OFFICE, LABORATORIES, AND CENTRAL WHOLESALE AND
RETAIL DEPOT, 49, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London.

September, 1856.
This Company has been established to meet the urgent rublic
demand for pure Drugs and Chemicals, and for Medicines prepared
by the aid of the present advanced state of science.
It was Incorporated in January last. under the provisions of the
Limited Liability Act.
Spacious Premises have been taken—Warehouses, Drug Mills,
Laboratories, and Machinery erected ; and the Company is now
prepared for business, wholesale and re ail.
An nspection of the Estate ishment in Servers-street will abun-
dantly prove that this Company possesses power and facilities to
perform all that it promises, namely— to prepare and supply the
Medical Profession and the P bile pith Medicines of every kind,
of known strength. and perfect purity. Invalids' Foods, and Domes..
tic Chemicals. It is confident y believed that, by observing good
fwth with the public in its operations, such a Company cannot fail
to inspire confidence, and accompl s', far more than any corps of
Government Inspectors.
Among its arrangements may be menthned

-Ist. That no

g ou 1 das

Pharmaceutical and Chemical Laboratories are under the constant
superintendence of a resident emin, nt scientific Chemist, recom-
mended by Baron Liebiz and Dr. Fresenius, as eminently qualified
for thos, duties. sth. That the prepare. ions ordered by the Colleges
in their Pharmacopoeias, ere made strictly in accordance with their
directions.
The Directors have taken measures to ascertain the views of the
Profession ; an 1 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 as: urances 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-
scr bed. although very 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

I 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 TowLs of Great Britain, for the sale of their
drugs, and preparation=, and far dispensing prescriptions. This
intention is strengthened, since many profitable businesses, already
established, have been offered to the Company, under the impres-
sion that it must command a very large trade fo❑nded on public
confidenco.

By the establishment of such branches, the compaly will not
only secure the 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 Estabiialiments
at far less expense than individuals, since all preparations and coin•
pounds wi I be prepared at the central laboratories, in Berners-
street.

The public Press has added another to the many important ser-
rices it has rendered to Society by exposing the evils arising from
the prevalenc, 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 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 Mall, and, there'ore.
with bad or ineffic'ent drugs he acts like a paralysed man, w ose
limbs refuse o obey him. The physician may hive 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 cf this virtue than it professes to do, and perhaps erea
that injured by some foreign a'rnixture, 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.
pens that a person, from taking 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 n e learn
from the evidence given before the Committee on Adulteration that
the adulteration of drugs, though considerably reduced of late years,
stbl guei on to a :arge 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
cities 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
told that 19 out of every 24 samples of opium are adulterated."
The Directors of the GENERAL APOTHECARIES' COMPANY
(limited) consider that the remc +3, 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 purity in medicines, and
staking its existence upon maintaining good faith with the pro-
fession and the public.

Upon these considerations it was reso:ved, at a General Extra-
ordinary Meeting of (he Sh reholdets, held at 49, Bernere-street,
August 28, ;856, that the Cai.ital of the Company should be at
prepared to
once increased by the issue of further Shares, at the discretion of
the Directors, for the pu pose of extending the business cf the
Comp ny ; such Shares to h • issued at par, namely, .4'lo each.
