The  committee  also  recommended  that  Bedford  Springs  be  selected

with  Mr.  C.  H.  Marcy,  of  Altoona,  as  local  secretary. 
The  report  of  the  committee  was  accepted,  the  candidates  as 
nominated  were  unanimously  elected,  and  the  recommendations  of 
the  time  and  place  for  the  next  meeting  were  unanimously  approved. 
The  report  of  the  Auxiliary  Committee  on  Membership,  which 
was  headed  by  Prof.  J.  P.  Remington  and  Mr.  Louis  Emanuel,  was 
read  by  Professor  Remington.  It  was  stated  that  while  the  growth 
of  the  Association  had  not  reached  the  phenomenal  figures  of  the 
previous  year,  there  had  been  sufficient  increase  to  bring  the  total 
membership  figures  above  the  1,000  mark,  which  places  it  at  the 
head  of  all  State  associations.  A  list  of  the  individual  members 
who  had  greatly  aided  the  committee  was  then  read,  after  which  the 
report  of  the  committee  was  received  with  the  unanimous  thanks  of 
those  present. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  President's  Address  was  then 
presented  by  the  chairman,  W.  L.  Cliffe.  The  recommendations  of 
the  committee  were  taken  up  singly  for  discussion  and  adoption, 
after  which  the  report  was  unanimously  adopted  as  a  whole.  The 
recommendations  which  were  adopted  included  the  endorsement  of 
the  Miles  plan,  the  recommendation  of  the  passage  of  an  act  amend- 
ing the  pharmacy  law  so  that  the  applicant  for  a  registered  manager's 
certificate  will  have  to  show  a  diploma  from  some  accredited  college 
of  pharmacy,  the  payment  of  a  per  capita  tax  to  the  N.A.R.D.  on 
all  members  in  good  standing  on  July  I,  1 904,  and  the  endorsement 
of  the  Mann  H.  R.  bill  No.  13,679. 
Mr.  C.  H.  LaWall  then  read  a  paper  in  which  attention  was  called 
to  the  prophetic  character  of  the  conclusions  arrived  at  by  Joseph 
Priestley  in  his  paper  on  "  Dephlogisticated  Air."  The  meeting 
then  adjourned  until  2.30  p.m. 
The  whole  of  the  Thursday  afternoon  session  and  the  early  part 
of  the  evening  session  of  the  same  day  was  devoted  to  the  reading
