reason  why  no  attempt  was  made,  says  the  report,  was  that  the 
Committee  on  Legislation  early  discovered  that  certain  members 
had  come  to  the  capital  cocked  and  primed  with  legislation  inimical 
to  pharmacy,  as  well  as  against  the  best  interests  of  the  people, 
which  they  had  determined  to  force  through.  Among  the  many 
fool  things  that  were  proposed  by  the  legislators  referred  to,  was  a 
clause  tacked  onto  a  medical  practice  bill,  imposing  a  fine  of  $100  on 
any  pharmacist  or  druggist  who  recommended  a  medicine,  whether 
proprietary  or  not.  The  committee  centered  its  work  on  the  defeat 
of  the  clause  and  effected  it.  Unfortunately,  however,  the  medical 
practice  bill,  which  was  shorn  of  this  obnoxious  paragraph,  a  good 
and  wise  act,  was  also  defeated.  The  report  gave  strong  praise  and 
commendation  to  the  Senate  of  Arkansas  for  its  liberal  and  benefi- 
cent treatment  of  pharmacy.  The  report  was  received  and  accepted. 
The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year : 
President,  William  R.  Appleton  ;  Vice-Presidents,  J.  H.  Carna- 
han  and  J.  H.  Chestnutt ;  Secretary,  L.  K.  Snodgrass,  Little  Rock  ; 
Treasurer,  J.  A.  Junkind ;  Executive  Committee,  J.  F.  Dowdy,  J.  B. 
Bond,  Jr.,  C.  K.  Lincoln. 
COLORADO  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  twelfth  annual  meeting  was  held  at  Manitou,  June  19th.  The 
President,  C.  D.  Barnes,  in  his  address,  deplored  the  passage  of  the 
recent  law  compelling  druggists  to  pay  a  State  liquor  tax  of  $25. 
The  following  officers  were  elected  to  serve  during  the  ensuing 
year :

Whiting ;  Secretary,  Charles  E.  Ward  ;  Local  Secretary,  H.  F.

CONNECTICUT  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
The  twenty-fifth  annual  meeting  was  held  at  Branford,  June 
U-I2.    Numerous  reports  were  read. 
J  K.  Williams  reported  that  during  the  past  year  no  change  had 
been  made  in  the  laws  affecting  pharmacists  ;  no  legislation  pre- 
judicial to  their  profession  had  been  passed.    The  interests  of  the
