t      Aug.,  1875. 
A  guide-book  of  the  city,  printed  in  English,  French  and  German  should  be  presented  to  each  visitor, 
together  with  cards  of  invitation  and  admission  to  our  various  public  and  private  institutions. 
Notices  should  be  sent  to  all  the  Pharmaceutical  Societies  ia  Europe  and  in  this  country,  and  pub- 
lished in  their  journals,  inviting  those  intending  to  visit  our  city  in  1876  to  make  our  College  tb  eir  head- 
quarters, and  that  all  letters  may  be  addressed  to  the  care  of  the  College. 
The  largest  number  of  visitors  will  doubtless  be  present  during  the  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  and  at  that  time  it  may  be  necessary  to  extend  our  arrangements  to  include  some 
social  gathering,  to  afford  an  opportunity  for  our  guests  to  meet  and  become  mutually  acquainted. 
The  report  was  referred  back  to  the  Committee,  with  authority  to  carry  out  its 
recommendations,  and  to  perfect  such  a  programme  as  they  in  their  wisdom  shall 
devise  for  the  entertainment,  scientifically  and  socially,  of  such  visitors  as  shall  honor 
us  with  their  presence. 
The  various  recommendations  of  the  Committee  found  favor  with  all  the  mem- 
bers who  discussed  the  matter,  and  the  Committee  are  left  free  to  make  such  arrange- 
ments as  will  insure  the  comfort  of  all  who  shall  visit  the  College  dtaringthe  Centen- 
nial year. 
In  connection  with  this  subject,  Professor  Maisch  called  the  attention  of  the  Col- 
lege to  sending  out  invitations  to  the  foreign  pharmaceutical  associations,  as  soon  as 
possible,  in  order  that  they  may  embody  them  in  their  transactions,  and  thus  give  all 
their  members  notice. 
He  offered  the  following  preamble  and  resolution,  which,  on  motion  of  Mr. 
Shinn,  were  unanimously  adopted  : 
Whereas,  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  has  invited  the  fifth  International  Pharmaceuti- 
cal Congress  10  meet  in  this  city  during  the  International  Exposition  in  the  year  1876,  and  in  case  that 
should  be  deemed  not  advisable,  has  extended  an  invitation  to  the  pharmacists  of  all  nations  to  attend 
the  meeting  of  that  Association  which  is  to  be  held  here  next  year;  and 
Whereas,  the  International  Exposition  will  probably  be  visited  by  many  druggists,  pharmacists 
and  chemists  from  abroad  ;  and 
Whereas,  any  arrangements  for  their  reception,  which  may  be  adopted  at  the  next  meeting  in  Boston 
of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  cannot  be  brought  to  the  notice  of  many  Pharmaceutical 
Societies  of  foreign  countries  in  time  for  their  annual  meetings,  which  take  p'ace  prior  to  October  next, 
therefore  be  it 
Resolved,  That  the  Corresponding  Secretary  be  instructed  to  communicate,  without  delay,  with  the 
presidents  or  secretaries  of  the  national  or  principal  local  pharmaceutical  associations  of  all  civilized 
countries  whose  addresses  can  be  ascertained,  requesting  them  to  extend  to  the  members  of  their  own 
and  of  kindred  societies  in  their  countries  the  hearty  invitation  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy, 
to  make  the  Hall  of  this  College  their  head-quarters  during  the  International  Exposition  of  1876,  assur- 
ing them  that  the  members  of  this  College  will  use  their  best  endeavors  to  make  the  visit  of  our  profes- 
sional brethren  to  this  country  as  agreeable,  and  to  facilitate  the  objects  of  their  visit  as  much  as  possible. 
Mr.  Shinn  further  moved  that  this  subject  be  referred  to  the  Centennial  Commit- 
tee, in  connection  with  the  Corresponding  Secretary,  who  is  hereby  authorized  to 
carry  out  the  views  of  the  College,  as  directed  by  the  Committee.  The  motion  was 
unanimously  adopted. 
A  communication  was  received  from  Wm.  Mclntyre,  Registrar,  calling  the  atten- 
tion of  the  College  to  a  paper  by  James  Kemble,  Ph.  G.,  entitled  "  Unusual  Doses, 
and  their  Correctness  when  ordered  in  Prescriptions,"  said  paper  of  Mr,  Kemble 
having  been  read  before  the  eighth  regular  pharmaceutical  meeting,  and  after  discus- 
sion by  that  body  was  referred  to  the  College. 
At  the  request  of  the  meeting,  the  paper  was  read,  and  a  short  discussion  ensued, 
when,  on  motion  of  Prof.  Remington,  amended  by  Prof,  Maisch,  the  subject  was 
referred  to  the  delegates  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  with  instruc-
