ceded  him  a  few  years  ago.  In  keeping  with  his  foresight  and 
methodical  habits,  he  sold  his  store  ten  days  before  his  death. 
Professor  Good  was  not  a  rapid  worker  nor  a  man  of  quick 
action  or  snap  judgment.  He  led  a  busy,  steady  and  very  resolute 
life.  He  was  recognized  wherever  he  went  as  a  man  of  integrity 
and  with  a  well-defined  character.  While  not  unchanging  nor  un- 
changeable in  a  broader  sense,  he  remained  adamant  as  far  as  his 
purpose  and  principles  in  life  were  concerned.  His  interest  in 
national  affairs  and  questions  immediately  vital  to  the  country  was 
constant  and  much  of  the  time  of  the  past  few  years  was  devoted  to 
the  reading  of  current  literature  dealing  with  world  affairs.  He 
was  a  staunch  Republican  in  principle,  but  not  dogmatic  in  politics. 
Born  and  raised  and  married  as  a  Quaker,  he  continued  a  Quaker 
in  spirit  and  principle  throughout  life.  Being  quite  alone  as 
Quakers,  Professor  and  Mrs.  Good  early  affiliated  with  the  Church 
of  the  Unity,  finding  it  an  acceptable  place  for  them  to  worship. 
Professor  Good  was  for  a  quarter  of  a  century  a  director  in  the 
church  and  for  many  years  the  treasurer. 
The  pharmacists  of  the  country  at  large  knew  Good  best  on  ac- 
count of  his  long  and  active  work  in  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association.  He  joined  during  the  St.  Louis  meeting  in  187 1, 
became  third  vice-president  in  1890  and  president  in  1895.  His 
work  as  chairman  of  the  council  from  1888  to  1894  caused  the 
officers  and  other  active  members  to  recognize  his  executive  ability 
and  parliamentary  efficiency.  In  1894,  he  served  as  chairman  of  the 
Section  on  Education  and  Legislation.  Pharmaceutical  literature 
received  occasional  contributions  from  his  pen.  They  were  always 
along  educational,  legislative  or  practical  lines.  His  papers-  were 
very  much  to  the  point  and  free  from  embellishing  verbiage.  As  a 
speaker,  Professor  Good  held  the  close  attention  of  conventions  and 
made  his  points  as  he  went  along  without  eloquence  or  oratory. 
In  pharmacopceial  affairs,  Professor  Good  dates  back  to  the  con- 
vention of  1890.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Committee  on  Revision 
from  1900  to  the  time  of  his  death.  He  was  also  interested  in  the 
National  Formulary  and  its  propaganda. 
Professor  Good  had  an  intense  conviction  of  the  value  of  phar- 
maceutical bodies  and  practiced  his  preaching  that  all  druggists 
should  support  their  local,  state  and  national  organizations.  He 
joined  the  Missouri  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1880,  was  treas- 
urer from  1883  to  1887  and  president  in  1888.    He  was  secretary
