^ifiSTxISl™"}  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  603 
study  and  development  of  the  science  of  chemistry  and  pharmacy  in  our  country 
has  been  removed,  whose  character  was  unalloyed  with  blemish,  whose  fame  as  a 
man  of  strictest  integrity  and  honorable  purpose,  whether  received  from  a  commer- 
cial or  social  standpoint,  has  spread  far  and  wide,  whose  kindness  of  heart  knew  no 
bounds  so  long  as  he  was  cognizant  of  its  demand,  and  whose  every  act  was. 
prompted  by  a  conscientious  duty,  we  feel  that  in  his  death  we  are  bereft  of  his  use- 
ful influence  and  much-valued  encouragement  in  all  that  appertains  to  the  highest 
interests  of  our  Association.  Therefore 
Resolved,  That  this  Association  has  an  unfeigned,  though  a  melancholy,  satisfac- 
tion in  testifying  its  mark  of  appreciation  of  his  service  as  a  sincere  humanitarian,  a 
friend  of  education  and  an  unexceptional  example  for  us  all — a  shining  mark  among 
the  illustrious  and  useful  men  of  this  age,  whose  exemplary  life  is  worthy  of  highest 
admiration,  and  in  whose  footsteps  we  may  with  safety  be  emulated  to  follow. 
Resolved,  That,  as  an  association  representing  large  commercial  enterprises  and 
interests,  we  find  embodied  in  the  life  of  the  deceased  those  elements  of  virtue  and 
purity  of  character  to  which  we  are  proud  to  point  as  typical  of  all  that  constitutes, 
the  highest  order  of  business  integrity. 
Resolved,  That  the  sympathy  of  this  Association  is  mingled  with  that  of  the 
numerous  beneficiaries  of  the  deceased,  and  by  this  tribute  is  hereby  tendered  to  the 
surviving  afflicted  family  and  firm  of  which  he  was  a  much-revered  member,  trusting 
that  the  affliction  thus  visited  upon  them  will  be  followed  by  the  comfort  that  a 
recollection  of  a  life  so  usefully  spent  is  more  honorable  and  enduring  than  any 
other  monument  or  tribute  that  can  possibly  be  raised  to  his  memory. 
Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  this  memorial  expression  be  forwarded  to  the  family  and 
firm  of  the  depaited. 
The  following  resolution  was  offered  by  Mr.  Saunders  and  passed  : 
Resolved,  That  the  heroism  of  our  fellow-pharmacists  in  the  plague-stricken  dis- 
tricts in  the  valley  of  the  Mississippi,  who  have  nobly  stood  at  their  posts  in  the 
hour  of  danger,  is  worthy  of  commendation,  and  this  Association  desires  to  place  on 
record  at  this  time  its  admiration  of  their  noble  doings  in  thus  aiding  suffering 
humanity  at  the  risk  of  their  own  lives.

mens of  saffron  adulterated  with  a  white  powder  (gypsum  ?),  and  saffron  cultivated
