NOVEMBER,  1870. 
EIGHTEENTH  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE  AMERICAN 
PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION,  HELD  AT  BALTI- 
MORE. 
FIRST  SESSION. 
The  Eighteenth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Pharma 
ceutical  Association  convened  in  the  lecture-room  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland,  in  the  City  of  Baltimore,  Maryland,  on  the 
13th  of  September,  1870,  at  3  o'clock  P.  M.    President  Sar- 
gent, in  calling  the  meeting  to  order,  said : 
*'  I  wish  to  announce,  before  proceeding  to  the  regular  business  of  the 
session,  that  the  British  Pharmaceutical  Conference  assembled  at  three 
o'clock  to-day  in  the  City  of  Liverpool.  This  concurrence  in  the  time  of 
meeting  of  two  kindred  Associations,  in  diflFerent  and  widely  separated 
nations,  would  seem  to  render  appropriate  something  more  than  a  formal 
recognition  of  the  fact,  and  to  call  for  some  expression  of  our  interest  in 
an  Association  having  the  same  aims  as  our  own,  and  speaking  the  same 
language." 
The  following  Committee  on  Credentials  was  then  appointed, 
viz.,  William  S.  Thompson  of  Baltimore,  James  T.  King  of 
Middletown,  N.  Y.,  Newton  Pierpoint  of  Illinois,  who,  after
