 the direction of the chairman of the

 the chairman of the Committee of Mem- 

 bership, Charles Caspari, Jr., Baltimore, 

 Md. Considerable time has been re- 

 quired to secure the acceptance of distant 

 appointees, but the earnest and enthusi- 

 astic letters received from many indicate 

 that the great advantages of membership

 promises to be one of exceptional pro- 

 gress in this direction. The thanks of 

 the Association are due to H. M. Whelp- 

 ley for the practical suggestion.

Every pharmacist of good moral and 

 professional standing, whether in busi- 

 nesss on his own account, retired from, 

 business, or employed by another, and 

 those teachers of pharmacy, botany, and. 

 chemistry and who may be especially 

 interested in pharmacy and ma- 

 teria medica, who, after duly consid- 

 ering the objects of the Association, and 

 the obligations of ' the constitution and 

 by-laws, are willing to subscribe to them, 

 are eligible to membership. 



The large volume of proceedings issued 

 annually to the members containing the 

 valuable and exhaustive report on the 

 progress of pharmacy, embracing all of 

 prime value that has appeared in the 

 leading chemical and pharmaceutical' 

 journals in this country and Europe, is 

 of greater value than the membership 

 fee. It is hoped that the druggists of each 

 section will have a local pride in aiding 

 the members of the committee represent- 

 ing them to present to the next annual 

 meeting at Asheville, N. C, the largest 

 accession of members ever secured. 



The following sections have not re- 

 sponded, and the president would be 

 pleased to have volunteers offer their 

 services: 



Florida, South Carolina, Washington. 

 State, North Dakota and W5'oming. 



Edgar L. Patch, President.
