OBITUARY. 
William  Freeman  Daniell,  M.  D.,  F.  L.  S.,  died  at  Southampton, 
(England,)  on  the  26th  of  June,  after  a  long  and  painful  illness.  We 
learn  from  the  Pharmaceutical  Journal  that  Dr.  Daniell  was  born  at  Liv- 
erpool, in  the  year  1818 ;  hence  his  age  was  47  years.  He  became  a 
member  of  the  College  of  Surgeons  in  1841,  and  soon  afterwards  entered 
the  medical  department  of  the  British  army,  serving  the  whole  of  his 
Assistant-Surgeonship  on  the  pestilential  coast  of  Western  Africa.  It  was 
during  this  period  that  he  made  the  numerous  observations  which  have 
appeared  from  time  to  time  in  that  Journal  under  his  signature.  In  1853 
he  became  a  Staff  Surgeon,  and  was  elected  an  honorary  member  of  the 
Pharmaceutical  Society.  He  afterwards  served  in  the  West  Indies  and  in 
China.  His  health  became  very  much  impaired  by  residence  in  Jamaica, 
causing  his  return  to  England  to  die.  He  was  buried  at  Kensal  Green,  on 
July  3,  1865.  Of  the  numerous  papers  of  Dr.  Daniell  printed  in  the  Phar- 
maceutical Journal  a  number  are  scattered  through  this  Journal ;  and  he 
should  be  held  in  remembrance  as  a  most  useful  observer  in  matters  per- 
taining to  pharmacology  and  botany, — a  worthy  example  to  our  own  naval 
surgeons,  who  often  have  rare  opportunities  to  extend  our  knowledge  of 
the  sources  of  drugs,  did  they  interest  themselves  in  the  subject. 
M.  Guilliermond,  Sr.,  of  Lyons,  one  of  the  oldest  of  the  French  phar- 
maceutists, died  in  his  laboratory  at  the  advanced  age  of  90  years,  having 
been  born  in  December,  1776,  at  Pont-Saint-Esprit.  He  was  in  a  mili- 
tary hospital  in  1793,  and  in  1800  opened  a  store  in  Lyons,  which  he 
occupied  for  sixty  years.  During  this  long  career  M.  Guilliermond  con- 
tributed numerous  papers  to  the  Journal  de  Pharmacie,  the  most  important 
of  which  refer  to  Peruvian  Bark,  Opium,  and  their  alkaloids,  and  the  pro- 
cess of  displacement.  He  was  a  correspondent  of  the  Society  of  Pharmacie 
at  Paris,  and  the  President  of  the  Society  at  Lyons. 
Pyrame-Louis  Morin,  Pharmacien  Chemist,  died  at  Geneva,  December  1, 
1864,  aged  50  years.  His  immediate  ancestors  for  two  generations  were  men 
of  science,  and  his  own  education  as  a  chemist  under  Lowig,  of  Zurich,  and 
Mitscherlich,  of  Berlin,  followed  by  his  practical  studies  under  Soubeiran, 
at  the  Paris  Central  Pharmacy  of  the  Hospitals,  rendered  him  one  of  the 
ablest  members  of  our  profession  in  Geneva.
