duct  given  attention  ;  the  relation  of  doctor  and  druggist  not  for- 
gotten. Such  side  lines  as  shoe  polishes  and  stains,  photographic 
goods  and  spectacles  were  named  as  worthy  of  trial.  T.  V.  Wooten, 
Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Trade  Interests,  said  that  side  lines 
were  spoken  of  as  the  tendency  of  the  hour,  but  rather  deplored. 
He  considered  that  dispensing  physicians  are  increasing  in  number. 
He  said  self  interests  always  point  towards  co-operation  with  the 
physician  whenever  possible.  Substitution  was  condemned.  Neat 
packages  and  uniformly  good  preparations  were  noted.  He  said 
that  counter  prescribing  seldom  pays  in  the  long  run.  Farming 
out  small  retail  stores  by  jobbers  was  condemned.  Retailing  by 
wholesalers  received  attention.  Commercial  pharmacy  as  a  college 
course  was  emphasized. 
Professor  Oldberg,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  United  States 
Pharmacopoeia,  presented  a  very  comprehensive  report,  which  was 
referred  to  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  United  States  Phar- 
macopoeia. 
The  report  of  the  Advisory  Committee,  Department  of  Phar- 
macy, University  of  Illinois,  was  to  the  effect  that  during  the  year 
the  committee  had  conferred  with  the  faculty  of  the  school  at 
Champaign  and  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and,  as  a  result,  the  course 
has  been  extended,  the  faculty  enlarged,  and  instruction  in  physio- 
logy added  to  the  curriculum. 
The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year : 
President,  Walter  H.  Gale  ;  Vice-Presidents,  Henry  Swannell,  J. 
B.  Mount  and  Franz  Thomas;  Secretary,  R.  N.  Dodds,  Springfield  ; 
Treasurer,  George  C.  Bartells. 
The  time  and  place  of  the  next  meeting  was  left  to  the  Execu- 
tive Committee,  to  be  appointed  later  by  the  president.

The  twenty-lourth  annual  meeting  was  held  at  Crab  Orchard 
Springs,  June  1 8-21.    The  President,  C.  Lewis  Diehl,  in  a  very 
able  address1  in  which  he  touched  not  only  State  but  national 
affairs,  said  in  part  as  follows  : 
"Next  to  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  the  National  Formulary  should  appeal 
most  forcibly  to  our  sense  of  responsibility,  but  it  is  plain  that  in  this  respon-
