PENNSYLVANIA  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION.1 
The  twenty-fourth  annual  meeting  of  the  Pennsylvania  pharma- 
ceutical Association  was  held  at  Harvey's  Lake,  near  Wilkesbarre, 
Pa.,  June  18-21.  After  the  usual  welcome,  the  President,  S.  K. 
Hammond,  made  the  annual  address. 
The  reports  of  the  Secretary  and  Treasurer  were  then  received, 
the  latter  reporting  a  creditable  balance.  The  Executive  Committee 
presented  their  report  through  Mr.  Gorgas,  eighteen  new  members 
being  received. 
A  communication  was  received  from  the  Secretary  of  the  N.  A.R.D., 
stating  that  the  Association  was  entitled  to  one  delegate  for  each  100 
members.  A  communication  was  presented  relative  to  the  pro- 
posed Procter  Memorial,  and  was  referred  to  the  Committee  on 
President's  Address. 
W.  L.  Cliffe,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Legislation,  reported 
the  failure  to  secure  the  desired  legislation,  as  having  been  caused 
to  some  extent  at  least  by  the  antagonism  felt  by  many  of  the  legis- 
lators to  the  State  Pharmaceutical  Examining  Board.  He  reported 
the  passage  of  an  act  repealing  the  re-registration  clause  of  the 
pharmacy  law,  and  increasing  the  fees  for  registration  after  exami- 
nation. 
A  number  ol  reports  were  received  from  various  local  associa- 
tions, indicating  increased  prosperity  from  organization.  Mr.  Pritch- 
ard,  of  the  Western  Pennsylvania  Retail  Association,  stated  that  the 
conditions  in  his  Association  at  the  present  time  were  more  favor- 
able than  he  had  ever  known  them.
