CrossInan, representing Wh1tall, Tatum
d Company OF Philadelphia, was in at
tendance al the meeting, having the fore
thought TO arrange his business so as to
meet with the association.
Dr. L. B. Hurlbut of Ogden, on behalf
OF the city and the local druggists, well
coined the visitors, prefacing his few re-
marks with the statement that he was not
much Of a speaker and had very seldom
had the pleasure of extending the hospi-
talities of the city to so distinguished a
body OF representative men. 1t was with
a great deal of pleasure, the doctor said i,
that he observed the growing change in
sentiment among the territorial pharma-
cists, and attributed that change to the
organization of the association. The
members of the profession now have very
different feelings TO those possessed by
them several years ago, and the change
did his heart good.
On behalf of the delegates from his sec
ton, Mr.. Boyden of Coalville responded
TO the welcome and thanked the Ogden
members for their hearty reception. In
his opinion the meeting was a very i'm
portant one and the work accomplished
would undoubtedly prove of great benefit
to the profession of the territory.
Mr.. Melville of Salt Lake responded, on
behalf of the delegation from the capital,
and thanked the Ogden pharmacists for
she display of what he termed their char
acseristic hospitality.
The minutes having been printed in
IL IL
pensed with and the convention proceeded
to the business before it.
Fred G. Schranlm, Thomas FL. Carr,
John Culley and G. T. Cave, of Ogden (;
B. B. Clark, of Eureka; w. s. Giesy and
J. B. Cries OF Salt Lake, were admitted
TO membership IN the association.
PRESIDENT FARLow's ADDRESS.
President Farlow then delivered the
following address:
"GENTLEnIEN:-In making my first re-
port to the members of the association
desire to express my appreciation of the
results already attained in the last year,
and to assure you all that much good can
ana will result from a combined and con-
tinued effort in the right direction.
am pleased to note, by the attendance,
that the interest in the meetings has not
abated and | trust that, no matter when
or where we meet, the spirit of progress
Will ever be present l am glad to well
come you all, and would like to impress
upon you that this body is the place
where sucn evils as you may be deemed to
suffer under can be discussed and proper
measures taken to alleviate them. / be-
lieve that since the organization of this
association a better feeling has existed
among the many engaged in the drug
business throughout the territory OF
Utah, and if this alone has resulted, then
our organization has not been in vain.
Starting as we did, 1t was not to be eX-
pected that all could at once be made per-
feet, and the object of stated and special
meetings. as | understand 1t, is to afford
the members an opportunity to bring be-
fore each other such ideas as they believe
will tend to the benefit of all. In this
connection have this suggestion to offer:
That the pharmacy law now in operation
be amended at the next session
of the legislature so that the MEM
bers Of the examining board may
be appointed or elected by this associa-
ton. instead of appointed by the governor
as at present. There are many reasons
why the change should be made. The
examination and regulations OF the
Pharmacists OF Utah, should be under the
control of the druggists OF the territory.
Ii the Examining board be elected or APP
pointed by this association, many evils
That now exist can and will be abolished.
There can be no reasonable excuse given
by our lawmakers why such an amend
ment should not be made, as it would be
TO the interest cf both the druggists and
the public. This association should be
allowed to say from what states and terri
tories diplomas or certificates should be
accepted. There may be other needed
amendments suggested by the members,
and suggest that the whole act be gone
over carefully and studiously, that every
member will speak freely and fully upon
this subject, SO that if steps be taken to
revise or amend the pharmacy act the
persons delegated TO do 1t viii
know the desires and wishes of
the association thoroughly. This
] consider a question OF vital import
ance to our organization. / also suggest
that section 3, article 3 of our constitu-
ton be amended so as to allow pharma-
cists, chemists and wholesale druggists,
who are residents of the territory to be-
come active members. This is the proper
rIace where all such matters should be
freely ventilated.
Speaking of the Utah druggists sug-
gests the fact that a young man of Utah
has recently passed through the Philadel-
phia college of pharmacy with the high
est honors. 1t is pleasant also that / call
the attention of the association to the fact
that many pharmacists who served their
apprenticeship ID Utah have graduated
from eastern colleges with high honors,
such as do great credit to all OF them.
Further, there are now in the schools of
the east several of our young men, Of
whom come only the most gratifying re-
ports. This JIG very gratifying to me as it
must be to all of you, as it proves that
our standard here is as high as that of any
state in the union.

fion meets in Chicago on the 18th of Au-
