WARS CAUSE HIGH PRICES
AND SCARCITY OF DRUGS

Indications are that if war does not
stop throughout the world shortly, peo-
pie in the United States will be obliged
come to be regarded as household ne
eessities. w. A. Brown, of the Eagle
Drug company, states that not only
have prices gone soaring, but many
items in everyday use that were for
nerly "a drug on the Market can
row only be obtained in small guam
titles.
A year ago carbolic acid could be
obtained in unlimited quantities at 16
cents a pound. Today it is jobbing at
S2.31, with orders limited to one pound
Clycerine, which was formerly pur.
chased in 50-pound lots, can now only
be obtained ten pounds at a time, and
the price has jumped from 23 to 70
cents. Quinine, which is considered a
staple in many sections, is now iobbing
al $3.50 an ounce, where 25 cents was
the standard for many years. Salt
petre has jumped from 10 to 90 cents
a pound, while salol has advanced from
64 cents to $l0.50 per pound. Guaiacol,
which for many years was wholesaled
at around $3.50, is now selling at 500,
and bromides show a gain in price of
about 1000 per cent, that of soda com
manding So, as against the ordinary
figure of 46 cents.
SHOULD the wars continue for another
year, it is not improbable that the
country will be compelled to go on a
Christian Science basis.
