PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE 
Messrs.  Morgan  Brothers,  of  London,  England,  through  Messrs.  Schieffelin 
Brothers  &  Co.,  of  New  York.  We  notice  several  novelties-  among  the 
collection.  The  assortment  of  Liquids  for  Dyeing  is  somewhat  new. 
Specimens  of  Oil  Bottles,  Pungents,  Lint,  and  Turned  Boxes,  are  also  to 
be  fouud  in  the  collection. 
H.  H.  Burrington,  of  Providence,  E.  I.,  exhibits  a  specimen  of  a  new 
Uterine  Elevator. 
A  large  assortment  of  Hydrometers,  Urinometers,  and  Specific  Gravity 
Instruments,  exhibited  by  the  maker,  Dr.  W.  H.  Pile,  of  Philadelphia, 
merits  the  attention  of  the  Association.  They  have  been  found  to  be  every 
way  worthy  of  confidence  after  long  and  careful  trials. 
Walter  P.  Denslon,  of  New  York,  and  Edward  Parrish,  of  Philadelphia, 
both  exhibit  specimens  of  Gas  Stoves,  which  would  be  found  useful  in 
every  pharmaceutist's  laboratory. 
Messrs.  B.  B.  &  J.  Hagerty,  of  New  York,  present  several  specimens 
of  Glass  Ware,  Glass  Syringes,  Breast  Glasses,  &c.  We  notice  specially 
the  specimen  of  Glass  labelled  shop-bottles,  with  a  label,  indestructible, 
as  far  as  the  action  of  alcohol,  acids  and  such  liquids  is  concerned;  also 
a  glass-capped  Oil-Bottle  and  Graduated  Glass.  They  have  on  exhibition 
a  new  stand  for  Soda-Water  Tumblers.

John  Meakim, 
Dr.  Squibb,  from  the  Business  Committee,  offered  the  following 
preamble  and  resolution  : — 
Whereas,  The  subject  of  legal  restraint  for  curtailing  the  sale  of 
poisons  is  at  present  much  agitated  in  some  States  of  the  Union,  and 
appears  to  be  attracting  universal  attention  :  And  Whereas,  this  Asso- 
ciation has  always  regarded  this  important  subject  as  one  of  the 
reformations  most  desirable  between  pharmaceutists  and  the  public : 
And  Whereas,  Several  bills  have  been  enacted  and  proposed  for  the 
purpose  of  effecting  the  desired  object,  neither  of  which  entirely  meets 
the  approval  of  this  body  ;  therefore, 
Resolved,  That  the  judgment  of  this  Association  be  now  had  upon  the 
subject,  and  that  thereon  a  committee  of  three  be  appointed  to  mature  a 
plan  by  which  the  objects  may  appear  to  be  best  attainable, — that 
committee  to  report  at  the  next  session  of  the  Association. 
Dr.  C.  B.  Guthrie  made  an  eloquent  address  on  the  subject  of 
the  resolution,  alluding  to  the  difficulty  of  deciding  who  were  re- 
sponsible physicians,  to  the  odium  unjustly  resting  upon  the
