2. Resolved, That hereafter all provings by a single prover, presented through the Section in Materia Medica, Pharmacy and Provings, be referred back to the section, to be retained by it until a sufficient number of provings are obtained to warrant the section in collating the same and presenting them to the Institute for publication; and such collation and presentation shall be a part of the duty of that section.-Adopted June 9, 1874.

4. Resolved, That in making up the list of existing journals illustrating Homœopathy, by the Committee on Organization, Registration, and Statistics, and the Committee on Medical Literature, all such shall be embraced as avow the principle of similars as the dominating principle for the selection of drugs in the cure of the sick, and which also support the organizations of Homœopathy as a distinctive body in the medical profession; that no journal thus listed shall be stricken off without formal notice through the General Secretary to the Institute of the reason for any proposed omission from the list, and then not without due notice and opportunity for defence on the part of the journal under consideration, final action on the case being deferred until the succeeding annual meeting.
