To  expedite  the  business  of  the  Association,  it  is  earnestly  requested  that  all 
such  papers,  with  synopsis  of  the  same,  be  placed  in  charge  of  the  above  named 
chairman,  before  the  opening  of  the  first  session. 
It  will  greatly  aid  the  Secretary  and  Treasurer  if  members  will  see  that  the  appli- 
cations of  those  whom  they  propose  for  membership  are  properly  made  out  and 
signed,  and  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee  in 
time  to  be  acted  upon  at  the  first  session. 
The  admission  fee  and  the  annual  contribution  ($5.00  each,)  should  accompany 
the  applications,  in  order  to  place  the  names  on  the  roll  [<vidt  Article  iii,  Chapter 
vii,  of  the  by-laws). 
In  answer  to  the  invitation  of  the  Association,  it  is  expected  that  the  meeting  will 
be  honored  by  the  presence  of  delegates  from  European  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tions ;  this  will  be  an  important  feature  of  the  meeting,  which,  together  with  the 
great  attraction  of  the  Centennial  Exposition,  and  the  many  objects  of  interest  in 
and  about  Philadelphia,  cannot  fail  to  render  a  visit  to  that  city  an  occasion  replete 
with  instruction  and  with  social  and  intellectual  pleasure. 
Details  with  regard  to  the  meeting,  and  the  local  arrangements  for  the  reception 
of  the  Association,  will  be  given  in  the  circular  of  the  Permanent  Secretary,  Prof, 
John  M.  Maisch,  145  N.  Tenth  Street,  Philadelphia.

PHARMACEUTICAL  COLLEGES  AND.  ASSOCIATIONS.  . 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association. — Most  of  the  Colleges  and  Asso- 
ciations have  informed  the  Permanent  Secretary  of  the  appointment  of  committees 
whose  object  it  will  be  to  give  to  visiting  pharmaceutists  such  information  as  may 
be  desirable  to  facilitate  the  object  of  their  visit  to  this  country.  A  number  of 
pharmacists  from  foreign  countries  have  already  been  visiting  the  International  Ex- 
position, and,  after  extending  their  trips  to  various  sections  of  the  country,  have 
returned  to  their  homes.  Others  will  doubtless  follow  as  the  season  advances,  and, 
once  this  side  of  the  Atlantic,  will  be  desirous  of  seeing  as  much  as  possible  of  the 
new  world.  They  may  rest  assured  that  fraternal  courtesies  will  be  extended  to  them, 
everywhere. 
National  Collece  of  Pharmacy,  Washington,  D.  C. — The  regular  monthly

The  Committee  on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacy,  through  Mr.  Chas.  Becker,  made 
a  very  interesting  report,  embracing  many  recent  discoveries  in  pharmacy  and  chem- 
istry. The  committee  recommend  that  conversational  pharmaceutical  meetings  be 
held  at  8  o'clock  P.M.  on  the  second  Wednesday  in  each  month,  the  object  being 
to  discuss  more  thoroughly  the  reports  of  the  committee,  to  secure  an  interchange
