the  labor  involved  ;  and  whereas  it  has  subsequently  appeared  that  a  full 
set  of  the  Proceedings  was  not  in  possession  of  the  Association  ;  there-

the  general  Index  by  Mr.  Thomas  S.Wiegand,  the  Treasurer  be  directed 
to  procure  a  bound  copy  of  Muspratt's  Illustrated  Cyclopaedia  of  Chemis-

On  motion  of  Mr.  Parrish,  it  was  carried,  that  to-morrow,  at  11£  o'clock 
A.  M.,  be  designated  for  considering  the  next  place  of  meeting;  when,  on

Third  day — Fifth  Session,  August  9th,  1862. 
The  meeting  having  been  called  to  order  by  the  President,  on  motion 
of  A.  B.  Taylor,  J ames  T.  Shinn  was  appointed  Secretary  pro  tern.,  during 
the  absence  of  the  Secretary. 
On  motion,  a  preamble  and  resolution  were  brought  forward,  read  and 
discussed,  relative  to  an  individual,  now  a  member,  in  Boston,  who  has 
prostituted  the  Certificate  of  the  Association  and  the  names  of  its  officers 
to  further  the  sale  of  his  quack  preparations,  in  violation  of  his  written 
signature  of  agreement  to  uphold  the  objects  of  the  Association,  in  arti- 
cle 1st,  section  5th,  of  the  Constitution. 
After  considerable  discussion  of  the  merits  of  the  case,  a  vote  on  the 
resolution  for  expulsion  was  directed  to  be  taken  by  ballot. 
The  Chair  announced,  on  the  ballot  being  rendered  by  the  tellers,  that 
it  proved  unanimous  in  favor  of  the  resolutions,  and  the  Secretary  was 
directed  to  notify  him  of  the  action  of  the  Association. 
The  Executive  Committee  reported  the  names  of  A.  W.  Newton,  of 
Bristol,  Bucks  County,  Pa.,  J.  C.  Hughes,  of  Potts ville,  Pa.,  and  Greorge 
Y.  Shoemakor  of  Philadelphia,  as  candidates  for  membership.  They  were 
balloted  for  and  duly  elected. 
Mr.  Maisch  now  presented  the  following  preamble  and  resolutions, 
which  were  passed  unanimously: 
Whereas,  It  has  come  to  the  knowledge  of  the  American  Pharmaceu- 
tical Association,  that  the  tartar  produced  from  American  wine,  has 
hitherto  been  thrown  away  as  valueless  by  the  wine  growers,  therefore 
Resolved,  That  we  regard  the  production  of  tartar  from  American  wine 
of  great  importance,  on  account  of  the  extensive  uses  to  which  that  pro- 
duct is  applied  in  Pharmacy,  domestic  economy  and  the  arts  ;  that  we 
believe  that  crude  tartar  and  purified  (cream  of)  tartar  will  always  meet 
with  a  ready  sale  ,  and  that  the  wine  growers  will  advance  their  own  in- 
terests and  assist  in  developing  the  resources  of  American  Agriculture 
by  making  the  experiment  of  saving  the  tartar.
