In  the  report  from  the  chairman  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion delegates  to  the  San  Francisco  meeting  of  the  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion, it  was  stated  that  one  paper  read  by  a  physician  claimed  that  more  harm 
had  been  done  by  physicians  dispensing  than  by  the  pharmacists  furnishing 
medicines.  The  chairman  of  delegates  to  Pan-American  Congress  reported  that 
the  section  of  pharmacology  had  made  a  most  favorable  impression  by  reason 
of  the  number  and  character  of  papers  presented  to  this  Congress.  The  resolu- 
tions proposed  by  the  Committee  on  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  (H.  M.  Whelpley, 
Chairman)  were  adopted,  viz. :  Approval  of  the  changes  and  character  of  the 
recent  edition  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia.  That  a  table  of  maximum  doses 
of  energetic  drugs  be  given  in  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia.  That  as  the  recipe 
file  is  the  only  indication  of  the  kind  of  medicines  employed  in  the  United 
States,  it  was  suggested  that  the  committee  of  revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmaco- 
poeia obtain  the  co-operation  of  the  State  Associations  in  securing  information 
concerning  the  ingredients  entering  into  the  recipes  of  the  respective  collabora- 
tors. It  was  furthermore  moved  that  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
appropriate  means  if  necessary  to  assist  the  work  of  the  committee.  A.  E. 
Ebert  presented  a  report  of  the  work  of  the  International  Pharmaceutical 
Congress, 
Final  General  Session. — Saturday,  September  8th,  10  A.M.,  Prof.  Oscar  Old- 
berg,  Chairman  of  the  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress,  informed  the 
Council  of  the  status  of  the  publication  of  their  proceedings.  It  was  "  Resolved 
that  the  balance  of  the  appropriation  of  $1,000  in  favor  of  the  International 
Pharmaceutical  Congress  be  used  to  publish  the  Proceedings  of  the  International 
Pharmaceutical  Congress,  and  it  was  further  resolved  that  the  actual  transac- 
tions of  the  Congress,  such  as  votes  passed  and  resolutions  adopted  touching 
important  general  principles  be  published  in  the  German,  French  and  Spanish 
languages,  as  well  as  English,  but  that  the  minutes  of  the  Congress  be  published 
in  English  only.  A  special  committee,  consisting  of  S.  A.  D.  Sheppard,  J.  P.  Rem- 
ington and  O.  Oldberg,  was  appointed  with  the  power  to  determine  how  the 
money  should  be  expended  for  said  publication,  and  to  decide  upon  distribution 
of  the  same.  C.  Caspari,  Jr.,  moved  <(  That  the  Council  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  tender  to  Joseph  P.  Remington  the  sincere  appreciation  of 
his  efforts  in  the  careful  and  thorough  manner  in  which  he  has  performed  the 
duties  of  the  office  of  Permanent  Secretary  ad  interim.  The  transfer  of  the  office, 
without  an  opportunity  of  consulting  the  late  Prof.  John  M.  Maisch,  as  to  facts 
and  methods,  carried  with  it  a  vast  amount  of  intricate  work  and  labor  which 
has  been  most  satisfactorily  executed  by  Prof.  Remington.  The  council  desires 
to  place  on  record  its  sense  of  gratitude  to  Prof.  Remington  for  his  valuable 
services."    This,  by  a  rising  vote,  was  unanimously  adopted  by  the  Association. 
A  motion  was  made  by  H.  M.  Whitney,  and  carried,  to  the  effect  that  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  condemns  the  supplying  of  medicines 
to  the  physician  by  manufacturing  houses  for  the  use  of  putting  up  his  own
