pharmacists who will attend the Elev-
eEth Annual Meeting of the National
Medical Association in the city Au-
gust q.
The generous hospitality of Boston
people is proverbial The Citizens
Committee, composed of two hundred
of the most prominent men, and the
clubs of ladies named after the va
rious practicing physicians and den
lists of the city, are actively en-
gagged in planning a hearty welcome for |
all who may honor them by their pres
ence during the meeting of the Asso-
cation. Never before in the history
of the organization have the people of
any city visited by the Association,
demonstrated greater interest or
shown more enthusiasm in the COM
ing of able men and women to this
community than the people of Boston
and New England are exhibiting at
this moment.
Some very unusual and epoch-mak
ing concessions have already been
made by the city authorities to the
end that the visiting doctors may
have the widest scope for the exercise
of their skill in the various branches
of their profession. The Oldest, larg-
est and best equipped hospital in New
England, the Massachusetts, General,
will be opened to them, and contact
with the ablest white scientific spe-
ciatists of New England will be af-
forded every visiting physician The
splendid scientific exhibits of the Bos-
ton City and Plymouth Hospitals, the
clinical exhibits as well as the Oppor-
tunity for clinical demonstrations will
be features sufficiently attractive to
the alert practitioner to warrant the
trip to historic Boston, the Hub of the
!, Universe.
AS an indication of what Bostonians
are doing in the way of providing for
, the entertainment Of the visitors, It
is well to call attention to the enthus-
astic demonstration in the Charles
. Street African Methodist Episcopal
= Church on Sunday afternoon, July
. 25th. In this historical landmark Of
: cultured Boston, gathered the largest
o and most representative audience of
colored people seen together for a
> number of years. 1t was truly "the
seasons greatest occasion" 1t was
given under tho head of Musicale
