SECTIONAL  MEETINGS. 
Simultaneous  sessions  of  the  several  sections  continued  through- 
out the  meeting.  The  program  for  the  Section  on  Scientific 
Papers  as  published  in  the  May  Bulletin  of  the  A.  Ph.  A.  was 
strictly  adhered  to,  thus  making  it  possible  for  those  in  attendance 
to  know  what  was  being  done  in  at  least  this  one  section. 
The  Scientific  Section,  with  M.  I.  Wilbert  as  Chairman,  held 
six  sessions  during  which  about  50  original  communications  were 
read  and  discussed.  The  Chairman's  address  was  devoted  to  a 
consideration  of  lines  of  investigation  and  of  fields  of  inquiry  which 
might  well  claim  our  attention  as  it  relates  to  the  " uplift  movement" 
in  pharmacy.  It  included  a  discussion  of  the  following  subjects: 
(a)  the  pharmacist  and  the  public  health,  (b)  lost  opportunities, 
(c)  the  coming  revision  of  the  U.S. P.  and  (d)  the  coming  era 
in  pharmacy.  The  whole  of  one  session  was  devoted  to  the  con- 
sideration of  the  report  of  the  A.  Ph.  A.  Committee  on  the  U.  S. 
Pharmacopoeia.  Thirty-two  recommendations  were  discussed  and 
finally  approved  by  the  Association  and  several  of  them  were  finally 
incorporated  in  the  "  General  Principles  to  be  followed  in  Revising 
the  Pharmacopoeia  "  adopted  by  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopceial  Con- 
vention. 
The  symposium  on  Physiological  Testing  was  one  of  the  im- 
portant events  of  the  meeting.  The  papers  and  discussion  were 
suggestive,  inspiring  and  forceful.  One  of  the  results  of  this 
symposium  was  the  appointment  of  a  Committee  on  Physiologic
