Third  General  Session. — On  Friday  evening  an  extra  general 
session  was  held  which  was  mainly  devoted  to  a  discussion  on  the 
time  and  place  of  next  meeting.  As  there  was  a  strong  desire  on 
the  part  of  the  members  to  arrange  to  hold  a  meeting  simultaneously 
with  the  National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  it  was  decided  to 
leave  the  matter  in  the  hands  of  the  Council  with  power  to  act. 
At  this  session  it  was  reported  that  265  new  members  had  been 
elected  during  the  past  year.  A  resolution  was  passed  suspending 
the  by-laws  during  the  meeting  next  year  so  as  to  allow  additional 
time  for  the  Section  on  Scientific  Papers.  This  Committee  will 
probably  arrange  for  seven  continuous  sessions,  allowing  ample 
time  for  the  reading  of  papers  and  discussions  thereon. 
The  greetings  of  the  American  Medical  Association  were  pre- 
sented through  Dr.  C.  Travis  Drennen,  former  President  of  the 
Arkansas  Medical  Association.  Dr.  J.  C.  Miner  of  the  Hot  Springs 
Medical  Society  also  spoke  for  the  local  Medical  Society.  Professor 
Remington  responded  for  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  United  States  Pharmacopoeia  of 
the  Association  was  read  by  Professor  Hallberg.  The  Committee 
on  the  William  Procter,  Jr.  Monument  Fund  presented  a  report
