446  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  {An^Jgust,Pimm' 
A  letter  from  C.  E.  Reynolds,  Apothecary,  U.  S.  Navy,  was  read,  inclosing 
the  draft  of  a  bill  for  the  granting  of  a  warrant  to  the  Apothecaries  of  the 
Navy.  The  chairman  and  secretary  of  the  section  were  duly  authorized  to 
memorialize  Congress  in  favor  of  the  bill. 
Attention  was  called  to  the  fact  that  for  two  years  the  Committee  on  Legisla- 
tion had  neglected  to  report  the  newly  enacted  or  amended  pharmacy  laws  for 
publication  in  the  Proceedings.  The  committee  to  be  appointed  was  instructed 
to  collect  them,  as  far  as  possible,  for  publication  in  the  next  volume,  and  to 
report  others  next  year. 
The  Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Legislation  for  the  ensuing  year  is  the 
same  as  that  for  the  preceding  section,  and  consists  of  Messrs.  P.  W.  Bedford, 
A.  B.  Stevens  and  H.  M.  Whitney. 
The  final  session  of  the  Association  took  place  on  Friday  morning,  June  28th. 
After  the  reading  of  the  minutes  of  the  preceding  sessions  and  of  the  Council, 
the  report  on  the  president's  address  was  received  and  the  following  resolu- 
tions were  adopted  : 
1.  That  the  Council  be  directed  to  practice  rigid  economy  in  regard  to  ex- 
penditures and  appropriations  until  our  indebtedness  is  paid  and  we  have 
accumulated  a  surplus  of  at  least  $2000. 
2.  That  the  Secretary  be  directed  to .  devote  a  page  in  each  volume  of  our 
published  Proceedings  to  the  "Ebert,"  the  "  Centennial "  and  the  "Life  Mem- 
bership "  funds,  and  that  upon  this  page  shall  be  printed  a  brief  history  of  tbe 
origin,  money  value  and  use  to  which  the  proceeds  of  each  fund  may  be 
applied. 
Mr.  Simmon  moved  an  amendment  to  the  by-laws  with  the  object  of  con- 
solidating the  sections  on  education  and  legislation.  The  subject  lies  over  until 
next  year. 
Mr.  Chas.  E.  Dohme,  of  Baltimore,  was  elected  local  secretary,  and  Mr.  J. 
H.  Redsecker,  of  Lebanon,  Pa.,  a  member  of  Council  in  the  place  of  Mr. 
Painter. 
Mr.  Eliel  moved  that  hereafter  the  printing  of  the  papers  for  use  at  the 
meetings  be  discontinued;  but  accepted  an  amendment  offered  by  Mr.  Sim- 
mon, which  wTas  adopted,  that  the  cost  of  printing  should  not  exceed  $100. 
The  installation  of  officers  was  then  proceeded  with.  Secretary  Maisch 
stated  that  the  office  of  permanent  secretary  was  first  created  in  1865,  when  he 
was  nominated  for  this  position  without  his  knowledge  ;  that  he  resigned  in 
1869,  but  was  subsequently  induced  to  withdraw  his  resignation;  that  now, 
having  been  elected  for  the  twenty-fifth  year,  he  considered  it  but  just  to  him- 
self and  the  Association  to  present  his  resignation,  to  take  effect  next  year. 
Votes  of  thanks  were  passed  to  the  retiring  officers,  the  local  secretary,  the 
druggists  of  the  Pacific  slope,  their  wives  and  ladies,  the  daily  press,  and  to  the 
citizens  in  general. 
The  president  was  empowered  to  appoint  three  delegates  to  the  national  con- 
vention for  the  revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia;  also  a  committee  of  five  on 
Arrangements,  of  which  the  Local  Secretary  shall  be  chairman  ;  this  committee 
to  be  also  the  Committee  on  Entertainments. 
The  Association  then  adjourned,  to  meet  again  at  Old  Point  Comfort,  Va.,  on
