report  referring  to  the  Drug  Examiners  Law,  of  which  the  re-

drugs.  W.  Procter,  Jr.,  suggested  that  some  clause  should  be 
appended  to  the  report  if  published  as  read,  expressing  that  the 
Association  does  not  endorse  these  views.  Several  members  ex-

tion of  the  report,  referring  to  the  repeal  of  the  Drug  Law  be 
referred  to  a  committee  of  three.  *  The  Chair  appointed  William 
A.  Gellatly,  Daniel  C.  Eobbins  and  William  Procter,  Jr.,  to 
this  duty,  to  report  at  the  next  sitting.
