494  ne  Forty-third  Annual  Meeting,       [  ^°juiy^''i9'2'3: 
tion  enforcement  and  prepare  resolutions  to  be  sent  to  Congress, 
expressing  the  attitude  of  the  association  on  a  number  of  questions 
concerning  the  law.  The  matter  was  disposed  of  by  referring  con- 
sideration of  the  subject  to  the  Association's  Committee  on  Legisla- 
tion. 
The  entire  afternoon  of  this  day  was  spent  at  Hershey,  Pa., 
inspecting  the  grounds  and  buildings  of  the  Hershey  Chocolate 
Company,  and  the  members  of  the  Association  were  the  guests  of 
the  Hershey  Company  at  a  dinner  served  in  one  of  the  pavilions  at 
Hershey,  after  which  the  annual  entertainment  of  the  Travelling 
Mens'  Auxiliary  was  held  at  the  auditorium. 
The  fifth  session  of  the  convention  was  held  on  Thursday  morn- 
ing, June  24,  and  was  devoted  almost  entirely  to  the  reading  and 
discussion  of  papers.  The  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries  headed 
by  Mrs.  Charles  H.  La  Wall  as  Chairman,  had  been  active  through- 
out the  year  and  had  secured  about  40  papers  for  this  meeting. 
Lack  of  time  prevented  reading  all  of  them,  but  practically  all  who 
were  present  during  the  session  of  the  committee  and  had  written 
papers  were  given  an  opportunity  to  read  them. 
At  1 1  o'clock  the  President  announced  that  Dr.  Edward  Martin 
the  State  Commissioner  of  Health,  had  come  over  from  the  Capitol 
to  address  the  members  and  then  introduced  Dr.  Martin. 
In  a  short  address  the  Commissioner  paid  a  splendid  tribute  to 
the  Association  for  the  cooperation  that  had  been  given  him  by  the 
pharmacists  of  the  State  in  all  Public  Health  Measures.  He  out- 
lined some  of  the  problems  now  before  the  department.  In  doing 
so,  he  pointed  out  where  the  pharmacists  could  be  of  help  in  each 
case.  His  remarks  made  a  profound  impression  upon  the  members 
and  at  their  conclusion,  Professor  La  Wall  in  rising  to  thank  the 
Commissioner  for  his  address,  also  moved  that  he  be  made  an  honor- 
ary member  of  the  Association.  This  motion  was  carried  unani- 
mously with  a  rising  vote. 
It  is  the  first  time  that  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation has  elected  more  than  one  honorary  member  in  any  one  year 
and  also  the  first  time  that  a  State  Official  has  been  so  recognized. 
The  sixth  session  of  the  convention  was  called  to  order  at  2  p.m., 
Thursday  afternoon,  June  24,  and  Dr.  L.  L.  Walton,  of  Williamsport, 
the  Chairman,  presented  the  annual  report  of  the  Committee  on 
Legislation.  Dr.  Walton  reported  that  the  committee  had  not  been
