"  Questionable  Methods  of  Advertising  "  was  the  title  of  an  im- 
promptu address  by  Mr.  W.  E.  Arford.  The  speaker  described  in 
detail  illegitimate  methods  being  employed  which  have  resulted  in 
a  number  of  pharmacists  losing  considerable  sums  of  money. 
At  this  time,  President  Binz,  of  the  California  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  was  introduced  and  extended  the  privileges  of  the  floor. 
Mr.  Binz  spoke  at  length  on  the  subject  of  pharmaceutical  legisla- 
tion. He  stated  that  he  had  become  convinced  during  the  past  year 
that  prerequisite  pharmaceutical  legislation  was  most  essential  if 
pharmacists  are  to  secure  other  measures  which  are  urgently  needed. 
Mr.  Binz  extended  greetings  from  the  California  Association  and 
expressed  his  appreciation  for  the  cordial  reception  he  had  received 
in  Minnesota.

Mr.  Charles  H.  Huhn  presented  the  report  of  the  committee  on

present  status  of  price  maintenance,  narcotic  legislation,  anti-coupon 
legislation,  and  other  measures  of  direct  importance  to  pharmacists. 
Mr.  W.  S.  Parker,  secretary  of  the  North  Dakota  Board,  was 
next  introduced,  and  spoke  upon  prerequisite  and  patent  medicine 
legislation.  Sunday  closing,  Mr.  Parker  stated,  was  quite  generally 
observed  in  North  Dakota.

ceutical Association  and  stated  that  he  hoped  to  do  his  share  of  the 
work  of  the  University  in  turning  out  well-trained  pharmacists.
