The  Committee  appointed  to  select  a  place  for  holding  the  next  an- 
nual meeting,  reported  in  favor  of  Louisville,  Ky.  Amendments 
were  made,  substituting  Nashville,  Tenn.,  and  Richmond,  Va.  The 
latter  amendment  was  adopted  by  a  vote  of  40  ayes  against  33  nays, 
and  the  resolution  as  amended  was  then  carried.  The  Executive 
Committee  was  authorized  to  make  all  the  necessary  arrangements 
in  case  the  local  Secretary  to  be  elected  should  be  unable  to  act.  The 
third  Tuesday  in  September,  1873,  was  fixed  for  the  time  of  the  next 
meeting,  and  Mr.  Thos.  H.  Hazard  was  then  elected  local  Secretary. 
The  queries  not  otherwise  disposed  of  were,  on  motion,  dropped, 
and  the4  members  generally  recommended  to  investigate  the  subjects 
and  report  voluntarily  thereon  at  the  next  meeting. 
The  Committee  on  the  Georgetown  College  Delegation  proposed  to 
amend  Article  vi,  Chapter  6,  of  the  By-Laws,  by  making  it  read  :  "All 
local  organizations  of  pharmacists  shall  be  entitled,"  &c.  Action  was 
deferred  until  the  first  session  of  the  next  meeting. 
The  same  disposition  was  made  of  the  proposal  to  appoint  the  Com- 
mittee on  specimens  at  the  first  session  of  the  annual  meetings. 
Resolutions  of  thanks  were  passed  to  the  Cleveland  pharmacists 
and  druggists,  for  kindness  shown  to  the  members  at  this  meet- 
ing ;  to  Mr.  James  Mcintosh,  Signal  Officer  at  Cleveland,  for  fur- 
nishing daily  reports,  statistics,  charts,  &c,  and  to  the  press  of  Cleve- 
land, for  the  attention  shown  this  meeting. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Specimens  was  read  and  referred. 
Professor  Robert  Bentley,  of  London,  England,  and  Stanislas  Mar- 
tin, of  Paris,  France,  were  elected  honorary  members.
