The business session this morning
was made up Of miscellaneous reports
and an excellent address by DR.. Chase
of the State University OF Iowa. DR..
Chase spoke on the subject Of the use
and properties of drugs, and demon
strated the physiological assay and the
chemical assay Of drugs. He told OF
his experiments with rats, frogs, cats
and chickens, and referred to the
wonderful success he has had in ascer-
tanning the strength and usefulness OF
certain liquids.
The speaker also took occasion to
discourage the practice of pharmacists
to prescribe, stating that he fastened
the day when physicians would cease
to dispense and druggists likewise
quit prescribing. He urged the associa-
ton to send a delegation to the next
meeting of the Iowa Medical society
and promised that the doctors of Iowa
would meet the pharmacists half way
in the united effort to do their mite
towards the preservation Of mankind.
A rising vote of thanks was extend
ed DR.. Clark.
