mendously strong demand for a dose-book. I think that is one of the questions that this Association can take up. It might be well to have it appended to our National Formulary, which is a semi-official publication. I move that this matter be referred to the Section on Scientific Papers. The motion was duly seconded and carried. On motion of Mr. Eliel, the Association adjourned until Friday morning at 10 o'clock. THIRD SESSION-FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 15. The session was opened at 10 o'clock, President Finlay in the chair. The Permanent Secretary read the minutes of the second session, which were on motion approved. Mr. Kennedy presented the names of 72 candidates for membership, with the favorable recommendation from the Council. On motion the candidates were invited to join the Association. Mr. Thompson, on behalf of the committee appointed to consider the President's address, presented the following report: To the American Pharmaceutical Association: PROFILE HOUSE, N. H., July 14, 1892. Gentlemen: Your Committee to whom was referred the President's address to report on the recommendations therein contained, beg to submit the following recommendations in the order in which the several subjects occur in the address: 1. The suggestion that the delegates from this Association to the American Medical Association be selected from such of our members as are qualified for membership in the latter body, thereby affording them the opportunity of debate and voting on equal terms with other members of the American Medical Association, is a desirable step, and such members of our Association, when otherwise well qualified, ought to be preferred as delegates. But, your Committee are of the opinion that the interests and dignity of our Association on such occasions are best maintained, when we are represented by those members who are known and respected for their knowledge and skill in the science and art of pharmacy, and we deem it unwise to adopt a rule that would prevent their appointment because they were not members of an allied profession. 2. Mention was made by the President of the approaching International Pharmaceutical Congress, with a recommendation that a sum be appropriated to assist in defraying the expenses incidental to the Congress, where the Association is expected to be the host. Both the importance and necessity of providing the needed funds for the occasion must be apparent to all of us, and inasmuch as the subject is now before the Council, it is recommended that so much of the President's message as relates to the International Pharinaceutical Congress, be referred to that body. 3. The allusion of the President to those older members who have faithfully served the Association, aiding in its counsels and enriching its literature, to whom some tribute of our esteem is due, will meet the sympathy and approval of all. The details for the successful execution of the designs need time and care to complete them, and we would recommend that the subject be referred to a special committee of five, to develop and formulate a plan embodying the President's idea. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. S. THOMPSON, M. W. ALEXANDER, AMENDMENTS TO THE BY-LAWS. 47 On motion of Mr. Kennedy, the report was accepted and referred for publication.
