Abstract
DURING his stay in Great Britain, Dr. Frederick Belding Power made many friends among chemists, who will regret to learn of his death from heart failure in Washington on Mar. 30. He was born at Hudson, in New York State, in 1853, and at the early age of thirteen years was apprenticed to a local pharmacist. This direct connexion with pharmacy was continued up to 1874, when, after securing his diploma at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, Power went to Strasbourg, where he took his Ph.D. in 1880. Returning to the United States, he held, among other teaching appointments, the professorship of materia medica and pharmacy at Wisconsin University.
