infection,  the  possible  complications,  and  the  lowered  vitality  are 
all  factors  that  make  for  continued  suffering,  and  not  infrequently 
an  untimely  death. 
The  subject  was  further  discussed  by  a  number  of  the  members 
and  visitors  who  were  present,  and  it  was  unanimously  agreed  that 
it  would  be  well  to  endeavor  to  have  the  information  presented  at 
this  meeting  reach  even  a  larger  audience.  On  motion,  Mr.  A.  J. 
Staudt,  Dr.  Henry  Beates,  Jr.,  and  Prof.  Henry  Kraemer  were 
appointed  a  committee  to  secure  copies  of  the  several  communica- 
tions, and,  if  practicable,  have  them  reprinted  in  pamphlet  form  for 
general  distribution  among  retail  druggists. 
At  the  business  session  a  communication  from  Dr.  John  V.  Shoe- 
maker, the  president  of  the  American  Therapeutic  Society,  was 
presented,  and  it  was  agreed  to  hold  a  joint  meeting  with  that 
society  on  the  evening  of  Thursday,  May  7th,  and  also  to  exhibit  a 
line  of  U.S.P.  and  N.F.  preparations  at  the  meetings  of  the  Ameri- 
can Therapeutic  Society. 
A  motion  to  endorse  Mr.  William  L.  Cliffe  as  a  candidate  to  suc- 
ceed himself  as  member  of  the  State  Pharmaceutical  Examining 
Board  was  accepted  by  a  rising  vote. 
Prof.  Henry  Kraemer,  Dr.  H.  C.  Wood,  Jr.,  and  Mr.  R.  H. 
Lackey  were  appointed  a  committee  to  submit  nominations  for 
officers  for  the  coming  year.

The  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  Branch  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association,  on  the  evening  of  Tuesday,  March  3,  1908, 
was  devoted  to  a  discussion  of  the  several  problems  that  are  in-

An  invitation  had  been  extended  to  members  of  the  American

the  discussion,  and  this  association  was  represented  by  members 
from  Philadelphia,  New  York,  Brooklyn,  Jersey  City,  Baltimore  and 
other  places.  There  were  present  also  a  number  of  manufacturers 
of  flavoring  extracts  not  members  of  the  American  Extract  Manu- 
facturers' Association,  and  also  a  number  of  chemists  more  or  less 
directly  affiliated  with  the  extract  trade. 
The  first  communication  on  the  programme  was  a  paper  by  Mr. 
A.  E.  Claus  on   "  Formulae  for  Flavoring  Extracts,"  being  the
