International  Pharmaceutical  Congress  of  Paris,  1867. — In  January 
last,  M.  Robinet  stated  to  the  Society  of  Pharmacy,  that  a  majority  of  his 
colleagues,  at  the  Congress  of  Brunswick,  approved  of  Paris  as  the  place 
of  the  next  meeting  of  this  triennial  body.  A  Committee  was  appointed, 
and  in  February,  the  Society,  by  its  vote,  accepted  the  mission  of  taking  all 
the  necessary  measures  to  arrange  for  the  meeting  in  Paris  in  1867.  At 
the  meeting  in  March,  the  following  programme  wafe  adopted:
