The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1871-02-24
A Great Establishment.

From n. z. Correspondence Evening wisconsin.
Speaking of Helmbold, reminds me
that New York has an establishment to
which his place on Broadway is as a
mole-hill to a mountain-I mean the
drug store of Caswell, Hazard & Co.,
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel building.
This firm do larger business than any
other retail druggists In the world, and
their store is one of the wondres of the
city. The store proper is 30x100 feet,
and is fitted up with solid marble floors,
counters, &C.; and its appointments were
of the most costly and elegant descrip
ton. Below this is perfect labyrinth
of laboratories extending far under the
street, where they manufacture the
chemicals, tinctures, extracts, &C., used
by them in compounding prescriptions,
and their numerous preparations of
worldwide reputation. Among these
preparations are their Ferro-phosphat-
ed Elixir of Calisaya Bark, pure Cod
Liver Oil, Juniper Tar Soap, mineral
From their wealth and enormous busi
ness, they are enabled to secure
the best articles from the best
European sources, and nothing
of an inferior quality ever enters their
establishment. Tne roses of Turkey,
the lilies of Africa, the violets of Eng
land, the gorgeous flowers of tropical
zones, all pay their tribute of richest
odors to give aroma to the powders or
the essences here prepared. They
manufacture fourteen different varieties
of cologne, all of delectable 0dors-
their Number Six being unsurpassed
for strength of aroma and durability of
action. They pay particular attention
to the compromising of descriptions Of
medicines, and have system of check
ing prescriptions, which makes mistakes
impossible. Each ingredient is check
ed, and no prescription is allowed to go
out until it has been examined by two
experts. The cases of cabinets of this
great establishment are crowded with
the rarest chemicals and purest drugs,
that can be collected, while articles of
vertu, the mineral waters of Kissinger
and Vichy, with everything entering in
any way with pharmacy, are included
in the unrivalled assortment which con-
stantly attracts the wealth and beauty
of the metropolis.
This establishment was one of the
first of the kind commenced in America,
having been founded in 1850. 1t is
now the most extensive house on the
continent, having, business connections
with every state in the Union It en-
ploys constantly between forty and
fifty frst-class chemists and other oper-
atives. The firm has two other stores
in the city, and its business is steadily
gaining, SO that its income may at
no distant day double even the enor
nous sum now shown upon its books.
Those of your readers who may come
East, and may wish te see the pharma-
ceutical wonder of New York, should
by all means visit this establishment to
which they viii be most cordially vel
omed by the gentlemanly Mr.. Hazard.
kG REMrTRNT FEvERs- The WAY TO
ESCAPE THEM.-A dose Of PLANTATION B1rTERs,
taken night and morning, will enable the sys-
tenn TO repel the deleterious influence of these
fruitful sources of epidemic disease. 1t is in
evidence that in many instances where the
greater portion Of the population Of an entire
settlement have been prostrated by bilious re-
mittent fevers, the few who have had sufficient
to take the Rttsrs as a preuentiUe
haze escaped the scourge. As & remedy after
an attack has actually commenced, this cele-
brated tonic and anti-bihous. elixir is in
vsriably efncacious. In such cases, If taken
when the fever Is OF, it viii soon control the
paroxysms, and when the patient is GONZALES
cent, viii restore the appetite and recruit
the strength more rapidly than any other
stomachic and invigorant ID use.

wheel, was caught by the neck, while |
the wheel was rapidly revolving, and
his head was literally torn from his
body. He leaves a wife and two chill !
lren.
The Boston Traveller, (which keeps
