"  So  as  I  close  this  address,  I  ask  you  to  turn  your  faces  toward 
the  rising  sun ;  feast  your  eyes  on  visions  of  a  brighter  day,  towards 
which  we  are  all  working,  as  we  seek  to  promote  true  pharmacy 
by  education,  by  legislation,  and  by  steady,  persistent  efforts  to 
develop  a  scientific,  practical  and  ethical  pharmacy."
