COLOR IN WOODS. 



The wood of the ehn, Ijirch and oak 

 grown in certain parts of France, espe- 

 cially in Normandie, is often found to 

 be green in color. This color change is 

 produced by action of certain fungus 

 growths which inhabit these trees, the 

 chief of these being the Helotium aerug- 

 inascens. The color is not caused by a 

 diseased condition of the wood, and is 

 found only in trees of certain ages. 

 These woods are hard and very durable 

 and take on a smooth polish, showing the 

 grain in a bright green unchangeable 

 color, and are much sought for, as they 

 are used in the manufacture of certain 

 articles of furniture.

PERSONAL NOTES. 



Wm. A. Sailer, General IManager of 

 Sharp and Dohme was a recent visitor 

 at Indianapolis, where he attended the 

 N. W. D. A. Convention. 



Julius Foerster, who sailed for Europe 

 on July 2nd on Steamship Barbarossa, 

 which was chartered by The German 

 Apothecary Society of Xew York, has 

 just recently returned to the United 

 .States from the war zone. 



Mr. Foerster, who enjoys the distinc- 

 tion of being Sharp and Dohme's Gen- 

 eral Representative, or District Manager 

 for all of New England, was perhaps 

 the last member of the large party of 

 Pharmacists to return to this Country. 

 He states he could have returned several 

 weeks earlier, but stayed with the view 

 of getting a glimpse of actual warfare. 



Mr. l^'oerster is in possession of much 

 first hand and interesting information 

 concerning the great European conflict.
