MINUTES  OF  THE 
Arthur  W.  G-ahaudan^  of  New  York.   (See  page  191,  vol.  xlii.) 
Peter  V.  Coppuch,  of  Mt.  Holly,  N.  J.  (See  page  92,  vol.  xlii). 
John  Sylvester  Benzinger,  of  Baltimore,  died  Dec.  14,  1869, 
and  had  been  a  member  nine  years. 
William  H.  Muller,  of  Chicago,  111.,  died  in  the  43d  year  of 
his  age.  He  was  educated  in  Hameln  as  a  pharmaceutist,  and

Henry  6r.  B'Evers,  of  Chicago,  111.,  was  born  in  Hanover, 
Germany,  studied  at  the  Universities  of  Giessen,  Gottingen 
and  Jena.  He  emigrated  to  America  in  1848,  residing  succes- 
sively in  New  York,  Sandusky,  Buffalo  and  Chicago,  and  was  a 
pharmaceutist  in  good  esteem.  His  death  was  the  result  of  ac- 
cident.   He  leaves  a  wife  and  three  children. 
Herschel  Parker^  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  died  on  the  8th  of 
August,  1870,  in  his  41st  year.  He  was  a  pharmaceutist  in 
good  standing,  and  has  been  three  years  a  member  of  this  Asso- 
ciation. 
The  report  also  contains  notices  of  M.  Boullay  and  M.  Rohi- 
net,  both  of  whom  were  honorary  members  of  the  Association, 
but,  as  we  have  published  obituary  notices  already  (see  page  93 
and  192  of  this  volume)  it  is  not  necessary  to  repeat  them.] 
[The  report  of  the  Permanent  Secretary  to  the  Executive 
Committee  contains  various  information  of  interest  relative  to 
memberships,  the  stock  of  Proceedings,  the  distribution  of  the 
Proceedings  to  American  and  foreign  libraries  and  societies,  and 
the  expenses  of  the  year.  The  Secretary  advises  the  reduction 
of  the  number  of  complimentary  copies  distributed,  as  various 
bodies  publishing  journals  and  editors  of  journals  either  fail  to 
exchange  altogether  or  do  it  so  irregularly  that  no  advantage 
comes  to  the  Association  from  a  continuance  of  the  exchange.] 
Mr.  Taylor  then  offered  the  following : 
Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  be  requested  to  telegraph  a  fraternal 
message  to  the  British  Pharmaceutical  Conference,  now  in  session  in 
Liverpool. 
The  delegations  were  then  called  on  to  name  each  a  member 
to  serve  on  the  Nominating  Committee.
