ment  that  if  the  law  of  1848  were  repealed  some  provision  should  be 
made  for  protecting  this  country  against  the  possibility  of  its  becom- 
ing the  dumping  ground  for  foreign  goods,  but  inclined  to  the  view 
that  this  contingency  would  be  provided  against  by  Sections  7  and  8 
of  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act. 
Mr.  Kline  also  commended  the  paper  of  Mr.  Beringer,  and  said 
that  while  he  did  not  know  the  sentiment  of  the  country  or  of  the 
meeting  in  regard  to  Section  7  of  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act,  he 
thought  that  an  opinion  should  be  given  which  would  serve  to  guide 
those  interested  in  legislation. 
Dr.  Lyman  F.  Kebler,  Chief  of  the  Division  of  Drugs,  Bureau  of 
Chemistry,  considered  the  "  Relation  of  the  Act  of  1848  to  the  Food 
and  Drugs  Act  of  1906"  (see  page  17). 
At  the  close  of  the  discussion  the  following  motion,  which  v  as 
presented  by  Joseph  W.  England,  was  adopted: 
That  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  to  consider  the  subject  of 
the  Act  of  1848  and  its  regulations  together  with  the  draft  of  a  law 
prepared  by  Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  to  the  end  that  a  new  law  may 
be  enacted ;  and  that  the  committee  cooperate  with  other  trade 
organizations  working  toward  the  same  end. 
As  members  of  this  committee,  the  chairman  appointed  the  fol- 
lowing :  George  M.  Beringer,  chairman,  Joseph  W.  England,  M.  N. 
Kline,  Wm.  Mclntyre  and  Charles  H.  LaWall. 
Florence  Yaple, 
Secretary,  pro  tern.
