Friday,  the  24th,  the  members  visiting  Nottingham  were  invited  to  a 
dinner,  given  in  honor  of  the  occasion,  by  the  Nottingham  Local  Com- 
mittee, which  seems  to  have  been  partaken  of  to  satisfaction. 
We  have  not  space  to  give  even  a  condensed  sketch  of  the  articles  on 
exhibition,  a  mere  list  of  which,  with  short  notes,  occupies  22  pages  of  the 
Pharmaceutical  Journal.  The  few  articles  sent  from  the  United  States 
were  received  with  marked  approval,  more,  however,  for  the  interest  exhi- 
bited in  recognizing  the  Conference  as  a  body,  by  sending  them  so  far, 
than  for  the  extent,  variety  or  rarity  of  the  articles  exhibited.  We  observe 
the  names  of  Prof.  Parrish,  Mr.  Stearns,  of  Detroit,  Suire  &  Co.,  of  Cin- 
cinnati, William  R.  Warner  &  Co.,  and  Mr.  Wm.  C.  Bakes  of  Philadel- 
phia, as  depositors.  The  report  says  : — "  The  Committee  desire,  with  both 
hands,  to  shake  hands  with  their  esteemed  American  brethern.  They 
fully  appreciate  the  good  feeling  evinced  towards  them,  by  the  collection 
forwarded  across  the  Atlantic  to  this  the  first  exhibition  of  the  British 
Pharmaceutical  Conference,  nor  could  it  have  come  under  better  sanction 
than  the  name  so  well  known  in  practical  Pharmacy,  as  that  of  Prof.  E. 
Parrish,  of  Philadelphia."  In  the  line  of  Materia  Medica  and  Chemicals, 
some  very  valuable  deposits  were  made,  which  must  have  added  much  to 
the  interest  of  the  exhibition  in  that  direction.  We  hope  to  be  able  to 
allude  to  this  subject  again,  and  notice  some  of  the  items  of  special 
interest.

International  Medical  Congress.  —The  following  item,  which  we  take 
from  the  "  Medical  News"  for  August,  informs  that  the  medical  men  of

their  body :
