Professor Shepard.
AS An Author
Prof. ~Shepard's first contribution to
the science of chemistry was the publ
cation of ~"Shepard's Elements of
Chemistry" in 1885, by the d. C. Heath
ed in London by Isbister. 1t was an
epoch making book because it intro
duced the laboratory method of teach
ing chemistry as opposed to the old
didactic method. 1t was quickly adopt
ed by American colleges and the high
schools of such cities as New York,
Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago, Portland,
and San Francisco. The old style
chemistry text was practically driven
out of business. This book was follow
ed shortly by a briefer text and labora-
tory note books written by Prof. Shep-
ard,
AS Champion Of Pure Foods
Prof. Shepard was chemist of the
South Dakota pure food commission
for nine years. His first work was
Investigations of the effects of preser-
vatives and coal tar dyes on digestion,
on which he read many papers before
the National Association of State
Dairy and Food Commissions at such
places as Portland, st. Louis EXPOSE
ton, New Haven, st. Paul and Mack
inaw Island. His exhibit of adulterat-
ed foods at the st. Louis Worlds Fair
attracted worldwide attention. He
also addressed a meeting of Federated
Women's Clubs of America in st. Paul
which resulted in much agitation.
His bleached flour Investigations
made him internationally famous. His
investigations on nitrogen peroxide,
the agent used in bleaching -four, dis
closed the fact that it WIS a powerful
antiseptic. The results Of this work
were given in a paper read before the
national meeting of State Food and
Dairy Commission at Mackinaw Island,
when prosecutions were begun against
the bleaching trusts shortly after
wards. Prof. Shepard served as an
important witness together with Prof.
Ladd in a suit at Fargo. Next he con.
Quoted a hearing before United States
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in
which the bleaching trust was cited to
show why the practice should not be
prohibited in Interstate commerce. 1t
was prohibited. Later he was one of
two men called on the great English
case in London of the millers against
the Andrews bleaching company.
While the case was proved against the
bleachers, 1t is said that Lord Warning
ton decided that although the bleach
was antiseptic yet it was a good thing
because the English -four was being
shipped to India.
Prof. Shepard also served as witness
In d suit tried in New Orleans, brought
