as well it may. 1t is filled with rare chem
icals from the laboratory of Z. Merck,
Darmstadt. Germany. The house was
started in 1868, and still bears the name of
its founder. The display is valued at
$4,000. and there is hardly enough to fill q
hand-cart. One glass jar. little more than
twelve inches high. contains six pounds of
hom-atropine hydrobromate. which has a
market value of 81. 100 a pound, or Sl2, 600
for the quantity here displayed. But that
one jar contains ten times as much as there
is all together elsewhere on this continent.
A large jar of cocaine in beautiful crystals
is shown. When first made this chemical
sold at $751; AN ounce: it now sells at IS
an ounce. Here are 9l2 ounces of h~yoscya-

pure goods OF best quality. The reports are pre-
pared with great care, replete with information
md fearless In their exposure OF fraudulent prac-
ed by the present committee falls behind its
predecessor in creating profitable and interest
ing discussion.
IL is a pleasure to state that friendly relations
with our retail brethren have been widened and
strengthened by the interchange of sentiments
of mutual good will at the meetings of the yari-
Gus pharmaceutical associations throughout the
the States where such organizations exist or
where We have membership. The growing feel
ing of kinship and mutual dependence Is highly
gratifying. and should be sedulously cultivated.
The present unremunerasive profit derived
from the sale Of white lead 1 hope will receive
attention from its proper committee. II would
seem from the present policy of the manufact-
urers that IL IL their intention TO become their
own dlstrnon,G o. ,,nar s tha rs .ne ease, the
and risk now invested in this product may be
turned into more remunerative channels.
The full influence OF our organization should
be directed to obtaining a revision OF the freight
classification or drugs and cognate articles. The
tariff, as IL now stands, Is IA relic OF by-gone
days. and should be consigned TO its proper
place in ancient history with other things that
have served their day OF usefulness. Owing to
the prevailing ignorance existing in railway cir
cles as 10 the cost and amount OF risk assumed
ia transporting this variety of goods. errors OF
classification are as ridiculous as they are nu-
merous. and we shall find IL necessary to devote
considerable attention to the education OF these
gentlemen in order TO obtain an equitable
schedule.
The time and labor consumed by the commit
tee in the preparation OF the report on the drug
market Is worthy of our special thanks. They not
only contain a resume of market values during
the past year. but interesting historical informa-
ton In regard to the articles which we handle.

hope OF final success.
