The  propriety  of  this  Association  taking  some  action  in  refer- 
ance  to  the  next  Pharmacopoeial  Convention  in  1860,  having 
been  brought  forward  in  the  Executive  Committee's  report,  it 
was  resolved  that  it  be  referred  to  a  committee  of  five  to  report 
next  year ;  and  E.  Parrish,  of  Philadelphia,  G.  W.  Andrews, 
of  Baltimore,  S.  M.  Colcord,  of  Boston,  W.  B.  Chapman,  of 
Cincinnati,  and  John  Meakim,  of  New  York,  were  appointed. 
A  resolution  directing  the  Executive  Committee  to  procure  a 
suitable  temporary  depository  in  Philadelphia,  for  the  printed 
and  manuscript  documents  of  the  Association,  and  for  .any 
specimens,  books,  or  other  contributions,  that  may  become  its 
property,  was  adopted. 
On  motion  it  was  Resolved,  That  the  remarks  on  the  plants  of 
Cherokee  Georgia,  by  Robert  Battey,  presented  by  the  Corres- 
ponding Secretary,  be  referred  to  the  Executive  Committee  for 
publication. 
The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Home  Adulterations  being 
called  up,  the  chairman,  Professor  Guthrie,  informed  the  Asso- 
ciation that  they  had  no  written  report,  but  they  were  in  poses- 
sion  of  a  large  number  of  facts  bearing  on  various  parties,  and 
wished  to  know  whether  it  was  the  will  of  the  Association  that 
their  names  be  reported  in  connection  w7ith  the  facts.  After 
some  discussion,  during  which  the  difficulty  of  fixing  fraudulent 
intent  on  parties  who  may  be  in  possession  of  adulterated  drugs 
was  fully  canvassed,  the  following  resolution,  offered  by  Mr. 
Procter,  was  adopted,  viz : 
Resolved,  That  the  Committee  on  Home  Adulterations  be 
continued,  and  instructed  to  report  next  year  all  the  facts  they 
can  authenticate,  and  bring  forward  any  recommendation  in 
reference  to  the  enactment  of  State  laws  controlling  this  evil, 
which  they  may  deem  advisable ;  and  that  the  members  of  this 
Association,,  and  all  others  interested,  be  requested  to  forward  to 
the  chairman  of  the  Committee,  C.  B.  Guthrie,  (No.  12  Gold 
street,  New  York),  all  information  bearing  upon  this  subject  that 
they  may  possess. 
On  motion  of  Professor  Guthrie,  G.  W.  Andrews,  of  Balti- 
more, was  substituted  for  George  D.  Coggeshall,  of  New  York, 
he  having  relinquished  the  drug  business.
