Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. — Our  readers 
will  find  a  report  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Baltimore  meeting  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  present  number,  which  we  have  compiled  from  the  rough 
minutes  and  papers  of  the  Secretary,  and  they  can  form  some  opinion  of 
the  character  of  the  gathering  from  their  perusal.  In  point  of  numbers 
and  interest  it  was  the  most  interesting  occasion  we  have  yet  had,  and 
though  the  immediate  results  are  not  as  extensive  as  may  have  been  anti- 
cipated, yet  the  prospect  for  the  next  meeting,  arising  from  the  action  of 
committees  on  scientific  and  other  subjects,  is  very  promising  with  even 
ordinary  interest  on  their  part.  The  greatest  harmony  and  good  feeling 
prevailed,  and  the  hospitality  and  kindness  of  our  Baltimore  brethren  was 
as  abundant  as  usual.  Notwithstanding  the  Resolution  adopted  in  New 
York  last  year  to  discourage  the  expensive  habit  of  giving  public  entertain- 
ments on  the  occasions  of  the  meetings  of  the  Association,  our  Baltimore 
friends  exceeded  any  effort  of  the  kind  hitherto  made ;  and  whilst  among 
those  who  disapprove  of  these  manifestions,  as  being  burthensome  to  the 
givers  and  too  often  exceeding  the  bounds  of  moderation  in  their  conduc- 
tion, we  have  considerable  disposition  to  excuse  it  in  this  instance,  from 
the  influence  it  is  said  to  have  had  in  drawing  closer  the  cords  of  profes- 
sional sympathy  among  the  brethren  there  than  on  any  former  occasion.  The 
meeting  adjourned  to  convene  in  Philadelphia  next  September,  when  we 
hope  to  have  the  largest  and  most  interesting  meeting  that  has  yet  occurred, 
under  the  impetus  given  at  Baltimore. 
Apothecaries  Association  of  the  District  of  Columbia. — Mr.  Har- 
baugh,  of  Washington,  has  sent  us  a  copy  of  a  Bill  presented  to  the  last
