Article  2. 
Sect.  (3d.)  Pharmaceutists,  chemists,  and  other  scientific  men  who  may 
be  thought  worthy  of  the  distinction,  may  be  elected  Honorary  members, 
upon  the  same  conditions  and  under  the  same  rules  that  appertain  to  active 
members.  They  shall  not,  however,  be  required  to  contribute  to  the  funds, 
nor  shall  they  be  eligible  to  hold  office  nor  to  vote  at  the  meetings. 
Moved  by  Mr.  Colcord  and  passed  that  the  following  section 
be  added  to  article  2d,  viz : 
Sect.  Ath.  Members  shall  be  entitled  on  the  payment  of  five  dollars  to 
receive  a  certificate  of  membership  signed  by  the  President,  one  Vice  Pre- 
sident, and  the  Secretary,  covenanting  in  writing  to  return  the  same  to  the 
proper  officers  on  relinquishing  their  official  connection  with  the  Associa- 
tion. 
Also  moved  by  Mr.  Parrish  and  carried,  that  all  existing 
members  of  the  Association  be  entitled  to  receive  the  certificate 
of  membership  at  the  price  of  subscription  reported  by  the  Com- 
mittee. 
The  report  of  the  Constitution  Committee  being  called  up,  on 
motion  it  was  referred  to  a  new  Committee  to  report  next  year. 
The  Chair  appointed  Edward  Parrish,  S.  M.  Colcord,  and  James 
S.  Aspinwall. 
The  Committee  on  Home  Adulterations  reported  verbally, 
through  their  Chairman,  Prof.  Guthrie,  but  this  form  of  report 
being  objected  to,  it  was  moved  by  Mr.  Colcord  and  carried,  that 
the  Committee  be  instructed  to  report  in  writing  to  the  Execu- 
tive Committee,  which  report,  if  approved  by  the  President,  shall 
be  published  with  the  proceedings  ;  the  Committee  was  con- 
tinued. 
[We  have  not,  as  yet,  been  able  to  get  this  report  from  the  Chairman 
of  the  Committee ;  it  contained  some  interesting  facts. — Editor.] 
On  motion  of  Mr.  Colcord,  it  was 
Resolved,  That  the  mere  publication  of  reports  and  other  pa- 
pers, especially  reports  of  Committees  not  unanimous,  shall  not 
be  considered  as  an  expression  of  the  views  of  the  Association. 
The  hour  for  hearing  scientific  papers,  and  for  examining  spe- 
cimens, having  arrived,  Mr.  A.  P.  Sharp,  of  Baltimore,  offered  a 
paper,  which  he  read,  on  the  strength  of  alcohol  and  acids,  and 
he  was  requested  to  furnish  an  abstract  for  publication  in  the 
Proceedings.
