THE  MASSACHUSETTS  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  thirteenth  annual  meeting  of  this  Association  was  held  26th  to  28th  June, 
1894,  at  Worcester,  Mass.  Over  125  new  members  were  elected  during  the 
various  sessions.  The  following  officers  were  elected  :  President,  Frank  M. 
Harris  ;  Vice  Presidents,  H.  F.  Rockwell,  C.  F.  Nixon  and  W.  F.  Sayer ; 
Secretary,  M.  L.  H.  Leavitt  ;  Treasurer,  T.  B.  Nichols. 
C.  F.  Nixon  delivered  "A  talk  on  the  Medicinal  Plants  Indigenous  to  Massa- 
chusetts." Papers  were  read  by  Prof.  W.  L  Scoville,  on  "Chalk  Mixture;" 
F.  T.  Drake,  on  "  Adulterations  of  Powdered  Nux  Vomica,"  and  John  T.  Man- 
ning, "  How  to  Keep  an  Index."  The  next  meeting  will  be  held  in  May,  1895,

THE  NEW  YORK  STATE  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
This  Association  held  its  sixteenth  annual  meeting  at  Saratoga  Springs,  June 
26th  to  28th,  1894.  One  of  the  features  of  the  occasion  was  an  address  by 
Prof.  H.  H.  Rusby,  on  "The  Rubber  Industry  in  South  America." 
The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year  :  President,  Charles 
F.  Fish  ;  Vice-Presidents,  I.  C.  Chapman,  L.  A.  Baker,  E.  S.  Gregory  ;  Secre- 
tary, Clay  W.  Holmes  ;  Treasurer,  W.  B.  Fuller.  Much  time  of  the  meeting 
was  occupied  with  a  discussion  of  the  Pharmacy  Law.  The  sentiment  of  the 
members  was  in  favor  of  a  "re-registration"  amendment  to  the  law  now  in 
force.  Through  the  report  of  the  committee,  the  Association  was  informed  of 
a  number  of  bills  that  had  been  brought  before  the  State  Legislature  to  regu- 
late the  practice  of  pharmacy,  among  them  the  perennial  one  of  dispensing 
poisons  in  a  special  bottle  ;  this  brought  out  a  full  discussion  by  members  of 
the  Association,  and  the  almost  universal  sentiment  was  opposed  to  the 
adoption  of  any  mechanical  device.  The  meeting  next  year  will  be  held  at 
Oswego.
