  The  remaining  members 
from  the  eastern  and  from  other  parts  of  the  State  arrived  early  on  Tuesday 
morning. 
The  meeting  was  held  in  the  Select  Council  Chamber,  the  first  session  being 
called  to  order  by  President  Heinitsh  at  10.20  A.  M.  Addresses  of  welcome  were 
delivered  by  Dr.  L.  H.  Harris,  of  Pittsburg,  on  behalf  of  the  druggists  and  pharma- 
cists, and  by  John  Coyle,  Esq.,  on  behalf  of  the  Mayor,  who  was  absent,  to  both  of 
which  the  President  responded. 
A  large  number  of  applications  for  membership  were  reported  during  the  morn- 
ing by  Mr.  Meyers,  of  the  Executive  Committee,  and  the  applicants  were  duly 
elected. 
The  President  delivered  his  annual  address,  in  which  he  made  various  suggestions 
having  in  view  increased  facilities  for  the  transaction  of  business  and  for  enlarging 
the  usefulness  of  the  Association.  The  address  was  referred  to  a  committee  con- 
sisting of  Messrs.  Remington,  Zeller  and  Ziegler,  to  report  thereon  at  the  next 
session. 
Reports  were  read  and  received  from  the  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  the  Executive 
Committee,  the  Committee  on  Certificate  of  Membership,  the  Delegates  to  the 
Twenty-sixth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and 
from  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries.  The  Treasurer's  report  was  referred 
to  an  auditing  committee  consisting  of  Messrs.  Harris,  Horn  and  Abel.  The  cer- 
tificate of  membership  was  adopted  as  recommended,  and  the  committee  continued 
for  the  purpose  of  making  the  necessary  contract  and  having  it  executed.  The 
price  of  the  certificate  to  members  was  subsequently  fixed  at  $3. 00,  which  barely 
covers  the  cost.  On  the  motion  of  Messrs.  Maisch  and  Lemberger  the  list  of  queries 
was  directed  to  be  printed  separate  from  the  proceedings  and  a  copy  thereof  to  be 
furnished  to  each  member. 
A  committee  of  five  for  the  nomination  of  officers  was  appointed  as  follows : 
Messrs.  Maisch,  Ross,  Hays,  Zeller  and  Harris  j  and,  on  motion,  the  officers  were 
.directed  to  device  and  procure  a  seal,  which  is  to  be  the  seal  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Pharmaceutical  Association.
