mittee on  the  Drug  Market,  which  was  referred  for  publication. 
Mr.  Enno  Sander,  the  President  elect,  was  now  introduced  to  the 
meeting,  and  before  taking  the  chair  thanked  the  Association  for  the 
honor  conferred  upon  him,  which  he  accepted  as  a  compliment  for  St. 
Louis,  and  which  would  have  undoubtedly  been  tendered,  if  he  had 
lived  to  this  day,  to  our  lamented  friend  Eugene  L.  Massot. 
The  reports  of  the  Committees  on  Papers  and  Queries,  and  on  Adul- 
teration and  Sophistication,  were  read  and  referred.  The  Auditing 
Committee  reported  the  Treasurer's  accounts  correct  and  his  books  in

apothecaries  (see  page  423,  also  379  Amer.  Jour.  Ph.),  was  laid  be- 
fore the  Association.  An  attempt  to  have  the  entire  internal  revenue 
law,  as  far  as  it  relates  to  the  business  of  the  pharmacist,  referred  to
