to  give  up  some  of  his  work.  But  improving  somewhat,  he  took 
up  his  joint  college  and  editorial  work  again  and  continued  until  in 
May,  1898,  he  was  forced  to  place  the  editorship  of  the  Journal 
in  other  hands  and  seek  entire  rest. 
But  the  seeds  of  a  fatal  disease  were  already  sown,  and  in  August 
came  the  end  of  his  life's  activity. 
As  before  remarked,  Henry  Trimble  has  left  his  mark  upon  the 
literature  of  pharmacy  and  chemistry.  Starting  as  a  pharmaceu- 
tical apprentice  himself  and  earning  his  way  through  College, 
every  step  of  his  career  was  carved  out  by  his  own  exertions. 
His  example  may  well  be  emulated  by  young  men  who  start  life 
with  perhaps  a  fear  that  the  difficulties  ahead  of  them  are  too 
great  and  the  rewards  too  remote  or  uncertain.  He  leaves  be- 
hind him  also  for  those  who  were  privileged  to  know  him  well  a 
precious  recollection — that  of  a  true-hearted  and  faithtul  friend, 
who  was  always  the  same  and  whose  word  could  always  be  relied 
upon  implicitly. 
A  widow  and  three  daughters  remain  to  cherish  the  memory  of 
an  affectionate  husband  and  father.  S.  P.  S.
