191 2.  After  considerable  discussion  Denver  was  by  vote  of  the 
members  present  selected  as  the  place  of  meeting.  The  association 
at  this  session  also  adopted  a  resolution,  offered  by  Joseph  P. 
Remington,  endorsing  the  spirit  and  the  letter  of  the  Pure  Food 
and  Drugs  Law,  and  commending  Dr.  H.  W.  Wiley  for  the  methods 
followed  by  him  in  enforcing  this  law.  A  third  special  session  of 
the  Association  was  held  Friday  evening  after  the  adjourned  meet- 
ing of  the  Section  on  Historical  Pharmacy.  This  session  was  called 
for  the  purpose  of  presenting  a  number  of  changes  in  the  By-laws 
of  the  Association,  providing  for  the  change  in  the  nature  of  the 
publications  of  the  Association,  the  changes  necessitated  by  the 
By-laws  adopted  by  the  Section  on  Scientific  Papers,  and  also  a 
change  in  the  By-laws  providing  for  the  transference  of  the  be- 
ginning of  the  fiscal  year  of  the  Association  from  July  to  January, 
and  an  increase  in  the  salaries  of  a  number  of  the  paid  officials  of 
the  Association.  At  the  final  session  of  the  Association  on  Saturday 
morning  these  several  changes  were  endorsed,  and  at  the  conclusion 
of  this  session  John  G.  Godding  of  Boston,  President,  and  the 
remaining  officers  for  the  ensuing  year  were  installed. 
The  Council  of  the  Association  announced  the  election  of  H.  M. 
Whelpley  of  St.  Louis,  as  Treasurer ;  James  H.  Beal  of  Scio,  Ohio, 
General  Secretary  and  Editor ;  Henry  Biroth  of  Chicago,  Hon- 
orary President ;  E.  G.  Eberle  of  Dallas,  Texas,  Chairman  of  the 
Council,  and  Joseph  W.  England  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Secretary. 
The  outgoing  officers  of  the  Association  were  given  a  vote  of 
thanks  for  the  efficient  manner  in  which  they  had  conducted  the 
business  of  the  Association,  and  the  Bqston  pharmacists  and  others 
who  had  contributed  to  the  success  of  the  meeting  were  also  given 
a  vote  of  thanks.  It  was  generally  agreed  among  the  members 
present  that  whatever  uncertainty  there  might  be  regarding  the 
future  of  the  Association,  there  could  be  no  mistaking  the  fact  that 
the  Boston  pharmacists  and  Bostonians  generally  had  proven  them- 
selves to  be  royal  entertainers,  and  that  so  far  as  the  social  events 
of  the  annual  gatherings  might  be  concerned  the  Fifty-ninth  Annual 
Meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  will  long 
be  remembered  as  one  of  the  most  pleasant,  and  socially  the  most 
successful  that  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  has  ever 
held.
