of Houton recently found ten dollsrs, and
that he never worked harder in bis life for
client than be did to find the owner Of
that money. This fact, taken in connet ton
Nth the overw heiming defeat that the bar
of New York has been able TO bring upon

There has been quite as much progress in
pharmacy in the good old State Of Maine in
the last forty years as in almost any de-
psrtment OF business. The Portland Tran
script speaks of unique window exhibition
made by drug store in that city. showing
the methods in vogue in putting up pre-
scriptens nearly half a century ago, ~ith
the vide -mouthed bottles then in use, copies
Of the old-time PharmHcopis, together with
the ciumsy prescription scale, and mortar
and pestle used by DIR. Chas. Hay away
back in 1910. Such an exhibition helps to
show the folly of men who in these times
claim that the world is degenerating.
