Iowa C. P. Gets Research Chemist.

The College of Pharmacy of the University of Iowa will have a research assistant this coming year for the first time.

The College of Pharmacy and the Department of Organic Chemistry have combined efforts to discover processes that are commercially possibly for the manufacture of certain chemicals that are extremely expensive at the present time or unprocurable because of the war with Germany.

W. A. Konantz, of Quincy, Illinois, has been employed by the State Board of Education to give his whole time to this work and will have the help and co-operation of the staff of instruction of Pharmacy and Chemistry.

The first problem taken up will be the manufacture of acetphenetidin or Phenacetine. The chemistry and methods of manufacture are of course known at present but no method of manufacture is known in the U. S. that permits it to be made at a reasonable price. The problem is therefore to discover a method of manufacture that is practical and a commercial possibility from the standpoint of price.

In view of the fact that the solution of many chemical problems of technique as well as chemical nature, it offers an exceptional opportunity for colleges of pharmacy to take up this very important line of investigative work.

The summer session in pharmacy from July 30 to August 25 is for the purpose of teaching to druggists, clerks and students the changes in the new U. S. P. The work will cover pharmacopoeial testing and changes; manufacturing pharmacy; applied pharmacy; theory and practice and pharmacognosy.

A somewhat unpatriotic little son of Italy, twelve years old, came to his teacher in a city public school and asked if he could not have his name changed.

"Why do you want to change your name?" the teacher asked.

"I want to be an American. I live in America now."

"What American name would you like?" "I have it here," he said, handing the teacher a dirty scrap of paper, on which was written "Patrick Dennis McCarty."

Great American Chemical Products Co.

The Great American Chemical Products Company is the result of the resolution offered at the Indianapolis meeting of the N. A. R. D. This resolution resented the high prices of chemicals and asked that a remedy be suggested.

After several conferences, it was decided that the best remedy would be to co-operatively produce in America the chemicals used in the American market. Investigation revealed the presence right at home of all the raw material needed. It was then decided to form the company, and in April The Great American Chemical Products Company was launched.

The officers are: President, Clifford R. Daily; Secretary, George McLeod; Treasurer, Farquhar MacRae; Auditor, George Sinclair, all of New York; President of Advisory Board, M. A. Stout, Bluffton, Ind.; Chairman of Advisory Board, Chas. H. Huhn, Minneapolis, Minn. The Home Office is 23 Liberty Street, New York, and Western Office, 1213 Peoples Gas Building, Chicago.

Its growth to date is very gratifying. Considerable progress has been made, three auxiliary plants being nearly completed, and a chemical discovery already made which gives promise of supplanting the famous Wasserman test used by the medical profession. This preparation is being marketed under the name "Aucoloid."

Colloidal gold has been produced in large hospitals and research laboratories all over the world, but in each instance only after prolonged and costly effort and only with an uncertain retention of its clinical properties. The prime difficulty was to have the gold remain in suspension until clinically used; and to have it then voluntarily cease suspension and precipitate. It was like teaching a child to stand, and then being unable to make it lie down again.

The discovery announced is not colloidal gold or its properties, but the making a retention of its clinical properties certain, continuous and always available whenever and wherever wanted, at small cost. The discovery is a result of long research in St. Luke's Hosp. (N. Y.) and Johns-Hopkins University.

Frank McDonough a Director of McK. & R.

FRANK J. MCDONOUGH.

From errand boy at 12, to director at 28this is the remarkable record of Mr. Frank J. McDonough, who, at a meeting of the board of directors of the house of McKesson & Robbins, Inc., New York, held on June 12, was elected a director of the corporation. His elevation to the business peerage of McK. & R. is a splendid example of the policy of the house of promoting those employees who have demonstrated their ability and also their capacity for work, and who have proved themselves worthy of the confidence of the directors. Frank McDonough measured up to this standard in every way. Mr. McDonough entered the employ of McK. & R. in 1901. His first position was as errand boy. He not only did more errands than other boys, but he did them well. He was transferred to the Requisition Department, and from there to the Import Department, under Mr. J. C. Wagstaff, and continued in that department until the death of Mr. Wagstaff, in 1909. At the age of twenty he was given Mr. Wagstaff's position in the Buying Department, and became assistant to Mr. John McKesson, Jr., in the handling of all foreign purchases. In the summer of 1910 he was sent to Europe to pick up whatever knowledge of business he could, so as to be in a position to take care of importations and foreign purchases upon his return. From that time on Mr. McDonough took care of the foreign purchases and attended to the details for Mr. John McKesson, Jr. In addition, he handled all the insurance business of the house, and in 1916 the purchasing of all drugs and chemicals was put in his charge.

This will give them over 22,000 additional square feet.

The three-story building will be used for light manufacturing and research work in connection with the Chemical Department and will be equipped with, a mong other things, a dining room and shower baths. The 80 by 100 building will be used for increasing the production of the present plant and manufacturing additional products which the Company is contemplating bringing out.

Biologics Through the Wholesaler.

Ordering biologicals through the wholesaler is proving a great convenience to many retail druggists who are taking advantage of the excellent distribution that Lilly Biologicals enjoy to decrease the amount of capital invested in biological products, improve their service to physicians, and hasten the stock turnover. The problem of adequate storage conditions for delicate products such as biologicals, has been very satisfactorily overcome by wholesalers. It is said that a large number have installed specially constructed refrigerators, and many of them provide a special night service on Lilly. Biologicals.

The retail druggist who persuades his local physicians to use Lilly Vaccines can keep his investment down to a minimum, render prompt service and keep his stock in good condition with little or no trouble from outdated products.

American Efficiency.

a

German efficiency has been held up as a degree of excellence unattainable by Democracy. The accomplishments of the United States since April 5th last refute the truth of the claim. In the short space of time since that day the United States has accomplished the following:

Declared a state of war as existing between this country and Germany;

Seized ninety-one German ships and begun repair work on them;

Authorized unanimously a war fund of $7,000,000,000;

Appropriated $600,000,000 for merchant shipping and as much for air fleets;

Agreed to loan our Allies $3,000,000,000 and advanced them a large proportion of that sum; Passed a selective draft law and in a single day registered nearly ten millions men for military service;

Enlisted 600,000 volunteer soldiers in the Regular Army and in the National Guard of the States;

Sent a Commission to Russia to aid Democracy there and a body of railroad men to Russia and another to France to advise and assist in railroad transportation in those countries;

Sent to England a fleet of destroyers and to France a detachment of troops;

Authorized and now enforcing embargo whereby our enemies will receive no more food or material from us;

Passed a food conservation law;

Organized many voluntary commissions and boards who are aiding the Government and the people in the speeding up of work, conservation of food and other national movements;

Drafted by lot 687,000 men for military service;

While the Government was accomplishing these things, the American people have loaned the United States $2,000,000,000 and offered $1,000,000,000 more, over four million citizens subscribing to the loan.

In addition they have given over $100,000,000 to the American Red Cross and $3,000,000 to the Young Men's Christian Association.

All these things were accomplished while our soil was not invaded or even threatened with invasion and without any disturbance of business conditions. All was done with the calm determination and judgment of an earnest, patriotic people performing a service for civilization and mankind and maintaining the rights, the dignity, and the honor of the greatest nation in the world.
