Mr. Thomas J. Keenan, chairman of the Committee on New 

 Remedies, presented a list of i68 recent additions to the materia 

 medica, calHng especial attention to the increasing use of serums 

 and organo-therapeutic preparations. 



Resolutions, expressing the appreciation of the Association in 

 the matter of assistance rendered in securing the passage of the
