NOTES -OF REFERENCE.1. This so called Carbolic Acid No. 1,is really Coal-tar Creaeote, or a mixture of the

three or more homologous phenols of coal-tar, in varying proportions. It containsfrom 92 to 96 per cent, of these phenols,theremainder being the more volatile tar oilswhich are harmless. Cresol, or the so called Cresylic Acid, is generally in largestproportion, and Phenol, or the Crystalized Carbolic Acid, in next largest proportion.This mixture is better than the crystalized carbolic acid for all known uses, whetherinternal or external, and may therefore take the place of the more costly substancewith advantage. It is colorless whenrecently made,but changes, chiefly by the effectof light, through various tints of brownish red tonearly black, without becoming thickor tarry, and without material change in value or effect. All the useful portions of itare solublein about twenty-five times its volume ®f waterby active shaking together.The insoluble residue is impurity (tar oils).

2. This impure Carbolic Acid No. 2, or Coal-tar Creasotewith a larger proportion oftar oils, and less carefully distilled, is not proper for medicinal uses, but is quite goodenough for profuse use as a disinfectant,—to make the disinfectant solutions,—and thesolution for removing the green mould which grows upon stone and brick work indamp and shaded places. It is also quitegood enough formoistening the sand or saw-dust used in the spittoonsand chambervessels, or whichis daily swept over the floorsof Hospitals, Almshouses, Jails, etc. This variety is always ofa dark color, and moretarry in consistence and odor, and contains 20 to 30 per cent of oils insoluble in water.It is put up to order in larger bottles, in carboys, or in barrels.

3. This solution of Creasote or of Impure Carbolic Acid, contains from 1 to 2 percent of the mixed phenols and is put up in quart packingbottles for profuse popularuse. Each bottle bears a label with directions for some of its common uses as a disin-fectant, and for its use inburns and scalds. It has been largely used by Boards ofHealth, and will be found cheap and serviceable. Although often clear and colorlesswhen put up it soon becomes of a reddish tinge, and losing its transparency, depositsa scanty reddish sediment. Its value is however not impaired by these changes, andwhen Altered it is much nicer than before thedeposit occurred. It may be easily madefrom the Carbolic Acid No. 1, or Coal-tar Creasote by shaking this well with waterin the proportion of 2% parts to the 100 of water, and Altering the solution through adouble wet filter. ,

4. Hydrobromic Acid has been recommended as an alternate or substitute for theBromides of Potassium, Sodium and Ammonium when it is desired to avoid satura-tion by the alkaline bases of the bromides ; and the muscular debility that occasion-ally follows upon prolonged use of the bromides, not from the bromine element butfrom the alkaline bases. The solution of Hydrobromic Acid in water which is hereoffered, contains about 33.4 per cent, of bromine (Br.) and about 34 per cent, ofHydrobromic Acid (HBr.) and each grain of this acid contains the same quantityof bromine that is contained in half a grain of Bromide of Potassium. Thereforethe dose of this acid is in the proportion of two grains to each grain of Bromide ofPotassium. That is, if 20 grains of Bromide of Potassium would be the appropriatedose under given conditions, 40 grains of this acid would be the equivalent dose asfaras the bromine is concerned ; or would contain the same quantity of bromine.It should be given diluted and moderately sweetened, and if flavored withlemon ishardly distinguishable from lemonade.

5. This Concentrated Solution ofPhosphoric Acid is foundto be moreconvenient formany purposes than the officinaldiluted acid. It is just five times the strength of theofficinal acid, and is therefore to be given in one-flfth the quantity. To make the offi-cinal acid from this, one poundis diluted with four pounds of distilled water.

6. Nitrite of Amyl seems to have outlived the period of fashionable novelty, and tohave proved really serviceable in a small class of cases, such as some forms of asthma,angina pectoris,syncope, etc. It isbest administered by inhalationsimply from a bot-tle, or from five to ten drops from a piece of lint or handkerchief. It almost instantlyIncreases the action of the heart, and flushesthe face by relaxing the coats of the arte-rioles, and in this wayalmost instantly relieves such attacks as spasmodic asthma, etc.

7. This Stronger Ether is especially prepared for use as an ansesthetlc, with muchcare and pains ; and the extreme volatility which particularly adaptsit to theproductionofansesthesia. makesit verydifficult to secure for transportation, and very inflammable.Glass stoppers cannot be ground in quantity at anyreasonable cost, which will secureIt against lossby evaporation. Corks secureit best whilestanding at rest or duringitsapplication,but by theagitation of transportation, orby long standing, theybecome soshrunken and condensedas to admita considerable loss at best, while the bottle some-times reaches its destination apparently well secured, but entirelyempty. Hence whenordered in bottles, either glass stoppered or corked, it must be entirely at the risk ofthe buyer, both for leakage and breakage. A much better way of putting up—and byfhr the best that has yet been devised—is in tin cans with a stud or cap of thick tinfoil soldered over the mouth. The small diskof tin foilis easily cut out with a pen-knife when the ether is wanted for use, anda vialcork then secures it perfectly untilit is all used. Each can bearsa label withdirectionsfor opening and securing It. Thequarter and half-pound cans are intendedspecially for physicians’ use, and to save theloss and risk in dispensing. Each can contains enough for one or more administra-tions according to the skill with which It is used, and they will be found light, con-venient and as safe as such inflammableliquids can be. All the express companies,and many transportation lines refuse to carry parcels marked as containing ether, andthis soldering up in tin is the only way in which it should ever ue transported withoutbeing marked. It will never be sent in bottles except by special order, and whenspeciallyordered in bottles, and the line by which it is ordered to be sent will not re-ceive it when marked “ Ether,” it will be sent in tins.

8. This Compound Extract of Cinchona is an efficient and valuable tonic, useful inthose cases in which the fluid preparations of the Cinchonas are not well borne onaccount of their bitterness. For detailed formula and therapeutic applications seeAmer. Jour, of Pharmacy for Nov. 1867, page 514.

9. This Extract of Ergot is almost entirely soluble in cold water, and it representsgoodRye Ergot ih the proportion of one grain of extract for five grains of Ergot, Sixtygrains of *IL jstract dissolved in two hundred and flfty minims of water,—the solu-tion made up to three hundred minims by passing water through thefilterto wash it and the residue upon it,—makes a solution which represents Ergot in theproportion of minim for grain, and is of the same strength as the Fluid Extract ofErgot, but is free from Alcohol or other irritant substance. This solution is as well

adapted to the hypodermic use of Ergotas any that can be made, and is more trust-worthy than the solutions of the so-called “Ergotin.”

The medicinalapplications of Ergot have been much extended of late years throughthe researches of Brown-Sequard, Langenbeck, Hildebrandt and others, and it is nowadministeredto a new class of cases in much largerquantities and often for weeks andmonths together. While no preparation can better represent the drug than a wellmade fluid extract, yet by prolonged use this becomes very nauseous,—and sometimesso nauseous that it is desirable to have a solid extract which can be given in pill.Then, to relieve the stomach entirely for a time at least, it also becomes desirable touse the remedy hypodermically—or topically by a pledget applied to the os uteri in thetreatment of fibroid tumors. To accommodate the remedy to these various circum-stances, this solid extract, sometimescalled the Aqueous Extract of Ergot, is offered.Whether this solid extract will keep well for more than a few months cannot yet be

determined, and it should, therefore, be bought in small quantities. For mode ofpre-paration see Proceedings of Amer. Pharm. Asso. for 1874.

10. Powdered Extracts of Jalap and of Nux Vomica, with ail the care that can betaken in their preparation, are liable to run together and become more or less solid inthe bottles, and theyare sold here subject to this change. It is usually only necessaryto rub the lumps up in a mortar, as the extracts are wanted, to get them again into acoarse powder adapted to combination.

11. This Alcoholic Extract of Jalap is a better, more uniform and more economicalpreparation than the present officinalextract, and is, in great measure, independentofthe qualityof the Jalap from which it is made, since the alcoholic menstruum onlytakes the resinous portion whether thatbe more or less, whilst this resinous portionalone has any medicinal effect. This extract is just three times the strength of theofficinal extract,and therefore should beused in one-third thequantity.

12. These Fluid Extracts are not strictly officinal, because they are not made inaccordance with the officinalprocesses. The object of the processes of the Pharma-copoeia is toobtain preparations whichrepresent the drugs from which they are madein the proportion of minim for grain. Recent investigations in pharmacy appear toshow that these processes of the Pharmacopoeiado not accomplish theobject in thebestor mosteconomical way, and therefore a departure from themmay be justifiable. Andit is now believed that the preparations here offered are more in accordance with theobject of thePharmacopoeia—that is,betterrepresent the drags inproportionof minimfor grain—than any that can be made by the officinal processes. The method of re-percolation by which they are made, is publishedin the Proceedings of the AmericanPharmaceutical Association for several successive years.

By this process, and also perhaps by other processes, it is now no longer difficult tomake fluid extracts which fairly represent any drug in the proportion of minim forgrain, entirely without the use of heat. But to obtain good drugs even at high prices,from which to prepare the fluid extracts becomes more and more difficult, while thequality of the drug used is always hidden in the extract or fluid extract.

13. The Bark of Rhamnns frangula or Buckthorn has long been usedand highly es-teemed by many, as a valuable niild cathartic or aperient well adapted to some casesof habitualconstipation. It has been generally used in decoction, and those who knowit well by experiencehave hithertonot been satisfied with othermodes ofpreparation.It may, however, be very conveniently used by chewing small portions of the barkthree or four times a day; and now for the first time, a fluid extract of it is here off-ered, which it is believed may prove a very useful preparation. The Burk, coarselypowdered, is offered in the list of Powders, for making the decoction for those towhom the fluid extract may not be acceptable.

14. Thevery serviceableCompound Tinctureof Cardamon is considered by many tobe too dilute and bulky for convenient admixturewith fluid extracts, etc., as a corri-gent; and too largely composed ofalcohol for use as a carminative, or as a stomachicin those forms of dyspepsia in which it is appropriatelyused. The fluid extract hereoffered is intended to remedy these supposed defects. It is made from the officinalaromatics in the officinal proportions, but the cochineal is omitted as worse than use-less. The honeyisalso omitted. It represents the compoundpowder of the aromaticsin the proportion of about a minim for each grain, and is about twenty-flve timesstronger than the officinal Tincture.

15. This Compound Fluid Extract of Yellow Cinchona, or Calisaya Bark, is madefrom good Calisaya Bark and the officinal Aromatic Powder. Each minim representsabout one grain of good Calisaya Bark, and one-fourth ofa grain of Aromatic Powder,The dose, as a tonic, is about 10 to 15 minims, and it is best given in a little winejustbefore meals (see Amer. Journ. of Pharm. for 1867, p. 523 et seq.)

16. This Compound Fluid Extract of Red Cinchona contains the same ingredientsin the same relative proportion as the officinal Compound Tincture of Cinchona, orHuxhara’s Tincture, of the U. S. P. of IB6o,—namely, Red Cinchona Bark, BitterOrange Peel, Sorpentaria and Saffron ; and it is just ten times the strength of theCompound Tincture. The formula for itwill be found in the Amer. Journ. ofPbarm.for 1867, p. 518, only that the strengthis just doubled.

17'. This Compound Fluid Extract of Gentianis simply a concentrated form of theofficinal Compound Tincture of Gentian, being made from the same ingredients in thesame proportion and with the same menstruum ; and it is offered for reasons similarto those given in regard to the Compound Fluid Extract of Cardamon. This Com-pound Fluid Extract of Gentian represents the officinal ingredients in the proportionof abouta minim for each grain of the compound powder, and is rather more thannine times the strength of the officinal Compound Tincture of Gentian.

18. The generaldrift of experience seems to show that the Southern Prickly Ash—Xanthoxylum Oarolinianum—is preferable, for similar uses, to the officinal PricklyAsh— Xanthoxylum fraxineum,—and therefore fluid extracts ofboth are here offered.

19. This Compound Fluid Extract of Senna is merely a mixture of the senna withefficientcorrigents in a proportion large enough to correct the griping tendency of thesenna. The compound powderconsists of seventeen parts of good Alexandria Senna,two parts D’cnnei, and one part Ginger; and the fluid extract represents this com-pound powder in proportion of about a minim for each grain.

30. This Fluid Extract of Spigelia and Senna is intended to represent the officinalfluid extract of the same name, of the U. S. P. of 1860, but is made from the dry fruitof Anise and Caraway instead of the Oils, and contains but one-eighth of the propor-tion of Carbonate of Potassa, and contains no sugar. It represents the compoundpowder of Spigelia and Senna in the proportion ofabout a minim for each grain, andthe aromatics in addition to this strength,

21. Oleates. In the London Ixincet for May 25,1872, p. 709, Mr. John Marshall, F.R. 8., Professor of Surgery in University College, London, published a paper on thetreatment of persistentinflammations by the local application of solutions of Oxideof

ferenry and of Morphia, in Oleic Acid. Good abstracts of this paper may be found ine last edition (the third American)of Rinser’s Handbookof Therapeutics, p. 198,and

in Braithwaite’sRetrospect for January, 1873, p. 102. The high standingof the authorof this paper gives much weight to his statements, and upon a limited trial of Mstreatment, some surgeons in this country derived benefit in some cases. If the platsbe found to be generally applicable and effective, it will be necessary to use it withmuch care, in order to aVoid hurtful mercurialization. The facility and rapidity withwhich those oleates are absorbed from healthy skin Is something quite new in ther-

JN'otes Continued.apeutics and deserving of research, for it seems to initiate a method whichmay becalled DermicMedication, which, ifcapable ofbeing successfully extended, will be animportant addition to the applications of the materia medica. The Oleate ofMercuryhere offered contains abou six per cent, of the Yellow Oxide of Mercury, and is prob-ably strong enough for any ordinary use. An Oleate of Mercury containing temper .

cent of Oxide is also supplied upon special order. It is of the consistence of a thinjelly, when cold, but quite fluid when warmed. The Oleate of Mercury and Morphiacontains about six per cent, of the YellowOxide of Mercury, and two percent, of Mor-phia. The Oleate ofMorphia contains about five per cent, ofMorphia. In addition tothese preparations proposed by Mr. Marshall, Oleates ol Atropia, Aconitia and Quiniaare offered, and other Oleatesare in course of investigationand preparation. All theseOleates have the strength and composition stated on the label. Oleic Acid and YellowOxide of Mercury are also offered for the use oi those whoprefer to prepare the Oleatesfor themselves.

22, This Oleoresin of Male Fern is made from carefully selected peeled root, and isperhaps as good a preparation of the drug as can be made. Each minim or grain ofthe Oleoresin represents about eight grains of the peeled root, and it is therefore justeight times stronger than the drug. If one part be made up to eight parts by the ad-ditionof stronger alcohol,it will represent a well-madefluid extract, but will be foundmore convenient forgeneral use in the form of Oleoresin. In using it shouldbe wellshaken up before weighing out.

28. Compound Solution of Opium. For formulas and working processes for thispreparation, see “Amer. Joum. Pharm.” for March 1860, and January, 1870.

24. This Solution ofPhosphorus in Cod-Liver or Almond Oilcontains one per cent,of Phosphorus. It iscarefully and accurately prepared, andis put up in one ounce g. s.bottles, the vacant space in the bottle being filled with carbonic acid gas, to avoid ,oxidation by air as far as practicable until the solutionreaches the dispenser’s hands.Each vial is, for safety, put up in a wooden box. Theintention with which this Solu-tion is offered is to supply the physician with a form ofPhosphorus in solution in thebeet known solvent, for extemporaneous prescription use, where the quantity usedmay be accurately adjusted and varied tomeet the therapeutic indications of specialcases. The best way of administering this solution is by a definitedilution with cod-liver oil, as indicated on the label. Every time the bottle is opened, a drop or two ofStronger Ether should be added, without shaking.

25. This manufacturer neither makes nor deals in sugar-coated pills, nor in pillri*covered or coated with any other substance, and the pills of this list are introduced tosupply the demands of those who desire to have them without covering. The aim ofphysicians is that the pills theygive should dissolve promptly in the upper part of thealimentary canal, and an attempt is made to secure this result in the pills of thislist byavoiding all coatingand by the introduction into the various pill masses ofa sufficientproportion of glycerin to keep the pills soft.

26. Podophyllum Pills, or May-apple Pills. This pill appears now to have beensufficiently tried to warrant its introduction here. Bach pill contains one-fourth of agrain of Resin of Podophyllum, one-eighth of a grain of Alcoholic Extract of Bella-donna,half a grain ofPowdered Capsicum, one grain ofPowdered Sugar of Milk,a quar-terof a grain ofPowdered Acacia, with Glycerin and Syrup enough to form a solublepill which will not become hard. The formulaand process for making themis publishedin detail, and their prominent therapeutic applications given in the Amer. Joum. ofPharmacy lor January, 1808, at page 11. They arc rarely, if ever, well used forcathartic purposes, but arebest, if not only adapted to use as an aperient and alterativemedicine. They are particularly slow but sure in operation, and one pill every night,or every alternate night, and then at longerintervals, will often correct a habit of con-stipation.

27. This Compound Pill of Scammonyis the so-called “ Triplex Pill ” of the late Dr.John W. Francis of New York. Each pill containsone and a fifth grains each of Scam-mony, Socotrine Aloes and Mercurial Pill Mass, one-twentieth of a minim of CrotonOil, nearly one-fourth ofa minim of Oil of Caraway and a little Tincture of Aloes andMyrrh. For formula and process see ProceedingsAmer. Pharm. Asso. for 1872. p. 223.

28. POWDERS. Whendrugs are powderedor ground, it is always difficultand oftenimpossible to judge of their quality, or to judge of the knowledge and skill given tothe important process of powdering. A had drug by means of a little mixing andmanipulation, may be made to yield a very handsome powder, while a good drug, byunskillful heating and powdering, may have its medicinal virtues injured or evendestroyed. Few processes are more important to the materia medica than that oldrug powdering, and as a general rule none are in less competent hands. Physiciansand Pharmacists arenever so safe as whenthey powder theirdrugs for themselves,andthe labor and difficulty of doing this is very much overrated. To supply those who willnot adopt thisplan, a list of the more importantpowders is offered here with theassur-ance that the drugs are selected with care and attention,—-the powdering doneby goodapparatus and with skill,—and the putting up in glass or tin, while the powders aredry and fresh, is in due respect for the character of important medicines, and the cir-cumstance that they must often he long kept. The powders are also put up in glass,when desired, each bottle containing one pound being charged at 13 cents.

29. All the Powdered Cinchona Bark hereafter soldwill bear a small label, giving thepercentage of all the alkaloids together as “ total alkaloids/’ and also the percentageof the most important alkaloid—-namely, Quinia. And in the use of these powders itshould be borne in mind that 1 part Quinia is equal to IX parts of Sulphate of Quinia.

30. The Powdered Opium here offered for sale is always assayed, and the morphiaStrength of itwithin one half of one percent, is given upona smalllabel on each parcel.The average aimed at is 13.5per cent, and none is offered whichcontains less than 12.5per cent, of morphia. And by morphia is meant not “ CrudeMorphia,” nor morphiain any combination or admixture, but the true alkaloid only. It should be remem-bered that the proportion of morphia is the chief indication of value in Opium; andthat if a given powdered Opium costs $lO.OOper pound and contains 10 per cent, ofmorphia that this is equal to about fI.OO for each per cent, of morphia, and that thepercentage value increases with the cost. Therefore, if powdered Opium containing10 percent, of morphia, costs $lO.OO, a powdercontaininglSpercent, is worth $13,00,and so on.

All the Opium preparations of this list are made from powdered Opium of this kind.31. After the Russian Government abandoned their inspection and control of Rhu-

barb and their annual sales of their surplus, the old Russianor TurkeyRhubarb soon

•disappeared from the markets, and it has not been accessible for some years,althoughRhubarb at extravagant prices is still sold under the old name. The Rhubarb herequoted is intended to supply this much-needed grade or quality. This is Chinese orEast IndiaRhubarb, but is selected with care, everypiece being examined, and the im-perfect and bad portions rejected. Thus prepared, it is fully equal to the Russian.The powder and fluid extracts are made from Rhubarb of the same quality, thoughthat used for the fluid extract is the cuttings and borings, and less sightly portions.

32. Crystallized Pyrophosphate of Soda has been recently more used in medicine, formany purposes; but isapplied chiefly, perhaps, to breakup that succession of furunclesfrom which many persons suffer so frequently. Given in teaspoonful doses, dissolvedin half a tumblerful or more of water at the time of taking, and repeated two or threetimes a day it is often effective in the treatment of boils, carbuncles, etc.

38. This Compound Tincture of Cinchona, or Huxham’s Tincture, differs from theofficinal tincture of the U. S. P. of 1870, in containing Saffron in the proportion direc-ted by the U. S. P. of 1860,

34. CompoundTincture of Ipecacuanha, or a fluidform of“ Dover’sPowder.” Someyears ago it was suggested that a mixture of Compound Solution of Opium,—or olDeodorized Tincture of Opium, with Fluid Extract of Ipecacuanha in proper officinalproportions would form a good and convenient substitute for the Compound Powderof Ipecacuanha orDover’s Powder. This suggestion has been successfully adopted bysome physicians, and now that most physicians carry pocket cases of medicines for im-mediate use at the bedside, it isbelieved that such a preparation is needed. It ispre-pared by concentrating the Deodorized Tincture of Opium on a water bath, replacingthe proportion of Alcohol lost, and mixing with this the Fluid Extract of Ipecacuan-ha in such proportion thateach ten minims of the mixturerepresents one grain of Opi-um and one grain of Ipecacuanha; or, so that the mixture represents Dover’s Powderin the proportion of minim for grain.

35. This is the officinal Deodorized Tincture of Opium, but it is now depurated andmade ofuniform known strength by actual assay. It is prepared by the same processand is of the same opium or morphia strength as theCompound Solution of Opium (seenote 23), and may be substituted for that preparation when the Chloroform or AceticEther areeither or both objectionable ; or, by the addition of Compound Spirit of Ethermay be made to resemble the old Compound Solution of Opium/ It is simply a de-odorized and depurated solutionof opium, containing the officinal proportion of alco-hol, and is considered to be a material improvement upon the officinal formula.

36. Fused Nitrate of Zinc has been found, by Dr. 11. G. Piffard, of New York, andothers, to be an excellent substitute for Fused Nitrate of Silver as a caustic, andstimulant, with therapeutic advantages over ihe Silver Salt for certain uses. And itis here offered in a convenient form for more extended trial.

37. All the so-called Retort Stands, which are easily accessible are flimsy, unsubstan-tial. and much too light for Pharmaceutical uses. Therefore, one has been contrivedwhichremedies these defects, and is much more generally applicable to the processesof the chemist and pharmacist. As the upright supporting rod is near the middle ofthe stand it can he used for two or more processes at the same time. Each ring maybe adjusted to supportany vessel of ordinary size.

38. In the Proceedings of the Amer. Pharm. Asso. for 1872, p. 182, will be found adescription of a new form of glass percolator. This percolator has attracted some at-tention, but has been supplied in a very imperfect condition by the apparatus dealers.It is therefore offered here for any who may choose to try it. When packed, the boxand packing will be charged at 50 cents.

39. This is a useful and convenient modification of Bunsen's Pinchcock for control-ling the discharge of liquids through India rubber tubes. It is of lackered brass andhas but one milled head screw, by the use of which the flow can be stopped entirely,or be set to run at any desired rate from slow dropping to the fullcapacity of the tube.Threesizes are offered, the two smaller being most generally useful.

40. In the progress of therapeutic knowledge,physicians generally, even inlarge cities,are beginning to acknowledge the advantages and saving of time in the treatment ofacute conditions or stages of disease, by having the means to carryand dispense a fewof their active medicines, which are needed at the bedside and in emergencies; and thepocket cases formedicines accessible to themseemed capable of improvement. There-fore, a case is here offered, containing a minim pipette and a sheet of labels, which,it is hoped, may be an improvement. Minim Pipettes have proved to be very conve-nient, not only for the pharmacist and physician in dispensing, but also for bedsideuse in dosing medicines under the physician’s direction. Hence they are sold by phar-macists to families, and are offered here of four different sizes. The one fluidrachm,or 60 minim pipette will be found convenient for dispensing from ordinary tincturebottles.

41. Rou.ee Bandages.— ln the progress ol themedical art, it is no longer unimpor-tant as to the material, size and condition of the bandages with which wounds, inju-ries and ulcers are treated ; and the physician or surgeon cannot always command thething best adapted to his purposewithout much waste of material and time. The ex-gerience of the late war pretty definitely determined the proper material for Roller

andages, the necessary assortment of sizes for common uses, and the proportion inwhich the various sizes are required, and the following assortment may perhaps beacceptedas the result of this experience:

8 Roller Bandages, 1 inch wide by 1 yard long, I for fingers and toes, and hands5 “ lynches “ 3 yards “ ( and feet.8 “ 2 “ “3 “

“ I for forearms, arms, headand lege2 “ 2 “ “8 “

'* ( of children.3 “ 2% “ “ 3 “

“( for forearms, arms and head ol2 “ 2% “

“ 8 “ “ f adults.33“ 4 “

1 “ 3 “ “8 “ “ V for lower extremities, clavicle,1 “ 3% “ “ 5 “ “

) etc. for adults.1 “ 3X “

“ 8 “ “11 “ 4 “ ■ 6 “ “ V for the body or trunk,1 4 “8 “ “ j

81 Bandages in Box No. 1.This assortment of sizes, in very nearly the same proportion, is put up in neat, strongshouldered pasteboardboxes, containing respectively 31,60 and 120 Bandages,and des-ignated by Nos. 1, 2 and 3, the intention being to adapt the smallerboxes.Nos. 1 and 2,to the use of physicians and general practitioners, and the larger, No. 3, to the use ofsurgeons, and for hospitals, dispensaries, etc., such box being a permanent part of theoffice appliances, and the differentsizes being replaced as they are used out. To facil-itate the re-supplying of the boxes, and to accommodatepharmacists, hospitals, etc.,each size is also sold separately put up in paper parcels of 1 doz. each for the first 3sizes, and X doz. each for the remaining sizes. These parcels enable thejffiarmacistsin citieswho sell single Bandages on demand, or supply them on physicims' prescrip-tions, to keep their stock complete free from the cost of boxes. The supply in boxNo. 3 contains over 40 yards of muslin; and the time, labor and expenses of puttingup, are about equal in cost to the muslin used, and as these are not always accessiblein timeof emergency, it is considered worth while to offer such Bandages as one ofthe regular medical supplies of this list;
