Germany. In these places there are estab-
llshments devoted exclusively TO the sale
of crude drugs of all kinds, AND they re-
ceive consignments from all over the
world.
''The quantity of crude drugs that we
get here is enormous, and We buy them
carload lots. Cascara Segrada is probably
our heaviest staple, for We buy more Oh
it than any other. but to tell the exact
amount that we use In year or how
much we get in that time, would be i'm
possible from the fact that it depends on
how the market is. If ii is low we VIII
buy carload after carload, while If 1t does
not suit us we will not buy at all. This
drug comes from the northern counties or
California, Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia. 1t is bark taken from a
shrubby tree that grows in the pine for
ranges in height anywhere from bush of
a few feet to a tree OF over forty feet. The
bark is gathered by the inhabitants dur
ing the time of year that agricultural work
cannot be carried on. Quinine is another
heavy staple that we use enormous guam
titles of. but just how much is bought
would be impossible to tell for the reason
fore using The Cascara Segrada has to be
allowed to season for two years before 1t is
fit to use, and this same thing is also true
with the majority of crude drugs a.
A RESEARCH DEPARTMENT.
The latest addition to this plant is what
Is called the research department. There
is only one other laboratory Of the kind
connected with a like establishment in the
country. 1t was only few years ago that
when a new medicine was put on the mar
ket the physician had to do his own ex-
perimenting, and this was generally done on
a patient but this plan has been dispensed
with, and now when a new drug is put on
sale it has been thoroughly tested and even
the dosage has been figured out. This de-
partment is in charge of Mr.. j. f.
Woolsey, who devotes his whole time to the
investigation of various new medicines and
the planning OF medicines that are entirely
of the firms own invention. The laboratory
is fitted with all modern instruments and
appliances, which make 1t possible to do
every kind of experimental work.
The experimenting is all done upon ami
mails, and after the medicines are thus per-
fected they are tested chemically. AS Mr..
Woolsey expresses 1t: 1T used to be that
II was thought what the various medicines
would do, but now when new things are got
up it is known what they will do" The
object of this branch of work I'm an estab-
lishment of this kind is TO get business
down to a more scientific principle. All of
the scientific journals are taken and all

to certain standard, and the investiga-

work, for the drugs that are used come
from all parts of the world and 1t re-
quires very extensive knowledge.
DRUGS FROM EVERYWHERE.
A gentleman in this department. in talk
ing about the various sources from which
the drugs are gathered, said:
THE crude materials consist of seeds.
flowers, leaves and herbs, and the whole
world is represented by them. In this es-
tablishment we get the crude drugs from
all parts of the world, consequently 1t is
seen that no special climate is required to
produce drugs, and the heaviest staples
that we have come from all climates. The
difference in the drugs that we get in
Europe and those produced in this country
Is that the European drugs for the most
part are cultivated, while those in this
country grow wild. / don't want it under
stood that there are drug farms In the
United States, for there are quite a num-
Der, but. mainly, nature gives such an
abundant supply that II is not necessary to
cultivate TO any great extent. The reason
that this country affords such great nat
ural advantages is that there are large
tracts of land that are not thickly peo-
pied, while in Europe almost all of the
available country is occupied. 1t WILL how
ever, be only few years until the cuiti-
walton OF drugs is carried on TO a great ex-
particularly those near the mountainous re-
gions, where most of the drugs crude ma
terisls found in their natural state, are
becoming more thickly settled, and this, of
course, stamps out all wild natural
growths.
I'm Europe drug farming has been car
ried on extensively for number of years.
Take arnica. for instance. the tincture of
which everyone is more or less familiar
with. 1t Is identified by its being an erect
perennial herb, having its leaves growing
opposite to each other on the slender. root
like stock, and II has long, yellow flowers.
The tincture Is made from the roots,
flowers and leaves. Then there is cannibis
indica, which is narcotic extensively used
and belongs tC the genus of plants that the
nettles come from: and opium. the effect of
which everyone knows. This last is taken
from the capsules OF the unripe poppies.
IT comes from Hindustan, Persia and Tur-
key. Now all of these, together with a
large number of others, are known as
heavy staples and the demand for them
has become great that they have been
cultivated on farms devoted especially to
their raising. Cultivation, ii is known. has
greatly to do with the activity and strength
of drugs; in some instances they become
more active. while in others the medicinal
properties Will be greatly reduced. With

kHM a doctor when working with a
Xxi patient mad to depend on the

found it extremely difficult TO get along be-
cause he often had not the means or ma
terials for mixing medicines and was miles

all kinds Of simple remedies TO restore his

orally, Is great advantage to all members
OF the profession. but the doctor who prac-
tees In the country more fully realizes the
benefit derived from IL than does his city
brother. AS il is now. he carries his medi-
cines with him ready for use and his patient
will not suffer for the lack of the right kind
OF drugs. The demand for prepared medi-
cines has grown until consumers show a de-
sire to have all the drugs they use In that
FORM The members of the medical profess
sion well as the druggists have caught
the spirit of this evolution and readily see
the advantage Of it. consequently no one
questions that IL is by far the superior
means of getting the best medicine and also
those OF the purest quality.
In Indianapolis there is located one of the
largest of pharmaceutical establishments
IN the country. Indeed but one other plant
In the United States has the capacity of the
one in this city. This concern, among the

The dearth of a reading public in the
South and the failure of magazines pub
lished south Of Mason and Dixon's line to

too unprogressive in methods is undoubt-

the great Methodist said: Il was
surprised to observe, though not a
more grand, yet a far more elegant
room than any l have ever seen in
England. 1t was an Octagon bout 20
feet square and Is or 16 feet high, hav'
ing one window-the sides of it inlaid
throughout with mother Of pearl

The ceiling, sides, furniture Of the
room were equally elegant. And must
this, too, pass away like a dream?"
