THE GENERAL APOTHECARIES' COM-
PANY (LIMITED).
CAPITAL ..e100,090.
Central Depot, Manufactory, I aboratories, &c.:
49, BERNERS STBEEET, OXFORD STREET, LONDON.
The House of Commons appointed, last year, a Committee to
ascertain the extere of prevailing adu.terations in articles of food,
drugs, chemicals, &c. The evidence given before it, and printed
with its report, exposed a fearful amount of sophistication and frau-
dulent dealings in drugs, &c.
The public press had, before this, denounced this enormous evil;
and by i:s powerful energy since, has succeeded, in some degree, in
checking the more daring and open continuance of the practice.
The public mind has la come thoroughly aware of these practices.
Alarmed at them. and yet scarcely knowing how to avoid them, some
professional gentlemen in London, who had experienced the same
difficulties as to purity and uniformity of strength in Drugs and
Chemicals, Invalids' Food, &c., combined, originated, and estab-
lished the GENERAL APOTHECARIES' COMPANY (Limited) as a
remedy for this gigantic and serious evil; and as a protection for all
classetr.
The Public and the Profession are entitled, and ought to enquire
of this Company-
1. Wirit, are the objects in view, and the principles of action?
2. By what means will these be carried out?
3. What gte.rantees are there for the faithful performance 7
Ist. The objects of the Company are, to pre, are and supply the
Medical Profession and the Public with medicines of every kind, of
known strength and perfect purity; Invalids' Fool, and Domestic
Chemicals. To improve the forms of old remedies, to introduce new
from all quarters of the world, wherever satisfactory evidence of
their value is obtained. To sell every article under Its right name,
without substitution, and of defined and uniform strength, and at
fair and moderate prices. To protect the public, by a careful selection
of intelligent Assistants, from the dangers arising fr,,m careless and
inaccurate dispensing.
2nd. The Company purchases at the best markets, only, the finest
qualities of sound and genuipe Drugs ; these are crushed or groued
on the premises, by the machinery of th- Company, an I there mode
into the various preparations; being thus under perfect control.
Such Chemicals as are not made by the Company are obtained only
from the first manufacturers, tested and examined before use, and
where only commercially pure, are made chemically so, by re-crys-
talisation and other processes, in the laboratories, under the con-
stant superintendence of an e ninent resident Chemist, recommended
by Baron Liebeg and Dr. Fresenius. The exact composition of
every article is ascertained and stated, before brought into use. A
depot aid be opened in every large and important town in the king-
dom, for the sale of theie articles; whe e the public may obtain all
domestic medicines, invalids' food, &c., as pure as human means
can make them ; where prescriptions will be prepared exactly in
accordance with the intentions of the prescribers, and agreeable to the
directions of the British and Foreign Pharmacopoeias. The Com-
pany's preparations may thus be obtained directly by the public,
without the risk attending intermediate channels.
3rd. Toe possession of ample capital; the status and character of
the Directors ; the numerous shareholders belonging to the Medical
' Profession, who will be deeply interested in the bona fides; the high
standing taken as a sci, ntific as well as a comm ercial body; the war
waged against adulterations on t fraud, which will create watchful
opponents, ready to expose any defaults; and lastly, the powerful
motives of self-interest; all these offer guarantees for t e faithful
carrying out and onward, of the business of the General Apothecaries'
Company (Limited), in accordance with its principles.
The Liverpool Apothecaries' Company, founded and carried on
upon exactly the same principles, having satisfied itself by careful
inspection of the machinery, it off, and general organisation of the
General Apothecaries' Company (Limited), that it is perfectly able
and fully resolved to carry out those principles, and to extend its
ben,ficial advantages widely throughout the country. has therefore
resolved to be identified with and merge into it; for which purpose
arrangements will speedily be matured.
A small portion of the capital of the Company set apart for
Live pool, is still open for allotment.
Applications for ehares to be made to the Managing Director,

It has been suggested by highly influential members of
the general committee that the memory of Captain
Thompson could not be more consistently honoured than
by vesting a portion of the fund that may be contributed,
in the names of Trustees, for the purchase of Regimental
steps, which would eventually place a younger Brother,
already in the army, in that rank which was awarded to
Captain Thompson, for the services and surTerings which
led to his untimely end.
