NOTES  AND  NEWS. 
The  Proceedings  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation for  1908  appeared  in  the  early  part  of  1909,  and  constitute 
a  volume  which  reflects  credit  upon  American  pharmacy.  The 
editing  by  the  General  Secretary,  Professor  Caspari,  has  been  well 
done.  Considering  the  size  of  the  book  and  the  responsibility  in- 
volved in  its  publication,  it  has  appeared  with  a  promptness  that 
should  be  gratifying  to  the  members  of  the  association.

interesting  historical  matter.  The  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy  is 
now  a  department  of  the  University.
