The  hopelessness  of  recounting  in  a  single  article  a  tithe  of  his 
services  to  pharmacy  must  be  apparent  to  everyone  who  has  fol- 
lowed Mr.  Carteighe's  career.  He  was  devoted  to  the  Pharmaceuti- 
cal Society;  his  life  was  given  unstintingly  to  its  services.  More 
especially  is  it  a  difficult  task  to  appraise  at  its  true  value  the  charac- 
ter of  one  with  whom  it  has  been  a  privilege  to  labor.  Perhaps  the 
true  keynote  was  struck  in  a  character  sketch  of  Mr.  Carteighe  by 
"  An  Old  Admirer  "  which  appeared  in  The  Pharmaceutical  Journal 
some  five  years  ago.  The  writer  said :  "  Mr.  Carteighe  will  be 
known  in  history  not  so  much  for  what  he  accomplished  as  for  what 
he  made  possible  of  accomplishment.  He  had  that  attribute  of  the 
great  man  of  which  Landor  speaks — the  intellect  which  puts  in 
motion  the  intellects  of  others.  He  was  no  rash  innovator  in  poli- 
tics, for  he  agreed  that  experimentalists,  though  perhaps  the  best 
philosophers,  are  always  the  worst  politicians.  With  Diogenes  in 
the  '  Imaginary  Conversations,'  he  inclined  rather  to  teach  chemists 
their  duties,  so  they  might  know  their  interests.  Opportunist  to 
the  finger-tips,  he  never  took  a  mean  advantage  of  the  weakness  of 
an  opponent;  vigorous  to  the  verge  of  brutality,  his  tenderness  to 
the  sick  or  necessitous  is  unbounded;  Homeric  in  his  mirth,  no 
nature  ever  responded  more  sympathetically  to  the  grief  of  others. 
In  short,  a  Man,  with  a  rare  combination  of  manly  attributes  and  the 
concomitant  faults  common  to  erring  mortals."  We  take  leave  of 
him  with  feelings  of  intense  sadness  and  a  sense  of  our  irreparable 
loss.  Much  was  expected  of  him ;  he  was  endowed  with  great 
physical  and  mental  gifts,  and  out  of  his  store  he  gave  his  very 
best  to  pharmacy. — Pharm.  Jour.,  June  4,  1910,  pp.  699-702.
