OBITUARY. 
Elijah  W.  Sackrider,  M.D.,  died  on  the  14th  of  April  last.  He  had  been 
in  the  drug  business  for  a  number  of  years,  in  Cleveland,  O.,  and  was  highly 
esteemed  by  all  who  knew  him  ;  he  was  connected  with  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  from  1859  to  1870,  and  was  at  one  time  one  of  its  vice- 
presidents.  A  friend  writes  of  him :  "  When  I  think  of  his  bright  eye, 
elastic  step,  and  youth-like  eagerness  in  the  pursuit  of  whatever  might  be  the 
object  of  our  search,  '  I  cannot  make  him  dead.'"  He  lately  visited  the  South, 
having  been  ailing  for  some  time  from  a  pulmonary  complaint,  which  terminated 
his  life. 
James  G.  Fritchev,  a  graduate  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  of 
the  class  1868-69,  was  born  at  Mechanicsburg,  Cumberland  County,  Pa.,  April 
6th,  1849,  and  learned  the  apothecary  business  with  Mr.  E.  B.  Garrigues,  of  this 
city.  Shortly  after  he  graduated,  the  symptoms  of  pulmonary  consumption 
made  their  appearance,  and  the  disease  closed  his  earthly  career  on  November 
4th,  1871,  at  his  father's  residence.  The  deceased  was  a  conscientious  and 
promising  young  man.
