490  Fiftieth  Annual  Meeting,  { ^^iuiy^^'S: 
to  the  celebration.  Others  were  of  a  scientific  character;  note- 
worthy among  these  was  the  paper  by  R.  G.  Eccles,  M.D.,  on  the 
"Use  of  Drugs  in  Disease."  Among  the  important  reports  pre- 
sented were  those  of  the  Committee  on  Pharmacopoeas,  Delegates 
to  the  Pharmacopoeial  Convention,  Legislation,  and  the  several 
reports  from  the  Board  of  Pharmacy. 
The  Board  presented  to  the  members  a  copy  of  the  "Schedule  of 
Antidotes  for  Poisons,"  which  had  just  been  issued  as  authorized  by 
the  amendment  to  the  Pharmacy  Law  enacted  the  year  prior.  This 
presents  in  a  very  convenient  form  the  approved  antidotal  treatment 
for  the  drugs  and  chemicals  more  likely  to  cause  toxic  effects.  This 
is  a  commendable  feature  incorporated  in  the  New  Jersey  Pharmacy 
Act.  Copies  of  this  schedule  can  be  secured  by  addressing  the 
Secretary,  Edgar  R.  Sparks,  Burlington,  N.  J. 
The  entertainment  features  were  a  noted  portion  of  the  celebra- 
tion. The  principle  events  were  on  Tuesday  evening,  a  vaude- 
ville entertainment  and  an  illustrated  lecture  by  Prof.  Wm.  Mans- 
field, of  Albany,  N.  Y. ;  the  reception  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Charles 
Holzhauer  on  Wednesday  evening;  the  travelling  men's  entertain- 
ment on  Thursday  evening;  the  field  sports  on  the  Newark  Athletic 
Field;  automobile  ride  to  Newark  Port  and  inspection  of  the  cap- 
tured German  war  relics;  and  an  automobile  country  ride  for  the 
ladies  with  a  stop  at  Washington's  Headquarters  at  Morristown, 
These  were  the  main  entertainment  features  that  were  crowded  into 
this  busy  week. 
The  Golden  Jubilee  banquet  on  Friday  evening  was  the  climax 
of  the  celebration.  Mr.  Wm.  O.  Kuebler  was  toastmaster,  and  the 
principle  address  of  the  evening  was  made  by  Judge  Robert  Carey. 
The  surprise  of  the  evening  came  in  the  nature  of  gifts  presented  to 
the  retiring  President,  Edward  A.  Sayre,  and  to  Harry  W.  Crooks, 
local  Secretary  and  President-elect,  in  recognition  of  their  efficient 
service  in  making  the  Semi-Centennial  Celebration  a  grand  success. 
A  memorial  volume  of  loo  pages  was  prepared  by  President 
Sayre.  This  contained  a  short  historical  sketch  of  the  Association, 
and  brief  memoirs  and  portraits  of  the  Forty-eight  men  who  had 
filled  the  presidential  chair  since  the  organization  had  been  effected. 
This  souvenir  will  doubtless  be  highly  prized  as  commemorating  the 
events  of  the  Semi-Centennial  session  of  this  Association.
