The Wholesale Drug Trade.

The immense Importance of the drug trade
may be conceived from the relationship it
bears to human health, mechanical science
and the perfection of almost every useful ant.
The employment can scarcely be named, the
manufacture noted which does not depend
more or less for it's excellence upon articles
known as drugs and obtained from wholesale
dealers and importers or manufacturers of
such stock in trade. The medical man is en-
tirely at the mercy Of the druggist for unless
the articles in which he deals be pure, the
prescription is ~valueless or positively hurt
full. The ~manipulative arts requiring acids
and alkalis well known the loss and hindrance
produced by the use of inferior materials,
while the man who looks to certain results
from the combination of appropriate chemi-
calls must meet with disappointment and fail
ure if supplied with adulterated or worthless
articles. Under these circumstances it is of
immense importance to be able to rely upon
a drug house when requiring simple chemi-
Gals or authorized compounds for any pur-
pose, whether medical, mechanical or domes-
tic, and the house which once gains the rep
utatlon of dealing IN none but pure drugs Sc
cures a patronage which increases with time,
and which surely leads to heavy sales and
corresponding oppulence.
Such a house is thai of Hurlbut d Edsall,
of Lake street, Chicago, one OF the Oldest es-
tabllshed and most reliable drug houses Of
the Northwest. 1t is among the permanent
landmarks of that great trading city, and IN
der the management Of the present proprie-
tors, has obtained a far and wide popularity
among the retailers of the surrounding
States. Long experience in the selection Of
unadulterated drugs and chemicals, and an
intimate knowledge of all the
branches of manufacturing, import
ing and jobbing branches of
this important traffic, give them ac-
vantages possessedin their business enjoyed,
by but very few firms, and the customers who
trade with them can be, and are supplied
with drugs and chemicals of the purest char
acter. Fancy goods from the best and cheap
est markets, glassware of the newest styles,
soda. ash, causiic soda, sal soda, oils and all
the various articles known as manufacturers
supplies of the best kind and from the most
reliable houses. They have one infalhble rule
for giving satisfaction to their customers,
and that is dealing themselves with none but
first class makers, and buying none but the
best of their goods. They pay special at
tention to manufacturers supplies, and
make a decided feature of the dye stuff
trade, insuring to WOODEN manufacturers
the very best dyeing stuffs to be found in
the market. It is not necessary in dealing
with them to pay a visit of inspection and
lose m and money in analyzing their
goods, for their plan of doing business in
sures the customer who orders by mail ali
the advantages of quality and price which
the most rigid s~elf-inspection could procure.
Country traders will do themselves great
service and save much money by examining
the price list of this old established firm be-
fore purchasing elsewhere. Their reputa-
ton is too valuable to be endangered by any
excess in price or inferiority of article sup
piled to purchasers whose convenience will
not permit q personal visit.
