Recently  he  was  elected  Chairman  of  the  Sub-Committee  on 
Miscellaneous  Galenicals,  of  the  Revision  Committee. 
Since  1901  he  has  been  a  member  of  the  Council  on  Pharmacy 
and  Chemistry  of  the  American  Medical  Association ;  in  fact,  we 
understand  that  the  credit  for  the  origin  of  the  Council  was  his ; 
and  his  pharmaceutical  knowledge  has  been  of  much  service  to  that 
organization. 
He  passed  away  on  October  22,  19 10.  The  funeral  services 
were  held  at  his  late  residence,  4069  Kenmore  Avenue.  Chicago. 
Representatives  from  all  the  interests  with  which  he  was  connected 
were  present. 
The  honorary  pallbearers  were  members  of  the  Chicago  Veteran 
Druggists  Association  and  the  A.  Ph.  A. :  the  active  pallbearers  were 
Professor  Hallberg's  colleagues  of  the  Faculty  of  the  School  of 
Pharmacy  of  the  University  of  Illinois. 
The  funeral  services  were  impressive.  President  Eberle  made 
a  touching  and  eloquent  address.  The  funeral  pieces  were  beau- 
tiful and  numerous.  Interment  was  made  in  Graceland  Cemetery 
in  the  lot  where  the  remains  of  the  late  Albert  E.  Ebert  rest  (the 
lot  being  a  part  of  the  Ebert  Legacy  to  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association),  in  recognition  of  the  sendees  of  C.  S.  N. 
Hallberg  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 
In  a  letter  to  the  editor  of  this  Journal,  Prof.  W.  B.  Day,  one 
of  his  colleagues,  says : 
"  Professor  Hallberg  was  a  man  of  marked  personality  and 
unusual  ability.  He  was  thoroughly  courageous  and  at  all  times 
ready  to  give  battle  for  his  convictions.  His  honesty  was  never 
questioned,  and  although  his  friends  were  sometimes  hurt  by  his 
intense  aggressiveness  which  occasionally  bordered  on  harshness, 
yet  almost  invariably  those  who  had  become  estranged  from  him 
were  won  back  by  the  frankness,  ability,  and  evident  honesty  of 
the  man. 
"  He  possessed  a  wonderful  memory,  and  kept  well  informed 
upon  all  subjects  relating  to  pharmacy.  In  fact,  he  was  a  veritable 
mine  of  information  on  pharmaceutical  topics,  and  was  constantly 
drawn  upon  by  his  friends  for  help  in  this  respect. 
"  Friends  and  former  students  of  his  frequently  sent  him  diffi- 
cult prescriptions  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States,  and  often  these 
were  written  in  some  foreign  language.  Only  recently  a  Nebraska 
pharmacist  sent  him  a  prescription  which  had  been  filled  originally
