body  successfully,  but  which  died  in  the  House  after  having  been 
referred  to  the  Committee  on  Public  Health  and  Sanitation.  He 
also  spoke  of  the  fact  that  the  recommendations  made  the  previous 
year  to  guide  the  Committee  in  its  work  were  impossible  to  carry 
out.  Particular  attention  was  called  to  the  fact  that  while  no  new 
legislation  had  been  accomplished,  the  Committee  felt  that  it  had 
been  of  value  to  the  Association  in  preventing  the  passage  of  several 
objectionable  bills,  among  which  was  House  Bill  No.  520,  which 
provided  that  all  poisonous  liquids  must  be  dispensed  in  triangular 
shaped  bottles.  At  the  close  of  this  report  some  discussion  took 
place  in  which  several  of  the  members  signified  a  desire  to  have  a 
complete  report  of  the  doings  of  the  Committee,  explaining  the 
methods  whereby  these  results  had  been  obtained.  After  some 
deliberation,  however,  it  was  decided  that  such  a  course  would  be 
unwise  and  would  hamper  the  future  work  of  the  Committee.  On 
motion  of  Dr.  Lowe  a  vote  of  thanks  was  tendered  to  the  Committee, 
which  was  also  commended  for  its  indefatigable  efforts  in  the  work 
assigned  to  it. 
The  Committee  on  Nominations  next  reported,  and  the  following 
members  were  placed  in  nomination  and  unanimously  elected  by  the 
secretary  casting  an  affirmative  ballot :  President,  Dr.  C.  B.  Lowe,  of 
Philadelphia  ;  First  Vice-President,  John  C.  Wallace,  of  Newcastle  ; 
Second  Vice-President,  Croll  Keller,  of  Harrisburg,  Pa.;  Secretary, 
Dr.  J.  A.  Miller,  of  Harrisburg;  Treasurer,  Joseph  L.  Lemberger, 
of  Lebanon  ;  Executive  Committee,  L.  L.  Walton,  of  Williamsport ; 
S.  A.  Stright,  of  Braddock ;  Charles  Hay,  of  Dubois. 
The  following  persons  were  elected  honorary  members  of  the 
Association :  Mr.  Le©  Eliel,  of  South  Bend,  Indiana ;  Mr.  S.  A.  D. 
Sheppard,  of  Boston ;  Dr.  H.  M.  Whelpley,  of  St.  Louis,  Mo. 
The  balance  of  this  session  was  devoted  to  the  reading  of  papers 
and  queries,  Professor  La  Wall  having  presented  his  report  for  that 
committee  and  being  invited  to  take  charge  of  the  meeting.  The 
following  papers  were  read  and  discussed  : — 
"  A  Hand-me-down  Conscience,"  by  B.  E.  Pritchard ;  "  A  Test  for 
Gurjun  Balsam  in  Copaiba,"  by  C.  E.  Vanderkleed  ;  "Solution  of
