AMERICAN  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
greater  sense  than  mere  membership  would  imply  Our  objects  were  with 
him  matters  of  every  day  thought  and  study  ;  he  was  a  student  in  phar- 
macy and  medicine  to  the  last  of  his  business  career,  and  one  of  the  most 
thoroughly  read  apothecaries  in  our  city  ;  his  small  library  contained  the 
mosfc  recent  works  and  bore  evidence  of  attentive  perusal ;  his  leisure  mo- 
ments were  spent  in  reading  and  attention  to  theoretical  pharmacy  ;  he 
understood  the  value  of  a  thorough  pharmaceutical  education,  and  it  was 
often  the  subject  of  conversation  between  us.  In  one  of  my  latest  inter- 
views, with  him  he  informed  me  that  it  was  his  purpose  to  send  his  two 
clerks  to  Philadelphia  to  attend  the  lectures  of  that  college,  and  take  ad- 
vantage of  the  better  facilities  for  a  thorough  pharmaceutical  education 
offered  in  that  city,  with  a  view  to  making  them  adepts  in  the  profession. 
As  a  business  man  Mr.  Geyer  was  honest  in  his  dealings,  energetic 
and  attentive  to  business,  gentlemanly  in  his  deportment,  agreeable  in  con- 
versation, candid  in  the  expression  of  his  views  and  feelings,  and  warm  in 
his  friendship.  His  attachment  to  the  objects  of  our  Association,  and  the 
warm  interest  he  was  pleased  to  manifest  towards  us,  will  long  remind  us 
that  in  his  death  we  have  lost  the  counsel  and  valuable  services  of  an  effi- 
cient member,  and  Pharmacy  a  sincere  friend  to  its  progress  and  profes- 
sional advancement." 
On  motion  of  Mr.  Colcord  the  following  resolution  was  unani- 
mously adopted,  and  his  remarks  preceding  were  also  directed  to 
be  placed  among  the  minutes. 
Resolved,  That  this  Association  has  learned  with  deep  regret 
the  death  of  our  esteemed  associate,  Andrew  Geyer,  of  Boston. 
His  amiable  qualities,  professional  ability,  and  the  warm  interest 
he  manifested  in  our  Association,  lead  us  to  deplore  his 
death,  as  of  one  devoted  to  the  best  interests  of  pharmacy,  and 
a  loss  to  our  Association  ;  one  for  whom  we  entertained  feelings 
of  friendship,  and  to  whose  memory  we  pay  this  spontaneous 
tribute  of  respect. 
The  consideration  of  the  report  on  the  Certificate  of  Mem-
