vations relating  to  Chili.

Ohio  State  Pharmaceutical  Association. — To  the  untiring  efforts  of  Mr.  Lewis 
C.  Hopp,  of  Cleveland,  ably  seconded  by  Mr.  Huston,  of  Columbus,  and  others,  is 
due  the  organization  of  this  the  youngest  of  the  State  pharmaceutical  societies  of 
this  country.  A  number  of  the  druggists  of  Ohio  met  at  the  Board  of  Trade  room 
in  Columbus  on  the  second  day  of  September,  and  effected  a  temporary  organization 
by  electing  Prof.  J.  F.  Judge,  of  Cincinnati,  chairman,  and  Dr.  Thos.  J.  Casper,  of 
Springfield,  secretary.  A  committee,  appointed  for  the  purpose,  presented  the  draft 
of  a  constitution  and  by-laws,  based  mainly  upon  those  in  force  for  the  government 
of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association.  After  the  consideration  and 
adoption  of  the  draft  presented,  a  nominating  committee  was  appointed.
