OHIO  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  twenty-second  annual  convention  of  the  Ohio  State  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  opened  June  19,  1900,  at  8  o'clock  p.m.,  in 
the  Hotel  Victory,  Put-in-Bay,  O.,  with  President  DeLang  in  the 
chair.  The  first  session  was  devoted  chiefly  to  the  reading  of  the 
President's  address,  which  was  referred  to  a  committee  to  report 
upon. 
At  the  second  session  the  report  of  the  Pharmacopceial  Com- 
mittee was  presented.  Considerable  discussion  was  had  regarding 
the  subject  of  courses  of  study  in  pharmaceutical  colleges.  The 
Association  took  action  supporting  the  work  done  by  George  F. 
Payne,  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  in  raising  the 
standing  accorded  to  pharmacists  in  the  army,  navy  and  marine 
hospital  service  of  the  United  States.  It  was  resolved  to  notify  the 
National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  of  this  society's  endorse- 
ment of  their  views  on  the  subject  of  trade-mark  protection  of 
foreign  products.  Joseph  Feil  read  a  very  opportune  paper  on  the 
progressive  standard  of  education  among  pharmacists,  entitled 
*\  The  Next  Step."  A  table  and  paper  was  presented  by  Prof. 
Theodore  Wetterstroem,  of  Cincinnati,  on  the  comparative  alcoholic 
strength  of  proprietary  articles.  The  Treasurer  of  the  Association, 
Mr.  j.  H.  von  Stein,  presented  a  prize  paper  entitled  "  What  Con- 
stitutes a  Good  Member." 
At  the  third  session  the  discussion  on  the  President's  address 
was  the  chief  feature,  and  this  was  followed  by  the  report  of  the 
Ohio  Board  of  Pharmacy,  the  Secretary's  report,  a  prize  paper  on 
druggists'  protective  fire-insurance,  by  Mr.  John  Weyer,  and  the 
report  of  the  Association  Committee  on  Insurance.  Officers  for  the 
ensuing  year  were  elected,  as  follows:  President,  B.  S.  Young,  Ada; 
First  Vice-President,  O.  H.  Garrett,    Hillsboro ;   Second  Vice-
