itself  to  the  suddenly  changed  conditions,  and  the  ultimate  solu- 
tion of  the  problems  that  are  now  presented  will  be  eagerly  awaited 
by  all.  The  influence  that  the  changed  conditions  will  have  on 
American  Pharmacy  should  be  a  beneficial  one,  as  the  present 
scarcity  of  articles  that  could  be  made  will  no  doubt  stimulate  the 
growth  of  chemical  industries  in  this  country. 
Considerable  concern  has  been  expressed  as  to  the  whereabouts 
of  the  German-American  apothecaries  and  their  friends  who  in 
their  trip  through  Europe  reached  Bremen  on  July  13.  They  were 
the  guests  of  the  Berlin  apothecaries  on  July  15,  16  and  17.  (Apoth- 
Ztg.j  1914,  vol.  29,  pp.  644-645,  657-658.)  An  elaborate  program 
had  been  prepared  for  their  entertainment,  one  day  being  spent  at 
the  pharmaceutical  institute  of  the  University  of  Berlin  at  Dahlen. 
The  apothecaries  of  Vienna,  Munich,  and  several  of  the  other  large 
cities  in  Germany,  Austria,  Switzerland,  and  France  had  also  pre- 
pared elaborate  programs  for  entertaining  the  American  pharmacists, 
but  their  itinerary  has  no  doubt  been  interrupted  by  the  general 
disturbance  on  the  continent. 
Friederich  Mohr. — On  June  21,  1914,  there  was  unveiled  in  the 
city  of  Coblentz,  Germany,  a  monument  to  one  of  the  pioneers  in 
pharmacy,  Friederich  Mohr,  who  despite  the  fact  that  he  was  the 
author  of  probably  the  original  text-book  on  the  practice  of  pharmacy 
is  perhaps  more  widely  known  for  his  connection  with  the  develop- 
ment of  analytical  chemistry  than  with  that  of  galenical  pharmacy. 
Pharmacists  of  an  older  generation  will  remember  the  book  "  Prac- 
tical Pharmacy  "  by  Mohr  and  Redwood,  an  American  edition  of 
which,  edited  by  Wm.  Procter,  Jr.,  was  in  its  day  generally  referred 
to  as  Mohr,  Redwood  and  Procter's  pharmacy.  Friederich  Mohr 
was  born  in  the  city  of  Coblentz  in  1806,  was  a  student  at  Bonn, 
Berlin,  and  Heidelberg,  a  voluminous  writer,  and  is  frequently  re- 
ferred to  as  the  classic  writer  of  pharmacy.  His  text-book  of 
pharmaceutical  technic  was  first  published  in  1847,  ms  text-book  on 
titration  methods  in  1855,  and  a  commentary  on  the  first  edition  of 
the  German  Pharmacopoeia  in  1874.  Most  of  his  life  was  spent  in 
the  pharmacy  left  him  by  his  father  and  it  was  not  until  he  reached 
his  sixtieth  year  that  he  was  called  as  a  professor  to  Bonn,  where 
he  died  in  1879. — Apoth.-Ztg.,  1914,  vol.  29,  pp.  547-550. 
Before  this  copy  of  the  Journal  reaches  its  readers  the  meetings 
of  the  National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  and  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  will  have  become  history.   From  present
