Cincinnati,  Hamilton  and  Indianapolis  Railroad  ;  Louisville  and  Great  Southern. 
Louisville,  Cincinnati  and  Lexington  Railroad. 
Round  trip  excursion  tickets  to  be  obtained  only  upon  previous  application  to  and 
order  from  Local  Secretary,  Mr.  Eli  Lilly  : 
Canada  Southern  Railroad,  and  Grand  Trunk  Railway,  of  Canada,  one  and  one- 
third  fare. 
Pittsburg,  Cincinnati  and  St.  Louis  (Pan  Handle)  Railroad,  and  Indianapolis, 
Bloomington  and  Western  Railroad,  4  cents  per  mile  one  way. 
Mobile  and  Montgomery  Railroad,  and  Indianapolis,  Cincinnati  and  La  Fayette 
Railroad,  one  and  one-fifth  fare. 
Other  arrangements  with  Southern  and  Western  railroads  are  contemplated,  but 
not  yet  perfected  in  detail.  Similar  reductions  will  be  secured  for  delegates  and 
members  with  their  families  coming  from  east  of  the  Alleghanies.  Full  particulars 
will  be  given  by  the  circular  of  the  Permanent  Secretary  to  be  issued  during  the 
present  month.  In  the  meantime  we  would  request  members  residing  east  of  the 
Alleghanies  who  contemplate  visiting  Indianapolis  to  inform  the  Permanent  Secre- 
tary of  their  intention,  and  all  who  have  suitable  articles  for  exhibition  to  correspond 
without  delay  with  the  Local  Secretary,  in  order  to  secure  the  requisite  space. 
State  Pharmaceutical  Associations. — Two  months  ago  a  State  Pharmaceutical 
Association  was  organized  in  Texas,  of  which  Mr.  L.  M.  Connor,  of  Dallas,  was 
elected  president. 
The  State  of  Ohio  will  likewise  soon  have  a  similar  organization,  a  numerously- 
signed  call  for  the  initiatory  meeting  having  been  issued.  The  meeting  will  beheld 
at  the  city  of  Columbus  on  September  2d,  and  promises  to  be  largely  attended. 
Both  of  these  new  associations  will  most  likely  be  represented  by  delegates  at  the 
meeting  of  the  National  Association  at  Indianapolis. 
As  stated  elsewhere,  a  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  Wisconsin  will  probably  be 
organized  in  October  next. 
Pharmacy  Law  of  Brooklyn.— "An  act  governing  the  sale  of  drugs  and  poisons 
in  the  county  of  Kings,  State  of  New  York,"  is  the  title  of  the  law  which  received 
the  Governor's  sanction  June  12th.  It  is  modeled  after  the  law  applying  to  the  city 
of  New  York,  enacted  in  1872,  and  differs  chiefly  from  the  latter  in  requiring  from 
graduates  in  medicine  applying  for  registration  a  practical  experience  of  at  least  four 
years,  in  stores  where  prescriptions  of  medical  practitioners  have  been  compounded  $ 
in  permitting  the  registration  of  persons  having  had,  at  the  time  of  the  passage  of  the 
act,  ten  years'  practical  experience  in  the  preparation  of  physicians'  prescriptions, 
and  for  licentiates  in  pharmacy  in  recognizing  the  certificate  of  examination 
passed  before  any  other  recognized  board  of  pharmacy.  The  Local  Board  of  Phar- 
macy is  to  consist  of  five  members,  of  whom  the  Pharmaceutical  and  the  Medical 
Society  of  the  county  of  Kings  each  elect  two  members,  and  the  fifth  is  chosen  by 
the  joint  ballot  of  the  four.  Besides  the  usual  functions  (examination  and  registra- 
tion) the  board  is  invested  with  the  important  duty  of  "examining  into  and  adjudi- 
cating upon  all  cases  of  alleged  abuse,  fraud,  malpractice  or  incompetence,  and  it 
*hall  be  competent  for  the  said  board,  by  a  vote  of  three-fifths  of  its  members,  to
