Hut None to Be Had in state
 Flaxseed poultices, commonly used in pneumonia and influenza cases can- not be had owing to the extreme shortage of the pure faxseed. Not a druggist in the oity as far as can be learned. has a single ounce of the seed and hundreds of calls a. day are made for it, as it is of great benefit in the treatment of pneumonia. Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Springfield and New York are in the same circumstances. none of the druggists or supply houses in the cities mentioned having any stock.
 One supply house in New York has on it's books 5000 orders for f1axseed without any prospect of obtaining the seed for several weeks, due to de- layed transportation. The best known substitute for faxseed is anti pl1logistine, but even the supply of this material is fast diminishing.
