was  equaled  only  by  his  modesty  and  sincerity.  His  greatest  work — 
one  which  will  be  cherished  as  a  part  of  the  history  of  the  American 
Medical  Association — was  his  devotion  to  the  aims  and  objects  of 
the  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  and  his  unselfish  and  inde- 
fatigable labors  in  its  behalf. 
We,  the  members  of  the  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry 
of  the  American  Medical  Association,  mourn  the  loss  of  one  of  our 
most  useful  associates,  and  one  whose  life  may  be  held  up  to  the 
younger  generation  of  pharmacists  as  an  example  of  unselfishness  and 
devotion  to  high  ideals.

Dear  Sir:  At  the  request  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  German 
Hospital,  of  Philadelphia,  I  am  enclosing  a  copy  of  the  Resolutions 
on  the  death  of  Martin  I.  Wilbert,  adopted  by  them  at  their  meeting, 
December  26th,  1916. 
Very  truly  yours, 
Henry  F.  Page, 
Medical  Superintendent. 
Martin  Inventius  Wilbert. 
Whereas,  The  board  of  trustees  of  the  German  Hospital  have 
learned  with  profound  sorrow  of  the  death  of  Dr.  Martin  I.  Wilbert, 
which  occurred  on  November  25,  1916,  at  this  Hospital. 
Whereas,  The  late  Dr.  Wilbert  occupied  the  position  of  apothe- 
cary in  this  Institution  from  1891  until  1908,  and  director  of  the 
x-ray  and  photographic  department  from  1899  to  1908,  leaving  his 
labors  with  us  after  eighteen  years  of  splendid  service  to  accept  a 
position  of  wider  scope  in  the  Federal  Service  at  Washington ;  estab- 
lishing by  his  signal  ability  and  indefatigible  perseverance  a  unique 
and  enviable  reputation  in  the  world  of  medicine  and  pharmacy. 
Resolved,  That  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  German  Hospital 
deplore  his  early  death  at  the  age  of  fifty-one,  while  still  in  the 
prime  of  his  life  and  activities. 
Resolved,  That  the  board  of  trustees  tender  to  the  family  of 
our  deceased  friend  their  heartfelt  sympathy  in  the  loss  which  they 
have  sustained.
