Excerpt from Transactions of the Minnesota State Medical Society, 1886 The Society then listened to the annual address by the President, the First vice-president taking the chair. Dr. Leasure moved the thanks of the Society, and that a committee of five be appointed by the chair to report on the suggestions embodied in the address. Carried. Dr. Kimball appointed the committee as follows: Drs. Leasure, Dunsmoor, Dunn, Laton, andp. E. Jones. Dr. Start, of the State Pharmaceutical Association, being introduced to the Society by Dr. Dunsmoor, pre sented resolutions condemning the mixture of drugs, not making chemical compounds, by manufacturing pharma cists. It was argued that this custom was of great dis advantage to the druggist, who was obliged to keep in stock an enormous number of preparations, and to the physician, who is made uncertain in regard to the quality and quantity of the drugs prescribed. It rests with the latter to stop the practice by ceasing to prescribe proprie tary medicines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
