A  ballot  being  ordered,  Messrs.  Neergaard  and  Shedden, 
acting  as  tellers,  reported  their  unanimous  election. 
The  Business  Committee  laid  before  the  meeting  several  let- 
ters from  Mr.  J.  L.  Hunnewell,  of  Boston,  relative  to  being  re- 
instated in  membership.  After  a  discussion  of  the  subject, 
the  Association  declined  the  course  of  action  desired  by  Mr. 
Hunnewell,  by  a  unanimous  negative  vote. 
The  subject  of  selecting  a  place  for  the  next  annual  meeting 
being  brought  forward,  a  letter  was  read  from  Mr.  Eobert  J, 
Brown,  "  inviting  the  Association  to  hold  its  next  annual  meet- 
ing in  the  city  of  Leavenworth,  Kansas,  in  consideration  of  the 
easy  access  to  that  central  portion  of  the  United  States,  its  close 
proximity  to  the  plains,  and  in  view  of  the  opportunity  of  en- 
joying the  exciting  sport  of  a  buffalo  hunt." 
It  was  moved  that  when  we  adjourn,  we  adjourn  to  meet  in 
Philadelphia  on  the  second  Tuesday  in  September,  1868,  which 
motion  was  unanimously  carried. 
Alfred  B.  Taylor  was  nominated  for  Local  Secretary,  and 
unanimously  elected  by  ballot,  Messrs.  Frohwein  and  Krehbiel 
acting  as  tellers. 
The  Business  Committee  presented  the  following  : 
Whereas,  It  is  recognized  as  a  prominent  means  by  which  this  Asso- 
ciation hopes  to  increase  its  public  usefulness  as  a  national  Association, 
to  urge  upon  our  legislatures  the  importance  of  a  judicious,  but  certain, 
determined,  and,  as  far  as  practicable,  uniform  control  of  the  practice  of 
pharmacy  in  the  various  States ;  therefore, 
Resolved,  That  the  President  and  Executive  Committee  of  the  Asso- 
ciation be  authorized  and  instructed  to  offer  any  service  which  the  Asso- 
ciation can  render  to  the  various  conventions  for  reforming  State  Con- 
stitutions, and  to  State  Legislatures  as  opportunity  may  arise,  wherein 
such  bodies  may  consider  the  cooperation  of  the  Association  either  de- 
sirable or  useful. 
The  Secretary  offered  an  amendment,  to  substitute  the  words 
u  other  officers"  for  "Executive  Committee,"  so  as  to  read, 
"Kesolved,  that  the  President  and  other  officers  of  this  Asso- 
ciation be  authorized  and  instructed,"  &c. 
The  amendment  was  accepted,  and,  after  some  discussion,  the 
resolution  was  carried.
