The  business  transacted  was  mainly  of  a  routine  nature  and  con- 
sisted largely  of  reports  of  committees. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  National  Formulary  was  received 
and  the  Secretary  of  the  Association  was  instructed  to  secure  for  it 
widespread  publicity. 
The  committee  on  time  and  place  of  meeting  recommended  that 
the  next  annual  meeting  be  held  in  the  city  of  New  York. 
THIRD  GENERAL  SESSION  OF  THE  ASSOCIATION. 
The  third  general  session  of  the  Association  was  called  to  order 
immediately  after  the  adjournment  of  the  continued  second  session 
on  Saturday  morning,  September  8,  1906. 
From  the  minutes  of  the  council  it  was  learned  that  3 1 1  new 
members  had  joined  the  Association  since  the  meeting  in  Atlantic 
City,  N.  J.,  in  1 905,  and  that  the  total  active  membership  was

The  Committee  on  Resolutions,  through  its  chairman,  Professor 
Hallberg,  presented  a  number  of  resolutions  that  were  endorsed 
by  the  Association. 
From  the  Section  on  Commercial  Interests  the  committee  offered 
a  resolution  against  the  introduction  of  parcel  post. 
Another  resolution  from  the  same  section  commended  the  work  of 
women  pharmacists. 
The  committee  on  its  own  behalf  introduced  a  resolution  endors- 
ing the  work  of  the  Council  of  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of  the 
American  Medical  Association. 
A  second  resolution  provided  for  the  appointment  of  a  committee 
to  inquire  into  the  feasibility  of  reorganizing  the  machinery  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 
A  third  resolution  expressed  the  wish  that  the  recently  enacted 
pure  food  and  drug  law  be  properly  enforced. 
The  final  resolution  extended  the  sympathies  of  the  Association 
to  the  members  of  the  profession  in  San  Francisco  and  adjoining 
territory  in  their  loss  sustained  during  the  recent  catastrophe. 
After  the  introduction  of  the  officers  for  the  ensuing  year,  and 
the  usual  vote  of  thanks  to  the  retiring  officers  and  others  who  had 
contributed  to  the  success  of  the  present  meeting,  the  Fifty-fourth 
Annual  Session  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  was 
declared  adjourned.
