their  annual  report;  also  that  the  printed  Proceedings  be  more  copi- 
ously illustrated  than  heretofore  by  wood-cuts  and  engravings.  The 
incidental  expenses  of  the  Secretary  were  considerably  larger  than 
during  the  previous  year,  the  two  items  of  freight  and  postage  alone 
causing  an  increase  of  expenses  amounting  to  $141.71,  owing  to  the 
large  size  of  the  last  volume.  The  Secretary  then  refers  to  a  charge 
brought  against  him  by  the  "  Pharmaceutische  Zeitung,"  of  May  11 
last,  of  altering,  in  the  translation,  the  address  of  the  North  German 
Apothecaries'  Union,  and  says,  in  regard  to  this  matter: 
The  criticized  passage  refers  to  the  plea  against  removing  the  restrictions 
from  the  practice  of  pharmacy  in  Germany,  which  has  been  extensively  advocated 
there  for  some  years  past,  and  touches  a  question  in  which  American  pharma- 
cists have  no  interest,  and  for  which  they  feel  no  sympathy.  For  these  reasons 
an  intentional  omission  or  alteration  is  out  of  the  question  ;  moreover,  none  of 
the  documents  presented  to  this  Association  in  a  foreign  language  have  ever 
been  translated  verbally,  whether  they  were  afterwards  ordered  to  be  published 
or  not.  The  sentence  to  which  objection  was  taken  is  as  follows,*  the  verbal  trans- 
lation being  italicized  :  "  Our  only  hope  rests  in  the  recognition  of  this,  and  we 
trust  that  the  (unfavorable)  sad  experience  of  those  countries  in  which  the  un- 
restricted practice  of  pharmacy  exists  may  prevent  our  governments  from  the 
great  error  o/its  introduction." 
The  Secretary  likewise  communicated  to  the  Association  the  pream- 
ble and  resolution  passed  by  the  College  of  Physicians  of  Philadel- 
phia in  regard  to  the  keeping  and  dispensing  of  poisonous  remedies.f 
The  appointment  of  the  Nominating  Committee  being  in  order,  the 
delegations  of  the  above  associations  appointed  the  following  gentle- 
men, one  from  each  delegation :  Messrs.  Joel  S-  Orne,  Paul  BallufF, 
J.  Faris  Moore,  John  F.  Judge,  C.  Lewis  Diehl,  Thomas  N.  Jamie- 
son,  Robert  J.  Brown,  Henry  J.  Rose,  Benjamin  Lillard,  Robert  W. 
Gardener,  Robert  W.  Vanderwoort,  Daniel  P.  Hickling,  William  H. 
Brill,  Leander  Simoneau,  Charles  A.  Tufts,  Thomas  Starr,  Charles 
L.  Eberle.  The  Association  requested  the  delegations  from  the  Phil- 
adelphia and  the  St.  Louis  Colleges  of  Pharmacy  to  appoint  one 
member  each,  when  Messrs.  Joseph  P.  Remington  and  Enno  Sander 
were  named.  From  the  Association  at  large  the  following  members 
were  appointed  by  the  President  to  serve  on  the  same  Committee : 
Messrs.  George  W.  Sloane,  Indianapolis ;  Henry  J.  Menninger,  Ral-
