constantly  testing  their  products.  The  report  was  discussed  by  Mr. 
F.  M.  Apple  and  Dr.  Lowe,  especially  with  reference*  to  the  pur- 
chasing of  goods  upon  an  absolute  guarantee  without  further  inves- 
tigation of  the  character  of  the  product. 
Chairman  LaWall,  of  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries, 
reported  having  in  the  neighborhood  of  fifty  papers,  of  which  more 
than  half  the  authors  were  present.  He  announced  that  at  the 
sessions  for  the  reading  of  papers,  a  time  limit  would  be  established 
for  the  reading  and  discussion  of  the  papers,  and  that  preference 
would  be  given  to  those  of  which  the  authors  were  present  at  the 
meeting.  He  spoke  of  the  added  value  of  the  Proceedings  on  ac- 
count of  the  publication  of  these  papers,  and  also  of  the  standing 
gained  by  the  Association  by  reason  of  the  frequent  publishing  of 
the  papers  read  at  these  meetings  in  the  pharmaceutical  journals, 
full  credit  always  being  given  to  the  Association. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Botany  was  presented  by  Dr. 
A.  W.  Miller. 
The  report  of  Treasurer  Lemberger  was  then  read,  which  stated 
that  all  claims  had  been  paid  and  that  the  Association  still  has  a 
generous  balance  in  the  bank.  There  are  about  800  open  accounts, 
including  the  seventy  new  members  added  during  the  past  year. 
The  receipts  from  every  source  during  the  year  amounted  to 
$1,392.50.  Unexpended  balance  at  the  present  time  amounts  to 
$1,154  09.  The  report  concluded  with  a  touching  tribute  to  Dr. 
J.  A.  Miller,  the  deceased  secretary,  who  had  always  been  referred 
to  as  "the  yoke-lellow  of  the  treasurer."
