MARTIN INVENTIUS WILBERT 1865-1916 Martin I. Wilbert was born at West Leyden, Lewis County, New York, June 1, 1865. Heat- tended a private school in Utica, spent some time in the employ of a drug store, and then en- tered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, from which he graduated with honor in 1890. After owning a retail store in Philadelphia for a very short time he was appointed apothe- cary to the German Hospital, Philadelphia, where he arranged and thoroughly equipped a com- plete hospital pharmacy. In 1908, Dr. Wilbert left the German Hospital to accept a position in the federal government, as assistant in the Division of Pharmacology of the Hygienic Laboratory, United States Public Health Service. Dr. Wilbert was a well read, many-sided man who took a deep interest in affairs and was particularly active in the advancement and betterment of his profession. He was a participant in the affairs of the Franklin Institute, the American Pharmaceutical Association, the American Roentgen Society, and the American Medical Association. He was a member of the Committee on Revision of the United States Pharmacopoeia, the Committee of the National Formulary, the Committee on Recipe Book of the American Pharmaceutical Association, and a member of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Martin I. Wilbert was regarded by all who knew him as a particularly fine type of man. His wide knowledge, kindliness, and good common sense, which he had in large measure, commanded respect and admiration from all who came in contact with him, either in business or social manner. Dr. Wilbert had always spoken of the German Hospital in Philadelphia as home. And in the home that he loved so well and among friends of many years, it was vouch- safed him to pass into the great beyond. 24
