reference  to  a  Committee  of  five  for  formulating  a  plan  embodying  the 
president's  idea. 
The  list  of  delegates,  which  was  reported  by  the  Council,  showed  that  dele- 
gations had  been  appointed  from 
Colleges  of  Pharmacy  :  Chicago,  Cincinnati,  Denver,  Illinois,  Louisville, 
Maryland,  Massachusetts,  National  (Washington),  New  York,  Philadelphia 
and  St.  Louis  ; 
State  Pharmaceutical  Associations  :  Alabama,  Arkansas,  Colorado,  Con- 
necticut, Delaware,  Florida,  Georgia,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Kansas,  Ken- 
tucky, Louisiana,  Maine,  Maryland,  Massachusetts,  Michigan,  Missouri,  New 
Hampshire,  New  Jersey,  New  York,  North  Carolina,  North  Dakota,  Ohio, 
Oregon,  Pennsylvania,  Rhode  Island,  South  Carolina,  South  Dakota,  Tennes- 
see, Texas,  Virginia,  Washington,  Wisconsin,  Nova  Scotia  and  Quebec  ; 
County  and  City  Associations  :  Cleveland,  O.;  Houston,  Tex. ;  Kings  Co., 
N.  Y. ;  German  Apothecaries,  New  York  ; 
Alumni  Associations  of  Colleges  of  Pharmacy :  Cincinnati,  Maryland, 
Massachusetts,  New  York,  Philadelphia  and  St.  Louis. 
The  Secretary  of  the  Council  presented  the  names  of  289  candidates  for 
membership.  Intimation  being  made  that  objections  might  be  made  to  one  of 
the  candidates,  voting  on  the  admission  was  for  the  present  postponed. 
Reports  of  Committees  were  called  for  and  laid  upon  the  table  for  future 
action. 
A  telegram  was  received  from  Dr.  Henry  O.  Marcy,  President  of  the  Ameri- 
can Medical  Association,  conveying  the  hearty  sympathy  of  that  Association, 
and  regretting  that  he  had  been  unexpectedly  detained. 
The  appointment  of  the  Nominating  Committee  was  effected  in  the  usual 
manner,  one  or  two  representatives  being  named  from  each  State  or  Province  ; 
the  representatives  of  six  other  States  arrived  too  late  to  be  represented  on  this 
Committee.  Messrs.  Diehl,  Ingalls,  Fennel,  Keppler  and  Ramsperger  were 
appointed  from  the  association  at  large. 
The  Secretary  of  the  Council  read  the  minutes  of  that  body  since  the  New 
Orleans  meeting,  which  were  approved.  Besides  the  business  transacted  in  the 
interim  between  the  two  meetings,  and  the  arrangement  of  the  business  for 
the  present  meeting,  various  reports  of  officers  and  committees  had  been 
examined  and  passed  upon. 
The  Committee  on  Membership  reported  the  decease  of  29  members  and  2 
honorary  members  during  the  preceding  year. 
The  Committee  on  Publication  recommended  that  the  plan,  inaugurated  last 
year,  of  furnishing  each  member  with  a  printed  copy  of  the  minutes,  in  pam- 
phlet form,  and  in  advance  of  the  bound  copy  of  the  Proceedings,  be  continued 
in  the  future.  Quite  a  number  of  partial  and  complete  sets  of  the  Proceedings 
have  been  sold  during  the  past  year,  realizing  $271.15,  and  these  sales  have 
reduced  several  of  the  older  issues  to  such  an  extent  that  they  are  likely  to  be 
soon  completely  out  of  print. 
There  is  still  a  steady  demand  for  the  National  Formulary;  during  the  eleven 
months  ending  May  30,  1892,  the  cash  receipts  from  this  source  were  $799.40 
and  the  expenses  $292,  making  the  total  cash  profit  to  the  Association,  since 
1888,  amount  to  $2,660.71,  aside  from  the  1,421  copies  which  have  been  furnished 
gratuitously  to  the  members  and  others.
