THE AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. 
We regret to record the death of Mr. Daniel Butter Long, who was a very 
old and respected colonist, having arrived in Port Phillip in 1840. For many years 
he was engaged in the business of a pharmaceutical chemist, from which he retired 
in 1880. Like his friend, Mr. G. Lewis, he took considerable interest in muni- 
cipal matters, and was the first Mayor of Prahran, and laid the foundation stone 
of the present Town Hall during his term of office. Mr. Long, at the time of his 
death, had attained his eighty- third year, and leaves a numerous family of sons 
and daughters. 
It is with great regret that we have to announce the death of the late Mr. 
George Lewis, J.P., whose name was well known to Australasian pharmacists 
as having been associated with every movement of pharmaceutical progress in 
this colony. Mr. Lewis was born in London on 2nd July, 1817, and was the 
eldest son of the Bev. Thomas Lewis, Independent minister of the parish of 
Pembridge, county of Hereford. He was apprenticed to Mr. Thomas Taylor, 
chemist, of Kington, Hereford, at the age of 15, for the term of five years. 
He was also for some time in the well-known house of Allan and Hanbury, in 
London ; received his diploma from the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain 
in 1843, in which year he opened business for himself in Leicester-square. 
There he did not remain long, but purchased a business at Harrow, where he 
soon became one of the prominent men. Early in 1849 he left England for 
Australia at the urgent request of his brother-in-law, Mr. Fred. Cooper, for 
many years one of our leading chemists in Melbourne, and soon after his arrival 
he purchased the business of the late Dr. Wilmot, on the same place as the 
business now stands. The present shop was built by the late Mr. Lewis, who 
was connected with the same business until the time of his death. For a time 
Mr. Bowen was a partner with him. Mr. Lewis was the first Mayor of Kew, 
and upon his leaving that place in 1863, was presented with an illuminated 
address which was always greatly prized by him. Later on, in 1872, he was elected 
Mayor of Prahran, and for several years prior to his death held the position, 
with Dr. Fetherston, of licensing magistrate for that district. He was appointed a 
J .P. in March, 1874. His connection with the Pharmaceutical Society of Australasia 
has been of very long standing, dating from its foundation, and he was hon. 
treasurer of the society for over 20 years. In 1876 he was nominated by the 
Government as a member of the first Pharmacy Board of Victoria, and was 
at the first meeting of the Board elected treasurer, and held this position until 
he resigned in November, 1884. Mr. Lewis was very highly esteemed by all 
sections of the community, and his death will be regretted by a very large 
circle of friends. He leaves three sons, by whom, we understand, the business 
will be continued. 
The death of Mr. Wm. Carruthers, of Flemington-road, Hotham, is announced. 
We have received from Mr. C. A. Atkin, of Errol-street, Hotham, a sample 
of his quinine wine, and are glad to add our testimony in favour of this 
elegant and excellent preparation. The British and Colonial Druggist , in its 
report of the exhibits at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, says : — “ The chief 
thing shown in this case is some of that world-renowned domestic tonic, quinine 
wine. Bright, and of good flavour, it may be stated, upon the dictum of an 
excellent authority, that the wine will compare very favourably with some of
