The turpentine and rosin market re-
manned unchanged throughout the
market day, sharp advances being
spoken of after the close in both prod
ucts.
At the opening spirits were quoted at
51%c, with the market firm. At the
closing hour there was no change,
though there had been considerable
trading. After the closing several ex-
porters bought heavily, one paying as
high as 81 cents for the entire days

Size We're also made, and offers at this
price were refused by some. All of
these transactions were by private con-

market after the close was in l., which
was sold a 81. 90. which was rs cents off

and five grains of cocaine. When adj
ministered hypodermically cocaine is
given in one-tenth to one-half grain,
while two grains is the limit.
Arsenic, as a medicinal drug, is adj
ministered with even more care than
ones everyday knowledge of it would
seem to justify. Frequently it is call
ed to mind how an overdose of the pois-
on prevents death, and the lay idea of
it at best is that it is a mild sort of
drug. Yet a prescribed dose of one
fiftieth of a grain reads naturally to
the pharmacist, while, if the signature
calls for more than one-twelfth of a
grain, he holds the prescription out tor
Verification.
Make CarboIic Acid Weak.
Carbolfc acid is one of the best
known of all the poisons named in
this article, and yet there are few peo-
pie who know that it enters into pre-
scriptions to any appreciate extent.
AS a poison it causes perhaps the most
painful death of any drug dn the phar-
Inacoeia, burning and soaring the
mouth and aesophagus and stomach
like so much molten iron. AS it has
been so easy to reach by the suicide
in recent years, the law has hedged
its sale in Chicago in great measure.

Futures opened steady at a decline of
1 to points. Late i'm the morning
prices were 10 to II points lower than
yesterdays closing and 16 and II points
lower than the highest levels reached
in the earlier hours. The bears said
the lower prices were caused by the
continued free movement of cotton as
well as much better reports from the
country concerning the crop, but the
bulls said the decline was but a nat
ural reaction, which gave the bulls a
better chance than ever to buy. Much
rain was reported in Texas. tempera-
lures were too low in other portions of
the belt. and II was said that a hurri-
cane had visited the Atlantic coast
over night. These were bullish fea-
lures, but this appeared not to be a
day for the bulls to give the market
support. In the trading October open

NEW YORK MARKET
SHOWED REACTION

New York, Sept. 15.-The cotton mar
ket displayed a reactionary tendency,
owing chiefly to moderate liquidation
as a result of disappointment over the
non-appearance of frost in the North
western belt 1t met with good sup
port on moderate declines, however,
and ended the day with only a slight
net loss. The opening was steady with
first prices showing some irregularity,
being points lower to points high
er, following the cables, which were
better than expected. The early wealth
er reports showed no sign of the pre-
dicted frosts in Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas, but it was reported that heavy
storms had occurred in portions of the
Eastern belt accounting for the inter-
ruptions in the wire service from the
South the absence of any definite
news from this section furnished some
ground for apprehension and arrested
selling, while reports from Liverpool
that the firmness there was due to the
good trade demand and further delays
i'm shipments from this side also had
steadying influence. At first the local
market showed a tendency to work
little higher on these items and prices
soon after the opening were 3 to Z
points higher.
1heIe was hquIudlloIl, hOWeNel, anu
when the estimates for to-morrow's re-
ceipts at Houston came in showing
pretty full movement, the market cas-
ed off followed by Liverpool. After de-
clining to net loss of about II to 10
points in the middle of the afternoon,
it was rallied again by a renewal of
local bull support and was finally
steady at a net decline of only Gas
points.
Sales We're estimated at 100000 bales.
Wires to the South were working bad
ly all day and cut off business to d
considerable extent.

A popularity of carboic acid is that

Next to strychnine we get arsenic,

Delicate Scales for Strychnine.
| Strychnine as it is kept on the shelves
is in the proportion of one grain of
poison to ten grains of milk sugar. 1t
is not trusted in stock in crystals.
There are scales in the modern pharma-
cy that will register one-fortieth of a
grain, but they are not used In these
poisons One-sixteenth of a grain of
strychnine is close to the maximum
dose in a prescription, ranging down.
ward to hundredth part of grain.
1t is a drug naturally creating depres-
sion after taking, and this is so strong
in some persons that it may not be adj

Belladonna extract, or its powdered
leaves, may be used to the extent of
one-eighth to one-half grain. Oddly
enough, morphine, another poison, is
the antidote for belladonna poisoning,
while belladonna acts as an anodyne
for morphine.
Few people accustomed to hearing of
morphine as a drug appreciate just how
small a dose must be given to the per-
son who has never been accustomed to
it's use. Not more than one-twelfth
grain is given, ordinarily, while half a
grain may be considered large. Stories
are told of individuals so far habituat-
