pertaining  particularly  to  legislative  subjects  were  read  and  discussed 
at  this  time.  At  the  fifth  session  on  Wednesday  afternoon,  the  first

bach,  Pittsburg,  chairman ;  members,  Louis  Frank,  Wilkes-Ba.rre,

association. 
A  number  of  original  papers  were  then  read  upon  various  scien- 
tific and  commercial  topics,  eliciting,  in  more  than  a  few  instances, 
valuable  discussions.  At  this  session  the  committee  appointed  by 
the  President  to  draft  resolutions  on  the  deaths  of  J.  H.  Redsecker 
and  J.  H.  Stein  reported,  and  a  short  period  was  devoted  to  this  sub- 
ject in  order  to  give  those  members  who  were  well  acquainted  with 
the  deceased  an  opportunity  of  saying  a  few  words. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Time  and  Place  of  Meeting, 
presenting  several  propositions  to  the  members,  was  discussed,  and 
a  ballot  was  taken  which  resulted  in  an  overwhelming  majority 
in  favor  of  Bueni  Vista  Springs  Hotel  for  the  meeting  in  1910. 
Th?  rest  of  the  session  was  devoted  to  the  reading  and  discussion 
of  original  papers,  which  was  continued  in  the  seventh  session  on 
Thursday  afternoon,  the  only  other  business  considered  at  this  ses- 
sion being  the  report  of  the  Auditing  Committee,  the  adoption  of 
resolutions  commending  Dr.  Wiley,  and  the  endorsing  of  his  work 
under  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act.
