upon  him.  He  more  than  once  furnished  working  plans  to  his 
competitors  in  business  for  the  famous  apparatus  for  making  ether. 
He  did  not  believe  it  proper  from  a  scientific  point  of  view,  to  with- 
hold any  secrets  in  manufacturing  from  those  who  were  interested 
in  the  work.  The  files  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy 
reveal  many  cuts  and  drawings  which  were  used  to  illustrate  his 
numerous  pharmaceutical  papers,  which  he  freely  furnished  to  his 
friend,  Prof.  William  Procter,  the  former  editor  of  this  publication- 
We  find  by  consulting  this  Journal  that  his  first  paper  was  pub- 
lished in  1855,  and  was  entitled  "Preparation  of  Citrate  of  Iron  and 
Quinine  and  its  Constituents."    After  this  appeared  the  following:
