DRUG PRICES
/ SOARING HIGH.

Since the European war began
drug prices have been making
flights like shells from a good
German howitzer." Some of
these products, are made in Am
erica. but not III sufficient quaint
ity to supply the demand, and
Others that are produced in
Europe are practically excluded
from Importation. This inform
alton. which it is good to have
the every day patron of the drug
store know about is given:
If not the majority of the
most used drugs then large
percentage have greatly advanc-
ed in price and are constant,
gong up. The shortage in tn,
market is the cause. Among the
most noticeable price increases j.
found III the case Of bromides
Sodium bromide sold some limt
ago for the insignificant sum OF
90 cents pound Today The
price is $l2.6O for the same a.
mount, an increase ~. cost oi
exactly SIP Il pound. Kesorcinol
more or less common drug, solo
before the war tor 81 cents {,
pound. The quotation on tn,
same stuff today is $40 Il pound
Salol sold then at 60 cents :,
pound and now bring SLIPS.
Tsmol was sold for ST. pound
and now cost $l44O. Alcohol
has increased in price As cents II
gallon, oil of rose that sold at So
AN ounce a short time ago l.
worth ST 5 on the present price list.
rhe most peculiar part of the
price increases is that the drug.
gists are allowed less profit AT
the price of sale than they form
erly made at the small costs.
Chloride of lime has gone to such
extreme price that wholesalers
do not quote prices on their lists.
Saffron costs SIC a pound. where
as 1t formerly sold 81 so. Blue
stone has raised from 10 cents a
pound to rs cents. Carbolic ac-
I'd has increased from 10 cents an
ounce or three ounces 25 cents,
to % cents an ounce straight.
OuinIne that did sell for rs cents
an ounce today costs $500, and
saltpetre that used to sell two
ounces tor 5 cents costs 10 cents
an ounce. Asperin tablets. those
sure murderers ot headaches,
cost % cents "a dozen now and
did sell for 10 cents. Castor oil
(the children may be interested
Ill thIs) sold some time ago at 5
cents an ounce, or ounces for
25 cents. Now the same evil de
coction sells at 4 ounces for %
cents and druggists cannot buy
more than one gallon at time,
whereas the supply WAS only
limited by the purchaser treas
ury before. The prices of propri-
tary medicines have not increase
to the purcher. but the druggist
has to pay the cost OF the war
stamps and the cost of applying
them to the packages at the fact
ory, III some instances.
AS we have said, the facts are
on the druggists side, aud the
news is of such character that
the newspapers. which reach the
druggist 5 customers, are glad to
print them when they have at.
tanned the proportions OF real
news. There is not a druggist in
the country who cannot do his
part toward the education of the
people to the true situation
through the medium OF the press
OF his home town.

GERARD TALKS TO GERMANS,
Denies That He Wanted War OF
That He Hated Germans.


Berlin.-In an interview in the Ma
tional Zeitung, James w. Gerard, Amer
lean ambassador, is quoted as saying:
In this crisis, as in all previous
crises, | attached the greatest value
to removing misunderstanding be-
tween Germany and America and did
everything in my power that a con-
fict between the two countries might
be avoided. l want no war between
Germany and America. l have never
wanted and shall never want one.
Il assure you that the accusation
that / am an enemy of Germany is
totally wrong. | have never done
anything to justify the charge that
