STATE PHARHACEUTICAL ORQANIZA= 

 TIONS. 



Since the last issue of The Alumni 

 Journal the representative pharmacists, 

 all over the land, have either attended or 

 contemplated attending or, at least, have 

 watched with some interest the meetings 

 of their respective State organizations. 

 Hardly was the May issue of The 

 Alumni Journal in the hands of its 

 subscribers before the Delaware Pharma- 

 ceutical Association held its annual meet- 

 ing at Wilmington. The Louisiana 

 Pharmaceutical Association convened in 

 New Orleans and the paper that attracted 

 some attention was upon " Pharmaceuti- 

 cal Specialties as Prepared by Manufac- 



turing Chemists," by M. T. Breslin. It 

 was construed as an attack upon the 

 manufacturers of drugs and chemicals — 

 many of whom are supplying goods of 

 inferior quality. The Georgia Pharma- 

 ceutical Association convened in Ameri- 

 cus, at which meeting valuale papers 

 were read by F. Joerges, J. P. Turner, 

 S. C. Durban, J. W. Goodwyn, H. Sharp 

 and C. M. Crosby. 



The Kentucky State Pharmaceutical 

 Association met at Paris, May 16-17. 

 The following papers were read : ' ' Local 

 Organization," by Addison Dunmitt ; 

 *'New Proprietary Remedies," by J. 

 P. Barnum ; "Facts from the Prescrip- 

 tion File," by C. S. Porter; "Glycerin 

 of Commerce," by G. Holzhauer ; "Arti- 

 ficial Carlsbald Salts," by Charles I. Al- 

 bus ; "The Microscope in Pharmacy," 

 by Louis Rominger ; "Creosote of Com- 

 merce," by G. Holzhauer; "Syrup of 

 Hydriodic Acid," by O. C. Dilly ; 

 "Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil," by G. 

 Holzhauer ; "How the Physician can be 

 influenced to prescribe the preparations 

 of the National Formulary," by G. Holz- 

 hauer. One of the association prizes was 

 awarded to C. S. Porter for his paper on 

 "Facts from the Prescription File," and 

 the other to Louis Rominger for his 

 paper, "The Microscope in Pharmacy." 

 At the same time the Tennessee Drug- 

 gists' Association met at Chattanooga. 

 A number of papers were read; an amend- 

 ment to the pharmacy law was considered 

 favorably. Also the Florida Pharmaceuti- 

 cal Association met at Tampa. E.A.Phil- 

 lips read a paper on "State Associations," 

 J. M. Dixon on "Saw Palmetto and its 

 Products;" J. D. Palmer on "Druggists' 

 Associations." During May the New 

 Jersey Pharmaceutical Association also 

 convened. The meeting was held at 

 Asbury Park. The tollowing papers 

 were read by H. J. Lohmann : "The use 

 of Asbestos Filtration and Tablets and
