Company, and with labels worded verbatim et literatim to those of the original manufacturers. The magistrate, in registering the conviction, gave the defendant's solicitor, who hinted at an appeal, to understand that, if he entertained that idea, he would not only fine but imprison his client as the law provided. The case was adjourned for a week, at the end of which time Cruttenden, through his solicitor, gave an undertaking that he would stop all manufacture of glyco-thymol and destroy all labels, bottles, and the like, connected with the sale of that preparation.

The firm of Kress & Owen Company are deserving of congratulation over the result of this case. They had every reason for prosecuting Cruttenden, as it was nothing short of dishonest, and entirely contrary to the law, that he should stoop to such practises and try to rob a firm who, by strictly ethical advertising (solely to the profession) and the expenditure of about $175,000 per annum, have secured a large sale of glyco-thymoline, a preparation found valuable in catarrhal conditions of the mucous membrane.

OBITUARY.

DR. ARTHUR T. O'HARA, of Buffalo, was found dead in his quarters at the quarantine hospital, East Ferry street, Sunday morning, January 1, 1905. His sudden death was attributed to cardiac rheumatism, a disease which had afflicted him for some time. Dr. O'Hara was 43 years old and for thirteen years he had been superintendent of the Buffalo quarantine hospital. This practically isolated him, thus depriving him of the ordinary social and professional privileges accorded physicians in general. He, however, became a specialist in contagious diseases, his opinion often being sought in doubtful or obscure manifestations. He was held in high esteem by the health authorities, not only because of the faithful discharge of his exacting duties but, further, because of his skill in his chosen field and of his professional uprightness. His body was incinerated at the Buffalo crematory.

DR. MADISON H. ROSE, of Thornton, Ind., a graduate of the University of Buffalo in 1861, died at his home, December 16, 1904, aged 72 years. Dr. Rose served as a medical officer during the civil war, attaining the rank of surgeon.

DR. THOMAS H. MANLEY, of New York, died at his home, January 13, 1905, aged 54 years. His death, which was caused by pneumonia, was somewhat sudden and came while he was in robust life and engaged in an active practice. He was visiting surgeon to the Harlem and Metropolitan hospitals.

DR. BYRON C. PENNINGTON, of Atlantic City, N. J., died at his home January 1, 1905, aged 47 years. He had been in failing health for some time, having visited Bermuda in the early winter, hoping to stay the progress of a disease that was already manifesting a dangerous attitude. Dr. Pennington was elected one of the vice-presidents of the American Medical Association at its last annual meeting.
