LOUISIANA  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION.1 
The  nineteenth  annual  meeting  was  held  in  New  Orleans,  May 
ioth.  The  President,  M.  Bernstein,  recommended  among  other 
things  that  Congress  be  requested  to  assist  in  the  passage  of  the 
bill  defining  the  status  of  the  navy  pharmacist.  Also  that  an  act 
be  drafted  regulating  the  hours  of  labor,  sale  of  poisons,  the  vending 
of  drugs  by  country  stores  within  a  certain  radius  of  a  drug  store 
and  the  examination  of  physicians  who  have  opened  drug  stores 
since  the  passage  of  the  law ;  also  requiring  all  pharmacists  to 
register  annually,  on  payment  of  a  nominal  fee. 
One  of  the  features  of  the  session  was  an  address  by  Prof.  H.  V. 
Arny,  of  Cleveland,  O.,  on  some  of  the  chemical  possibilities  of 
Louisiana.  He  said  that  he  would  purposely  omit  sugar  from  his 
address,  inasmuch  as  the  subject  could  not  be  included  within  a 
brief  paper.  The  speaker  dwelt  interestingly  on  the  products  that 
could  be  made  from  turpentine,  namely,  camphor,  lavender  per- 
fume, etc.  Another  possibility  was  the  development  of  the  industry 
of  making  orange  flower  water  from  the  petals  of  the  orange  blos- 
som.
