Modern Unguents and SaIves.

Various elegant preparations have
superseded the coarse unguents and
salves of former times 1t would be
impossible in our limited space to
give just idea of the wonderful i'm
provements that have been made in
this branch of pharmacy. Perhaps
one of tho most notable improvements
is tho preparation of IN animal fat,
called lanolinc, which is now used rs
the basis of large number of oiut-
ments.
Unlike lard, which has generally
been employed for this purpose, it
never turns rancid; and it has the
valuable property of being readily
absorbed by the skin, and penetrating
with friction to its deeper layers;
therefore, it becomes most efficient
vehicle for conveying medicines
through the skin. When mixed with
mercury and rubbed into the pores, it
has caused the peculiar metallic taste
Of the drug to be perceptible in the
mouth three minutes after its apPlica-
tion. In its impure crude form, this
fat was known to the ancient Greeks,
and employed by them in medicine.
being extracted from tho wool of
sheep. The chemist has now purified
it, and made it one of the most useful
agents that we possess for applying
medicines to the skin. n.-Chambers's

cUTLK WAGES IN NEW ENGLAND.

of Low Prices of Prints.

OF Low Prices OF Prints.
FALL RIVER, MASS. The reason for
Che reduction Of the operatives wages
7otcd by tho Cotton Manufacturers
Association, which affected 10000 mill
hands, are the falling off of the market
price for prints to 2i, per cent off,
and the poor demand for goods even
at that figure. A reduction will also
take place in the fine goods. Payment
for tho latter is rcckoned on a little
better basis than the print cloth stand

turc of a surprise, although it was
known nt the meeting last week, Mt
which the scheme was adopted that will
virtually nullify tho effect of the

cutting down wages was talked over.
Still, it was also known that the mills
TINT have been discussing the advisa-
bility of reducing wages since last

According to the mill mems claims,
the cause of the action was the fact
that 800, 900 pieces were sold last week
