C.  H.  La  Wall  took  charge  of  the  meeting,  and  a  paper  was 
read  by  Mr.  M.  I.  Wilbert  on  "  The  Trend  of  Education  in  Matters 
Medical,"  which  was  illustrated  by  specimens  of  preparations. 
Mr.  J.  Percy  Remington  then  read  a  paper  on  "  Capsule  Filling," 
and  gave  a  demonstration  of  a  new  device  for  filling  dry  capsules  at 
the  prescription  counter. 
Prof.  I.  V.  S.  Stanislaus  then  read  a  paper,  entitled  "A  Few 
Laboratory  Notes,"  in  which  he  gave  practical  working  formulas  for 
several  unofficial  preparations  in  frequent  demand. 
Mr.  Ambrose  Hunsberger  read  a  paper  on  "  Strontium  Bromide

Mr.  E.  Fullerton  Cook,  on  "A  Professional  Pharmacy/' 
The  meeting  then  adjourned  until  2.30  p.m. 
At  2.30  p.m.,  after  the  reading  of  the  minutes  of  the  morning's 
session,  a  reply  was  read  from  the  Governor,  acknowledging  the 
receipt  of  the  telegram  sent  him  with  reference  to  the  appointment

read  a  paper,  entitled  "  Can  Uniform,  and  Therefore,  Standard  Tinc-

The  paper  by  Dr.  Samuel  G.  Dixon,  in  answer  to  the  query  as  to 
whether  the  distribution  of  free  antitoxin  by  the  State  Health  De- 
partment was  worth  while,  was  read  by  Mr.  E.  F.  Heffner.  Dr. 
Dixon  emphatically  answers  this  question  in  the  affirmative,  giving

many  times  in  excess  of  the  cost.

which  occasioned  quite  a  discussion,  participated  in  by  Professor
