NEW  JERSEY  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  thirtieth  annual  meeting  of  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical 
Association  was  held  at  Asbury  Park,  May  23-24,  1900. 
After  an  address  of  welcome  by  Hon.  F.  T.  Appleby,  the  Presi- 
dent, W.  C.  Alpers,  then  read  his  annual  address,  in  which  he  said 
the  business  outlook  was  brighter  than  for  many  years  past.  He 
said  he  had  experienced  the  greatest  difficulty  in  getting  members 
of  the  Association  to  serve  on  the  Query  Committee.  To  overcome 
this  difficulty  a  more  vigorous  policy  was  needed.  Provision  should 
be  made  for  this  committee  to  send  out  questions  early  to  members 
of  the  Association  and  to  keep  at  it.  The  committee  should  also 
collect  facts  bearing  on  the  progress  of  pharmacy,  adulteration  and 
methods  of  analysis  for  their  determination,  etc.  He  reported  that 
the  Association  had  to  its  credit  #2,300,  with  an  annual  income 
from  dues  amounting  to  #375.  The  annual  expenditures  amount  to 
#475,  and  he  urged  greater  economy  in  the  matter  of  expenses. 
The  proposition  of  the  Pabst  Brewing  Company,  of  Milwaukee, 
to  allow  an  additional  discount  or  rebate  to  associations  on  goods 
sold  to  their  members  was  denounced  as  an  "advertising  scheme," 
and  he  advised  the  Association  to  authorize  the  return  of  the  check 
sent  by  that  corporation  to  the  society.  The  work  of  the  New  Jer- 
sey Board  of  Pharmacy  was  heartily  endorsed.  He  believed  a  thor- 
ough general  education  should  be  required  of  applicants,  and  the 
legal  establishment  of  such  educational  requirements  was  more 
necessary  than  anything  else  in  the  development  of  pharmacy.  He 
indorsed  the  "  model  law  "  adopted  by  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  at  its  last  meeting,  and  said  that  the  New  Jersey 
pharmacy  law  came  nearer  to  this  draft  than  that  of  any  other 
State.  The  recommendation  that  hospital  stewards  in  the  National 
Guard  be  registered  pharmacists  and  be  accorded  commissions,  as 
recently  authorized  in  New  York,  he  also  endorsed.  The  Local  Sec-
