The  Iowa  Pharmaceuticai.  Association  held  its  third  annual  meet- 
ing at  Des  Moines  on  February  14th  and  15th,  the  President,  George  B. 
Hogin,  in  the  chair  ;  Eniil  L.  Boerner,  Secretary.  The  President  deliv- 
ered his  annual  address  and  reports  were  read  from  the  Secretary,  Treas- 
urer and  Executive  Committee.  Charges  had  been  preferred  against  the 
former  Secretary,  H.  W.  Dodd,  which,  after  having  been  investigated  by 
a  special  committee,  resulted  in  the  adoption  of  a  resolution  expelling  Mr. 
Dodd  from  the  Association.  Reports  were  also  read  from  the  various 
standing  and  special  committees  and  considerable  discussion  ensued  on 
the  subjects  of  trade  interests  and  amendments  to  the  pharmacy  law.  A 
memorial  to  the  Legislature  was  adoj^ted  and  signed  by  the  members  pres- 
ent, recommending  to  so  amend  the  j^harmacy  law  as  to  make  its  language 
unequivocal,  with  the  view  of  preventing  abuses  in  the  traffic  of  liquors 
under  the  guise  of  a  druggist ;  amendments  were  also  recommended  favor- 
ing an  annual  registration  tax  of  $1.00,  ri^quiring  the  prominent  display  of 
the  certificate  of  registration  and  forfeiting  the  right  of  re-registration, 
except  by  examination,  to  those  who  are  registered  by  reason  of  being  in 
business  at  the  passage  of  the  pharmacy  act  and  who  discontinue  the  drug- 
business  for  twelve  months. 
The  officers  elected  for  the  ensuing  year  are  A.  R.  Townsend,  of  Boone, 
President;  J.  W.  Ellis,  of  Patterson,  C.  R.  Wallace,  of  Independence, 
and  W.  C.  Bryant,  of  Cedar  Falls,  Vice  Presidents ;  Emil  L.  Boerner,  of 
Iowa  City,  Secretary  ;  C.  H.  Ward,  of  Des  Moines,  Treasurer,  and  Norman 
Lichty,  of  Des  Moines,  J.  A.  Treat,  of  Stuart,  and  Gust.  Schlegel,  of 
Davenport,  Executive  Committee. 
The  various  standing  committees  were  appointed  and,  after  passing  votes 
of  thank«  to  the  President  and  other  officers,  the  Association  adjourned  to 
meet  next  year  at  Davenport.

the  meeting  had  been  stated  and  the  various  committees  appointed,  steps 
were  at  once  taken  for  organization,  and  a  committee  on  constitution, 
by-laws  and  code  of  ethics  was  appointed,  to  report  at  a  meeting  to  be  held 
March  15th.
