"His  voluminous  and  valuable  work  on  'Ternary  Alloys'  was  communi- 
cated to  the  Royal  Society  during  the  years  1889  and  1892. 
' '  During  the  last  week  or  two,  his  health  had  been  failing  through  an  attack 
of  diabetes  mellitus,  but  no  consequences  of  serious  import  were  anticipated, 
until  Monday,  July  23d.  On  Wednesday  morning  he  became  comatose,  and 
never  recovered  consciousness,  death  occurring  early  in  the  afternoon  of  that 
day." 
In  addition  to  the  above,  may  be  mentioned  the  recent  volume  of  Dr.  Wright 
on  Fats,  Oils  and  Waxes,  which  is  a  standard  authority  on  these  substances. 
He  was  elected  a  corresponding  member  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy in  March,  1893. 
Dr.  Clarence  H.  Risk,  Ph.G.,  Class  of  1876,  died  at  the  residence  of  his 
brother,  Summit,  N.  J.,  July  3,  1894,  of  heart  failure,  aged  45  years,  5  months 
and  12  days.  He  was  born  at  Lewisburg,  Pa.,  January  21,  1849.  He  received 
his  early  education  at  Muncy  and  Carlisle,  Pa.,  and  attended  a  private  school 
at  Princeton,  N.  J.,  and  from  there  he  went  to  Lafayette  College  for  two  years, 
after  which  he  learned  the  drug  business  with  Risk  and  Mason,  in  Philadelphia, 
and  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1876.  After  his 
graduation  in  pharmacy  he  attended  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  and 
graduated  as  a  physician  from  that  institution  in  1878.  After  his  graduation 
in  medicine  he  was  in  the  drug  business  at  Nineteenth  and  Berks  Streets,  and 
in  1879  removed  to  Baltimore,  Md.,  and  was  in  the  drug  business  at  Charles 
and  Reed  Streets,  where  he  continued  until  1885,  when  he  sold  out  his  business 
and  travelled  in  South  America  and  Europe,  returning  to  this  country  in  1887, 
and  entered  the  Bridgeport  Hospital  as  resident  physician  for  about  one  year. 
His  health  failing  him,  he  gave  up  practice  and  he  was  not  in  active  business  at 
the  time  of  his  decease. 
Felix  Anthony  Lyneman,  Ph.G.,  Class  of  1877,  died  suddenly  in  Denver, 
Col.,  June  19,  1894,  from  apoplexy.  He  had  been  in  his  usual  good  health, 
except  complaining  of  a  slight  headache  and  pain  in  his  left  side,  which  caused 
neither  him  nor  his  family  any  alarm.  Before  dressing  to  go  down-stairs  to  his 
breakfast,  he  entered  the  bath-room  and  was  found  shortly  afterward  by  his 
wife,  unconscious,  and  lived  only  a  few  hours  afterward.  He  was  thirty-seven 
years  of  age,  and  was  a  native  of  Richmond,  Va.,  and  was  born  of  German 
Catholic  parents.  He  learned  the  drug  business  and  graduated  from  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  in  1877.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation and  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  He  was  also  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Colorado  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  was  its  Secretary  from  its 
organization,  having  been  re-elected  twice  to  the  office.  At  the  time  of  his 
decease,  he  was  the  proprietor  of  two  pharmacies  in  Denver,  and  was  one  of  the 
most  kind-hearted  and  genial  of  men,  well  liked  by  all  who  knew  him,  as  was 
shown  by  his  fellow-druggists,  who  attended  the  funeral  in  a  body.
