tical Association,  reported  that  the  meeting  was  held  at  Cape  May, 
N.  J.,  June  14-17.  This  was  the  fortieth  annual  meeting  of  the  old- 
est state  pharmaceutical  association  in  America.  Mr.  Edward  A. 
Sayre,  of  Newark,  presented  an  excellent  historical  address,  describ-

some  of  the  problems  and  papers  discussed  during  this  period.

maceutical subjects.  A  communication  from  the  women's  organiza- 
tion of  the  National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  directed  atten- 
tion to  the  distasteful  methods  of  advertising  certain  wares  sold 
by  druggists.  Resolutions  were  adopted  strongly  endorsing  the 
attitude  of  the  association,  pledging  the  support  of  the  members  to 
suppress  all  forms  of  improper  advertisements. 
A  special  committee  was  appointed  to  draft  a  new  pharmacy  law 
to  include  a  prerequisite  clause,  a  proper  definition  of  rural  dis- 
tricts, and  a  revised  schedule  of  poisons.  The  next  meeting  of  the 
association  will  be  held  at  Asbury  Park.
