tive Committee  to  omit  from  the  Proceedings  such  portions  of  the 
phonographic  report  as  pertain  merely  to  current  business,  and  hence 
are  not  of  general  interest  nor  of  scientific  importance,"  was 
rejected. 
The  Nominating  Committee  proposed  Mr.  Justin  Steer,  of  St. 
Louis,  as  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Adulteration,  and  Mr. 
H.  C.  Gaylord,  of  Cleveland,  as  Local  Secretary.  They  also  recom- 
mended that,  in  case  Mr.  Gaylord  should  not  be  able  to  serve,  the 
Executive  Committee  be  empowered  to  make  all  necessary  arrange- 
ments for  the  next  meeting.  Both  nominees  were  duly  elected,  and 
the  recommendation  adopted.

St.  Louis  for  the  use  of  the  hall,  to  the  resident  members  and  the 
pharmacists  and  druggists  of  St.  Louis  for  their  hospitality,  to  the
