(/)  A  preparation,  otherwise  taxable,  is  not  exempt  from  tax 
when  it  is  sold  on  a  physician's  prescription,  nor  when  sold  in  a  con- 
tainer upon  which  the  original  label  does  not  appear." 
7.  Paragraph  (6)  of  Article  17  has  been  rewritten  so  as  to  bring 
out  the  fact  that  products  whose  primary  or  principal  use  is  a  food, 
as  distinguished  from  medicinal  preparations  used  as  a  remedy  or 
specific,  are  not  taxable  even  though  held  out  as  having  incidental 
remedial  properties,  unless  they  contain  a  recognized  drug  and  are 
held  out  as  proprietary  medicinal  preparations,  or  as  remedies,  or  as 
specifics. 
8.  A  clause  has  been  added  to  paragraph  {d)  of  Article  17  to  the 
effect  that  serums,  vaccines,  antitoxins  and  salvarsan,  when  pre- 
pared by  open  formulae  and  advertised  only  to  the  medical  profes- 
sion, with  labels  which  indicate  use  only  by  the  medical  profession, 
are  exempt  from  tax. 
9.  Paragraph  {e)  of  Article  17  has  been  rewritten  so  as  to  bring 
out  the  point  that  waters,  whether  medicated  or  not,  produced  and 
sold  primarily  for  use  as  beverages,  although  they  are  held  out  as 
having  incidental  remedial  qualities,  are  taxable  as  beverages  under 
Section  628,  and  not  as  medicinal  preparations  under  Section  907. 
10.  Articles  24  and  25  have  been  rewritten  in  such  a  manner 
as  to  bring  out  clearly  the  fact  that  the  tax  imposed  by  Section  907 
does  not  apply  to  sales  made  for  export ;  and  also,  that  when  articles 
covered  by  this  section  are  imported,  they  are  taxable  when  sold 
to  the  consumer  in  the  United  States,  the  same  as  if  they  had  been 
manufactured  in  the  United  States. 
LOYALTY  TO  AND  SERVICE  IN  ASSOCIATIONS.* 
By  E.  G.  EbERLE,  Ph.  M. 
Two  years  ago  I  chose  as  a  timely  topic,  "Loyalty  to  the  Country 
and  to  Pharmacy."  This  time  my  endeavor  is  to  impress  upon 
myself  and  others,  if  possible,  the  duty  of  loyal  service  to  associations. 
We  are  often  discouraged  by  imperfections  without  deriving  the 
encouragement  for  further  application,  though  fully  convinced  of 
the  wisdom  of  the  actions  concerned;  enthusiasm  is  responsive  to 
interest  in  work.    A  traveler  was  admiring  a  sunset  in  the  Himalayas,

meeting,  1920.
