Retiring President Diamond, as chairman of the legislative com- 

 mittee, reported at length upon the various pharmacy measures 

 which had been introduced at the recent session of the legislature. 

 He gave it as the committee's opinion that the Brown bill was

 as early in the conference he had objected to this guaranty, and 

 submitted one of his own which eliminated the jobber from any 

 responsibility to retail pharmacists for goods sold by them. 



As regards further efforts for a new pharmacy law, it was re- 

 solved that the association stand firmly for a voice in the selec-

The association decided to reaffiliate with the N. A. R. D. on 

 last year's basis for the payment of dues. 



Dr. Joseph Kahn, chairman of the committee on adulterations, 

 made a very interesting report, and emphasiaed some of the points

 being well lived up to. 



Dr. Joseph Weinstein, for the committee on new remedies, made 

 a comprehensive report, and deprecated the influx of so many new 

 remedies which varied only in name and not in medicinal virtue or 

 composition. 



It was decided to continue the propaganda work which had been 

 carried on so efficiently by Dr. Anderson.
