The  twenty-second  annual  meeting  was  held  at  Tope ka,  May  21 
-23.  The  President,  H.  W.  Mehl,  in  his  address,  complimented 
the  State  Legislature  upon  its  liberality  in  appropriating  $55,000 
for  a  new  chemical  laboratory  and  building  at  the  the  State  Uni- 
versity at  Lawrence. 
H.  L.  Raymond  presented  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  the 
School  of  Pharmacy  at  the  State  University,  in  which  he  stated  that 
the  condition  of  the  students,  buildings,  apparatus,  etc.,  were  in  a 
greatly  improved  condition.  The  attendance  was  much  increased 
and  highly  encouraging.  The  liberality  of  the  Legislature  was  fit- 
tingly acknowledged,  but  attention  was  called  to  the  unfinished 
condition  of  some  of  the  new  departments,  and  aid  was  asked  for  funds 
to  complete  them.  The  extension  of  the  course  from  two  to  three 
years  was  recommended,  and  it  was  thought  that  all  interests  would 
be  better  conserved  if  this  were  done.  The  report  was  signed  by 
the  full  committee.  Professor  Sayre,  as  a  supplement  to  the  report, 
called  attention  to  the  vast  number  of  new  remedies  introduced 
during  the  last  two  years,  and  presented  an  analysis  of  the  thera- 
peutical character  of  the  list  (embracing  in  all  170  remedies). 
The  Committee  on  Legislation  directed  attention  to  the  law 
enacted  at  the  last  session  of  the  Legislature  prohibiting  the  sale  ot 
morphine,  cocaine  and  chloral-hydrate,  except  on  the  prescription 
of  authorized  physicians.  The  committee  recommends  to  every 
druggist  that  the  poison  register  be  kept  close  at  hand  and  that 
every  sale  of  poison  be  scrupulously  entered  therein  at  the  time  of 
such  sale. 
W.  E.  Sheriff,  Secretary  of  the  Kansas  Board  ot  Pharmacy,  pre. 
sented  his  report  of  the  transactions  of  the  Board  from  June  7,  1900, 
to  May  20,  1901.  It  announces  the  completion  of  the  indexing  of 
the  names  of  the  registered  pharmacists  and  registered  assistants, 
and  the  purchase  of  a  case  for  keeping  the  records.  A  record  is 
being  kept  of  those  (non-pharmacists)  to  whom  licenses  for  sale  of 
domestic  remedies  are  issued.  The  examination  of  108  drug  stores, 
made  by  H.  W.  Mehl,  shows  that  of  the  proprietors,  eighty  are 
registered.  Of  the  remainder,  eleven  are  conducted  by  registered 
managers  and  twenty-six  registered  clerks.  Mr.  Mehl  found  seventy- 
nine  poison  registers.   Examination  reports  showed  117  general  mer-
