RUG OUT OF sIGTH.

Some drugs have doubled in price
since the outbreak of the European
war; but recently many of those most
ordinarily used have jumped to ten
times their ordinary figure. Quinine
has gone from % cents an ounce to.
81 80 while aspirin and bromideS
have made about the same increase,
with antipyrin advancing from So to
$50 a pound. Glycerine has mor
than doubled, as the supply of crudes
entering into its manufacture has been
cut off. SIENNA leaves from India
have jumped from LIZ to 80 cents
a pound and the Egyptian product
from 8 to SO cents. In this same cat
egory are liniments and ointments
The price Of patent medicines hoWev-
er, has not been raised in accordance
with the soaring of ingredient drugs,
as it is a hard thing to bring about
an advance in the price of an article
retailed the public for a long time n
with price blown in the bottle" The
only chance for the patent medicine
manufacturers would appear to be
in dilution.
Many other drugs besides the popu-
lar types named have had just as sen.
sational rise. 1t costs too much to
get sick now, so the only sensible
thing to do is to keep we'll.
American druggists have been de-
pending upon the countries now en-
gagged in the war for IS per cent or
more of their supplies. With the sup
plies on hand running short and those
outside drug houses in this country
held by spectators, the fabulous fig
ures now reached may not be the end.
