discussions  that  while  there  might  be  differences  of  opinion,  yet 
every  one  was  loyal  to  the  Association  and  had  the  true  interests 
of  pharmacy  at  heart.  The  result  was  effective  work  in  the  sections 
and  general  sessions,  which  must  in  a  measure  give  an  impetus 
to  the  work  of  the  branches  this  winter. 
First  General  Session. — The  opening  session  was  held  at  the  East- 
man Hotel  on  the  Government  Promenade  on  Monday,  September

received  in  a  most  happy  speech  of  appreciation  by  President  Searby 
and  we  could  not  help  but  feel  that  it  was  this  incident  and  the 
impromptu  address  of  the  President  that  did  much  to  make  the 
meeting  pleasant  as  well  as  profitable.
