Professor  Sadtler,  chairman  of  the  Publication  Committee,  re- 
ported in  part  as  follows  :  "  It  has  been  customary  to  publish  an 
index  of  the  Journal  about  every  ten  years.  The  last  decennial 
index  was  published  in  1 89 1.  None  was  published  for  the  decennary 
ending  1900.  The  Committee  now  deems  it  advisable  to  publish  a 
twenty -year  index  in  19 10."

macy, gave  a  lengthy  report  concerning  the  work  of  the  past  year. 
Mr.  William  Mclntyre  reported  for  the  Committee  on  Pharma- 
ceutical Meetings  as  follows : 
The  pharmaceutical  meetings  have  been  held  regularly  during  the  past 
year.  Three  of  the  meetings  have  been  held  in  the  evening.  A  number  of  the 
meetings  have  been  of  special  interest  to  the  retail  druggist.  The  October 
meeting  was  devoted  to  the  discussion  on  Sunday  closing  and  shorter  hours 
for  pharmacists,  and  much  good  has  resulted  from  it.  The  December  meeting 
was  devoted  to  a  discussion  on  business  methods,  and  Harry  B.  Mason,  of 
Detroit,  presented  a  remarkable  paper  which  was  widely  circulated  and  much 
appreciated.  The  committee  has  co-operated  with  the  Philadelphia  Branch  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  several  meetings,  and  the  January 
meeting,  at  which  the  subject  of  a  Pure  Food  and  Drug  Law  for  Pennsylvania 
was  discussed,  shows  how  much  may  be  accomplished  by  hearty  co-operation 
of  the  allied  societies  of  medicine  and  pharmacy  in  Philadelphia. 
The  minutes  of  the  meetings  have  been  published  regularly  in  the  Journal, 
and  reports  have  been  sent  to.  the  leading  drug  journals.
