Bridgeport, June 13.--The twenty-third
annual meeting of the Connecticut Phar-
maceutical association was held in this
city to-day, about forty members of the

meeting was called to order in the At
lantic hotel this morning by President
John w. Lowe Of New Haven, who read
his address, an able and interesting
paper dealing exclusively with the at
fairs of the association and making
many valuable recommendations. He
called attention to the rapid growth of
membership recommending a change in
the method of selection of the members
Of the state pharmacy commission, and
dealing with the violations by druggists
of the pharmacy act and the liquor
laws. He also presented a report Of the

ing the hearty cooperation of the Con-
necticut body. His address was well re-
ceived and heartily applauded.

Mr. Williams of Thomaston read a
paper upon Pharmacy and Queries"
which embodied many features Of in
terest and was we'll received. Captain
John X. Williams of Hartford, chairman
of the legislative committee made the
report for that body, giving an interest
ing detail of the work performed before
the present general assembly, and speak
ing generally upon the violation of the
liquor laws by druggists, and also tell
ing of the laws in other states applying
to the sale of liquor by druggists. He
said the reason why druggists in this |
state apparently sold more liquor than
those of other states was that outside of
Connecticut the people had other ways |
of procuring liquor for medicine, while |
here the druggists sold it for that pur-
pose to many who would procure it in no |
other way
At the conclusion of Mr.. Williams |
paper, a recess was taken till 2:30 for |
