74  Letter  from  John  Uri  Lloyd.       {AFeJuarn  P?a™ 
Close  together  have  we  been  since  that  date,  each  serving  in 
the  field  of  pharmaceutical  opportunity,  these  fields  often  seemingly 
separated,  and  yet  united  as  a  whole.  In  my  praise  of  Remington, 
I  voice  what  seems  sure  to  me  to  be  the  sentiment  of  thousands  of 
pharmacists  who,  in  separated  sections  of  the  country,  have  been  in 
close  touch  with  this  leader  of  us  all,  Professor  Joseph  P.  Reming- 
ton, in  Philadelphia. 
My  dear  Mr.  Eberle:  May  I  not,  in  the  frankest  way  possible, 
express  to  you  these  thoughts,  and  may  I  not  accept  that  in  express- 
ing them,  as  a  lingering  member  of  the  associates  of  Professor 
Remington  who  have  passed  away,  as  well  as  thousands  of  pharma- 
cists in  America  who  may  not  feel  at  liberty,  as  do  I,  to  take  that 
privilege,  that  I  may  add  to  the  foregoing  even  yet  a  further  word? 
Among  the  past  close  friends  of  Professor  Remington,  none  of 
whom  are  now  with  us,  I  recall  Professor  Saunders,  of  Canada,  a 
bosom  friend  of  Remington;  they  attended  the  National  meetings 
and  roomed  together.  Together  they  visited  England,  ovations 
marking  their  course  in  that  country.  So  very  close  were  they  that 
the  terms  Joseph  and  William  only  were  used  in  conversation. 
That  very  talented  man,  Professor  John  M.  Maisch,  a  teacher-com- 
panion of  Remington,  attended  always  in  Remington's  company 
the  meetings  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association ;  together 
they  came,  never  a  word  of  discord  between  them ;  companions  were 
they,  until  came  the  announcement  at  our  Chicago  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association  meeting  (1893)  that  Professor  Maisch  had 
passed  away.  Dr.  Charles  Rice,  that  remarkable  man  whose  biog- 
raphy has  never  yet  been  written,  and  in  my  opinion  never  can  be, 
was  to  Professor  Remington,  as  to  all  others,  an  inspiration.  Of 
Edw.  Parrish,  to  whom  Remington  was  an  assistant,  Professor  Rem- 
ington always  thought  and  spoke  with  the  utmost  veneration,  which 
was  also  true  of  Professor  Wm.  Procter,  Jr.  And  be  it  said  that 
the  wealth  of  pharmaceutical  opportunity  that  came  to  Professor 
Remington  from  these  teachers  and  companions  was  distributed 
by  him  to  the  world-at-large.  To  thus  name  all  the  companions  of 
the  olden  time,  made  by  Professor  Remington,  would  be  to  mention 
every  teacher  who  had  accomplished  or  contributed  to  the  cause 
during  the  period  of  Remington's  early  activity. 
But  not  alone  with  such  as  these  did  Prof.  Remington  fraternize. 
Not  a  student,  within  forty  years,  has  been  graduated  from  the
