facture  of  a  general  line  of  preparations.  In  the  division  of  their 
labors,  Charles  E.  Dohme  took  charge  of  the  laboratories  and  Louis 
began  to  introduce  their  products  to  neighboring  physicians, 
pharmacists  and  wholesale  druggists,  finally  extending  his  territory 
until  it  practically  covered  the  United  States  east  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains.  It  is  said  that  Mr.  Dohme  made  many  friends  among 
those  he  visited,  and  that  these  have  remained  as  loyal  patrons 
of  the  firm  ever  since. 
Mr.  Sharp  withdrew  from  the  firm  in  1885,  and  the  next  year  it 
was  incorporated  with  Louis  Dohme  president,  Charles  E.  Dohme 
vice-president  and  Ernest  Stauffen  secretary  and  treasurer,  the 
latter  also  having  charge  at  present  of  the  firm's  New  York  office. 
Besides  the  officers,  C.  P.  Dohme,  a  younger  brother,  and  Dr.  A. 
R.  L.  Dohme  were  included  in  the  Board  of  Directors. 
Mr.  Dohme  was  not  alone  interested  in  seeing  his  firm  advance, 
but  was  active  in  advancing  the  cause  of  pharmacy  in  other  ways, 
he  having  held  several*  positions  of  honor  and  trust.  For  some 
years  he  was  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Examiners  of  the  Maryland 
College  of  Pharmacy  and  in  1875  was  elected  president  of  the 
College,  serving  in  this  position  until  1890,  when  he  was  succeeded 
by  his  brother  Charles  E.  Dohme,  who  held  the  position  until  the 
affiliation  of  the  College  and  the  University  of  Maryland.  In  igoo 
he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  U.  S. 
Pharmacopoeial  Convention.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Maryland 
State  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  a  life  member  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  a  member  of  the  social 
clubs,  the  Germania  and  Country  Clubs  of  Baltimore.  He  was 
fond  of  art  and  literature,  and  devoted  much  of  his  spare  time  to 
the  reading  of  the  classics. 
Mr.  Dohme  was  unmarried,  and  had  made  his  home  for  the 
past  25  years  with  his  brother,  Charles  E.  Dohme,  at  822  North 
Carrollton  Avenue.    His  funeral  was  held  here. 
He  is  survived  by  two  brothers — Messrs.  Charles  E.  and  William 
F.  Dohme.  He  also  left  six  nephews — Drs.  A.  R.  L.  and  Gustavus 
C.  Dohme;  Messrs.  Justus  Dohme,  C.  Louis  Dohme,  of  Culpeper, 
Va.;  William  I.  F.  Dohme,  of  Montclair,  N.  J.,  and  Carl  A.  G. 
Frisius — and  six  nieces — Misses  Adele  C.  Dohme,  Clara  Dohme, 
Nettie  Dohme,  of  Montclair,  N.  J.;  Mrs.  Charles  G.  Holzhauer, 
of  Newark,  N.  J. ;  Mrs.  Alma  Von  Marees  and  Miss  Agnes  Frisius.
