Mr. Abraham—“ That steps be taken to assimilate the laws which regulate the prac¬ 
tice of pharmacy in Ireland and Great Britain respectively.” 
Mr. Dymond—“ That as the universally expressed feeling of the anniversary meeting 
was in favour of the publicity of the proceedings of the Council of the Society, it is 
expedient that its proceedings be fully reported in the ‘Pharmaceutical Journal,’and 
that reporters desiring to represent other Journals be permitted to be present, but that 
any portion of the proceedings which the Council shall declare to be unsuited for pub¬ 
lication shall not be reported.”
