State,  5  ;  county,  three ;  and  local  2  each;  while  an  invitation  generally  is 
extended  to  all  retail  druggists  who  can,  to  be  present  and  unite  with  us  in 
this  important  move,  whose  benefits  are  to  be  equally  shared  by  all.  Those 
who  are  unable  to  be  present  are  requested  to  forward  their  names  for  mem- 
bership. Knowing  the  many  expenses  we  are  called  upon  to  meet,  the 
assessments  will  be  made  very  light.  At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Con- 
necticut Pharmaceutical  Association,  held  in  Hartford,  Feb.  7,  1883,  this 
object  was  unanimously  endorsed  and  the  president  was  instructed  to 
appoint  delegates.  It  has  also  received  the  endorsement  of  various  county 
and  local  associations.  It  is  earnestly  desirea  that  as  many  responses  to 
this  call  be  received  from  different  sections  of  the  country  as  possible,  in 
order  that  some  idea  may  be  formed  as  to  whether  such  an  organization  is 
desirable  or  not. 
Retail  druggists  in  sympathy  with  the  objects  specified  in  this  circular, 
those  desiring  information,  and  those  intending  to  become  members  of  the 
proposed  Association,  are  requested  to  confer  with  J.  W.  Colcord,  Secretary 
Massachusetts  State  Pharmaceutical  Association,  Lynn,  Mass. 
March  22,  1883. 
This  call  is  signed  by  the  presidents  of  23  State  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tions, namely,  of  Ababama,  California,  Connecticut,  Georgia,  Illinois, 
Indiana,  Iowa,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Maine,  Massachusetts,  Missouri, 
]N^ebraska,  New  Jersey,  New  York,  North  Carolina,  Pennsylvania,  Rhode 
Island,  Texas,  Vermont,  Virginia,  West  Virginia  and  Wisconsin ;  also  by 
the  president  and  treasurer  and  three  members  of  Council  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association. 
The  State  Associations  by  whose  presidents  the  project  has  been  endorsed, 
embrace,  we  believe,  with  two  exceptions  all  of  these  bodies  at  present  in 
existence,  the  pharmaceutical  associations  formerly  active  in  four  or  five 
other  States  not  having  held  any  meetings  for  a  number  of  years.  The 
unanimity  which  is  thus  seen  to  prevail,  is  of  itself  proof  of  the  necessity  of 
such  an  organization,  and  of  the  good  which  it  may  accomplish  ;  and  the 
time  chosen  for  the  convention  must  insure  for  it  the  large  attendance  which 
the  movement  deserves. 
A  MEMORIAL,  TO  FREDERICK  WoEHLER  is  Contemplated,  and  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  German  Chemical  Society,  which  has  its  headquarters  in 
Berlin,  under  date  of  January  30th,  has  issued  a  call  to  all  reverers  and 
admirers  of  this  deceased  chemist,  for  contributions  towards  this  purpose, 
which  may  be  sent  to  the  Treasurer  of  that  Society,  Mr.  J.  F.  Holtz,  in 
Berlin,  or  to  Dr.  Pauer,  Secretary  of  the  University  of  Gottingen.  It  is 
stated  that  the  call  for  contributions  towards  monuments  to  Justus  Liebig 
had  been  liberally  responded  to,  and  that  the  statue  intended  for  Munich 
^vould  be  ready  for  unveiling  in  a  few  months.  A  similar  liberality  is 
expected  from  the  pupils  and  the  chemists  in  general  towards  perpetu- 
ating the  memory  of  Liebig's  distinguished  co-worker,  Woehler. 
International  Pharmaceutical  Exhibition. — To  the  various 
international  exhibitions  of  special  industries  which  are  to  take  place  in 
different  countries  during  the  next  year  or  two,  there  is  to  be  added  an 
international  pharmaGeutical  exhibition,  which  will  be  held  in  Vienna, 
Austria,  upon  the  premises  of  the  Horticultural  Society,  commencing 
August  11th  and  closing  August  27th  next.    The  different  Austrian  phar-
