Arons,  and  W.  H.  Addersley,  of  Cincinnati. 
The  roll  was  then  called. 
(It  was  a  source  of  regret  to  the  Association  that  so  many  of 
its  members  were  absent ;  the  causes  assigned  had  reference 
chiefly  to  the  prevalence  of  epidemic  cholera  in  the  Eastern 
cities,  requiring  the  presence  of  pharmaceutists  at  their  posts,  or 
to  indisposition.) 
On  motion,  a  Committee  was  selected  to  nominate  permanent 
officers  for  the  Association,  consisting  of  William  Procter,  Jr., 
W.  H.  Coolidge,  C.  A.  Smith,  H.  T.  Cummings,  H.  Creighton, 
and  S.  M.  Colcord.

Maine;  John  Meakim,  of  New  York;  Joseph  Laidley,  of 
Richmond,  Virginia. 
For  Treasurer. — Samuel  M.  Colcord,  of  Boston. 
For  Recording  Secretary — Edward  S.  Wayne,  of  Cincinnati. 
For  Corresponding  Secretary. — William  Procter,  Jr.,  of

For  Executive  Committee. — Edward  Parrish,  of  Philadel- 
phia, Chairman;  C.  B.  Guthrie,  of  Memphis;  and  A.  M.

The  report  of  the  Committee  was  accepted,  and  on  separate 
ballots  the  nominees  were  elected  to  the  several  offices  for  the 
ensuing  year. 
The  President  elect  on  being  conducted  to  the  Chair,  returned 
his  thanks  to  the  Association  for  the  honor  conferred,  and
