PROGRESS  IN  PHARMACY. 
A  QUARTERLY  REVIEW  OF  SOME  OF  THE  MORE  INTERESTING  LITERA- 
TURE RELATING  TO  PHARMACY  AND  MATERIA  MEDIC  A. 
By  M.  I.  Wilbert,  Washington,  D.  C. 
With  the  advent  of  the  summer  months  and  the  vacation  period, 
we  naturally  look  ahead  to  the  annual  meetings  of  the  national 
and  State  associations  devoted  more  particularly  to  the  fostering 
of  the  scientific  development  of  medicine  and  pharmacy. 
The  American  Medical  Association  will  hold  its  sixth  annual

of  June  7  in  connection  with  the  exhibition  of  U.  S.  P.  articles, 
and  has  issued  invitations  to  members  of  other  branches  to  be 
present  and  take  part  in  the  proceedings. 
With  the  well-merited  reputation  of  the  Philadelphia  Branch 
for  presenting  programs  of  unusual  merit  and  the  wide-spread  in- 
terest in  matters  relating  to  the  science  of  pharmacy,  on  the  part 
of  the  medical  practitioners,  there  should  be  no  difficulty  in  making
