EDWARD  ROBINSON  SQUIBB. 
Dr.  Edward  Robinson  Squibb  died  at  his  home  in  Brooklyn,  on 
the  evening  of  October  25,  1900,  after  a  short  illness  caused  by  the 
rupture  of  a  bloodvessel  of  the  heart.  The  unstable  condition  of 
Dr.  Squibb's  health  and  his  steadily  failing  strength  for  some  time 
doubtless  prepared  many  for  the  news  of  his  death.    Dr.  Squibb 
9% 
led  a  strenuous  life,  characterized  by  the  real  manly  instincts, 
honor  and  courage,  and  at  the  age  of  81  he  was  the  worn-out 
veteran.  During  nearly  fifty  years  he,  with  a  few  others,  some  of 
whom  are  still  living,  has  been  making  the  history  of  American 
Pharmacy,  and  for  nearly  forty  years  he  has  been  actively  associated 
in  Pharmacopoeial  work. 
E.  R.  Squibb  was  born  on  July  4,  1 819,  in  Wilmington,  Del.  In 
1  We  hope  to  have  an  extended  memoir  of  Dr.  Squibb  in  a  later  issue. — Ed.
