of  meeting,  with  private  families  and  in  boarding  houses,  where  full  or  partial  board 
mav  be  obtained  ;  or  rooms  may  be  had  without  meals.  For  the  convenience  of 
those  desiring  such  accommodations,  a  list  will  be  kept  at  the  College  building,  and

P.  M.,  when  the  Actuary  of  the  College  will  be  in  attendance  to  give  all  desirable 
information  to  strangers,  it  being  the  desire  of  the  College,  that  the  build-

gress. Those  members  who  are  desirous  to  secure  rooms  in  advance,  may  address 
the  Permanent  Secretary,  stating  full  particulars. 
The  arrangements  for  visiting  the  Exposition  are  ample,  there  being  communica- 
tions by  steam  every  few  minutes  between  the  centre  of  the  city  and  the  Exhibition 
Grounds.  The  Committee  of  Arrangements  will,  at  the  first  session,  submit  a  plan 
for  visiting  the  Exposition,  with  the  view  of  facilitating  the  examination  of  the 
numerous  objects  of  interest,  without  conflicting  with  the  business  that  may  be 
brought  before  the  Association. 
Invitation  to  the  Pharmacists  of  Foreign  Countries. — The  following 
invitation  has  been  issued,  in  compliance  with  a  resolution  passed  by  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  at  its  twenty-third  meeting.  The  invitation  was  sent 
to  the  general  or  prominent  local  pharmaceutical  societies  of  the  various  countries, 
and  has  been  brought  to  the  notice  of  their  members.  From  some  acknowledge- 
ments received  since,  it  is  expected  that  a  number  of  foreign  pharmacists  will  make 
it  convenient  to  visit  this  country  at  the  time,  and  be  present  at  the  meeting  of  the 
National  Association.    The  document  referred  to  is  as  follows:
