AmAJp0rUu;l9?8arm•}  Pharmaceutical  Meeting.  195 
Mr.  Clawson  admitted  that  there  was  much  to  be  said  on  both 
sides,  but  he  also  believes  that  the  manufacturers  of  flavoring 
extracts  have  made  wonderful  strides  in  improving  their  goods. 
The  subject  was  further  discussed  by  a  number  of  the  members 
and  visitors  present,  and  at  the  conclusion  of  the  discussion  a  vote 
of  thanks  was  extended  to  the  members  of  the  American  Extract 
Manufacturers'  Association  for  their  interest  in  taking  part  in  the 
discussion. 
At  the  business  session,  which  preceded  the  regular  meeting, 
announcement  was  made  of  a  joint  meeting  to  be  held  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Philadelphia  County  Medical  Society,  at  which  com- 
munications were  to  be  presented  by  members  of  the  local  branch. 
A  committee  was  appointed  to  arrange  for  the  details  of  the  joint 
meeting  to  be  held  with  the  American  Therapeutic  Society,  in  May. 
The  program,  as  proposed  for  this  meeting,  is  quite  an  elaborate  one,

cial preparations.
