THE  AMUSING  SIDE  OF  PHARMACY. 
By  J.  H.  Redsecker. 
In  this  paper  the  author  referred  to  some  of  the  queer  aud  ludicrous  orders 
that  he  had  received  during  his  long  business  career.  One  of  these,  over  which 
he  had  puzzled  a  long  time  before  he  solved  it,  was  for  "I.  E.  Die,"  which  was 
construed  finally  to  mean  tincture  of  iodine.  The  President  then  called  upon 
Dr.  William  Harris,  of  Hamburg,  Pa.,  who  also  contributed  very  much  to  the 
amusement  of  the  occasion. 
SOME  PARTIALLY  UNEXPLORED  FIELDS  FOR  OCCUPATION  OF 
THE  IDLE  HOURS  OF  THE  PHARMACIST. 
By  F.  W.  F.  Stedem. 
The  author  urged  the  pharmacist  to  confine  himself  to  that  work  for  which, 
by  education  and  precept,  he  is  best  suited. 
THE  MODERN  PHARMACIST. 
By  John  F.  Patton. 
The  author  gave  some  reflections  anent  the  commercial  side  of  pharmacy. 
Among  other  things,  he  said  that  he  believed  that  pharmacy  affords  as  fair  a 
field  with  as  much  promise  of  success  for  man's  endeavor  as  any  other  occupa- 
tion. To  an  inquiring  mind  it  is  a  vista  of  unlimited  extent.  From  the  com- 
mercial side  no  one  can  complain  of  the  lack  of  variety  of  nature  products  with 
which  it  deals.  The  druggist  must  be  a  good  business  man  as  well  as  a  skillful 
pharmacist.  The  author  believes  in  advertising  in  the  daily  newspaper  ;  that 
success  or  failure  depends  alone  upon  the  individual,  and  that  nothing  is  so 
conducive  to  making  a  man  successful  as  conferences  with  his  fellows,  such  as 
are  to  be  had  at  the  annual  pharmaceutical  association  meetings. 
THE  MEDICAL  DRUGGIST. 
By  IyOUis  Emandel,  Ph.G. 
The  writer  claims  that  there  seems  to  be  no  justification  for  doctors  to  handle 
drugs  and  such  medicines  which  properly  belong  to  the  drug  store  in  direct 
competition  to  legally  qualified  druggists. 
MISCELLANEOUS  BUSINESS. 
A  special  committee  having  been  appointed  by  the  President  to  frame  reso- 
lutions on  the  death  of  Charles  A.  Heinitsh  and  Prof.  Henry  Trimble,  the  fol- 
lowing resolutions  were  read  by  the  Chairman,  Professor  Remington,  and 
adopted  : 
MR.  CHARLES  A.  HEINITSH. 
WhFRFAs,  Through  an  all-wise  Providence,  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceuti- 
cal Association  has  suffered  inexpressible  loss  through  the  death  of  our  first 
President  and  staunch  friend,  Mr.  Charles  A.  Heinitsh,  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  who 
has  been  taken  to  his  eternal  home  in  the  fullness  of  years  and  after  a  life  of 
long  and  useful  service  ;  be  it  therefore 
Resolved,  That  in  the  loss  of  one  who  has  endeared  himself  to  every  member 
by  his  rare  qualities,  his  nobility  of  character  and  his  sterling  virtues,  we  bow 
in  submission  to  His  will,  and  we  have  had  an  example  set  before  us  that  it 
should  be  our  greatest  aim  to  emulate. 
Resolved,  That  this  Association  place  upon  its  records  this  tribute  to  the 
memory  of  one  whose  kindly  heart  and  loving  spirit,  though  absent  from  our
