The  articles  designed  for  exhibition  must  belong  to  one  of  the  following^ 
five  groups:  1.  Scientific  instruments  and  accessories  applicable  for  pharma- 
ceutical purposes.  2.  Literary  productions  belonging  to  the  domain  of 
pharmacy  or  its  collateral  sciences.  3.  Apparatus  and  machines  for  the 
preparation  of  medicinal  products.  4.  All  fixtures  and  utensils  necessary 
for  or  applicable  in  conducting  the  apothecary  business,  5.  Drugs,  chemi- 
cal products,  pharmaceutical  preparations  and  goods  in  general  intended 
for  medical  use.  Excluded  are  the  following:  Medicinal  specialties,  the 
composition  and  mode  of  preparation  of  which  are  not  based  upon  acknow- 
ledged rational,  scientific  iDrinciples,  and  all  secret  remedies  without  dis- 
tinction, whether  their  composition  be  known  or  not.  The  prizes  will 
consist  of  an  honorary  diploma,  diploma  of  the  golden  medal  and  diploma

The  charges  for  space  will  be  for  the  square  meter  or  running  meter 
or  a  fraction  thereof,  10  florins ;  free  space,  per  square  meter,  20  florins  ; 
wall  room  for  flat  objects,  per  meter,  5  florins  ;  a  reduction  will  be  made  for

exhibited  in  suitable  vessels  of  limited  dimensions.  Insurance  against  fire 
and  other  accidents  will  be  at  the  risk  of  the  exhibitors. 
Applications  are  required  to  be  made  not  later  than  April  30th,  a  date 
which  gives  to  American  firms  who  may  contemplate  to  exhibit  their 
goods  very  little  time  for  consideration,  since  the  circular  was  issued 
under  date  of  March  8th,  and  did  not  reach  this  country  until  near  the 
end  of  the  month.

our  March  number,  on  page  147,  the  author  speaks  of  Mr.  Charles  Rice  a& 
the  American  editor  of  "  Pharmacographia. Dr.  Rice  informs  us  that  he 
has  never  used  this  title,  and  is  not  entitled  to  it.
