MINUTES  OF  THE 
Mr.  E.  Milhau  made  some  verbal  remarks  on  pills  coated  witli 
gelatin  and  honey,  by  the  new  process  of  Cauhape  &  Co.,  which 
he  deemed  a  great  improvement  on  sugar  coating,  as  the  pills 
need  not  be  dried  before  coating  and  the  latter  was  much  thinner 
than  sugar  coating. 
Mr.  Hirsh  read  a  paper  on  Glyconin  (?)  a  compound  of 
glycerin  and  yelk  of  egg ;  and  another  on  an  indelible  anilin 
ink. 
Mr.  Taylor  moved  that  the  Association  adjourn  to  meet  on 
board  the  boat,  (an  excursion  on  Lake  Michigan  having  been 
planned  for  the  afternoon). 
Mr.  Menninger  hoped  the  business  would  be  transacted  now, 
as  many  members  would  go  on  the  afternoon  trains  East  and , 
South. 
The  Business  Committee  moved  that  when  the  Association 
adjourns  it  adjourns  to  meet  in  Baltimore,  the  second  Monday 
of  September,  1869,  at  3  o'clock,  P.  M.,  which  was  agreed  to. 
Mr.  Procter,  from  the  Nominating  Committee,  reported  the 
name  of  Prof.  J.  Faris  Moore,  of  Baltimore,  for  Local  Secretary, 
and  a  ballot  deposited  by  the  President,  on  motion  of  Dr. 
Squibb,  effected  his  election. 
A  paper  by  Mr.  Hoagland  was  read  by  title  and  referred. 
All  queries  remaining  unanswered  and  not  otherwise  disposed 
of  were  directed  to  be  dropped. 
Mr.  Menninger  said  it  would  be  impossible  for  the  Committee 
on  Specimens  to  make  a  full  Report  at  present.  The  Chairman, 
Mr.  Fuller,  is  actively  engaged,  and  the  sub-reports  were  ready, 
but  the  general  report  will  have  to  be  handed  to  the  Executive 
Committee  when  completed. 
On  motion  this  course  was  allowed,  and  the  Committee  duly 
authorized. 
Mr.  Colcord  now  called  attention  to  a  new  kind  of  wooden 
pill  boxes,  made  with  great  skill  and  neatness  by  glueing  two 
varieties  of  wood  together  cross-grained,  so  as  to  make  them  strong 
whilst  very  thin  and  quite  smooth  and  tight. 
The  minutes  of  the  session  were  now  read  and  approved.  ^ 
The  Association  then  adjourned  to  meet  in  Baltimore,  on  the 
second  Tuesday  of  September,  1870,  at  3  o'clock  P.  M.
