Names  of  drug  products  bearing  any  of  the  names  of  the  in- 
gredients enumerated  in  the  act  are  construed  as  representing 
"  preparations  "  within  the  meaning  of  the  act ;  and  if  the  same  are 
clearly  declared  upon  the  label  as  required  by  Regulations  17  and 
30,  it  will  not  be  necessary  to  give  the  actual  amount  of  the  primary 
drugs  used  or  represented  by  such  article.  It  is  desirable,  however, 
that  the  word  or  words  used  in  the  law  shall  constitute  the  first 
part  of  the  name  of  the  product.  For  example  :  "  Opium,  Tincture 
of";  "Cannabis  Indica,  Extract  of,"  followed  by  the  amount  of 
tincture  or  extract  used.

life  as  that  of  one  of  the  most  able,  indefatigable  and  conscientious  of  public- 
spirited  pharmacists  of  this  country. 
Resolved,  That  Mr.  Bbert,  for  some  years  editor  of  the  American  Pharmacist,

co-operate  with  the  editors  in  a  frank  and  liberal  manner.    Be  it  further 
Resolved,  That  we  heartily  endorse  the  plan  of  erecting  an  Ebert  memorial 
monument  and  will  render  the  movement  material  assistance. 
Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  furnished  the  Committee  on 
Memorial  Volume  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  also  be
