PENNSYLVANIA  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  annual  meeting  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation was  attended  by  a  large  number  of  pharmacists,  representing 
all  phases  of  the  profession  and  trade.  Great  enthusiasm  prevailed 
when  it  was  announced  by  John  C.  Wallace,  Chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  Legislation,  that  house  bill  532  for  the  restriction  of 
the  sale  of  habit-forming  drugs  had  passed  the  Senate  and  was  before, 
the  Governor.  This  bill  was  framed  by  L.  L.  Walton  of  Williams- 
port  and  received  the  support  of  the  State  Association  which,  with 
the  Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail  Druggists,  has  been  making 
every  effort  to  secure  its  passage.  It  prohibits  the  indiscriminate 
sale  of  such  drugs  as  opium,  morphine,  heroin,  and  codeine  except 
upon  the  prescription  of  a  physician,  dentist  or  veterinary,  but  does 
not  prohibit  the  public  from  getting  legitimate  preparations,  con- 
taining certain  specified  minimum  quantities  of  these  drugs.  The 
bill  conforms  to  a  national  measure  introduced  in  Congress  by  Repre- 
sentative Hartyson  of  New  York.  The  Association  forwarded  a 
resolution  to  Governor  Tener  urging  him  to  sign  the  bill. 
The  following  officers  were  elected :  President,  Richard  L. 
Lackey;  First  Vice  President,  Charles  R.  Rhodes;  Second  Vice 
President,  George  J.  Durbin;  Secretary,  Edgar  F.  Heffner;  Assistant 
Secretary,  Lewis  H.  Davis ;  Treasurer,  H.  E.  Gleim.
