that he is willing to learn from the experiences of his colleagues 

 and therefore the frequent publications in the pharmaceutical press 

 of just such material as I have ofifered you should be more and 

 more practiced and encouraged. All our ideas do not originate 

 within ourselves, we must learn by absorption and very many of 

 my successful experiments have been the result of reading and 

 lightening to the efforts of other colleagues. 



Any junior clerk without experience or necessary pharmaceutical 

 education can mix five or six or more ingredients if he knows how 

 to measure and to weigh and then if the preparation does not mix 

 or combine puts on the shake label and there it ends. 



In conclusion, I would say, that it should be the pride of every 

 pharmacist to send out from his prescription room a preparation, 

 which he himself feels has been given the benefits of all phar- 

 maceutical knowledge, that is within him, never to say to him- 

 self, that is "GOOD ENOUGH," "THAT IT WILL SERVE 

 THE PURPOSE." He must consider that his duty is fully com- 

 pleted ONLY when his conscience tells him "I DID WHAT WAS 

 RIGHT," and that he would not hesitate to apply the preparation 

 to a member of his own family or even to himself. 



"DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO 

 UNTO YOU." This is the golden rule as should be applied in 

 pharmacy. 



THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL MEETING 



OF THE 



NEW YORK STATE PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 



REPORT OF DELEGATES. 



The Thirty-fifth annual meeting of the New York State Phar- 

 maceutical Association was held at the Catskill Mountain House, 

 June 23rd to June 27th, 1913. In spite of the attractive meeting 

 place, the attendance was limited, falling somewhat below that of 

 the Rochester meeting in 1912. 



Contrary to rumors heard before the meeting was well under 

 way, it finally proved to be harmonious, and there was no con- 

 test for any of the offices. In summing up what was accomplished 

 at this meeting, particularly in the legislative line, procrastination 

 must be charged. Many important matters were left undecided, 

 most of them being referred to the convention to be held in 1914.
