The  Report  of  the  Executive  Committee  was  read  by  the 
Chairman,  Edward  Parrish,  and  on  motion,  was  accepted,  and 
laid  on  the  table  for  future  action.    It  is  as  follows  : 
The  Executive  Committee  present  the  following  Report  of 
their  proceedings  for  the  past  year : 
The  annual  publication  entitled  "Proceedings  of  the  Ameri- 
can Pharmaceutical  Association ,"  was  issued  early  after  the  meet- 
ing in  Baltimore.  It  comprised  ninety  octavo  pages,  and  we  have 
an  evidence  of  the  interest  which  it  excited  in  the  numerous  ap- 
plications for  copies  which  reached  the  Committee  by  mail  and 
otherwise.  One  thousand  copies  were  published  at  an  expense 
of  $135  92. 
The  subject  of  collecting  and  placing  in  a  safe  repository  the 
manuscript  and  printed  documents  of  the  Association,  was  re- 
ferred to  us  last  year,  by  Resolution,  and  we  have  obtained  the 
use  of  cases  in  the  Hall  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy,  Zane  street, 
Philadelphia,  for  the  purpose.  It  is  cause  of  regret  that  so  small 
a  stock  of  the  Proceedings  of  previous  years  is  in  our  possession,, 
and  we  propose  that  the  effort  be  made  to  procure  back  numbers 
to  be  sent  to  the  Chairman  of  the  next  Executive  Committee,  so 
that  complete  sets  may  be  made  up  for  future  use. 
There  have  been,  since  the  last  annual  meeting,  sixteen  appli- 
cations for  membership.  Of  these,  one  was,  by  the  advice  of 
the  Committee,  withdrawn,  eleven  were  approved  by  the  separate 
members  in  writing,  and  duly  elected. 
Copies  of  the  Constitution,  signed  by  these  applicants  re- 
spectively, with  the  required  vouchers  of  Physicians  and  Phar- 
maceutists, the  approval  of  the  Committee,  and  the  endorsement 
of  the  President,  accompany  this  report.  They  are  designed  to 
be  deposited  with  the  papers  of  the  Association. 
The  remaining  four  applicants,  up  to  the  time  of  writing  this 
report,  are:  George  W.  Sloan,  Indianapolis,  Ind.;  John  M. 
Clark,  Milledgeville,  Ga.;  William  M.  Guilford  Lebanon,  Pa., 
and  P.  C.  Candidus,  Aberdeen,  Miss.  These  have  not  received 
the  necessary  sanction  of  the  President  in  consequence  of  his
