Fourth  Session — Thursday  Morning. 
The  reading  and  approval  of  the  minutes  was  followed  by  the  read- 
ing of  a  telegram  from  Dr.  T.  E.  Jenkins,  stating  that  the  report  of 
the  Progress  of  Pharmacy  would  be  ready  for  the  Publishing  Com- 
mittee. The  Association  granted  time  until  October  1st  to  finish  the 
report,  and,  if  it  cannot  be  finished  by  that  time,  requested  the  chair- 
man to  hand  it  in  at  the  next  annual  meeting  as  a  volunteer  paper. 
A  committee  to  consider  and  report  on  the  time  and  place  of  hold- 
ing the  twenty-first  annual  meeting  was  appointed,  as  follows :  Rob- 
ert J.  Brown,  of  Kansas ;  Charles  L.  Eberle,  of  Pennsylvania,  and 
Dr.  Henry  J.  Menninger,  of  North  Carolina. 
The  delegation  from  the  Georgetown  College  School  of  Pharmacy 
requested,  through  the  committee  appointed  at  the  second  session,  to- 
be  permitted  to  withdraw  the  credentials,  and  to  omit  the  discussion 
on  this  subject  from  the  printed  Proceedings.  The  request  was  granted 
by  a  vote  of  58  ayes  against  19  nays,  and  the  subject  of  representa- 
tion at  the  annual  meetings  was  then  recommitted  to  the  same  com- 
mittee with  the  instruction  to  bring  in,  on  the  following  morning,  an 
amendment  to  the  by-laws  clearly  defining  the  conditions. 
Credentials  were  received  from  the  delegation  of  the  Mississippi 
State  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  ten  applicants  for  membership 
were  duly  elected.

cinai  Formulas,  reported  by  telegraph  that  the  experiments  and  the 
written  report  were  not  completed.  The  committee  was  continued^ 
and  all  reports  of  special  committees  not  handed  in  before  the  final 
adjournment  were  referred  to  the  next  annual  meeting.  The  Com- 
mittees on  Pharmaceutical  Legislation,  and  on  Arrangements  for  the 
Meeting  of  1876,  were  likewise  continued,  and  a  Committee  on  Adul- 
terations and  Sophistications  was  appointed  as  follows  :  Charles  Rice, 
New  York,  chairman  ;  Thomas  N.  Jamieson,  Chicago,  and  Emil  Schef- 
fer,  Louisville.

briefly  the  laws  of  some  European  countries.
