The  reporter  reiterates  the  recommendation  made  by  several  of  his  predecessors, 
to  appoint  a  permanent  reporter,  or  divide  the  labor  among  several  members. 
The  other  committee  reports  are  on  the  drug  market,  on  sophistications  and 
adulterations,  on  unofficinal  formulas,  on  legislation,  and  on  the  exhibition  at 
the  meeting. 
The  papers  read  at  the  meeting  were  about  forty  in  number,  many  of  consid- 
erable interest  and  importance.  This  number  was  considered  sufficiently  large 
to  warrant  the  adoption  of  a  new  arrangement,  and  accordingly  they  are  classi- 
fied under  three  general  headings:  Pharmacy,  Materia  Medica  and  Chemistry. 
The  list  of  queries  to  be  reported  on  at  the  next  meeting,  which  is  to  be  held  at 
Cleveland,  is  unusually  large,  and  if  the  investigation  of  the  subjects  is  not 
delayed  by  the  acceptors,  the  interest  and  scientific  as  well  as  practical  value 
of  the  next  volume  will  be  still  greater. 
The  work  may  be  obtained  from  the  Editor,  at  the  price  of  $4.50  per  copy  in 
paper  cover,  and  bound  at  $5.25.    These  prices  include  the  postage.
