John King, M. D**This brief biography is compiled, largely, from an article by this writer, published in the Western Druggist, December, 1893, and reprinted in the Eclectic Medical Journal, Cincinnati, January and February, 1894. The writer regrets that space does not now permit of a more extended paper on the life of this remarkable man, a subject of absorbing interest. But those desiring gr-r details will find them in the admirable work of Professor Harvey Wickes Felter, M. D., in Bulletin No. 10 (Pharmacy Series No. 5), of the Lloyd Library of Botany, Pharmacy and Materia Medica. In this is also presented an admirable frontispiece engraving of the man whose work is herein described.
