Extract  from  the  report  of  the  special  committee  on  the  address 
of  the  President  of  the  Illinois  Pharmaceutical  Association  at  the 
annual  meeting  in  August,  1905.  Adopted  by  the  association  with- 
out a  dissenting  vote  : 
"  The  objects  of  the  Illinois  Pharmaceutical  Association  as 
expressed  in  the  Constitution  being  to  promote  the  advancement  of 
pharmacy  and  of  those  engaged  in  its  practice  to  a  higher  profes- 
sional standing,  the  support  and  encouragement  of  education  and  a 
more  thorough  preliminary  schooling  and  greater  scientific  require- 
ments for  the  practice  of  pharmacy.  Therefore  your  committee 
believes  that  at  this  time  action  should  be  taken  to  place  Illinois 
abreast  of  New  York  and  Pennsylvania  in  the  thoroughness  of  the 
pharmaceutical  training  demanded  by  law."

mote sufficient  special  training  for  pharmacy,  and 
"  Whereas,  The  progress  of  medical  science  carries  with  it  greater 
demands  upon  the  pharmacist  than  ever  before,  and
