ciation  are  the  first  to  be  published,  and  Secretary  Whelpley  is 
to  be  congratulated,  not  alone  for  his  promptness,  but  also  for 
presenting  so  complete  a  report  in  the  short  time  intervening.  The 
book  contains  177  pages  and  is  liberally  illustrated.  The  meeting 
of  the  Missouri  Association  was  held  in  Maryville,  June  14-17, 
19 10,  and  was  quite  an  innovation  in  that  the  members  occupied 
a  tent  city. 
The  meeting  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation will  no  doubt  serve  to  arouse  interest,  not  alone  in  Penn- 
sylvania, but  throughout  the  several  states  of  the  Union.  A 
comprehensive  legislative  program  was  outlined  and  put  in  effect 
the  resulting  laws  will  establish  for  American  pharmacy  a  new 
and  decidedly  higher  ideal  than  has  been  evidenced  heretofore. 
In  the  matter  of  scientific  papers  the  Pennsylvania  Association 
again  leads  all  of  its  competitors  and  the  association  honored  itself 
by  electing  to  the  presidency  Prof.  Chas.  H.  LaWall  who,  for  a 
number  of  years,  has  been  directly  responsible  for  the  unusually 
large  number  of  papers  read  at  the  meetings  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Pharmaceutical  Association. 
The  American  Chemical  Society. — The  summer  meeting  of 
this  society  was  held  in  the  city  of  San  Francisco,  July  12-15, 
1910,  and  while  not  so  largely  attended  as  some  of  the  previous 
meetings  in  the  eastern  section  of  the  United  States,  appears  to 
have  been  thoroughly  satisfactory  to  the  members  who  had  an 
opportunity  to  attend. 
American  Medical  Association. — The  sixty-first  annual  meet- 
ing of  this  association  was  held  in  the  city  of  St.  Louis,  June  6-10, 
1910.  From  published  reports  it  would  appear  that  from  a  scientific 
or  an  organization  point  of  view  the  meeting  was  a  complete  success. 
The  attendance  was  a  little  over  four  thousand,  a  number  ex- 
ceeded only  by  the  meeting  in  Chicago,  in  1908,  and  Boston,  in  1906. 
Every  section  is  reported  as  having  held  profitable  sessions  and 
the  attendance  at  the  section  meetings  is  said  to  have  been  unusually 
good. 
The  sessions  of  the  Section  on  Pharmacology  and  Thera- 
peutics "were  unusually  interesting  to  pharmacists  and  many  of 
the  local  men  took  advantage  of  the  opportunity  to  attend  and 
take  part  in  the  discussions. 
The  pharmacists  of  St.  Louis  also  made  a  practical  contribution 
to  U.S. P.  and  N.F.  propaganda  work  by  exhibiting  a  number  of
