sented by  leading  members. 
On  Tuesday,  June  23d,  at  3  p.m.,  President  C.  B.  Lowe  called  the 
first  session  to  order.  The  venerable  secretary,  Dr.  J.  A.  Miller, 
having  died  since  the  last  annual  meeting,  his  duties  were  performed 
by  Acting  Secretary  L.  L.  Walton,  of  Williamsport,  who  read  the 
secretary's  annual  report,  in  which  the  acquisition  of  seventy-six 
new  members  was  chronicled. 
Owing  to  the  absence  of  the  treasurer,  Mr.  J.  L.  Lemberger,  the 
reading  of  the  treasurer's  report  was  postponed,  pending  the  arrival 
of  the  report  by  express. 
The  report  of  the  Executive  Committee  was  read  by  the  chair- 
man, Mr.  L.  L.  Walton,  and  a  statement  was  made  regarding  the 
growth  of  the  Association  during  recent  years,  and  the  methods 
which  have  been  employed  to  increase  the  membership.  Acting 
Secretary  Walton  then  read  a  communication  from  the  N.A.R.D. 
regarding  the  propaganda  work. 
President  Lowe  appointed  a  Committee  on  Nominations,  and  also 
appointed  a  committee  to  draft  resolutions  upon  the  death  of  Dr. 
J.  A.  Miller,  who  had  filled  the  position  of  secretary  during  the 
thirty  years  of  the  existence  of  the  Association.  The  president 
then  called  attention  to  a  movement  against  the  reappointment  of 
W.  L.  ClifTe  as  a  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  State  Examining 
Board,  and  the  importance  of  impressing  Governor  Stuart  of 
Pennsylvania  with  the  necessity  of  continuing  him  in  office.  Upon 
motion,  it  was  decided  to  draft  a  telegram  to  be  sent  to  the  Governor, 
officially  expressing  the  sentiments  of  the  Association  in  behalf 
of  Mr.  ClifTe. 
.  President  Lowe  announced  that  the  secretary  of  the  Retail 
Druggists'  Association  of  Easton  had  extended  an  invitation  to  the 
members  and  their  wives  to  take  a  trolley  ride  around  Easton  on 
Wednesday  at  2  p.m.,  and  that  the  President  of  Lafayette  College 
had  also  given  an  invitation  to  the  members  to  visit  that  institution.
