AH  members  of  the  medical  and  pharmaceutical  professions  present  in 
Milwaukee  were  invited  to  attend  the  sessions.  The  exhibition  room  being 
directly  above  the  meeting  room  the  deliberations  were  interfered  with  by 
the  walking  of  the  visitors ;  the  exhibition  room  was  therefore  ordered  to 
be  closed  during  the  subsequent  sessions. 
The  report  on  credentials  showed  that  delegates  were  present  from  nine 
Colleges  of  Pharmacy,  five  Alumni  Associations,  twenty-three  State  and 
ten  county  or  city  Pharmaceutical  Associations.  One  member  of  each  of 
these  delegations  was  appointed  to  serve  on  the  Nominating  Committee 
and  a  member  from  each  of  two  other  Associations,  who  had  failed  to  send 
credentials,  was  added  by  special  vote.  From  the  Association  at  large 
Messrs.  A.  Nattans,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  F.  W.  Sennewald,  St.  Louis,  J. 
C.  Huber,  Fond  du  Lac,  Wis.,  W.  P.  Plummer,  Bradford,  111.,  and  J. 
Jesson,  Muskegan,  Mich.,  were  appointed  as  additional  members. 
The  Committee  on  Exhibits  was  constituted  as  follows :  W.  Mclntyre, 
Philadelphia,  W.  H.  Bergman,  Washington,  D.  C,  J.  Ingalls,  Macon,  Ga., 
Geo.  H.  Schafer,  Fort  Madison,  Ind.,  and  N.  A.  Kuhn,  Omaha,  Neb. 
The  names  of  sixteen  candidates  for  membership  were  announced  and 
the  minutes  of  the  Council  meetings  held  since  last  year  were  read  and 
approved.  The  report  of  the  Publishing  Committee  slated  the  total  cost  of 
publishing  and  distributing  the  Proceedings  of  the  past  year  to  be  $2,924.75 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Membership  announced  the  decease  of 
twelve  members  and  one  honorary  member  since  the  last  meeting.  The 
Committee  on  Legislation  reported  that  during  the  past  year  pharmacy 
laws  had  been  enacted  for  the  State  of  Ohio,  for  Erie  county,  N.  Y.,  and  for 
the  State  of  New  York,  excepting  New  York  city  and  the  counties  of 
Kings  and  Erie  in  which  somewhat  similar  laws  are  already  in  force,  so 
that  in  the  State  of  New  York  four  pharmacy  laws  are  in  existence  which 
differ  from  one  another  in  several  important  details.  The  report  also 
showed  that  a  national  pharmacy  law  could  not  be  enacted  under  the  Con- 
stitution of  the  United  States,  except  so  far  as  the  government  service  was 
concerned.  A  bill  giving  a  commission  and  the  rank  of  second  lieutenant 
to  the  apothecaries  of  the  army  and  navy  has  never  been  before  Congress, 
and  the  report  suggested  the  appointment  of  a  special  committee  for  this 
purpose. 
The  reports  of  other  committees  not  being  present,  the  Association 
adjourned  until  the  next  morning.
