bright, as evidenced by the Nashville ladies. It, was good to be there." Attendance: While the attendance was not so large as was hoped and anticipated, it was eminently a successful meeting. Many from the South were detained by quarantine measures, others in the North were apprehensive of approaching so near the line where such were demanded, yet there were others of the "Old Guard" of this lively and progressive organization on hand. Although Griffin, of Illinois, Owens and Larrabee, of Kentucky, the two former ex-presidents, the latter an ex-vice-president, ex-secretary Woodburn, and others had crossed the silent river; and Love, of Missouri, detained by the serious illness of an only son, and yet others kept away by like personal affliction or unexpected and imperative duties due to the afflictions of the others, there was a sufficiency of old members on hand to lead the way or hold down the new blood that was infused into the association which will be found in the following new members who were favorably reported on by the committee and elected at this meeting.

THE EXHIBITS.

One of the most attractive features of the meeting was the Senate Chamber, which had been appropriated to the use of those who had medical and surgical appliances that they wished to bring directly and personally before the members of the Association. The handsome hall, 75x35 feet, with its lofty ceiling, and large windows affording a flood of light to its every part, never looked so inviting; each exhibitor vieing with the others in his efforts to make a handsome display.

Immediately on the right of the entrance and along the south wall was the very handsome and beautifully arranged stand of Messrs. Fairchild's Bros. & Foster, of New York, its pyramidal structure fiilled with their Panopepton, Peptogonic Milk Powder, Pancreatinin and other digestive preparations.

Next was the display of the products of the bacteriologic laboratories of John T. Millikin & Co., of St. Louis, which are under the directorship of Dr. Carl Fisch, and consisted of the new Tuberculin, T. R., Tuberculinum Kochii, and Antiphthisic, Antisreptococcic, Antidiphtheritic and Antipneumococcic Serums.

His neighbor to the east was the grand display of Effervescent Granular Salts, of Keasbey & Mattison, of Ambler, Pa., mounted on shelves covered with navy blue cloth, and surmounted by "Old Glory" and a handsome life-sized lithograph of Admiral Dewey.

Theo. Tafel, the well known surgical instrument maker and dealer of this city, occupied the southeast corner with as handsome, attractive and excellent display of instruments, of latest and most approved design, as has ever been placed before an assemblage of this character. It was but a miniature representation of the magnificent stock he carries in his commodious storehouse and manufactory on North Cherry street, and being himself a manufacturer not excelled in the entire country, having served some years effectively in the factory of the celebrated Tieman, he had and has justly no reason to fear competition.

On the east side of the hall the spaces on either side of the Speaker's rostrum were occupied by the Trommer Extract of Malt Co., of Fremont, Ohio, with their various malt preparations, plain, or combined with cod liver oil, hypophosphites, etc.; and the Maltine Co. of Brooklyn, N. Y., with their very excellent Maltiue, which they claim is not merely malt, nor a mere extract or essence of malt, but the most highly concentrated extraction of all the nutritive and digestive properties of wheat, oats and malted barley. Both displays were handsomely mounted and arranged.

The first space at the north end of the hall was occupied by the well known and standard Imperial Granum, a pure and palatable food for the baby, the invalid, the convalescent and the aged, which continues to give the most satisfactory results wherever tried. The Imperial Granum Co., of New Haven, Conn., was very ably represented and had a very pretty and attractive display. The Arlington Chemical Co., of Yonkers, N. Y., occupied the adjoining space with a very nice display of their preparations in the care of Mr. F. L. Landis.

Tarrant & Co., of New York, sole agent for Leopold Hoff's Malt also had a very nice display at this end of the room, where their nourishing and strengthening beverage, ice-cold, was profusely and liberally offered to all who were thirsty.

Along the west wall was arranged the following, beginning at the entrance: The Inland Chemical Co., of Indianapolis, with their laxative; Emil Willbrandt Co., of St. Louis, with a good display of surgical instruments; the Harvard Chair Co., with one of their most excellent and well arranged and adapted surgical chairs; The Pulvola Chemical Co., of New York, with their baby powder, the best of its kind; the White Rock Mineral Springs Co., of Waukesha, with a beautiful array and an abundant supply of ice-cold, and tempting on the hot days of the meeting, of their inimitable and unsurpassed water from the White Rock Springs, which is kept in stock and sold in any quantity by Messrs. Demoville & Co., of this city. D. Appleton & Co. closing up the line with a grand display of their latest medical and surgical books.

In the centre of the hall the displays occupied a double row, arranged back to back, and first on the list was the Mellier Drug Co., of St. Louis, in charge of Mr. Albin Mellier, facing west, with their preparation of Ton galine, liquid and in tablets, a preparation that has proven so effective in the relief of rheumatism and neuralgia as to almost become a household word throughout the land.

Facing east Armour & Co., of Chicago, with their pepsins had a very handsome display. Their preparations of Bone Marrow, Predigested Beef and Thyroid Extract need no commendation at our hands.

The Horlich Ford Co., of Racine, Wis., facing west, with their Malted Milk, was backed by the H. K. Wampole & Co., of Philadeldhia, with their beantiful preparations of cod liver oil, pure, and tasteless, together with a brilliant array of pills, sugar and gelatine coated, granules and other pharmaceuticals.

C. Bischoff & Co., of New York, facing west, represented by Dr. P. Caspers, had a very pretty display of their Kryofine, an analgesic and antipyretic that is rapidly attaining popularity, and is justly appreciated wherever tried, was backed by the Pneumachemic Co., of Cincinnati, represented by Dr. John Robinson.

William R. Warner & Co., of Philadeldhta, so widely known as the manufacturers of gelatin and sugar-coated pills, which are the standard of excellence and have received awards of merit wherever exhibited, whether in London, Paris, or the great World Fair at Chicago, had a beautiful exhibit of their pills, granules and galenical preparations, and were ably looked after by their energetic and affable representative, Mr. Roach. This display and that of the Globe Nelulizer Co., of Battle Creek, Mich., both looking west, were backed by the well known establishment of Messrs. Parke, Davis & Co., whose display was in charge of Mr. Steiner, so well known in the South and Southwest, assisted by Mr. Jokichi Takamine, of Japan, the originator of their latest digestive prep
