It  is  hoped  that  before  the  New  York  meeting  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  a  conference  can  be  held  with  the  office 
of  the  Surgeon-General  of  the  Army,  so  that  the  army  viewpoint  of 
such  legislation  can  be  properly  presented  at  the  meeting. 
The  reports  from  the  Ohio  Branch  of  the  National  Pharmaceutical 
Service  Association  were  most  gratifying  and  showed  an  intense  in- 
terest in  the  cause  of  military  pharmacists.  About  200  members  of 
this  branch  have  recently  renewed  their  allegiance  and  the  activities 
of  this  branch  were  commended. 
The  election  of  officers  for  the  ensuing  year  resulted  as  follows : 
President — Dr.  Frank  Cain,  Cincinnati. 
Vice-President — Caswell  A.  Mayo,  Cincinnati. 
Secretary — E.  Fullerton  Cook,  Philadelphia. 
Treasurer — Josiah  C.  Peacock,  Philadelphia. 
Executive  Committee — George  M.  Beringer,  Camden,  N.  J. ; 
Robert  P.  Fischelis,  Philadelphia,  Pa. ;  Eugene  G.  Eberle,  Philadel- 
phia, Pa. ;  William  D.  Robinson,  Philadelphia,  Pa. ;  Theo.  D.  Wet- 
terstroem,  Cincinnati,  Ohio;  Jeannot  Hostmann,  New  York  City, 
N.  Y. ;  Henry  Kraemer,  Ann  Arbor,  Mich. ;  Charles  H.  La  Wall, 
Philadelphia,  Pa. ;  Edwin  L.  Newcomb,  Minneapolis,  Minn. 
A  motion  of  appreciation  to  the  medical  friends  who  have  been 
helping  the  association  in  the  effort  to  secure  proper  ranking  for 
pharmacists  in  the  army  was  unanimously  approved.  It  was  sug- 
gested that  if  possible,  a  meeting  of  the  National  Pharmaceutical 
Service  Association  be  held  at  the  New  York  meeting  of  the  Amer- 
ican Pharmaceutical  Association  and  after  the  president's  recep- 
tion on  Wednesday  evening  was  suggested  as  an  appropriate  time. 
A  committee  consisting  of  Messrs.  Hunsberger  and  Eberle  were 
appointed  by  the  president  to  audit  the  treasurer's  accounts.

The  many  friends  of  the  subject  of  this  sketch  were  severely 
shocked  by  the  news  of  his  sudden  demise  at  his  late  residence  in
