Pharmacy  and  who  was  initiated  into  the  art  of  the  apothecary  in 
an  Easton,  Pa.,  pharmacy,  has  become  the  sales  manager  of  the  phar- 
maceutical and  specialty  department  of  McKesson  and  Robbins,  of 
New  York.  Since  his  graduation  from  College,  Mr.  Solliday  has 
had  unusual  opportunities  with  several  large  commercial  interests 
in  Philadelphia  and  New  York  and  the  experience  and  knowledge 
thus  gained  coupled  with  his  ability  will  doubtless  enable  him  to 
fulfill  his  greater  expectations. 
Professor  Thomas  Frazer  Resigns. — Sir  Thomas  Frazer,  M.D., 
has  resigned  the  chair  of  materia  medica  at  the  Edinburgh  Univer- 
sity. Dr.  Frazer  was  a  member  of  the  committee  that  prepared  the 
latest  revision  of  the  British  Pharmacopoeia. 
Burroughs  Wellcome  &  Co.  Honor  Faithful  Employees. — 
In  recognition  of  faithful  service  extending  over  a  period  of  twenty- 
one  years,  Burroughs  Wellcome  &  Co.  recently  presented  watches 
to  the  following  of  their  employees :  Mr.  Albert  A.  Venables,  of  the 
home  order  department;  Miss  Maud  A.  Hollis,  Wellcome  Chemical 
Works,  and  Mr.  Archibald  C.  Lodge,  Wellcome  Chemical  Works. 
Joseph  Jacobs  as  an  Editorial  Writer. — Pharmacist  Jos. 
Jacobs,  of  Atlanta,  Georgia,  has  added  another  "  bit  for  the  cause  " 
in  two  editorials  appearing  in  recent  issues  of  the  Atlanta  Constitu- 
tion. The  one  on  "  Pharmacists  in  the  Army  "  is  an  able  appeal  for 
better  pharmaceutical  service  in  the  Army  and  the  enactment  of  the 
Edmonds'  bill. 
The  other  on  "Everyday  Patriotism  Needed  in  Winning  War" 
is  a  well-worded  "  Americanism  "  meriting  reproduction : 
There  is  the  making  of  a  true  patriot  in  every  man,  even  though  he  may 
never  see  a  uniform  or  attend  a  flag  raising. 
The  real  patriotism  consists  in  doing  your  work  well — giving  the  best 
service  that  is  in  you — giving  it  with  a  wide-open  heart,  with  the  thought  that 
all  you  can  have,  all  you  can  hope  to  have,  you  can  give  to  your  country's  call. 
This  should  be  the  platform,  the  creed,  of  patriotic  business.  We  can 
serve  our  country  best  by  doing  our  level  best  in  whatever  line  of  endeavor 
we  have  undertaken.  Honest  success,  wherever  achieved,  is  patriotic,  pro- 
vided there  is  back  of  it  a  willingness,  a  purpose,  to  give  whatever  is  needful 
to  be  given  to  the  country's  service. 
So  it  is  not  always  the  man  in  uniform ;  not  always  the  man  leading  the 
charge ;  not  always  the  man  plugging  the  U-boats,  who  has  a  monopoly  on 
patriotism.
