The  sixth  edition  of  this  standard  treatise  on  pharmacy  appeared 
only  a  few  months  before  the  death  of  its  famous  author  and  it 
stands  as  one  of  the  crowning  achievements  of  that  remarkable 
life.  Urged  several  years  ago  to  relinquish  some  of  his  many  activi- 
ties, he  yet  felt  that  duty  required  him  to  maintain  a  guiding  hand 
until  the  new  editions  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia,  "  Prac- 
tice of  Pharmacy,"  and  the  Dispensatory  were  completed — but  then 
the  strong  will  collapsed  and  in  a  few  months  the  pharmaceutical 
world  mourned  the  death  of  this  great  leader. 
However,  with  Professor  Remington's  foresight  and  attention 
to  details,  he  had  anticipated  the  inevitable  and  long  planned  his  suc- 
cession in  the  work  which  was  his  chief  delight,  his  text  book  on 
pharmacy.  This  was  foreseen  by  many,  since  for  years  he  has  been 
training  and  coaching  his  assistants,  and  trying  out  their  qualifica- 
tions on  successive  editions,  until,  when  sickness  compelled  him  to 
drop  many  phases  of  the  work,  they  were  able  to  carry  it  to  com- 
pletion. 
It  is  therefore,  no  surprise  to  learn  that  the  future  of  Reming- 
ton's Practice  of  Pharmacy  will  be  ably  taken  care  of  by  E.  Ful- 
lerton  Cook,  and  Charles  H.  La  Wall,  both  of  whom  are  already 
well  known  in  pharmacy  and  whose  selection  will  insure  the  con- 
tinuance of  the  same  high  standard  and  at  the  same  time,  the  prac- 
tical character  of  this  famous  pharmaceutical  guide.
