The  Committee  on  Trade  Interests  reported  that  chairmen  had 
been  appointed  for  each  county  in  the  State,  and  that  an  effort  had 
been  made  to  secure  the  organization  of  county  societies  to  be  affili- 
ated with  the  Pennsylvania  Association.  At  the  present  time  there 
are  some  thirty  local  societies  in  the  State.  Reports  were  received 
from  the  Committee  on  Adulterations,  by  Mr.  LaWall,  the  Com- 
mittee on  Membership,  by  Mr.  Bransom,  the  Committee  on  Chem- 
istry, by  Prof.  Moerk,  and  the  Committee  on  Botany,  by  Prof. 
Kraemer. 
The  Committee  on  Free  Dispensaries  reported  through  Prof.  Rem- 
ington that  a  meeting  of  the  joint  committee  of  this  Association 
and  the  State  Medical  Association  had  been  held.  They  recom- 
mended that  a  law  be  passed  requiring  the  keeping  in  each  dispen- 
sary of  a  register  in  which  all  recipients  of  medicine  shall  be 
required  to  sign  their  names  and  residences,  with  penalties  attached 
for  imposing  upon  the  hospital  authorities.  The  recommendation 
was  agreed  to,  and  the  Secretary  ordered  to  send  a  copy  of  this 
action  to  the  Secretary  of  the  State  Medical  Society,  and  to  our 
delegates  to  that  society. 
The  reports  of  the  delegates  to  the  different  State  and  National 
Associations  were  then  presented. 
An  order  was  directed  to  be  drawn  upon  the  Treasurer  for  the 
amount  of  $50  in  favor  of  the  Committee  on  Legislation,  and  the 
thanks  of  the  Association  were  ordered  to  be  presented  to  the 
Philadelphia  Retail  Druggists'  Association  for  their  hearty  financial 
support  to  secure  the  needed  legislation.  Mr.  Cliffe  reported  that 
the  committee  to  secure  a  portrait  of  the  late  Chas.  A.  Heinitsh  had! 
been  quite  successful,  and  that  an  excellent  portrait  had  been  hung 
in  the  Museum  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year :  Presi- 
dent, W.  L.  Cliffe,  Philadelphia ;  First  Vice-President,  W.  F.  Horn,
