Letter  from  John  Uri  Lloyd.       (Am  jour.  Pharm

facturing  pharmacist,"  did  Professor  Remington  affiliate,  by  right 
of  education.  His  personal  experience  with  Dr.  Squibb,  the  con- 
nection his  preceptors,  Procter  and  Parrish,  held  with  such  as 
Tilden  and  Company,  Charles  Ellis  Sons  and  Company,  Wm.  R. 
Warner  and  Company,  Hance  Brothers  and  White,  Charles  Bullock, 
Sharpe  and  Dohme,  Frederick  Stearns,  of  Detroit,  and  others  of 
the  struggling  pioneers  of  those  days,  led  Professor  Remington  to 
a  kindly  affiliation  with  those  establishing  and  conducting  such  in- 
dustries as  these.  He  appreciated  that  they  had  become  a  part  in 
American  pharmaceutical  evolution,  and  that  in  their  activities  the 
factor  of  pharmaceutical  education  of  the  individual  should  domi- 
nate. And  hence  we  note  his  kindly  affiliation  and  helpful  services 
to  those  who  came  in  later,  principal  among  whom  may  be  men- 
tioned Parke,  Davis  &  Co.,  of  Detroit,  and  Eli  Lilly  &  Co.,  of 
Indianapolis.  Well  do  I  remember  how,  when  Mr.  Eli  Lilly, 
founder  of  the  house,  gave  a  home  banquet  on  a  special  occasion 
two  decades  or  more  ago,  Professor  Remington  made  the  journey 
from  Philadelphia  to  Indianapolis.  And  surely  Remington  would 
have  made  that  journey  if  for  no  other  reason  than  to  please  his 
pupil,  J.  K.  Lilly,  whose  pharmacy  instruction  was  taken  under 
Professor  Remington  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
Well  do  I  remember  that  happy  occasion,  which  it  was  also  my 
privilege  to  enjoy. 
As  would  be  supposed  from  the  congenial  nature  of  Professor 
Remington,  which  so  impressed  everyone  he  met,  his  family  rela- 
tionship is  most  delightful.  To  touch  this  phase  of  his  life  is  a  very 
delicate  subject,  even  in  a  letter  to  a  mutual  friend,  but  yet  I  cannot 
refrain  from  expressing  to  you  the  pleasures  that  have  come  to  me 
in  the  visits  to  and  from  Professor  Remington's  family,  and  mem- 
bers thereof.  To  enter  that  home  is  like  entering  one's  own,  be- 
cause of  the  whole-souled  hospitality  of  each  and  every  member. 
To  this  it  may  be  added  that  Professor  Remington's  love  and  affec- 
tion for  his  wife  and  children,  as  shown  to  his  personal  friends,  is 
only  paralleled  by  a  reciprocity  from  themselves.  Taken  all  in  all, 
a  very  happy  and  a  very  charming  family  is  the  Remington  famih 
I  have  in  mind. 
My  dear  Mr.  Eberle :  I  feel  that  this  letter  is  much  too  long, 
and  yet  its  space  would  be  much  too  short  were  one  to  attempt  to
