break  all  previous  records,  and  that  the  Association  would,  as  in 
the  past,  stand  next  to.  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in 
the  variety  and  importance  of  the  papers  presented,  many  of 
which  had  required  much  time  in  their  preparation.

of  Messrs.  Wray,  Gorgas,  and  Grohman. 
Mr.  John  C.  Wallace,  of  Newcastle,  Penna.,  presented  the  report

the  session  adjourned. 
The  evening  session  was  called  to  order  at  8.30  by  President 
Thomas,  who  stated  that  owing  to  the  enforced  absence  of  the 
Speaker  who  was  to  deliver  the  address  of  welcome  to  the  members 
of  the  Association,  that  part  of  the  evening's  programme  would 
have  to  be  omitted.  He  would,  however,  call  upon  Dr.  Lowe  to 
respond  on  behalf  of  the  members,  to  the  address  which  should  have 
been  given.  Dr.  Lowe,  in  his  customary  style,  entertained  the 
members  with  a  short  speech,  after  which  Mrs.  D.  F.  McMurtrie, 
of  Altoona,  responded  in  behalf  of  the  ladies.

and  contained  recommendations  for  the  registration  of  apprentices, 
the  enactment  of  a  law  deciding  the  ownership  of  prescriptions} 
and  the  awarding  of  a  medal  for  the  most  meritorious  paper  pre- 
sented at  each  annual  meeting.

consisted  of  Messrs.  Hay,  Walton,  Pritchard  and  Mclntyre.

work  which  was  being  done  in  behalf  of  the  Procter  Memorial, 
which  was  inaugurated  several  years  ago  by  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  and  which  was  now  assuming  tangible  shape.
