Decease  of  H.  B.  Rosengarten,  Philadelphia. — Harry  B. 
Rosengarten,  President  of  the  Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten 
Company,  died  at  his  home  in  Philadelphia  on  February  19th,  after 
a  brief  illness.  Mr.  Rosengarten,  who  was  eight-four  years  of  age, 
was  stricken  with  paralysis  on  his  birthday,  February  16th. 
He  was  born  in  Philadelphia  and  educated  in  the  private  schools 
of  that  city.  He  then  entered  the  business  of  his  father,  the 
founder  of  Rosengarten  &  Son,  which  was  consolidated  with  the 
firm  of  Powers  &  Weightman  into  the  present  Powers-Weightman- 
Rosengarten  Company. 
Mr.  Rosengarten  was  connected  with  the  great  chemical  house 
for  more  than  sixty  years  and  during  that  long  period  gave  his 
steady  attention  to  the  affairs  of  the  company.  During  that  time 
he  not  only  earned  the  respect  and  admiration  of  his  friends  in 
business  but  was  also  very  popular  with  the  employees  of  the  offices 
and  plants.

macal  Company,  of  Norwich,  New  York,  announce  the  appointment 
of  W.  C.  Van  Bergen  as  advertising  manager,  vice  Geo.  L.  Vander 
Veer,  deceased.  Mr.  Van  Bergen's  broad  advertising  and  mer- 
chandising experience  will  doubtless  prove  of  value  in  furthering! 
the  policies  of  the  House  of  Norwich. 
Physician-Graduates  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  and  Science. — When  a  college  reaches  its  century  mark 
it  begins  to  take  a  correcter  account  of  those  who  have  graduated 
from  its  courses,  and  it  frequently  finds  data  which  is  quite  surpris- 
ing. We  have  had  recourse  recently  to  a  list  of  living  graduates  of 
this  institution  who  have  become  practicing  physicians.  We  find 
colonels  in  the  Army,  a  surgeon-general  of  the  navy,  rear-admirals, 
presidents  of  State  societies,  prominent  specialists  in  the  various 
branches  of  medicines,  professors,  instructors,  hospital  superintend- 
ents, medico-legal  experts,  etc.,  an  array  well  worthy  of  the  College 
that  gave  them  their  diploma  in  Pharmacy.  Nearly  five  hundred 
graduates  of  the  College  constitute  this  list  referred  to.
