There is room for greater advancement in this line�aud far-reaching in its ix)ssil)ilities. How much we owe to our Government in granting us protection by the passing of the Pure Food and Drug Act! The knowledge that we dispense nothing but pure drugs, examined by skilful men, protects us also from being defrauded by receiving impure, adulterated drugs. Then, too. we have the N. A. R. D., the National Association of Retail Druggists, to aid and protect us. But it is to the Pharmaceutical Association of North Carolina that we look for our future prosperity and success. Let the older men of experience, those who have labored faithfully in the uplifting of the profession, see to it that the younger men receive your hearty support and encouragement, that they may share your enthusiasm, and march forward to a greater victory, securing the best for your own interests and thus for the community at large. To those of the Medical Profession we also turn for aid in this, our advancement. To them we must look for that success which will come when physicians will no longer prescribe those Proprietary medicines, compounded by various firms under patented names, but, instead, will prescribe such as are contained in the U. S. P. preparations, selected by men of greatest skill. Then will it no longer be necessary to overstock our drug stores with a vast amount of preparations, which could easily be compounded by the druggist himself, he. thereby, realizing the direct profit. Are we to be responsible for the incompatibilities found by the use of such preparations? And should we remain in ignorance of their various ingredients? Does the physician have more confidence in the salesman than In the druggist? If not. why cannot arguments in favor of the U. S. P. preparations be as convincing to the physician as the argiiment of the representative of these Proprietary firms? For the past years, pharmacy has been a clean, profitable business carried on for humane purposes, and for the general good. Shall it remain so? The answer rests with us. One of the greatest questions of the present day Is. "Shall we sink to the level of the saloon koeper?" Shall we nilow so great an evil to creep In and rob ua of our standard of honor, purity and usefulness without raising a general cry of alarm, ere It Is too late? Is It advancement, when those to whom we have looked for our success and patronage, can no longer feel secure In our Integrity, knowing full well the taint upon us as dniggists: for the honest must share the reproach of the guilty?
