Entire Charge,

The Directors have taken measures to ascertain the views of the
Profes%ion ; and they are gratified to find that this enterprise has
elicited the cordial approbation of a very large number of Practioners
of Great Britain; they receive daily assurances of support, and the
Company is already doing a very satisfactory amount of business.
The first issue of the Capital of the Company was readily sub_
scribed, although aery little publicity was given to the design ; and
a considerable stock, together with Buildings, Plant, Machinery.
Utensils, and the Fittings of a spacious Shop for dispensing and
retail, with all preliminary expenses, and advertisements, have been
paid for, leaving a portion of the Capital in hand sufficient for the
business on a certain scale.

It was always, however, contemplated by the Directors to make
the premises in Berners-street the Manufacturing, and Central
Wholesale Deput ; and to open Branches to suit the convenience of
the public in various parts of the Metropolis, and in the principal
Provincial Cities and Towns of Great Britain, for the sale of their
drugs, and preparatiow, and for dispensing prescriptions. This
intention is strengthened, since many profitable businesses, already
established, h,1,.-e been offered to the Company, under the impres-
sion that it must command a very large trade founded on publit
confidence.

By th -'l.blishment of such branches, the company rill not
only se, , profits of a wholesale and manufacturing business,
but will add thereto the larger proportionate profits of the retail—
and, moreover, it will be able to conduct its branch Establishments
at far less expense than individuals, since all prepareions and com-
pounds will be prepared at the ceutral laboratories, in Berners-
street.

The public Press has added another to the many important ser-
vices it has rendered to Society by exposing the evils arising from
the prevalence of adulteration of Drugs and Chemicals employed in
Medicine, and, demanding a remedy for thin abuse, The Times, of
August 25, observes:—

"-It requires but a slight portion:of common sense to understand
how important an ingredient of medical success the purity of drugs
must be. Drugs are the executive of the medical man, and, therefore,
with bad or inefficeent drugs he acts like a paralysed man, we r3se
limbs refuse 10 obey him. The physician may have the most exact
idea in his head of the amount of drug power which he wants to
apply to the patient's disease; but if his drug deceives him, and con-
tainsless cf this virtue than it professes to do, and perhaps even
that injured by some foreign a imix!ure, his whole estimate is
affected, and the process becomes a piece of guesswork. As one
witness says befo, e the Committee on Adulteration, mischief
of defective medicines is not always immediate. It frequently hap-,
pens that a person, from ta!:ing a defective drug, increases the dose
in order to produce the desired effect. Then, upon taking the same
prescription to be made up, when the genuine drug is used the per-
son is almost poisoned.' It Is therefore with much concern we learn
from the evidence given before the Committee on Adulteration that
the adulteration of drugs, though considerably reduced of late years,
sti'l goes on to a lae;e amount. Nor Is this concern lessened when
we hear that the commonest and the most powerful drugs are both
subject to this adulteration. There must be numberless critical
eases of disease in which the correctness of the strength of an
opiate must make all the difference of life and death; het we are
told that IS out of every 24 samples of opium are adulterated."
The Directors of the Geeettae APOTIIECARIES' COIIPANY
(limited) consider that the remer'y for the evil thus exposed will be
found in their plan, and that public confidence must be obtained by
a large and respectable Company, able by its constitution and
errangements, to
meet the demand tor putty in medicines, and
staking its existence upon maintaining good faith with the pro-
fession and the public.
Upon these considerations it was resolved, at a General Extra-
ordinary Meeting of the Shareholders, held at 49, Berners-street,
August 28, 1855, that the Capital of the Con pany should be at
once increased by the issue of further Shares, at the discretion of
the Directors, for the pu,pase of extending the business of the
Comw,ny ; such Shares to b, issued at par, namely, .4'lo each.
