AMERICAN  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  following  circular-letter  has  been  issued  by  Prof.  A.  B.  Lyons,  Chairman 
of  the  Section  on  Education  and  Legislation  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association : 
"The  meeting  at  Put-in-Bay  promises  to  be  one  of  unusual  importance  as 
regards  the  work  of  the  Section  on  Education  and  Legislation.  The  way  has 
been  cleared  by  the  efficient  work  done  in  the  past,  for  the  intelligent  framing 
of  a  model  pharmacy  law.  It  is  hoped  that  every  member  of  the  Association 
will  study  carefully  the  reports  of  past  meetings  bearing  on  this  important 
question,  that  they  will  familiarize  themselves  especially  with  the  details  of 
fact  contained  in  the  report  presented  at  the  Baltimore  meeting,  and  come  to 
Put-in-Bay  with  very  definite  ideas  about  each  important  feature  of  a  model 
pharmacy  law. 
"  While  the  Association  may  find  that  it  is  not  yet  ready  to  take  final  action, 
it  should  be  possible,  by  concentrating  thought  and  effort  in  this  direction,  to
