year  of  his  age. 
Mr.  Dietrich,  who  was  probably  the  pioneer  manufacturer  of 
pharmaceutical  galenicals  in  Germany,  succeeded  in  developing  a 
business  and  establishing  a  reputation  extending  far  beyond  the 
borders  of  his  native  country. 
The  annual  reports  of  the  scientific  work  done  in  connection  with 
his  manufacturing  establishment,  embodied  in  the  well-known 
"  Helfenberger  Annalen,"  are  generally  recognized  as  having  scien- 
tific merit,  and  have  been  liberally  quoted  from  by  the  pharmaceu- 
tical journals  of  all  countries.  M.  I.  W.
