number  of  samples  with  an  over-weight  in  the  quantity  of  the  chemicals 
required  was  as  large  as  that  with  insufficient  quantities. 
An  animated  discussion  was  occasioned  by  C.  H.  Ware's  paper  in 
reply  to  the  query,  "Can  the  Retail  Pharmacist  Make  his  own  Secret 
Preparations  with  Financial  Success  to  Himself?"  It  was  finally 
decided  that  he  could. 
The  election  resulted  in  the  choice  of  the  following  officers : 
President,  Louis  Schulze ;  First  Vice-President,  J.  Webb  Foster ; 
Second  Vice-President,  Eli  T.  Y.  Reynolds;  Third  Vice-President,

The  twentieth  annual  meeting  was  held  at  Fall  River,  June  11- 
12.  F.  A.  Hubbard,  the  President,  delivered  an  address  devoted 
principally  to  the  consideration  of  problems  that  confronted  the 
pharmacists  of  that  state.  The  Secretary,  James  F.  Guerin,  reported 
an  increase  in  membership.  The  report  of  the  Treasurer,  T.  B. 
Nichols,  showed  a  balance  in  the  treasury.  The  Committee  on 
President's  Address  recommended  among  other  things,  "  the  en- 
dorsement of  the  work  of  the  Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy; 
the  establishment  of  a  scholarship  in  the  College  of  Pharmacy,  the 
expense  to  be  $130  per  year,  the  board  of  directors  of  this  Associa- 
tion to  direct  all  the  details  of  the  scholarship." 
The  following  papers  were  presented  : 
"  Iuter-Relation  of  Medicine  and  Pharmacy."  By  the  late  Professor  Green- 
leaf.  This  was  presented  by  C.  F.  Nixon,  being  the  last  work  from  the  pen  of 
Dr.  Greenleaf  and  was  somewhat  incomplete,  he  evidently  having  expected  to 
revise  it. 
"  Pharmaceutical  Legislation. "    By  W.  J.  Bullock. 
"  Unregistered  Clerks  and  Registered  Druggists."  Mr.  Hielberg  suggested 
a  change  in  the  pharmacy  law  to  the  effect  that  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  should 
have  the  power  to  grant  a  certificate  for  a  limited  time  to  registered  druggist 
for  his  unregistered  clerk.
