Report  of  Delegates  to  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association 
Meeting  Held  at  Pittsburgh,  June  19-21. 
In  the  absence  of  the  chairman,  Professor  J.  W.  Sturmer,  Dr. 
F.  E.  Stewart  reported  verbally  that  the  meeting  was  a  very  suc- 
cessful one.  The  attendance  was  large,  many  interesting  papers 
were  read  and  the  social  features  as  usual  were  very  much  enjoyed. 
Dr.  Stewart  further  said  that  one  of  the  most  discussed  subjects 
was  the  status  of  the  pharmacists  in  the  army  and  navy.  The  rank 
and  pay  of  pharmacists  in  the  navy  had  been  very  much  improved 
of  late  years,  but  for  the  army,  there  was  much  yet  to  be  desired 
for  the  pharmacists.  An  interesting  and  instructive  discussion  fol- 
lowed the  remarks  of  Dr.  Stewart  on  this  subject,  which  was  par- 
ticipated in  by  Messrs.  Beringer,  French,  La  Wall,  Kraemer,  Lowe 
and  Dr.  Stewart.  In  this  connection  President  French  stated  he 
had  forwarded  to  army  headquarters  a  series  of  resolutions  that 
had  been  adopted  applying  to  this  subject,  which  had  been  acknowl- 
edged by  the  government  in  a  reply  by  General  Crowder  in  which 
he  denned  the  present  status  of  the  pharmacists  in  the  army  and 
navy. 
Report  of  the  delegates  to  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  As- 
sociation at  its  meeting  held  at  Lake  Hopatcong  was  made  verbally 
by  Mr.  George  M.  Beringer.  There  was  a  very  interesting  pro- 
gram; legislation  of  state  and  national  interest  was  largely  consid- 
ered. The  illustrated  lecture  by  Professor  Kraemer  and  a  paper 
by  Professor  E.  F.  Cook  added  much  to  the  success  and  enjoyment 
of  the  meeting.  Mr.  Beringer  further  said  the  Association  was  a 
strong  one,  and  very  much  alive  and  active  in  promoting  pharmacy 
and  the  field  was  a  good  one  in  which  to  urge  the  advantages  of  the
