satisfactory performance of their duties, and that they should 

 receive adequate compensation, is timely, and one which this body 

 should convey to the Pharmacopoeia Convention when it meets. 



Mr. Plant : — I think we all understand it much more clearly now, 

 and my remarks were meant to call out just such an explanation. 



In regard to the section requiring notice of all proposals for 

 changes and tests to be given in the pharmaceutical press before 

 adoption I do not know just how that will work out, and I would 

 like to hear from Mr. Main on that point. 



Mr. Main : — I think that has been proposed before. I talked with 

 one of the members of the last Committee on Revision, and he 

 said that he and his associates had so much difficulty in getting 

 responses from the men on the commission of twenty-five that he 

 considered it would be impracticable to get the consensus of 

 opinion of the entire trade, as it were, but I believe, and the mem- 

 bers of my committee believe, that it would be far better for the 

 Committee on Revision to have comments on the proposed changes 

 of standards and tests sent in before the adoption of a new clause 

 rather than afterward. It would not be necessary for them to 

 answer all of these comments, but you can see the advantage to 

 the trade at large. 



We will assume that the committee has under consideration the 

 revising of a certain standard. If a notice was sent to the phar- 

 maceutical press that it was proposed to change a certain standard, 

 naturally every one of you gentlemen interested would look into 

 the proposition, and if you saw any objection to the change you 

 would hasten to send your objection to the committee, which would 

 be fully considered by the committee before that change was made, 

 and therefore it appears to us that the widest publicity should be 

 given in the future to all proposed changes in the standards or 

 tests in the Pharmacopoeia, so that when the new Pharmacopoeia 

 is promulgated it shall be practically a perfect work, and I believe 

 a more perfect work can be secured if publicity is given in advance 



to all proposed changes.
