cines is no less a part of pharmacy when
in the division of labor certain persons do
nothing else Therefore, it is feasible in
large establishments ITO organize investi-
cations for the Improvement of Inanufac-
ture and the adaptation of materials
AS the several branches of pharmacy
are the Compliments of each other in
service to the public. they are contributors
to each other in science. In the man
their interests are in common.
THE TEACHERS.
With the practitioners of pharmacy in
its several divisions of labor belong the
teachers of pharmacy and of the sciences
applied in its practice. Pharmacy has
been sometimes the parent and sometimes
the child of chemistry, of botany. OF pllar-
racnlogw The relation of the apothe-
cary's art to modern science Us not es-
tin,ated at full value. Research came OUT
of n&lar1nacy in the last century, and Will
return thereto in the next. Actual bust
ness interest never works against tine
interest of science i'm the final test With
the view of the extended range Of p1ar-
ma ceutica1 sciences, and the separate
branches of Pharmaceutical pracuce. we
should be ready to welcome the service
Of srecfalists and to provide for their
training, all in the field Of pharmacy.
While colleges and universities. in pos
session of libraries and laboratories and
museums and teaching specialists are the
natural centers of specialization and re
search, these are also highly developed in
the large business establishments,
equipped as they may eibe in the means
of investigation

necessity is the use OF library. IL is
much of the etluca uional value OF re-
,tr, oof, a 11f9Hy
fact the worker becomes an authority
upon a class of facts.
We have various organizations III
pharmacv. AS in other pursuits. II seems
for a moment that interests suffer from
an excess of organization. But one con-
sideration we can only regret. that ths
organizations of pharmacy. one ana al,
are not more widely and vigorously sup
ported Forty-eight years ago an Amerl-
can association of pharmacists had be-
come as inevitable as the rising OF the
sun Since then every decade has given
added Importance to this one general So
ciety, as a union of all specialties OF
practice and study, binding their interests
together and co-ordinating the sciences TO
the work of the day. A great opportu-
nifty lies before this body, appealing to the
professional spirit of every one who has
anything to do in pharmacy and offering
advantage in every part of the drug busi-
ness. / desire to speak for an enlarged
membership, for hearty fellowship within
the association, for zeal in the work be-
fore it. This is the one accommodation
that is made in the annual address OF
