of  Friends.  He  afterwards  entered  the  public  schools  of  this  city,  and  grad- 
uated from  the  High  School  in  1847.  His  knowledge  of  pharmacy  was 
acquired  in  the  store  of  his  father,  Edward  B.  Garrigues,  Tenth  and  Fair- 
mount  Avenue,  and  with  the  late  Frederick  L.  John,  on  Race  street, 
above  Third  street.  Graduating  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  in  1851  he  went  the  same  year  to  Europe.  After 
a  year  spent  at  the  University  in  Berlin,  he  entered  the  University  of 
G  ttingen  and,  after  a  course  of  two  years,  graduated  from  that  institution, 
receiving  the  degree  of  Ph.  D.  During  the  vacations  of  his  student  life 
abroad  he  made  pedestrian  trips  through  Germany  and  into  Switzerland 
and  Italy.  Botany  being  one  of  his  favorite  studies,  he  collected  during 
these  excursions  an  extensive  and  valuable  herbarium,  which  he  afterwards 
presented  to  the  University  of  Michigan. 
Returning  to  Philadelphia  in  1854,  he  engaged  with  Mr.  Magee  in  the 
manufacture  of  chemicals  for  photography;  the  firm  being  known  as 
Garrigues  &  Magee,  on  Fifth  street  above  Arch  street.  After  the  dissolution 
of  the  firm  in  1857  he  removed  to  New  York,  where  he  remained  until 
1863,  when  the  development  of  the  salt  interest  in  Michigan  led  to  his 
connection  with  that  industry  as  a  chemist.  In  1869,  he  was  appointed  State 
inspector  of  salt  in  Michigan,  and  held  that  office  until  his  declining  health 
made  it  necessary  for  him  to  withdraw  from  active  duties.  The  reports 
prepared  by  him  on  the  salt  and  lumber  interests  are  valuable  State  papers 
on  the  resources  of  Michigan. 
In  3864  he  received  a  commission  to  act  as  assistant  surgeon  to  the  29th 
Michigan  Volunteers,  and  while  the  regiment  was  encamped  in  the  State 
he  was  the  only  medical  officer  in  charge.  To  malarial  disease  contracted 
at  this  time  is  attributed  his  subsequent  declining  health. 
Dr.  Garrigues  became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation in  1855,  and  while  residing  in  Philadelphia  was  a  member  of  the 
Franklin  Institute  and  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences. 
After  removing  to  Michigan  he  took  an  active  interest  in  the  advancement 
of  Pharmacy  in  that  State,  was  at  one  time  president  of  the  Michigan  Phar- 
maceutical Association,  and  was  interested  in  the  passing  of  the  Pharmacy 
Act  of  Michigan. 
He  was  married  in  1864  to  Miss  Addele  M.  Burt,  of  Saginaw,  Michigan. 
His  widow,  a  son  and  a  daughter  survive  him. 
The  father  of  Dr.  Garrigues,  the  oldest  living  member  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy,  resides  in  this  city ;  he  is  now  in  his  93d  year.
