cal Association.
The State Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion met in the Senate Chamber in
this city on Wednesday afternoon,
with President j. J. Brooks, of Rich
mond, in the chair and seventy.five
delegates in attendance. DR.. U. v.
Williams, on behalf of the local
members of the Association and the
citizens of Frankfort, delivered the
following address of welcome:
Gentlemen of the Kentucky Pharma-
ceutical association:
To me has been assigned the dis
tinguished honor of welcoming you
to our little hill-girt, flower-embow-
cred, queen city of the valley, the
Capital of the Commonwealth, the
center of both civilization and gray
itation, and, as we believe, the geo.
graphical pole of the world. We
welcome you to the hospitable homes
of our citizens, the unlimited use of
all our points of attractions, our
public libraries, our private homes,
our manufactures, saw-mills, tunnel,
drift pile. even our distilleries, all,
all are yours, just for the taking.
Every thing that is beautiful to the
eye, attractive to the senses, every
thing you see, or hear, or feel, or
taste, or appreciate, is yours. OF all
this Edenic beauty you shall, like
our first parents, freely partake, save
of only one tree shall we not eat, for
that brings death--spare the Capital.
lay no sacrilegious hand upon its
prehistoric grandeur.
Woodman spare that tree,
Touch not single bCugh;
In youth 1t sheltered me,
And will protect 1t
Until the Con. Con. comes again
1t has been said by some one in the past,
That men from out q common mould are cast,
And at glance, AL human races through,
This may be held as very nearly true.
In outward shape, at least, 1t seems to strike
The rapid eye, that men are much alike;
But when 1t comes to be exactly just,
get at men beneath their outer crust.
1t will be found that In their hearts and souls,
They stand as far apart as do the poles.
Some of one kind the largest class perhaps.
Are. at their very best, but selfish chaps
Will show no care for aught save number one.
While others, on the true Ben Adhem plan,
Are filed with love for all their fellOw"man.
This hasty rhyme will have the most to do
philanthropy, which is not all a dream,
II make In this short screed my only theme.
To do the best you can through mortal life
In shielding man from sorrow pain and strife.
i humbly think is something very near
The Makers plan, In placing mortalS here
The man who gives his life TO curing Ills,
Through virtue of his portions and his pills;
Who loves his kind enough to look around
For means to keep 1t up above the ground,
As better far than him who has no care
Save for himself and his llfe's lion share
You Pharmaceutical man, here insist
To hfg frNrL MI fl.Inf nIgf
Your Druggist, who with careful. cunning hand,
Has gathered samples from the fruitful land,
And through persistent searching of the ground
The panaceas for all Ills has found
Is just the very fe low, to my mind.
Who dearly loves and fully serves his kind.
To gather lucre here Is not his bent,
He lives on love and just Il small per cent.
Whoever heard vi any Irightfu bills
For mixing powder, or Tor rolling pills?
And seldom tells The world how much hes ESD 10 st.
He answers promptly to 4 midnight call
And simply lives and suf srs-that Is all.
/ hold 1t that an honest druggists life
Is one with Joy and self-apprOval rife,
Is one that elevates and purities his soul
m every bitter pill his fingers roll
That brings him comfort, peace and ease,
In every fight he has with fell disease.
Without his aid anu willing service true
What could poor, frail doctor hope To do?
Without expecting either pay or thanks,
He sends abroad his neat prescription blanks
And every time doctor comes about
His best cigars are freely handed out.
To aid physicians In their varied works.
He docs all this and never does he say
~ Aword about a cent OF pay.
eward as all can understand
Len he Is In tine better land.
as 1t plainly does appear
Apiling up their treasure here,
srmacy, beyond a doubt,
to pay their treasures out.

We him portions on a proper scale.

yes upon the pharmaceutal plan,
is the true, the great PhilanthrOpist
runs the mill and does not toll the grist.
