drug items which have been used for

special meeting Of the Boston As
ISOLATION of Retail Druggists was held
last month for the purpose Of discussing
costs as relative to raw materials in the
line Of drugs, chemicals, oils, etc, which
enter into the preparations and remedies
prepared in the drug store. The follow
ing matter was given to the press after
the meeting:
gists that the cost Of raw materials
have advanced by leaps and bounds dur
ing the last 20 months. The advance
has been so rapid: however. that it is
we'll nigh impossible for any one person
to be thoroughly posted upon ,el Of
these advances.
Glycerine, for instance. which has adj
vanced approximately $50 per cent. dur
ing this time is not only sold as glycer-
inc, but enters into q multiplicity Of pre-
parations, official and otherwise and, Of
course, is a great factor in determining
the final cost of any one or number Of
preparations.
What is true Of glyceripe is also true
of all the bromides which have advanced
from 1000 to 5000 per cent. during the
last 20 months. The great number Of
preparations which the bromides enter
into. makes it necessary for the drug
trade of the country to carefully scru-
tinize costs in this line. Not only on
account Of the bromides which enter
therein, but to very many other drugs
and chemicals which are also part Of
the formula.
While cod liver oil has advanced from
$50 to 500 per barrel and is sold as cod
liver oil, it also with gum arabic and
other similar preparations enter into
emulsions which at this particular time
of the year are sold by drug stores in
very large quantities. This item also
calls for considerable scrutiny as to cost
Of the finish product.
One of the greatest things that con-
Germs the retail druggists at the present
time is reflling of family prescription
which have been favorite in particular
family for possibly 5 to 10 years. In
many cases the ingredients entered into
these preparations have advanced from
to IS times the original cost and when
the customer learns that he must pay
