This gentleman de sired to open a drug store, which he afterwards succeeded in doing, and Mr. Maisch took charge of the store for him, during a few months in 1850, after being instructed by Drs. Wiss and Vogler, and gaining more knowledge from books placed at his disposal by Dr. Wiss. Towards the end of 1851 the drug store was sold to other parties, and Maisch shortly after obtained employment in Washington, where he served as an assist ant until 1853. He next removed to Philadelphia, as his parents and some of his sisters had arrived there from Europe. Until 1855 he acted as clerk in Philadelphia and New York, and in the later part of this year was employed in a chemical factory of Brooklyn. In 1856 Mr. Maisch returned to Philadelphia, and accepted the position of clerk with E. B. Garrigues and Rob't Shoemaker Co., until 1859. He then gave instruction in a private school of practical pharmacy, conducted by the late Professor Parrish, at his Store, Eighth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia. This school was then frequented by many young medical students who have since become shining lights in their profession.
