J. NIVEN HEGEMAN DEAD. 



Johnson Niven Hegeman, Secretary of 

 the New York College of Pharmacy, 

 died at his country seat at Irvington, N. 

 Y., on November 12th of apoplexy. On 

 the Thursday previous he had been to 

 business as usual, and was returning 

 home on the train when he was seized 

 with the attack, from which he never 

 rallied, notwithstanding the efforts of his 

 physicians, Drs. J. P. Munn and Coutant. 

 Mr. Hegeman was 56 years old and was 

 a descendent of one of New York's oldest 

 families, his ancestors on his father's 

 side being among the original Dutch 

 settlers of New Amsterdam, while on his 

 mother's side he was a great grandson 

 of Col. Niven of revolutionary fame. 

 Through the marriage of his youngest 

 sister he became a brother-in law of Mr. 

 Chauncey Depew. After the completion 

 of his education at the Charlier Institute 

 in this city he began his business career 

 with his father, William Hegeman, who 

 at one time controlled as many as six 

 stores in this city and was known 

 throughout the country for the reputa- 

 tion of his original preparations, particu- 

 larly Hegeman's Camphor Ice. After 

 the death of his father, the firm became 

 J. N. Hegeman & Co. with Mr. Hege- 

 man as senior partner, the other mem- 

 bers subsequently being John W. Ferrier 

 ('76) and J, Boyd Henny. Mr. Hege- 

 man always took an active interest in 

 pharmaceutical affairs both from a pro- 

 fessional and commercial standpoint. 

 His stores at Broadway and 9th, Broad- 

 way and 30th sts., 450 Third ave. and 

 Fifth ave. and 59th st. being rendezvous 

 of the city's leading physicians. 



He continuously served the New York 

 College of Pharmacy as secretary for ten 

 years and as a trustee had been an in- 

 valuable aid to this institution. In his 



death the students lost a staunch friend, 

 for it had always been his custom to have 

 postions reserved for them in his stores, 

 and such men as Ferrier, '74, Buck, '91, 

 Ferris, Doak and Borggreve, '92, Taylor 

 and Baldman, '93, Auerbach, Clark and 

 Kirk, '94, and L,avalye, '9.5, owe much 

 of their success to his generosity. 



A wife, two daughters and a son sur- 

 vive him. His funeral, which took place 

 at Christ's Church, this city, was largely 

 attended by relatives and friends, the in- 

 terment being in the Trinity Cemetery. 



A NEW JOURNAL OF HYGIENE AND 

 MEDICINE. 



Pediatrics is the title of a new medical jour- 

 nal devoted to the diseases of children, publish- 

 ed semi-monthly by the Van Publishing Co., 

 New York, and John Bale & Sons, London. The 

 owner is Dillon Brown, the well known spe- 

 cialist in children's diseases, and the editor Geo. 

 A. Carpenter, who occupies a similar position 

 among the British lights. The corps of asso- 

 ciate editors is extensive, as follows : Medicine, 

 A. Jacobi, of New York and F. Forchheimer, 

 of Cincinnati ; Surgery, H. R. Wharton, of 

 Philadelphia, and S. F. Eve, of London ; Or- 

 thopedics, H. L. Taylor, of New York, and F. 

 R. Fisher, of London ; Gastroenteric Diseases, 

 M. Manges, of New York, and J. Boos, of Ber- 

 lin ; Therapeutics, D. Williams, of London ; 

 Materia Medica, H. H. Rusby, of New York ; 

 Teratology, E. H. Grandin, of New York ; La- 

 ryngology, W, C. Glasgow, of St. Louis, and M. 

 Howell, of London ; Dermatology, J. W. Hyde, 

 of Chicago, and L. Phillips, of Birmingham ; 

 Ophthalmology, M. Standish of Boston, and W. 

 A. Brailey, of London; Neurology, J. Collins, 

 of New York, and W R. Gowers, of London. 

 The first number, dated January 1, 1896, of 48 

 pages, is at hand and contains a "Review of In- 

 fant Feeding," by Dr. Jacobi; "A Cretin" 

 (illustrated), by Drs. Frintinght and Brown ; 

 '■ Enteroc>stitis in a Congenital Sub 

 gluteal Hernia " (illustrated ), by Dr. 

 Lileuthal, "The Japanese Ice-berg," by Dr. 

 Phelps, "Fibroid Phthisis," by Dr. Sutherland, 

 and a large number of notes, items, reviews, 

 reports and abstracts. The latter indicate, as 

 one should expect from the make-up of the 

 editorial staff, that the Journal is to be wide 

 awake in following up all innovations in medi- 

 coments and in treatment. The steadily grow- 

 ing intimacy between medicine and pharmacy 

 no longer permits that any representative mem- 

 ber of either may ignore the literature of the 

 other and "Pediatrics" will doubtless find its 

 way into the files of many pharmacists. The 

 subscription price is two dollars, or eight shil- 

 lings a year.
