49, BERNERS STREEET, OXFORD STREET, LONDON.
The House of Commons appointed, last year, a Committee to
ascertain the extent of prevailing adUteratlons in articles of food,
dines, 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 its powerful energy since, has succeeded, in some degree, in
checking the more daring and open continuance of the practice.
The public mind has b,coine thoroughly aware of these practices.
Alarmed at them, and yet scarcely knowing how to avoid them, some
Professional gentlemen in London, who had experienc,d the same
difficulties is to purity and uniformity of strength in D ugs and
Chemicals, Invalids' Food, &c., combined, originat-d, an estab-
lished the GENERAL APOTHECARIES' COMPANY (Limited) as a
remedy for this gigantic and serious evil; and as a protection for all
classes.
The Public and the Profession are entitled, and ought to enquire
of ihis Company-
1. What are the objects in view, and the principles of action?
2. By what means will these be carried out ?
3. What gu,raiitees are there for the faithful performance?
Ist. The objects of the Company arc, to pre. are and sutply the
Medical Profession and the Public with medicines Of every Icini, of
known strength and perfect purity ; Food, and Domestic
Chemicals. To improve the forms of old remedies, to i•droduce 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 from careless and

inaccurate dispensing.
2nd. The Company purchases at the best markets, only, the finest
qualities of sound and genuine Drugs ; these are crushed or ground
on the premises, by the machinery of the Company, and there made
into the various preparatirns ; being thus under perfect control.
Such Chemicals as are cot tru,de by the Company are obtained only
from the first manufacturers, te,ted and exal hied before use, and
where only commercially pure, are made chemically so, by r:-crys-
talisation and other processes, in the laboratories, under the con-
stant superintendence of an e c inent resident Chemist, recommended
by Baron Liebeg and Dr. Presenius. The exact composition of
every article is ascertained and stated, before brought into use. A
depot Atli' be opened in every large and important town in the king-
dom, for the sale of th ,se 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 prescriber*, and agreeable to the
directions of the British and Foreign Pharmacopoeias. The Com-
pany's preparations way thus be obtained directly by the public,
without the risk attending intermediate channels.
3rd. Tire 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 scintific as well as a commercial body; the war
waged against adulterations ant traud, which will create watchful
opponents, ready to expose any defaults; and lastly, the powerful
motives of self-interest; all these c.tyer guarantees for t e faithful
carrying out and onward, of the business of the General Apothecaries'
Company (Limited), in accordance with its princlples.
The Liverpool Apothecaries' Company, founded and carried on
upon exactly the same principles, having satisfied itself by careful
inspection of the machinery, st iff, 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
beneficial 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
Liverpool, is still open for allotment.

THE CASE OF MR. L. T. GISKILL,
LATE MESSENGER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

--- - - _
SEVERAI, friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken
w..: his C 390 into consideration, and believing as they do,
that it is one of great hart-1.11i'). have INSTI I. UPE D A SUBSCRIP-
TION fa, behalf ot' hints if an I family. Mr. Gaskill was summarily
dismissed on the 28th of last March, since which time he has not
been in the receipt of one shilling having been solely dependent
upon the contributions of a few friends. Mr. Gaskill had held his
situation for fourteen years, no complaint having ever beefs urged
against him further t an having been forced into *prison for twenty-
one days, through being sectoity for one of th:.. Manchester official
assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is no doubt, has been mist crueily
treated, as the following extract from one. of Isis letters to the Liver -
po 1 Journal will tend to show:—
With reference to my insolvency, I can point to three registrars of
Bankruptcy Courts in this county who have taken the benefit of the
Insolvent Acts, sod yet retained their situations. One messenger
in this county was suspended for twelve months from his office, took
the benefit of the Act, which involved a renrind of four months to
Lancaster Castle, and still now holds his appointment. I was dis-
charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms
had been complied with, which occupied five minutes!
Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters, by which he hopes
that an enoniry may be instituted into his case :
From the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby :
London. August 9, 1856.

Sir,—l have sent your later to the Lord Chancellor, and called
his atte tion to its con ents. which seem to furnish matter for inves.
tigation.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, HARROWBY.

L. T. Gaskill, Esq.
From the Rt. Hon. Spring Rice, Sec. to the Lord Chancellor :-
40, Upper Brooke.stieet, August 16, 1856,

Sir,—l have to ackowledge the receipt of your letter of the 7th
inst., and its enclosure, which I will being before tit., Lord Chan-
cellor. I may add, however, that his lordship has al,eady given much
consideration to your case.—l am, sir, your obedient rervant,
W. C. SPRING RICK.

The envelope was marked " Cranworth."
From'` Talk on 'Change," Liverpool Journal, August 23, 185 G.
Talking of judges, there was some talk about the judges of the
Bankruptcy Court, and it was, that a curious case is likely to be
obtruded speedily on the public; that Mr. Gaskill was recently
dismissed from the office of messenger to the Liverpool Bankruptcy
Court; that he was wrongfully dismissed and his office wrongfully
given to another; that he has made a statement aids case, and that
vie Lord Chancellor has it now under consideration; that Mr.
Gaskill has been harshly used ; that it is true he is one ty. tl.e best-
natured men living ; thar, in a strange disregard oF p ulence, he
went security for an official assignee, that the °filet d assignee
ran away, and that Mr. Gaskill was called on to pt:y ; t he did
pay a part; that he off4red to pay the remainder in tithe, but !hJ
the waties would not wait and that the insolvent Court tsta. tie only

alternative; that, during the necessary process of twen•v-,n
Mr. Commissioner Stevenson caused him to be dismis cd, b❑

although dozens of Bankruptcy officials have been insolv,rvs, M r.
Gaskill is the only one who has lost kis place by a visit to Lanaust r
Castle.

September, 1856.
This Company has been established to meet the urgent public
demai.d for pure Drugs and Cherme,ls, and for Medicines prepared
by the aid of the present advanced state a, science.
It was Incorporated in January last, under the provisions of the
Limited Liability Act
Spacious Pi eii,isc

_aye been taken—WDrehouse., Drog Mills,
Machinery erected ; and the Company is now

Laboratories, and
prr pared for business, whoies:de and re ail.
An nspect.cn of the Estate ishmeot in Berners-street will abun-
dantly prove that this Company possesses power and facilities to
perform all that it promises, tamely—to prepare and ,apply the
Medical Profession and the P btic uith Medi,ines of every kind,
of known strength, and perfect purify. Invalids' Foods, and Domes.
tic Chemicals. It is confident y believed that, by observing good
fa,th with the public in its operations, such a Company cannot fail
to inspire confidence, and accompl'sa far more than any corps of
Government Inspectors.
Among its arrangements may be menti ned :-Ist. That no
fore gn or indigenous Drugs are purchased except such as are
sound and genuine. 2nd. That they are crushed or ground upon
the premi,es. 3rd. That all commercial Chemicals are to=ted or
analyzed before they are sold for medicinal purposes. 4th. That the
Phartnace,itical and Chemical Labor.tories are under the constant
superititc.,ndence of a resident eminent scientific Chemist, recom-
mended by Baron Liebiz and Dr. Frvsenius, as eminently qualified
for those duties. sth. That the preparations ordered by the Colleges
in their Pharmacopoeias, ere made strictly in accordance with their
cbrecticf.s.
The Directors have taken measures to ascertain the views of the
Profession ; and they are gratified to find that this entetprise 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-
sm.:bed. although wry 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 D.-pot ; and to open Branches to suit the convenience of
the public in various parts of the Metropolis, and in the principal
Provincial Cities and Towr,s of Great Britain, for the sale of their
drugs, and preparation,, and for dispensing prescriptions. This
intention is strengthened, since nraty profitable businesses, already
established, have been offered to the Company, under the impres-
sion that it must command a very large trade founded on public
confidence.

I;Ytileestablishment of such branches, the company will not
only secure th 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 tar less expense than individuals, since alt preparations and com-
pounds will be prepared at the central laboratories, in Berners-
strret.

The public Press has added another to the many important ser-
eices it has tendered to Society by exposing the evils arising from
the prevalence of adulteration of Drugs and Chemicals employed in
Medicine, and, demanding a remedy for this abuse, The Times, of
August 25, observes:—
" It requires but a slight portiun'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 inefficient drugs he acts like a paralysed man, w' ose
limbs refuse o obey him. 'ihe physician may have the moat exact
idea in his bead of the amount of drug power which he wants to
apply to the patient's disease; but if his drug deceives him, and con-
tains less of this virtue than it professes to do, an perhaps even
that injured by some foreign admixture, his whole estimate is
affected, and the process becomes a piece of guesswork. As one
witness says before the Committee on Adulteration' The mischief
of defective medicines is not always immediate. It frequently hap.

son is almost poisoned.' It is therefore with much concern w e learn
from the evidence given before the Committee on Adulteration that
the adulteration of drugs, though considerably reduced of late years,
still g,,e, on to a !twee amount. Nor is this concerts-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 di ease in which the correctness of the strength of an
opiate must make all the difference of life and death; }et we are

. _
toll that 19 out of every 21_ sarPples of opium are adulteirated."
The Directors of the GP.N&P.A L APOTH RCARI ES' COMPANY
(limited) consider that the reme 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
arrangements, to meet the demand for pu!itY in medicines, and
staking its existence upon maintaining good faith with the pro-
fession and the public.
Upon lbese considerations it was resolved, at a General Extra-
ordinary Meeting of the Sh reholders, held at 49, Berners-street,
August 28, 1856, that the Capital of the Company should be at
once increased by the issue of further Shares, at the discretion of
the Directors, for the pu pose of extending the business of the
Comp.,ny ; such Shares to b issued at par, namely, -tit) each.
The Directors therefore announce, that they are prepared to
receive appltrAtons for such Shares.
lhe Premises and L,boratories are open to the inspection of
Visitors, on forwarding their cards to the Illanager ; and persons
desirous of subscribing for
_Shares are invited to [visit the
Establishment.
