Am-octuyiS.arm'}    American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  529 
was  then  directed  to  be  appointed  to  consider  and  report  upon  the  relations 
between  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  the  American  Medical 
Association. 
The  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  being  in  session  at 
Old  Point  Comfort,  on  motion  of  Prof.  Whelpley,  the  members  of  that  commit- 
tee, who  are  not  members  of  the  Association,  were  invited  to  attend  the 
sessions  with  the  privileges  of  the  floor. 
Second  session. — After  the  reading  and  approval  of  the  minutes  of  the  pre- 
ceding session,  the  Nominating  Committee  presented  the  following  nomina- 
tions for  officers  for  the  ensuing  year  :  President,  Alfred  B.  Taylor,  Philadel- 
phia; Vice-Presidents,  A.  B.  Stevens,  Ann  Arbor,  Chas.  E.  Dohme,  Baltimore, 
and  J.  M.  Good,  St.  Louis  ;  Permanent  Secretary,  John  M.  Maisch,  Philadel- 
phia ;  Treasurer,  S.  A.  D.  Sheppard,  Boston  ;  Reporter  on  the  Progress  of 
Pharmacy,  C.  L.  Diehl,  Louisville  ;  and  Members  of  Council,  P.  C.  Candidus, 
Mobile,  C.  E.  Goodman,  Omaha,  and  H.  M.  Whelpley,  St.  Louis.  The 
nominees  were  duly  elected. 
The  minutes  of  the  Council  sessions  were  read  and  approved  ;  25  new  mem- 
bers were  elected,  and  amendments  to  the  by-laws  were  adopted,  consolidating 
the  two  sections  on  legislation  and  on  education  into  one.  Various  reports 
were  read,  among  them  the  report  on  prize  essays,  awarding  the  Kbert  prize 
for  the  past  year  to  Prof.  Wm.  T.  Wenzell,  of  San  Francisco,  for  his  essay  on 
the  coloring  principles  of  flowers. 
An  amendment  to  the  by-laws  was  offered,  contemplating  the  re-establish- 
ment of  an  admission  fee  on  joining  the  Association  ;  the  proposition  was 
finally  laid  over  until  next  year.  The  same  disposition  was  made  of  an  amend- 
ment to  the  constitution  creating  the  office  of  Assistant  Secretary  ;  likewise  of 
an  amendment  to  the  by-laws  offered  at  the  last  session,  creating  a  permanent 
Committee  on  Transportation,  consisting  of  five  members,  including  the  Local 
Secretary  and  one  member  each  from  New  York,  Chicago,  St.  Louis  and  New 
Orleans. 
A  telegram  conveying  congratulations  from  the  Kings  County,  N.  Y.,  Phar- 
maceutical Association  was  received  and  directed  to  be  acknowledged  by  letter. 
The  report  of  the  committee  on  the  President's  address  was  discussed  and 
adopted,  ordering  the  appointment  of  a  committee  charged  with  drawing  up 
suitable  resolutions  in  reference  to  the  death  of  the  late  President  Painter  ; 
recommending  to  the  Section  on  Education  and  Legislation  the  consideration 
of  the  subject  of  apprenticeship  ;  approving  of  a  conference  of  the  Committee 
on  Legislation  with  the  State  Secretaries  for  formulating  a  plan  for  the  inter- 
change of  certificates  of  the  State  Boards  of  Pharmacy  ;  and  disapproving  of 
the  suggested  election  of  the  Presidents  of  State  Associations  as  Vice-Presi- 
dents of  this  Association. 
Propositions  were  made  for  holding  the  next  meeting  at  Nashville,  Tenu., 
and  at  Hot  Springs,  Ark.,  but  they  were  ruled  out  of  order  at  the  time,  and  a 
committee  was  subsequently  appointed,  which  reported  in  favor  of  holding  the 
next  meeting  in  New  Orleans  on  the  second  Monday  in  May,  1891  ;  a  minority 
report  favored  St.  Louis.  The  amendment  to  select  the  latter  city  was  lost 
by  a  vote  of  26  ayes  against  64  nays,  and  the  time  for  holding  the  meeting  was 
finally  referred  to  the  Council  to  be  changed,  if  necessary,  so  as  not  to  clash 
with  the  meeting  of  the  American  Medical  Association.
