KENTUCKY  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  nineteenth  meeting  of  the  Kentucky  Pharmaceutical  Association  was 
held  at  Estill  Springs,  Irvine,  Ky.,  June  i6th-i9th,  inclusive.  The  meeting 
was  eminently  successful  in  every  way.  Some  seventy-five  members,  many 
with  their  wives,  were  present;  all  actively  participated  in  all  the  exercises. 
Eighteen  new  members  were  elected. 
The  Legislative  Committee  was  instructed  to  draft  an  entirely  new  pharmacy 
law,  to  be  presented  to  the  next  annual  meeting  for  ratification.  It  was  the  gen- 
eral impression  that  it  would  be  no  more  difficult  to  pass  an  entirely  new  law 
than  to  pass  the  needed  amendments  to  the  old  one. 
The  "  Atchison  Plan,"  as  presented  by  the  Kansas  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion at  its  last  annual  meeting,  was  brought  before  the  Association,  and  the 
protests  against  the  sale  of  those  patent  medicines  and  proprietary  articles 
which  do  not  yield  the  retailer  a  gross  profit  of  at  least  50  per  cent,  were  heart- 
ily concurred  in. 
Prof.  G.  L.  Curry's  paper,  "  Bacteriology  for  the  Pharmacist,"  was  awarded 
the  association  prize  of  $10  as  the  best  scientific  paper,  and  the  paper  entitled 
"The  Retail  Pharmacist,"  by  the  same  author,  was  awarded  a  similar  prize  as 
the  best  commercial  paper.
