Col. Louis B. Wade of " knock-out drop" fame, who is Frasers' genial northwestern 

 representative, was in the City lately, making calls wherever he could locate a class-

Ex-Pres. Ehrgott has acquired an interest in the Hunt Pharmacy on Fifth Ave.,

'95 Notes. 



The N. Y. C. Diploma in Central America. 



The graduates of the class of '95, College of Pharmacy of the City of New York, 

 will be glad to learn that their former classmate, Fermin Ferrer, formerly of Plain- 

 field, N. J., and now of Managua, Nicaragua, is prospering in his new home. 



In a recent communication to the Editor of the American Druggist he says: 



"To show you that the New York College of Pharmacy is famed in Central America, 

 as well as in New York, I enclose a copy of the official newspaper issued by the Gov- 

 ernment of Nicarauga, in which you will note that I was admitted a member of the 

 local faculty of pharmacy on the sole presentation of my diploma." 



The notice in the Diario Official of Managua, Nicarauga, reads: 



" Visto el diploma de Fermaceutico extendido a favor de don Fermin Ferrer, por 

 los Directores del Colegio de Farmacia de la cuidad de Nueva York, el dia 9 de Mayo 

 de i895,.constando la autenticidad de dicho documento y la identidad de la persona, 

 el Presidente del Estado, en uso de las facultades que la ley le confiere, acuerda: dar 

 el pase de ley al expresado titulo y que se tenga al Senor Ferrer por incorporado a la 

 Facultad de Farmacia del pais. 



"Comuniquese— Managua, 3 de Junio de 1898— Zelya — El Ministro de Instruccion

Translated the above reads:

 as of the identity of the person named, the President of the State, making use of the

 effective, and that Mr. Ferrer be incorporated in the Faculty of Pharmacy of the 

 country.

George E. Manville, the "fatty acid radical," has been with the Maltine Manufac- 

 turing Company for some time. George, when last heard from, was studying a huge 

 dictionary, preparing himself for the trade in Boston town. Smile George just to 

 show them how you have changed since you left us. 



Two '95 men have started out for themselves. John B. Foster and John H. Parker 

 are the men. I have heard from both of them and they say that business is good and 

 extend an invitation to all '95 friends to drop in to see them if in Newark. 



I won't say anything about them, but Diirr is still on earth. Every month we see 

 a notice of this same nature in some of the columns. It is stale boys but I can't help 

 mentioning it in this case. They are poorly groomed Diirr, so get a rip-saw and let 

 it rip.
