large in numbers, but brilliant in scientific
attainments. My own ideas as to what
would be the best plan are but crude, and
these Suggestions are thrown out in the
hope that abler members Of this body will
mature a plan whereby the roster Of the
tennessee Pharmaceutical Association NAV
have enrolled upon it the name of every
honorable pharmacist Of tins State. /
would also recommend that we, in a feeble
way, follow the plans Of the American
Pharmaceutical Association in prODounding
queries 20 be answered either through the
PhGTmGcdl Gazette, or at our annual meet
ing, thereby making our yearly gathering
more interesting, and thus during the inter-
val stimulating US to search the endless
field Of discovery for something that at least

On Monday, June 2S, 1874, DR.. R.. D.
Maeaulley then President Of this Assoeia-
ton, died at the age Of As years, after a
painful illness at his home in Clarksville.
'sThers is 10 flock, however watched and tended.
But one dead lamb Is therel
There is no hresire, however defended,
But has one vacant ehairl"
In the death Of our much esteemed Co
operator and late President, DR.. Macaulley,
this Association has lost one Of its ableSt
members and devoted workers, while sOci-
ETY. and the profession at large has been
robbed Of an honest man and upright gen
tleman- His sterling qualities that made
him so endeared to the citizens Of Clarks-
vile and those who knew him best else
where, should be emulated by US. He was
self-eOmplete and brave and scOrned to do
a small act; he needed naught what men
thought OF said, but was fearless to do right.
"He made his own heart his world upon
the Way
or him it has been truly said: she felt
the full force Of a moral obligation, unde'-
stood well the responsibility Of a VirtuOus
life, and was earnest and faithful in the
performance Of all apparent duty. He was
a man of honor" His connection with
his association and other societies and the
resolutions offered at his death, renders his
name ever fresh 10 our memories.
Mature doth mourn for thee. There is no need
For man to strike his plaintive Tyre and fail,
As fail he must If he attempt thy praise"
In my remarks made no mention Of the
origin and antiquity Of the science of
pharmacy, that is a dead issue. The dusty
pages Of the past reveals 70 US what has
been discovered, but it is through the hOr-
OscOpe Of the future that We must discern
that which we most need to bring our pro-
fessiOn to the proper standard. Gentlemen,
l have in my administration, demonstrated
my utter WOrthlessness to I'll the position |
Of President Of this Association, and trust |
that my short cOmings may be overlooked, |
and in retiring from this chair, / wish to !
again express my heartfelt thanks to the |
