prescriptions  framed  by  the  leading  authorities  in  the  profession. 
It  will  also  be  found  extremely  useful  by  dispensers,  not  only  for 
the  reasons  given  above,  but  because  it  will  enable  the  dispenser  often 
to  understand  and  interpret  the  wishes  of  the  prescriber,  and  afford 
him  a  ready  reference  to  the  recognized  formulae  used  in  the  various 
hospitals.    It  should  prove  a  valuable  counter  adjunct. 
Many  of  the  sections  are  of  more  than  ordinary  interest,  such 
as — Collunaria,  Gargarisma,  Guttae,  Injectiones,  Lotio,  Mistura, 
Nebula,  Pasta,  etc.  The  comparisons  of  peptonized  foods  and  nu- 
trient enemata  are  worthy  of  special  attention,  as  they  represent 
a  very  careful  comparison  and  elaboration  of  the  formulae  given  in 
the  various  hospitals  in  which  these  subjects  are  dealt  with.

OBITUARY. 
Michael  Carteighe.* 
It  is  with  profound  regret  that  we  have  to  record  the  death  of 
Michael  Carteighe,  which  occurred  at  an  early  hour  on  the  morning 
of  May  30,  1 9 10.  Although  those  who  knew  him  intimately  were 
not  wholly  unprepared  for  the  intelligence  which  it  is  our  painful 
duty  to  communicate,  the  news  will  come  as  a  shock  to  that  large 
circle  of  acquaintances  who  in  later  years  had  known  him  only  as  a 
member  of  the  Council  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society.  That  circle 
embraced  the  whole  of  the  pharmaceutical  body  at  home,  as  well  as 
*  Those  of  us  who  attended  the  Chicago  meeting  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  in  1893,  well  remember  the  striking  personality 
of  Michael  Carteighe,  then  president  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of 
Great  Britain  and  the  bearer  from  that  society  of  the  Hanbury  Medal  to 
Prof.  John  M.  Maisch,  to  whom  it  was  awarded  that  year.  The  accom- 
panying presentation  address  is  published  in  the  Proceedings  of  1893,  pp. 
29-31.  The  writer  also  well  recalls  the  presence  of  both  Mr.  Carteighe  and 
Mr.  Martindale  on  account  of  their  participation  in  the  discussions  of  the 
A.  Ph.  A.  and  those  of  the  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress.  Mr. 
Carteighe  was  an  honorary  member  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy, 
having  been  elected  in  1889. — Editor.
