We are -glad to say that we have not been mistaken in our expectations. From the -Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, -Manitoba and British Columbia we have already received congratulatory -letters as well as subscriptions, one and all virtually agreeing in the -verdict, “Just what we needed.” Appended are extracts from a few of the -letters received: - -“Allow me to congratulate you on its make up, which I consider good.” - -“Congratulate you on your first number and do not doubt your success.” - -“Very complete and well calculated to find favour with every Canadian -chemist.” - -“Congratulate you on the make up and contents of the CANADIAN DRUGGIST, -and wish you success in your enterprise.” - -“Was pleased with the first issue of your journal and found a number of -items that would be of interest and use to the druggists of this -Province; trust that you may have the success that your enterprise most -assuredly entitles you to.” - -“Find the CANADIAN DRUGGIST the most interesting paper for druggists in -the Dominion. I wish you success.” - -One of our advertisers says that within two weeks after the publication -of the first number, he had business enquiries from two druggists in -Prince Edward Island and one in British Columbia, the extreme easterly -and westerly Provinces of our Dominion, mentioning the advertisement -which appeared in the CANADIAN DRUGGIST leading to the transaction of -business with them. - - - - -INSURANCE OF DRUG STOCKS. - - -By mutual consent of all fire insurance companies (and when will they -not agree to increase their own profits by raising rates), the rate on -ordinary drug stock is higher than ordinary merchandise rates, claiming -the greater risk on the former class. That this is not the case is shown -time and again from statistics which clearly prove that although drug -stock may and does include goods which are of a particularly inflammable -nature, yet the precautions taken, the description of containers in -which these goods are kept and the usually small proportion of them in a -retail store has reduced the number of fires originating in such -premises to a very small percentage of the total fire losses. - -In Philadelphia a “Druggists’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company” has been -formed, and has issued a large number of policies. Would it not be well -for the druggists of Canada to consider the question either of concerted -action on their part to compel the insurance companies to give us more -reasonable rates, or failing in this to establish a company on somewhat -the same lines as the Philadelphia company? We append some extracts from -the Druggists’ Circular, showing the feeling which exists in the United -States in this matter: - -At the annual meeting of the Ohio Pharmaceutical Association, held in -1888, a committee was appointed to investigate the subject of mutual -fire insurance. This committee has recently made public the results of -its work from which it appears that the druggists of that State pay -pretty dearly for their insurance. It is estimated by the committee, -from all that they can learn, that druggists by protecting themselves on -the mutual plan can save from one-half to three-quarters of the money -now expended for premiums. - -There has long been an exceedingly strong suspicion in the minds of -druggists everywhere that the rates usually charged them for insurance -against fire were extravagant. When protesting against these charges -they have been confronted with pictures of the terribly dangerous -character of their stocks--how their stores were magazines of highly -inflammable substances, which by the breaking of a bottle, might in a -moment be involved in destruction. - -To show that a pharmacy is in fact a rather safe place, so far as fire -is concerned, we may quote from the report above referred to that in -Cleveland the loss to retail druggists from that cause during a period -of eighteen years amounted to only $5,500; and in Cincinnati the loss in -eight years was but $3,000. - - - - -PHARMACISTS’ AIDS. - - - There can be no doubt of the fact, that two of the most rapidly - increasing demands upon the ability of the pharmacist of to-day, - are analytical chemistry and microscopy. The former includes that - class of demands that so frequently apply to the druggist for - analysis of some special compound or even more often for an - analysis of urine. These are not limited to the “ignorant (?) - laity,” but are decidedly common requests from physicians - themselves. It has only been a few years since these subjects - became so important in the diagnosis of disease, and therefore only - the decidedly studious or recent graduate appreciates or - investigates the utility of their possibilities. Referring - especially to the matter of urine analysis, for every druggist - should be posted on analytical chemistry, we know that very few of - our best pharmacists have made any special study of this specialty - and the following is an ordinary result. The doctor, often for lack - of time, quite as often for lack of information, applies to the - pharmacist for an analysis of urine--presuming, the pharmacist - cannot do it, naturally enough the doctor goes elsewhere, but does - he ever return for any more such work? Does he ever refer anyone - else to that store for it? No--all references in this line are to - that pharmacist who is capable thereof. How many prescriptions, how - much trade is thereby lost, transferred? Just because the first - pharmacist could not do a little chemical analysis that would not - have required more than twenty minutes of his time, for which, - also, he would be paid. On the other hand, presuming, he says, - “Yes, I will analyse it for you,” the doctor not only has reason to - go there again for such work, not only refers other doctors, as - also his patients, there, but trade, prescriptions, etc., are - necessarily increased. - - We know a pharmacist who, as a result of this one department of - analytical chemistry, took in two hundred dollars for the work - itself in one year, to say nothing of the increase of trade thus - induced. In other words, we believe that a pharmacist should not - only be a druggist, but a chemist. He need not delve in the minute - depths of the subject, but there are many of its minor branches - like the one referred to--that require but little study or time, - that not only add to his business, but give a scientific touch to - his reputation that the public decidedly admire. As regards the - microscope in pharmacy, the many and increasing articles in our - different journals commending its value and use are but growing - proofs of the fact that the pharmacist of the future will and must - be a microscopist. - - Here we have another of the many minor studies, that are not only - easily learned but quite as easily applied. - - The value of a microscope is illustrated readily by the fact that - while every crystal, root, rhizome, leaf, powder, starch, etc., - have distinctive and individual peculiarities, yet very few of - these are distinguishable by the naked eye, while all are easily - resolved and can be identified by aid of a microscope and a little - experience. When we think of the fact that England, France, Germany - and other foreign countries make a business of manufacturing - especial “adulterants for the American trade” we can comprehend the - necessity of individual analysis. Of course the microscope can only - apply to a part of these things, and many pharmacists have but few - occasions to use its powers. Nevertheless if one possesses the - knowledge to detect anise in conium, or vice versa, starch, sugar, - etc., in quinine and antipyrine or powdered ipeac, to say nothing - of coffee, pepper and many more drugs that are so commonly - adulterated, he could save the price of his instrument in a - comparatively short time, and while enjoying the pleasure of this - delightful and instructive work would also know that he is - conscientious in supplying pure articles to his customers. - - It is encouraging to know that microscopy has been gaining in - importance in many of our pharmacy schools. Usually starting with - small proportions and inefficient supplies--it, as a study, - gradually works its way and proves its utility until to-day a - number of the leading colleges require the work as one of the - necessities for graduation. In many medical schools of the United - States and Europe not only is microscopy applied temporarily but - much stress is being laid on photomicrography, by which means its - valuable investigations are easily preserved. It is evident that - microscopy is one of the pharmaceutical advancements of the day. It - has rapidly pressed its needs upon the scientific part of the - profession. It is growing in demand. It is a comparatively new - field and presents grand opportunities for observation, - investigation and original work. - - As the time must surely come when a part of the pharmacist’s - armament will be a microscope and microscopy, we wish to direct - attention to the subject in the belief that those who would be - progressive may be led to investigate its value.--[N. E. Druggist. - - - - -CUTTING PRICES. - - -In connection with this subject of cutting, the following interview of -an Era reporter with Mr. Alexander Hudnut, the proprietor of the great -cut rate store of Hegeman & Co., New York, will be read with interest. -Mr. Hudnut said:-- - - The rebate plan, or any other system of artificial bolstering, is - as futile as it would be to try and dam Niagara. Legislation on the - subject is unnecessary and superfluous. The matter carries its own - death warrant with it. - - Some six years ago the drug trade got together and formed a most - beautiful plan for maintaining prices. Where is that beautiful plan - now? The rebate system is probably its legitimate offspring. Come - to me some years hence and I expect to be able to point to a string - of lineal descendants of the rebate plan, each of them as helpless - to perform what is expected as the other. The world ought to be - wise enough by this time to recognize the fixity of the laws which - govern commerce. - - I regard the principle of cutting as a settled policy in the drug - business, and I shall pursue that steadily. Hegemann & Co. have - done a business of about $325,000 annually. I expect to increase it - to half a million dollars. In London the immense stores of the Army - & Navy, and of the Civil Service have worked a revolution in the - drug trade, by buying at first hands in immense quantities, and - selling on close margin. They have even cut the rates on - prescription business. The result has been that the chemists, as - they call them there, have been compelled to come down in their - prices, and a process of elimination has steadily gone on--the weak - have had to go to the wall. The result is the “survival of the - fittest.” These conditions apply to New York, and I venture to say - that there are not over ten drug stores in the city of New York - that are making their owners more than a living. With the rest it - is simply a process of more or less rapid rusting out. - -An absence of cut prices, and general prosperity marks the retail drug -trade of Cleveland. The Cleveland Pharmaceutical Association is clannish -and its dues are so moderate that almost the entire trade is within the -Association. This gives rise to a brotherly feeling which makes doing -business a pleasure; and prevents cuts and insures prosperity. The drug -trade in many cities suffers from wholesale slashing of prices from the -lack of such an Association as exists in Cleveland. The Association is -thoroughly organized, and the two wholesale houses in Cleveland do -everything in their power to help the retail trade along, and decline to -sell at retail in - - -OPIUM. - - -In Opium the reduced estimates of the probable yield from the current -crop, coupled with advices of higher prices in London and the primary -market, have caused a much firmer feeling here. The bulk of the spot -supply is controlled by three dealers who it is said are working in -harmony to raise prices, in which effort they have already made -considerable progress, it would appear, since at the close there was -very little standardized to be had at $3.10, the general quotation being -$3.15. Natural was held at $3.20 to $3.50. While there were no large -buyers in the market, the demand for single cases and broken lots was -very good. Powdered has advanced to $4.20 to $4.30 as to seller and -test. We have received the following from Smyrna under date of July -13th: “There is no longer doubt that if the yield of 5,000 baskets is to -be reached by the new crop (including the 1,250 baskets from Salonica) -the fields on the high grounds must yield much more than the lower -fields have shown up to the present moment--arrivals of 117 baskets -against 570 in 1888, which certainly is a poor showing. It is true that -in Constantinople, where they got the opium from the districts where the -gathering was made in advance of the others this season, they had -received 45 baskets against 125 last year, which is somewhat better than -we can show, but is still awfully poor. Holders are very sanguine and -will not sell their goods unless they get higher prices, and as they now -have increased facilities for depositing their goods with banks at -reasonable rates of interest, it is most probable that buyers will have -to accept their terms. The stocks abroad were large, but as they have -been kept all along at lower rates than what opium could be bought at in -the primary markets, they have gradually melted down to reasonable -quantities. London has hardly 1,000 cases, the greater part of which is -Persian and high grade Turkish, not suitable for the American market. -New York has about 500 cases which could be called ‘in the market.’ The -balance is held by outsiders who would not part with their opium unless -they get much higher prices for it. But all this is a matter of little -consideration to the native merchant in Turkey; he holds on to his opium -when he sees a small crop, and buyers will have either to live on the -European and New York stocks or pay them something better than the -starving prices they paid for the last few years.” Since this was -written, some cables advise crop estimates reduced to 4,500 baskets -(including Salonica), and prices in Smyrna from 9s. 3d. to 9s. 9d. - - - - -ADVANTAGES OF TRADE JOURNALS. - - -Trade journals have become an established institution, and the fact that -they have come to stay cannot longer be doubted. Their advantage, to -both the buyer as well as the seller, is manifested every day in the -change which has been wrought in the present manner of transacting -business. A few years ago, before these journals were established, if a -party desired to purchase a certain line of goods, the first thing he -would do would be to supply himself with the necessary funds, pack up -his grip and start out upon a tour of observation and inspection; and -after traveling over a large amount of territory and spending -considerable money, would finally succeed in finding the goods sought -for. The manufacturer who was desirous of introducing to the public any -new line of goods, was obliged to resort to the slow, expensive and -uncertain method of mailing out printed circulars, at the rate of ten -dollars per thousand for postage, besides the expense of printing, -folding and directing them; and perhaps eight out of every ten thus sent -out, if received at all by the parties to whom directed, would find -their way to the waste-paper basket without ever being opened. It being -impossible to reach every one by this method, the chances for striking -one who might be in want of the article named therein was often not one -in five hundred, while perhaps a hundred others might be omitted who -might be in want of it. - -Advertising in a general way in the papers of the day was not a -profitable investment. Those papers having a very large circulation, -such as the “Scientific American,” the “Iron Age,” and others which -might be named, were valuable papers and probably were the best mediums -at that time; but their circulation, although very large, was general, -and while the advertiser was charged for the space occupied at a rate -based upon a circulation of 40,000 or 50,000 copies, yet in many -instances but very few of the trades interested and to whom it was -desirable to introduce the goods, were ever reached. For instance, the -“Iron Age” circulated principally among hardware and iron dealers, who -formed a considerable portion of its circulation, very few of whom had -any interest whatever in saw-mill or planing-mill machinery, and so on -with all other trades, and as before stated, while they were paying -exorbitant rates for advertising based upon the large circulation of -those journals, they were really deriving less benefit from it than they -would have received from a medium of one-quarter the circulation, but -devoted exclusively to this particular trade and circulated exclusively -among them. - -Every trade is now represented by a journal devoted to that trade -exclusively, and a purchaser now, instead of spending large sums of -money and much valuable time in roaming over the country in search of -any particular line of goods, may sit down quietly in one corner of his -office and consult his trade paper, in which he will find the goods of -the most prominent and reliable manufacturers carefully described and -fully illustrated by fine, artistic cuts, so that all that is required -is to write to some of those houses, who will cheerfully answer all -inquiries, or in most cases, send their travelling man, who will come -prepared to give them all further information that may be required, and -their purchases may be made then and there to just as good advantage as -if they had spent $100 in travelling expenses, in order to visit the -same house in person. If any house is neglected by not being represented -in its own trade paper, it is its misfortune in not being represented, -and not the fault of the journal. - -Another change has been brought about, and one that trade journals have -had more or less to do with: There is a different class of travelling -men representing these houses at the present time from what there was a -few years ago. Since buyers have abandoned the plan of visiting these -houses in person prominent manufacturers have found it for their own -interest to employ none but sober, competent and reliable men to -represent them--men who are well posted in the business and who are -competent to give intelligent and reliable information with regard to -the goods which they represent, and the result is that the public has -more confidence and is more ready to deal with them than formerly, while -the “bums” that formerly represented, or misrepresented, these houses -have disappeared from the road. Manufacturers find it to their advantage -to have their goods thus represented in these journals, for the reason -that while the rates are much lower than would be obtained in the former -mediums, they are sure every copy that is sent out from the office of -publication, whether the circulation be 1,000 or 10,000 per issue, will -be sure to fall into the hands of some one who is interested in their -particular line of goods. - -The public has been benefited by trade journals in another manner which -can not be omitted. Almost every journal representing any particular -trade has secured the services of experienced and practical writers, -who, from long experience in this particular line, have become experts -in the business, and from whom much valuable information may be obtained -by those who have not had the same experience and advantages. Many young -men just starting out in life, either as proprietors or foremen in the -various trades, have received many valuable hints from these sources, -which have been of much benefit to them, and which might have required -years of experience before they could have acquired the same -information. And for this and other reasons which have been given, what -was said at the commencement of this article may be repeated, viz., that -the trade journals have come to stay. - -No druggist can afford to do without his drug journal. Through the -columns of the CANADIAN DRUGGIST he may keep himself posted on new -remedies, approved appliances, fresh developments in the pharmaceutical -and chemical worlds; he can, at a glance, note the fluctuations in -prices of goods, and by careful perusal of the advertising columns (not -by any means the least important part of the trade journal) will keep -track of all specialties offered by our advertisers. Our advice is, Read -your trade paper regularly, and support it liberally. - - - - -DIGNITY IN BUSINESS. - - -It is not a good plan to descend to sensationalism in the methods of -conducting business. True enterprise is as far removed from the -rowdy-dowdy style of procedure as is day from night. All men are not -coarse and ignorant in their perceptions, and no business communication -or business announcement should be sent forth that is not gentlemanly -and delicate in both diction and sense. A contrary course will soon -convince its author that he is making a great mistake in stooping to -vulgarity and the small and unrefined side of men’s natures. - -It is all very well to make a little noise occasionally, in order to -stir up languishing trade. The more noise the better, in fact, provided -it is only the right kind of noise, and not the discordant braying of -commercial fish-horns. A red-hot campaign now and then is the best thing -out, but it must be managed with skill and tact. - -The most successful merchants of to-day recognize the fact that it does -not pay to abuse competitors. If one’s competitors are dishonorable and -tricky the public will find it out in the long run, whereas if they are -straightforward and progressive, no amount of slander will hurt them. -Praise your own wares truthfully and fearlessly, and let your neighbor’s -alone--that is the best way. Brag and bluster may do for a season, but -they don’t wear. - -When a merchant advertises in the newspapers he is in great danger of -saying too much--or rather, of clothing what he does say in the wrong -terms. Slang should be avoided always. Never appeal to the passions and -prejudices of your patrons. Most men nowadays happily think with their -intellects. It is an error to suppose that we can either interest or -instruct people by first assuring them that they are all but hopelessly -ignorant. Human nature may be weak, but it is strong enough to resent -such offensive presumption. The public knows more than many a merchant -is willing to give it credit for. - -In sending out trade letters and circulars it is not only unwise but -positively ruinous to assume an undignified and vulgar tone. Nothing -shows the ass in the lion’s skin so quickly. It should always be borne -in mind by the merchant or business man of whatever line that culture -and good breeding are appreciated even by the unlettered, and that is -asking favors--which every business man in some form or other does of -his patrons--the language of the gutter is not the proper means of -expression to employ. All business transactions should be dignified. - - - - -Smith & McGlashan Co, - -[LIMITED] - -WHOLESALE DEALERS IN - -DRUGGISTS’ SPECIALTIES - -Sundries and Fancy Goods - - Agents for E. B.

When people buy at auctions, if they are well posted in -values, they rarely bid above half the value of the goods and if the -quantities are large they are not content unless they obtain decided -bargains. At the Lowden-Paton sale plush goods were sold in large -quantities at prices that would scarcely pay for the fittings, while -rubber goods and extracts simply brought no value at all. This sale is -but another reminder of the fact that a stock and business are not in -themselves of any more value than they will bring under the hammer, but -are merely means to an end--an annual income. When taking stock this -fact should not be forgotten and a liberal discount should always be -made on fixtures and such goods as are considered poor or dead stock. - - * * * * * - -The wise druggist: “Well, sonny, what is it?” asked the drug clerk, -peering over the counter at the 3-feet mite of humanity. “Mamma sent me -to get a piece of soap--cast-iron, I think she said.” “We don’t keep any -summer hotel soap here,” returned the clerk; “you must have mistaken the -metal.

Clark, Hamilton; -Mr. J. E. D’Avignon, Windsor; John J. Hall, Woodstock; G. S. Hobart, -Kingston; Andrew Jeffrey, Toronto; L. T. Lawrence, London; John McKee, -Peterboro’; J. H. Mackenzie, Toronto; C. H. McGregor, Brantford; A. B. -Petrie, Guelph; J. W. Slaven, Orillia, and Henry Watters, Ottawa. - -On the motion of Mr. John McKee, seconded by Mr. Andrew Jeffrey, the -President, Mr. John A. Clark, Hamilton, was appointed Chairman. - -The Chairman called upon Mr. Isaac T. Lewis who read the result of the -election of members to the council and the number of ballots cast for -each and the same was approved. - -President Clark said that when he undertook the duties of president two -years ago, he realized that it would be a task of considerable -difficulty to discharge the duties to the satisfaction of the members of -the Board. He hoped the meeting would not be characterised by any -unpleasant feeling such as had been manifested in the late Council. - -Nominations for Vice-President having been declared in order, Mr. J. E -D’Avignon moved the appointment of Mr. W. B. Saunders, and Mr. C. H. -McGregor moved Mr. J. Hall. Mr. Hall was elected, only one ballot being -cast for Mr. Saunders who was not present. - -The Vice-President, in the course of a brief speech, expressed the -reluctance he felt in opposing Mr. Hall. He would reserve his reasons -for doing so until Mr. Saunders was present. It was necessary in giving -effect to the new act that men who held office before should be -identified with the Council. He would do his best to secure for the -college any of the benefits obtained from the act. - -On the motion of Mr. J. H. Mackenzie, seconded by Mr. L. T. Lawrence, -Mr. Isaac T. Lewis was re-elected Treasurer and Registrar for the next -two years. - -The Chairman stated that the auditor, Mr. Daniels was away in England, -and that it would be necessary to appoint another for the unexpired -term. On the motion of Mr. J. H. Mackenzie, seconded by Mr. J. McKee, -Mr. W. A. Hargreaves appointed for the unexpired term. - -Mr. H. Watters, seconded by Mr. John McKee, moved that a committee -consisting of Messrs Slaven, Hall, Jeffrey and the mover and seconder be -appointed to strike standing committees. - -Mr. C. H. McGregor, seconded by Mr. J. J. Hall, moved as an amendment -that Messrs. Hobart, Watters, Petrie, Mackenzie and McGregor receive the -appointment. The amendment was lost by eight votes to four. - -Mr. D’Avignon moved the adoption of the minutes as printed in the -Pharmaceutical Journal for February. - -The Chairman--I object to that, as part of them recorded there not true. -I refer to page 117 of the journal where it says: “The President rose to -a question of privilege referred to some statements made in the World -with regard to his connection with the Pearen matter.” I object to the -manner in which that is put in. - -Mr. Lewis, Registrar, at the President’s request, read the minutes as -recorded in the minute book as follows: - - “The President arose to speak on a matter of privilege, and - explained to the council the action he had taken in the matter of - the attempt at alteration of the Register of Apprentices by J. M. - Pearen, and read to the Council the letter in the World of February - 8th, and claimed the statements therein were not in accord with the - facts, and he thought it was due to him that the Council should not - allow them to be uncontradicted.” - -Mr. Davidson--Then I infer that the report in the Journal with that -exception is correct? - -The Chairman--As far as I know. - -Mr. D’Avignon, seconded by Mr. Watters, moved that the minutes of last -meeting of the Council be accepted as read, the inference being that -they were read from the minutes and not from the Journal. - -This was agreed to unanimously. - -The Committee on Standing Committees reported as follows:-- - -Executive and Finance--Mackenzie, Petrie, Slaven, Hall, Hobart. - -Education--Jeffrey, D’Avignon, Watters, Petrie, Slaven. - -By-laws and Legislation--Hall, Hobart, D’Avignon, McKee, Lawrence. - -Infringements--Mackenzie, Watters, Hobart, Lawrence and Saunders. - -Mr. Mackenzie thought the whole Council should act on such an important -branch as the Infringement Committee, but Mr. Watters pointed out that -this was contrary to the constitution, which limited the number to five. - -Mr. Hall and Mr. Hobart seemed to favour the amendment of Mr. Mackenzie, -stating that it was difficult to cover the districts in any other way -without the appointment of a private prosecutor or detective. - -Mr. Jeffrey thought the Council should not undertake such work. - -The President sustained the by-law, and ruled Mr. Mackenzie’s motion out -of order. - -On the motion of Mr. Watters, seconded by Mr. Hall, the motion to -approve of the committees was carried unanimously. - -The council then heard communications, accounts, notices of motion, -educational committee’s report, special committee’s report, regulations -for examiners and applications from apprentices, after which they -adjourned till Wednesday, at 10 o’clock, a.m., the business of -considering the reports being referred to the various committees. - -Wednesday Morning. - -The Council met at 10 o’clock, President John A. Clark in the chair. - -The Chairman read some correspondence he had with Mr. E. R. Beckwith, -Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy, at Petersburg, Virginia. He -(the Chairman) remarked that there had been a difference of opinion in -the Council regarding the Pharmacy laws. The desire of the writer was -that those who passed the examinations before competent Boards could -pass into and practise in any other State without re-examination, and -that the certificate of the Secretary should suffice. Seventy-five per -cent of marks were suggested as requisite. It was proposed to call a -convention of State delegates to arrange the matter, and that the vote -of two-thirds of those so assembled should be sufficient to give power -to act. He (the Chairman) wrote Mr. Beckwith on June 13, giving him the -names of colleges with whom the Ontario College interchanged -certificates, namely: the Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Massachusetts -and California Colleges, and with the Board of Pharmacy of the City and -County of New York. As regards the scheme of interchange so far, the -States reported as follows: Delaware considered unadvisable; Tennessee, -yes; Nebraska does not favor; Pennsylvania, undesirable; North Carolina, -yes; Michigan and Minnesota, yes. - -Mr. A. B. Petrie said that in many of the State Boards four or five men -met together and granted diplomas, while many of the colleges were -private enterprises. While the Ontario College was desirous to raise -the standard, a step of this kind might be injurious if not dangerous. - -Mr. G. S. Hobart thought it would prove a benefit to go into the -arrangement as more young men crossed into the United States to practise -than came from the United States to this country. - -On the motion of Mr. Andrew Jeffrey, seconded by Mr. H. Watters, the -following resolution was put and carried: - -“That the communication of E. B. Beckwith, of Petersburg, Virginia, -referring to the holding of a convention of State and other Boards of -Pharmacy, be received, and the President of the Council be instructed to -watch the proceedings, and if he deems it in the interest of the College -he is hereby empowered to attend such convention.” - -Mr. Lewis read the Registrar and Treasurer’s report as follows:-- - - “I beg to report that since 1st February, 1889, the following - medical practitioners have taken out registration:--Wm. Spencer - Harrison, Brantford; James Switzer Freeborn, Lionshead; R. G. - Montgomery, Forest River, Dakota; W. B. Nisbet, Angus; Alexander M. - McFaul, Staynor; Richard Allan Clark, Ridgetown; D. C. Leitch, - Dutton; George Veitch, Linwood; Declan E. Foley, Westport; John - Cuthbertson Choffut, Keene; Francis Rorke, London; James McDiarmid, - Hensall; Richard R. Hopkins, Grand Valley; Michael Jos. Keene, - Brantford; Francois Xavier Balade, Ottawa; Wm. Alexander Munns, - Thetford; Duncan McEdward, Thetford; Geo. Johnston Dickson, - Desboro’. - - “The number of applications for registration has been 123, a small - number of whom have been registered, the balance being kept in - abeyance for the Council to deal with. The numbers of renewals - issued since February 1st, 1889, were as follows: 1 for 1886, 3 for - 1887, 54 for 1888, and 551 for 1889, total 609. The register showed - the members in arrears, 86 for 1888, 200 for 1889, as near as I can - judge. The statement of receipts and disbursements showed balance - on hand at the beginning of the year to have been $5,095.94; - receipts, $3,865.23; disbursements, $5,546.81.” - -On the motion of Mr. John McKee, seconded by Mr. J. H. Mackenzie, the -reports were received and referred to the Executive Committee. - -On the motion of Mr. J. E. D’Avignon, seconded by Mr. H. Watters, a -committee, consisting of Messrs. Jeffrey and Mackenzie, were instructed -to take an inventory of the books and other belongings of the club, with -a view to insurance, which the Chairman remarked should be done without -delay. - -On the motion of Mr. J. J. Hall, seconded by Mr. A. B. Petrie, the -Registrar was instructed to have a circular addressed to each man doing -business in the Province as a pharmaceutical chemist, inviting him to -comply with clause 10, sub-section 1 of section 31, being the recent -amendment to the Pharmacy Act passed March last. - -Several members thought copies of the whole Act should be sent. - -The resolution was passed. - -The Chairman suggested that a solicitor should be consulted in the case -of E. M. Pearen who had been asked to be present that day at eleven, but -did not appear. - -Mr. D’Avignon alleged that the charge against Mr. Pearen was alleged -forgery, and if that was so, that he should be prosecuted. The fact that -the register of apprentices had been altered would interfere with their -proper registration as druggists afterwards. - -Mr. H. Watters--The question is, can we prove it? - -The chairman said he concurred with Mr. D’Avignon when he said that a -lawyer should be consulted. - -Mr Lewis was reluctant to tell the Council the exact facts, but said he -would inform a lawyer of the whole matter. He felt more annoyed that he -had been beaten, so to speak, by Mr. Pearen than from any other cause. - -On the motion of Mr. H. Watters, seconded by Mr. J. E. D’Avignon, the -mover, with Messrs. Petrie and Lewis, were appointed to consult a -solicitor and report. - -Mr. J. M. McKee moved, and J. W. Slaven seconded the following -resolution:-- - - “That whereas the report of the Registrar-treasurer of February 16, - 1889, shows that the fees from students of this college for the - past year have been $5,756, of which sum $4,378 by this statement - is due to the professors, and only $1,378 retained by the College, - according to agreement (See Sept. Journal, p. 23), which agreement - we recommended be cancelled, and the Professors forthwith be - notified by Registrar accordingly in view of the rapidly increasing - revenue from students and the large amount of money paid out to the - Professors, we believe we are warranted in readjusting the salaries - so that each of the Professors be paid by the Executive of this - College a definite sum according to work performed. Therefore, be - it resolved, that the Educational, the Executive, and the Finance - Committees do at once confer with the Principal and teaching staff, - and endeavour to make satisfactory arrangements with regard to the - same. Failing to meet this, or arrive at a satisfactory agreement, - that they be further empowered to report as soon as possible upon - some plan whereby such an arrangement can be effected.” - -The mover pointed out that when the school first commenced the amount -received by the teachers was only $108. It had been gradually -increasing, and although not doubting the ability of the teachers he -thought each one only had a right to be paid for what he did. He did not -know, however, where they could find another college making so much -profit. Last year there had been a profit of $1,388, which the -matriculation fees had brought up to $1,600. It was a question whether -they could do so with reduced salaries. A cheaper staff might spread an -influence against the college. - -Mr. A. B. Petrie said that in Philadelphia the scholars were certainly -attracted by the prestige of the professors, but in Canada they were -obliged to come to the college in any case. - -Mr. J. E. D’Avignon pointed out that no one was obliged to come until -after the Act had been passed this year. - -Mr. J. W. Slaven pointed out that the institution was now $14,000 in -debt. - -The resolution was carried and the Council adjourned at noon. - - -Wednesday Afternoon. - -The Council met at 3.25, Mr. John A. Clark in the chair. - -Mr. Watters reported that along with Mr. Petrie he had been to the -office of Messrs. Edgar & Malone, barristers, and saw the former -regarding the case of Mr. Pearen. Mr. Edgar thought the correction made -in the books was necessary in the interests of the young men. - -Mr. Watters, therefore, seconded by Mr. Petrie, moved the following -resolution: - - “Mr. Pearen not having complied with the request of this Council to - appear before the Board to explain the irregularities with which - his name has been associated, acting on legal advice it is deemed - unadvisable to take any further action in the matter, and it is - hereby resolved that no further action be taken.” - -A communication from Messrs. Edgar and Malone, barristers, was filed -along with the resolution stating that in the action of Mr. Pearen, in -regard to the apprenticeship of Mr. John A. Dunbar, there was no -evidence to sustain an action against him under the Pharmacy Act, and -further, that such being the case, no action could be taken under -Section 20, looking to have his name erased from the register, and that -the firm thought it unwise to press matters against Mr. Pearen. - -The resolution was carried. - -Mr. A. D. Weeks, chemist, Uxbridge, handed in a letter and an -application on behalf of Mr. T. C. Nicholls, B.A., Uxbridge, claiming -clemency of the O.C.P. The Chairman, after Mr. Weeks had been heard, -told him that as was usual in such cases, the application would be -considered by a committee. - -An application from John J. Watson, for time served in Hazelton was then -lodged and also remitted to the committee. - -The following notice of motion was made: Moved by Mr. John J. Hall, -seconded by Mr. L. T. Lawrence,-- - - “That the mover hereby gives notice of motion that he will be at - the next semiannual meeting, bring in a by-law to carry out the - provisions of sub-section 3 of section 1 of the amendments in the - Pharmacy Act, passed March, 1887, providing for the holding of the - elections to this Council by districts, and to amend No. 10 in - accordance therewith.” - -Mr. Slaven moved, and Mr. McKenzie seconded,-- - - “That the reports of the Executive and Finance Committees be - adopted. Accounts amounting to $56.35 were passed for payment.” - -H. W. Watters moved, Wm. Lawrence seconded, the following resolution:-- - -(_Continued on page 10_) - - - - -SHOP-WINDOW CURES. - - -“If drugs and physic could but save us mortals from the dreary grave,” -the Registrar-General’s return of mortality would be reduced to _nil_. -For, in addition to the swarms of doctors, male and female, in London, -licensed to kill or cure, a vaunted remedy for almost every disease -flesh is heir to may be bought in nearly every street. Addison said of -doctors:--“This body of men may be described like the British army in -Cæsar’s time. Some of them slay in chariots and some on foot. If the -infantry do less execution than the charioteers, it is because they -cannot be carried so soon into all the quarters of the town and despatch -so much business in so short a time.” - -But in our days the vendors of “certain cures” do their business much -more easily by staying at home and allowing customers to come to them. -They do not even trouble to emulate Cotgrave’s poor doctor of physic, -Pulsefeel, who was accustomed to harangue the public that he could -“clarifie your blood, surfle your cheeks, perfume your skin, tinct your -hair, enliven your eye, and heighten your appetite.” Doubtless vendors -of medicines, patent or not patented, find it a profitable business. For -one of the characteristics of the true-born Briton is an innate love of -physic. Often the most nauseous is esteemed the best, although it may be -admitted that the taste for nasty medicine is rather dying out. “To -quack of universal cures” has ever been a facile path to public -approbation and fortune. Brown wrote:--“Saltimbancoes, quacksalvers, and -charlatans deceive the vulgar;” and Burton said, “Many poor country -vicars, for want of means, are driven to their shifts to turn -mountebanks, quacksalvers and empyricks.” Civilization and progress, -instead of leading to a diminution of medicines not recognized in the -Pharmacopœia of the Royal College of Physicians, has resulted in an -opposite effect. For a number of maladies, or, perhaps, it should be -said, names of maladies, have been called into existence unknown to our -sturdy forefathers. For instance, we have half-a-dozen new designations -for what our great grandmothers would have called a “fit of the spleen.” -And for every new name which is devised by the ingenuity of nosologists -at least half-a-dozen remedies appear with mushroom rapidity. Even the -medical journals teem with advertisements of so-called remedies not -admitted into the Pharmacopœia. Bromidia, “the hynotic which does not -lock up the secretions;” elixir of cascara, “laxative, palatable, -reliable;” pumiline, “for bronchitis, throat and chest affections, fully -recognized by over 500 testimonials;” vinolia, “which will relieve the -intensest itching from any cause whatever;” liquor cascara suavis, -“registered,” are a few among many similar articles advertised in a -recent medical journal. Now when orthodox medical journals insert -advertisements of the kind they might with grace refrain from, as they -sometimes do, calling the lay press to account for the insertion of -advertisements of patent medicines. For to the lay mind there really -does not appear very much difference between the advertisement of -medicated bonbons, “protected by Royal letters patent,” in a medical -journal, and advertisements of a like character in a daily newspaper. - -It is, however, of shop-window cures we now discourse. So profitable -does this branch of business seem to have become, that it has overflowed -its legitimate position in the chemist’s and druggist’s mart, and -invaded the premises of other tradespeople. Every vendor of sweets, and -many grocers, seems to find it profitable to have a special medical -agent for sale. In a climate such as this, where coughs, colds, throat -and chest affections so prevail, all who sell anything in the way of -medicines have certain cures for such prevalent maladies. The number of -so-called remedies is legion, and consists of pills, syrups, emulsions, -mixtures, tinctures, lotions and potions _ad nauseam_. But there is one -called “cough balsam,” unblushingly described as the “only known cure -for cough, asthma and consumption.” Now as cough may depend upon at -least fifty different causes, and as consumption kills thousands -annually, this must be a very wonderful medicine indeed, and doctors -should hide their diminished heads. It is really very stupid of people -to go on coughing when they can precure a remedy for a few pence; and -quite unnecessary for asthmatics or consumptives to go to the Riviera in -the winter when they have a remedy at home. So say the vendors of chest -affection cures. The giver of good advice rarely receives his due, -otherwise we might say “Don’t” to anyone disposed to trust these cures. - -Corns and bunions demand a good deal of attention. There are many kinds -of corn plasters and several “miraculous cures,” which are all -“painless, simple and speedy,” and which secure “ease, comfort and good -temper.” One proprietor of a miraculous cure is so enthusiastic that he -breaks out into doggerel-- - - If corn or bunion trouble you, of this you may be sure, - That free from pain you soon will be by using ----’s cure. - -After this the man who merely advertises a corn rubber is nowhere. We -were, however, under the impression that corns originated from pressure -or friction, and that the only radical cure was removing that pressure -or friction after the corn, if very large, had been taken out. -Toothache, being so common, has, of course, a number of cures. A -sufferer would dare a good deal to appease the hideous throes of -toothache, and when plaintively asked, “Why sutler from toothache when -you can cure it by using the toothache pencil?” would certainly try -this, that or the other remedy before facing the dentist. But, alas! -the dentist’s chair is the ultimate fate of the person with an aching -tooth, and he may be happy if on leaving the dentist he carries his -tooth--in his jaw--along with him. Nervous debility seems almost as -responsible as toothache or corns for certain cures. Among the hundreds -o’ medicines devoted to nervous debility there are “best brain tonics,” -“botanic pick-me-ups,” “golden medical discoveries,” “damiana wafers,” -and “syrups” of all kinds. Liver complaints and digestive imperfections -are also well supplied. “Candies” and “jujubes,” _cum multis aliis_, are -all very good for liver and digestion--at least so say the proprietors. -There is one advertiser who, having announced, “Remove the cause and the -effect will cease,” soars boldly above his compeers, and announces, -“Head, stomach and liver pills!” It is, however, in the domains of -surgery that shop-window cures are most pronounced. “Another leg saved!” -“Another hand saved!” “Another toe saved!” by a certain ointment and -pills is boldly announced. If all is correctly stated with reference to -this new ointment and pills, Professor Holloway is outdone. Cancers are -exhibited, diseased bone is shown, and corns are produced, all cured by -this wonderful ointment. Bills are also distributed purporting to be the -history of cures. One begins, “A boy threw a stone and hit him on the -finger over six years ago.” The remainder of the account may be -transferred into, “Affliction sore long time he bore, physicians were in -vain,” until he was cured by the pills and ointment. Now this was -evidently a case of scrofulous disease of the bones, always most -tedious, and recovery _post_ is not _propter_. We close the list by -mentioning first “Oriental pills.” Why they are called Oriental pills we -do not know, and what they are for we cannot ascertain. The name is -curious, for pills in the East, unless introduced by Europeans, are as -rare as snakes in Iceland. And, secondly, a cure for chilblains called -“Chimethloplastron!” What it means we do not know. And we do not take to -it--for the word does not come trippingly from the tongue like the -blessed Mesopotamia. - -It has been said that faith in the doctor is half the battle. -Shop-window cures, however, require more than faith; they demand -credulity. Nothing catches a man more than a pretended confidence; and -of this among vendors of medicines, patent or not patented, there is no -lack. It is astonishing how one is able to persuade oneself into a -belief in accordance with one’s wishes. Barnum’s definition of a humbug -was, “A man who gives you your money’s worth, but induces you to deal -with him by some plausible tale connected with his goods.” Shakespeare -asked, “Can’st thou not cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff -which bears upon the heart?” This is not to be done by nostrums, and -not always by doctors. Notwithstanding the vigorous declarations of -vendors of nostrums, they do not appear quite sure of themselves. For -the names of eminent medical men are freely used--among others, those of -Brodie, Blundell, Jenner, Clark. This recalls to mind an anecdote of the -Duke of Wellington and Dr. Locock.

D. Martin, of -Ottawa, will long enjoy a successful business in the new premises he has -just removed to at the corner of Rideau and Cumberland Streets. - -Mr. Martin is one of Ottawa’s most enterprising and successful druggists -and in the fitting up of his new store he has displayed great taste. - -The front store is 50×30 and has two entrances and is lighted by three -large plate-glass windows; the ceiling is of polished wood, the floor of -granolithic tiles of mosaic pattern; the fixtures are walnut; the -counters, two in number, each eighteen feet long, are embellished with -show cases, and the handsome show cases on tables occupy positions in -the centre of the store. At the further end of the store standing in the -centre of an arch ten feet wide is a very fine dispensing case behind -which is the dispensing room fitted up with two sets of dispensing -scales and in duplicate all the appurtenances necessary for the carrying -on of this important part of his business, and though we did not see any -of Dr. Brown Sequard’s Elixir of Life, we can imagine the grim “Old -Reaper” giving his scythe an extra whet when he sees Mr. Bray, the -genial assistant, hand out a bottle of medicine to an invalid on whom he -has fixed his eye. - -Adjoining the dispensing room is Mr. Martin’s private office where he -deliberates over his books--day, ledger, bank, and wants,--and we hope -the two last will always be in a state of congestion. It is here, too, -he has a vacant chair, not always vacant, however. I notice it is a -little worn already, for the ubiquitous traveller in search for orders -he always welcomes cordially, and as his trade is a large one, he -usually has the satisfaction of seeing a grateful smile suffuse the -countenance of that “noble Bohemian” as he wishes him good-bye. - - - - -ON TIME. - - -A want of punctuality is a fault in a business man that cannot be offset -by any other good qualities. It will be constantly causing serious loss -of time, money and temper to those who deal with him, and will naturally -lead them to look elsewhere for their supplies. Nothing short of an -utter impossibility should cause one to neglect the fulfilment of an -engagement, or to be behindhand in filling an order. - -When the great warehouses of an extensive provision merchant were -smoking in ruins, he at once made out a circular and sent it to all who -were expecting orders filled, stating that a fire on the premises had -caused a delay, but that the next day they expected to dispatch all the -goods ordered. It required all the energies of a masterly mind to -accomplish the task, and all the hands he could bring to bear upon the -business, but it was done, and his many customers had the inconvenience -of but a day’s delay. It was a part of the man’s religion, as well as -his business science, to keep no one waiting. That was but one of his -many strong points, but they were all of the same reliable character. No -wonder he rose to a true and substantial greatness in his chosen line. -It is very hard turning over a new leaf in this particular, so it is a -good plan to begin right. Prompt, punctual boys are apt to make the same -kind of men, and vice versa. - -You know that you “boys” are to be the future merchants of the land, -however small the chances seem for it now. “The posts of time run -swift,” and soon one and another will be dropping a line to this -department, telling of their small start in business on their own hook. -They will be sure of congratulations and good wishes all around, which -will be cheering and inspiring, and so far real help to the worker. The -habits he is forming while a clerk will, however, decide more than -anything else his future success or failure. - -If one has fallen into careless, unmethodical habits in any of his -affairs, the only safe course is to “right about face.” The earlier, the -easier. Self-interest alone would prompt such a course as well as -honesty towards his employer.--[American Grocer. - - - - -NECESSITY FOR DISCRETION. - - -Though occasionally it might prove to be of value for the commercial -traveller to hint in an off-hand way that he has received orders from -other firms in the same town, still it would be the height of stupidity -to tell the fact right out, as many of the brotherhood are in the habit -of doing, that Mr. John Smith, for example, has to-day bought goods at -such or such a price, and mentioning all the particulars of the sale, -with the addition that the man solicited, if he will give the order, -shall get the same article at a much lower rate. Any one who has an eye -to business can in a moment see what this talk means. Besides, the -commercial traveller who adopts such mistaken measures in his attempt to -do business, will certainly lose the confidence of the man addressed, -for no sensible person can think otherwise than that the agent would say -exactly the same thing to a third and fourth customer as to the first -and second. Without doubt a customer has the right to feel sure that the -amount of his order and the price he paid for goods will not be made -known to any business competitor, and he certainly would be little -disposed to give his orders to an agent who shows a readiness to gossip -about the affairs of neighboring merchants. - -The commercial traveller who is wise will either avoid talk about -purchases made of him in the place where he is doing business, or will -say very little, always avoiding in this case the mention of details. -And this even when questions are asked about them, for, though they may -be pleased for the moment at having their curiosity satisfied, people -will, as a rule, look with suspicion upon the imprudent discloser of -other people’s business, believing, and not unjustly, that such a man -would manifest the same willingness to reveal their secrets to others. -Discretion in business matters will probably have its reward in the -esteem of others, which readily develops into their confidence. - -“Your Committee appointed to examine the claims of W. R. Austin and -others to apprenticeship registration under the Pharmacy Act of 1884, -recommends that their request be granted, and that all similar requests -addressed to the Registrar be similarly treated.” - -Mr. A. Jeffrey moved, and Mr. McGregor seconded,-- - -“That in any case where the presence of the Executive or other members -of this Council is required in Toronto or elsewhere to attend upon the -work of the College, that they be paid their actual expenses out of the -funds of the College.”--Carried. - -The Principal of the College sent a communication acknowledging receipt -of a quantity of apparatus and books from Henry Watters, Esq., Ottawa. -On the motion of Mr. J.

Clark in the chair. - -A representative of the CANADIAN DRUGGIST, who was present, lodged with -the registrar an application on behalf of Mr. Dyas, proprietor of that -paper, for access to the various reports made at the semiannual meeting. -The chairman stated the request to the meeting, and after a brief -discussion the following resolution was, on the motion of Mr. A. B. -Petrie, seconded by Mr. McKee, unanimously passed:-- - -“That the request of Mr. Dyas, of the CANADIAN DRUGGIST, to be allowed -to obtain full reports of this meeting, be granted.” - -The report of the By-laws and Legislation Committee was read, and, on -the motion of Mr. Hall, seconded by Mr. McGregor, they were received. - -The meeting adjourned at 11.30, until three o’clock. - - -Thursday Afternoon. - -The Council met at 3.45, Mr. John A. Clark in the chair. All were -present except Mr. G. S. Hobart. The Council went into committee of the -whole on the motion of Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. McKee, on the report -of the By-laws and Legislation Committee, Mr. Lawrence in the chair. - -On clause 1, Mr. Watters moved that the name of J. W. McEachern be -inserted as employer.--Agreed. Clauses 2 and 3, dealing with -applications, were passed without discussion. Clause 4 having been -reached, the chairman read several letters from George B. Dingman, -Buffalo, asking what had been done regarding his application for a -diploma. In his first try Mr. Dingman had been successful in all -subjects except dispensing, but had since passed in that subject. Mr. -Sanders, at whose request the correspondence was read, thought the -explanations made sufficient, and the clause was passed. - -Discussion arose over clause 5, from the fact that the applicant, Mr. A. -W. Caton, admitted having been out of business since 1887. Mr. -D’Avignon thought Mr. Caton wanted to set his wife up in business, and -by saying that on paying up his arrears he would be admitted was -paramount to saying that his wife would not. The clause was passed. -Clauses 6 and 7 were passed. On clause 8 Registrar Lewis stated that -recently he had an application from an apprentice of Hargreaves Bros., -of whom one member had not paid fees. Four dollars was still claimed for -one of their branches. - -Mr. Sanders thought the precedent in McGregor & Parks’ case should not -rule. - -It was explained that three of the Hargreaves had interest in one store -and only two in another, and when they made this application they had -three businesses. - -After further discussion progress was reported, and, on the motion of -Mr. Hall, the report, as also the report of the Committee on By-laws, -was referred back for amendment. The following is the gist of the -reports as finally adopted:-- - - “Your Committee on By-laws and Legislation make the following - recommendations: (1) Referring to the two letters of A. L. Foster, - of Ottawa, advise that the registrar be instructed to write him, - that there being no evidence before the committee that the - apprentice did indenture himself as stated it would be necessary - for him to send affidavits, duly sworn to by the apprentice and his - employer, Mr. J. W. McEachern, proving his cases, and that when - received we feel disposed to comply with the request. (2) In the - matter of Alfred Wilson, of Radcliffe Infirmary, and the - corroborative letter of Richard Bremridge, we recommend the - registrar be instructed to write to Mr. Wilson that if he can - produce to this Council satisfactory evidence that he is a - pharmaceutical chemist of Great Britain, he may register. (3) In - the case of W. S. McClintock, of Galva, Ill., we advise that the - registrar be instructed to write him that our by-laws prevent the - Council recognising his claim for registration, as he has failed to - pass on the subject of chemistry, and that at present there is no - arrangement for exchange of diplomas with the State Board of - Pharmacy of Illinois. (4) In the case of George B. Dingman, of - Buffalo, we find by the evidence submitted to your committee that - he is entitled to registration. (6) In the matter of A. W. Caton, - Owassa, Mich., we recommend the registrar be instructed to write - him that on payment of arrears due to this Council he may be - registered. (6) We recommend that the registrar be instructed to - notify Mr. Geo. M. Everist that his claim, made on behalf of R. E. - Sinclair, cannot be recognised, as Dr. G. M. Eastern is not a - registered pharmaceutical chemist. (7) The claim of Malcolm C. Rose - of six months’ service with Mr. Hazelton cannot be entertained, as - Mr. Rose’s apprenticeship contract was not registered. (8) In the - matter of W. A. Hargreaves, of Toronto, your committee would - recommend that the precedents established in similar cases are - according to the Act, and that we cannot comply with Mr. - Hargreaves’ request. (9) In the matter of J. H. Emery we are of - opinion that his apprenticeship, served in New York State, under E. - G. Watts, who is a regularly qualified pharmaceutical chemist of - Ontario, though resident in New York State, will count in the same - way as if served in Ontario. (10) We have examined the claims of - Mr. J. C. Nicholls, largely based on the same grounds as others - referred to in the report of the Education Committee of last - February, and that like them Mr. Nicholls’ claim cannot be - entertained. (11) We recommend the application of J. J. Watson, of - Toronto, be granted, and that he be credited with the time from - January 7 to August 13, 1888, served with Mr. J. C. Hazelton. - -In concurrence with notice of motion served upon the Registrar and -members of the Council in accordance with by-law No. 20, we recommend -that the word “public” in by-law 3 in the sentence “act as public -prosecutor when so inserted by the chairman of the Infringement -Committee,” be struck out, as recommended by the Deputy Attorney General -in his letter of May 27. (2) That the phraseology of by-law 6 be changed -so as to read “Two auditors shall be elected by ballot by the Council, -said auditors shall not be members of the Council.” (3) That in by-law -13 we strike out the words “three years,” where they occur first in the -by-law, and insert in place thereof first the words “four years” and -after the words “pharmaceutical chemist” insert “and has attended two -courses of lectures first in any college of pharmacy or school of -medicine approved by the Council, the period occupied in attending these -first courses may be counted as part of the term of apprenticeship, and -the second or senior course at the Ontario College of Pharmacy such -course to comprise the following subjects, namely: Pharmacy, chemistry, -materia medica, botany and reading and dispensing of prescriptions, and -has attained the age of twenty-one years. This shall not apply to those -who are registered as apprentices prior to March 23rd, 1889. Such shall -only be required to produce a written contract as having served as an -apprentice for a term of three years.” (4) By-law 14 after the words -“charge for” add “engrossed.” (5) By-law 10. Regarding the advice in the -Deputy Attorney-General’s letter of May 27 we recommend that when by-law -10 is dealt with according to the notice of motion given at this -meeting, the advice therein contained will be acted upon. (6) By-law 12. -We advise that by-law 12 be cancelled, and that there be substituted -therefor the following: “All apprentices shall, before the term of their -contract commences, send to the Registrar of the college the sum of $1, -together with a specified form of certificate, signed by the Provincial -Inspector of Schools or by the head master of a high school or -collegiate institute or other evidence satisfactory to the Council -showing that the applicant has passed an examination in the following -subjects, namely: - - Arithmetic and Mensuration.--Reduction, Simple and Compound - Proportion, Vulgar and Decimal Fractions, Square Root, Areas of - Rectilineal Figures, Volumes of Right Parallelopipeds. - - Algebra.--Elementary Rules, Greatest Common Measure, Least Common - Multiple, Fractions, Simple Equations of one Unknown Quantity. - - Political, Physical, and Mathematical Geography. - - English Grammar and Composition. - -And at the same time shall also send to the Registrar a specified form -of certificate showing that the applicant has entered into a binding -contract with a registered pharmaceutical chemist to serve an -apprenticeship for a term of four years. This shall not apply to -apprentices who are registered prior to March 23rd, 1889. And the -foregoing requirements as to registration shall not apply to those who -commence their apprenticeship prior to March 25th, 1884, all of which is -respectfully submitted. - -The report and amendments were adopted. - -Mr. McKenzie read the report of the Infringements Committee, and moved -that it be received. Carried. - -Mr. McKenzie, seconded by Mr. Hobart, moved its adoption. - -Mr. Sanders made some objections, stating the work should be done -directly through the chairman. - -Mr. McKenzie remarked that it was time the Council took decided action -in the matter as the country was well-nigh flooded with illegal -business. - -The motion was carried. - -Following is the report: “Your committee believe that it is time that -action should be taken by this Board to have the Pharmacy Act more -strictly enforced, and we are of opinion that the detective system is by -far the best possible way to reach the offenders. A division of the -Province into districts will materially assist your committee in -reaching many of the offenders, and in view of that we would advise that -the registrar in future refer all complaints of infringements to the -nearest representative of the district on this Council; and if he is -satisfied that such complaint is well founded, he shall at once -communicate such fact to the registrar, who shall at once notify the -chairman of this committee, who shall have power to pay over to said -detective a part of the fine accruing to the College; and that the sum -of $200 be placed to the credit of the chairman of the committee, -subject to his order, of which an account shall be rendered at each -semiannual meeting of this Council. We recommend the rescinding of all -former Acts of this Council conflicting with this report.” - - * * * * * - -The election of scrutineers was the next business. It was moved by Mr. -Petrie, seconded by Mr. Mackenzie, That Messrs. McGann and Murchison be -appointed. It was agreed that the President cast his ballot on this -election, and the above named gentlemen were accordingly elected. - -Mr. Jeffrey was appointed to fix the seal of the College in the absence -of the Chairman and Vice-President to all documents requiring the same. - -On the motion of Mr. G. S. Hobart, seconded by Mr. McGregor, this -resolution was passed,-- - -“That the registrar be instructed to have printed 2,000 copies of the -Pharmacy Act as amended to date, in form and size similar to those in -the Poison Books, and that a copy be sent to each druggist in the -Province.” - -Moved by Mr. D’Avignon, seconded by Mr. Sanders,-- - -“That Messrs. Jeffrey and Mackenzie be appointed to act in conjunction -with the President and Vice-President under By-law 5.” - -This clause relates to the transfer of stock or debentures. - -The Council adjourned at 5.15 p. m. - -Friday Morning. - -The Council met at 11.20, Mr. Clark again in the chair. - -Mr. J. W. Slaven read the report of the Joint Special Committee composed -of the Executive, Finance and Educational Committees, which was adopted. -From this report it appeared that the Council have at last succeeded in -settling the very difficult question of the Professors’ salaries. Under -an arrangement entered into in 1886, the Professors have been paid -according to the attendance at the College. Under the arrangement -effected, each Professor will be paid a definite salary in proportion to -the work he does, which it is expected to be a considerable saving to -the College, thereby placing the Council in a position to deal with the -debt upon the building. The report was adopted. - -Moved by J. McKee, and seconded by J. H. Mackenzie,-- - -“That Mr. F. T. Harrison be appointed by this Council as the -demonstrator of practical work as per report of your Committee.” - -Carried. - -Messrs. Watt and John C. Laidlaw were elected auditors of the Council. - -It was agreed to give Dr. Slaven a new diploma, his old one having been -lost by fire. - -The Council adjourned at 11.40 till 2.30. - -Friday Afternoon. - -The Council met at 3.5, Mr. Clark in the chair. Mr. Jeffrey read the -report of the Education Committee, and having been seconded by Mr. -Watters, moved its adoption. - -Following is a summary of the report,-- - - “The Principal of the School reports 68 junior and 63 senior - students at last term. The fees received amounted to $5,776. The - general conduct of the students was in all respects satisfactory. - The results of last examination show proficiency fully up to the - standard. - - “In submitting rules for the guidance of examiners the Committee, - among other alterations, suggested that the dispensing clause be - altered to the following: The dispensing of five prescriptions with - neatness, accuracy and despatch, labelling and furnishing medicine - as if designed for patients, the order in which candidates - dispensing desk is left and the cleanliness of utensils to be - rated.” - -The report was adopted. - -The report of the Committee re the Duties of the Board of Examiners was -also read. It contained the following: - - “We recommend the appointment of the following gentlemen as - examiners for the ensuing two years: Prescriptions, A. R. Fraser; - chemistry, B. Jackes; botany, C. R. Sneath; pharmacy, Frank Holman; - materia medica, D. S. Sager; dispensing, Wm. Murchison. We think, - in view of the increased work devolving upon the examiners, their - remuneration should be increased, and advise that each examiner - shall receive, as addition to his present remuneration, a further - sum of 50 cents for each student exceeding the number of 50, who - shall be examined by him. We deem it advisable that By-law 13 be - amended by erasing the words ‘Professors of the College shall be - ex-officio members of the Board of Examiners, and shall act as - advisers,’ and that the latter clause of By-law 13 reading - ‘Questions asked by examiners shall be published, and approximate - rating of the answers may be furnished to candidates, their - parents, employers or teachers,’ be struck out.” - -Mr. Sanders suggested that the report be taken up clause by clause. He -explained that a great difficulty experienced by the students was the -fact that the number of marks in subjects in which they failed was not -made known to them as in the subjects in which they were successful. The -Council had set up a standard which was a high one, and did not give an -opportunity to students of knowing to what extent they were deficient. -All the marks, he thought, should be published. - -The report was adopted after a brief discussion. - -The report of the Board of Examiners, containing the following, was also -approved. - - “The number of candidates who presented themselves for examination - was 103. Of these 66 entered for all the subjects, 37 for those - subjects in which they had previously failed. With an experience of - an examination conducted under your proposed rules and regulations, - and more especially under that clause requiring that the written - part of the work of the examination be examined and completed in - the College building and before the examiners separate, we still - feel this work can be better and more satisfactorily done at home, - and would ask and suggest that such be allowed, and that the - examiners be allowed a week in which to return the papers to the - registrar; that a meeting of the Board be held before the final - result is published, as we understand this is the usual method - pursued by the examiners of the Medical College; that the - regulation regarding the number and value of written questions be - changed so as to read as formerly, and as appeared in the Journal, - namely, that the written questions be not more than four-fifths, - either in number or value, more especially in the subject of - prescriptions, when the value of the oral examination bears - directly on the ability of the candidate, and could profitably and - justly be enlarged to at least 50 per cent in value.” - -Mr. Andrew Jeffrey gave the following notice of motion for amendment of -By-law 12 to erase the following: “The professors of the College shall -be ex-officio members of the Board of Examiners, and shall act as -advisers, and that the latter clause of By-law 13, reading ‘The -questions asked at the examinations shall be published, and approximate -rating of the answers may be furnished to candidates, their parents, -employers, or teachers,’ be struck out.” - -On the motion of Mr. Watters the meeting adjourned at 3.45, to meet at 2 -p.m. on the first Tuesday in February, 1890. - - - - -THE LONDON DRUG CO. - -LONDON, ONTARIO. - -J.

Almost every person one meets has a -theory on the subject which, on investigation, will be found more or -less tinctured with selfishness. Admitting that clerks are not always as -affable as they should be, it is just as true, on the other hand, that -customers are often at fault in manners, and too frequently excite -similar shortcomings in those who are serving them for the time being. -Still, in the world of clerks, patience should never cease to be a -virtue, and a good salesman or saleswoman will never show a ruffled -temper even under the most trying circumstances. Next to affable manners -a cool head is of vital importance, for who likes to deal with fussy, -confused people, and when rapid work is necessary, as at the busy season -in large retail stores, the man or woman with a rather short supply of -nerves will generally come out ahead. - -Alertness and promptness are conceded requisites and obligingness a -positive essential. But the faculty most valuable in a salesman is that -of reading character, and if it is backed by ready adaptability and a -mind sufficiently well informed to cater mildly to discoverable -idiosyncrasies, so much the better. - -A salesman’s business is, of course, to sell goods, but it is equally -his duty to make the store a pleasant place for customers; and above -all, to make them carry away a feeling of perfect satisfaction with the -business they have transacted. This can be done without giving -overweight or over-measurement, which are nothing less than a betrayal -of trust, and as reprehensible as giving short weight and measure, the -odium of which must, in the nature of things, fall upon the employer. - -“Put yourself in his place” is an excellent guide to practice. A clerk -who considers what qualities and qualifications he would like in -employees were he, himself, an employer of men, and governs his conduct -accordingly, will not stray far from the right course. An employer who -can, in fancy, put himself behind the counter and view himself from the -clerk’s standpoint, will be vastly wiser and more successful in his -management, and customers who can imagine themselves in the salesman’s -place, and can comprehend the thousand and one trials they are subjected -to by careless and indifferent humanity, will, if they choose, be able -to save both themselves and the clerks an infinite amount of wear and -tear of nerve force, and at the same time, receive vastly more -satisfactory service. - - * * * * * - -An English syndicate has subscribed $10,000,000 to establish extensive -iron and steel works at Vallejo, Cal. - - - - -DRUG NOTES. - - -We would call the attention of druggists to the advertisement of Major’s -Cement in our advertising columns. Major’s Cement has a deservedly -increasing sale in the United States and is now extensively sold -throughout the Dominion. Mr. Major is now giving away to druggists a -handsome thermometer 24 inches long with orders for his goods.

J.

I am anxious to get hold of - a shoemaker, baker, grocer or drygoods merchant who will supply my - family on that basis. Of course my family is on the increase, but - that is all right for me.

That - is, an article costs in the wholesale house $1. Its cost price when - handed to customer is $1.20. Would like to hear how others figure - this up and if my cost is too high, and if I must reduce expenses. - Yours very truly, - -DRUGGIST. - - - - * * * * * - -A correspondent, writing from Herrington, Kansas, sends the following -prescription recently filled by him.

Druggist. - - - - -DISCRETION. - - -Who can do business without advertising? In this advanced age, when -competition is so great, he that runs the race without advertising -eventually gets left. It is considered one of the most important -branches of a business man’s education to know how to advertise -judiciously, and to do it so as to attract attention, and place it where -it will do the most good. It is looked upon as much a part of contingent -expenses as rent, insurance, etc. A certain percentage out of the -profits of each year should be decided on to be expended for the next -year’s business, and the sum increased in proportion to the increase of -business. To do business, a business must be advertised.--[Manufacturer. - - - - -HOW TO BUY. - - -“How can I buy best?” is a question that agitates more than one mind in -the commercial world, and one that very seldom is solved to the perfect -satisfaction of the querist. I propose to go into some of the phenomena -of the art of buying in this issue and, if possible, portray some of the -obstacles in the way of the non-successful purchaser. There are two -prominent classes of successful buyers, which are subdivided into many, -but I intend to treat of these two only at this time, first among these, -and the most favoured is the one who has intimate knowledge of that -which he intends to buy, and who is thoroughly informed as to the best -goods to purchase; the prices; where they are from, etc. The second best -buyer is he who makes a great plunge among those from whom he intends -purchasing and endeavours to impress them with his importance as a -buyer, and his pretended knowledge of the subject on hand. This last -fellow is styled the bulldozer. As to which one of these two classes of -persons buy the closest and best there can be no dispute, the person of -knowledge is free and unfettered because he is on an equal or superior -footing to him from whom he intends buying, inasmuch as his information -gives him the necessary leverage. The second is in the power of the -seller because if a misstatement of fact is made, the purchaser is at a -disadvantage in not knowing whether it is fact or not, and he has to -rely upon his powers of depreciation and arraignment of the goods to -carry him to success. - -I remember once being in a merchant’s store and his tactics and manners -on that occasion created the impression, which has lasted up to the -present time, that he was the best buyer, or at least one of the best, I -ever met. I will tell you what he did and you can then see for yourself. -I walked in and awaited my turn; as soon as he was at leisure he came to -me, and telling me his name, asked me if I wished to see him personally. -I answered him I wished his attention, and told him my business. He -said he was exceedingly busy and would like me to call again. I -specially requested his time for a short space, and he gave me five -minutes. I pulled out my watch and taking it off the chain laid it upon -the counter, open. I commenced to tell him about my goods, and as fast -as I could, dealt out the points respecting them. As the minute hand -crossed the point, and my time expired, I was in the middle of a -sentence, but I stopped abruptly and informed him “time was up.” He said -he was sorry he could not grant me a longer interview as he had an -engagement “but” said he, “I am interested in the information you have -imparted, and I want you to come and see me when I have time to listen.” -I promised I would, and did so. I went into all the details. I gave him -all the knowledge I had amassed by months of study of that one object, -and when I left him it was with a feeling of satisfaction that I had -been partly repaid for my labour in informing myself of the subject, and -that man at least knew enough to buy of that commodity intelligently. - -The great difficulty in the way of most merchants becoming good buyers -is because they are not satisfied to expend from three to five minutes -with a salesman when he comes into their stores in finding out his -prices, goods, etc., so that when the next one comes along if his prices -are below he can take advantage of it, but at any rate, I would suggest -the following to all merchants: Treat the salesman coming to your store -with courtesy, politeness, and consideration, and you may be sure you -will receive in return information that will repay you for the -expenditure. I am sorry to say a great many business men forget that a -compliment to their credit is paid to them when a man enters their -stores to solicit their trade. Then remember the “goods well bought are -half sold.”--[Review. - - - - -[Illustration] - - - - -To the Trade. - - -JUST RECEIVED - -A FRESH SUPPLY - -Carlsbad Sprudel Salts - -Small, per dozen, $7.00.

Strange as it may appear, this merchant held the -opinion that the most pernicious, if not the most damaging, habit in -daily business was the lack of promptness in supplying what was ordered. -“To secure an order,” said he, “some men will promise anything and -everything. You may ask as a favor to have your order filled on the day -agreed upon, and he will promise faithfully that it shall be done. You -then make your arrangements and find that you cannot execute them. The -worst of it is that some of the men who make these promises are of -business repute. They mean well, no doubt, but I contend that they -should show more regard for their word and respect for other people’s -business.” - -These are somewhat severe words, yet they are probably warranted, -although the breach of faith complained of is not common. Business men, -as a rule, while anxious to obtain an order, are equally as anxious to -fill it, for the very obvious reason that the motive governing them in -the one case is the same which governs them in the other. The truth is -that in these competitive times everyone is desirous of doing all he -can, and hence he accepts orders with the belief that, barring accidents -or other unforeseen circumstances, he will be able to redeem his -promise. Of course the wilful promise breaker and his business, too, -regulate themselves, for if a man’s word is not to be generally trusted, -depend upon it his goods will not find a very extensive patronage for -any length of time.--[Stationer. - - - - -A PRACTICAL SYSTEM. - - -Some business men do a vast amount of work without any apparent effort; -they are rarely, if ever, rushed, and are seldom compelled to seclude -themselves from their friends on account of the pressing demands of -their business. Other people, who really accomplish very little, are -always in a hurry; they seem to have a dozen things to do at once, and -the result is, they are in a state of almost perpetual confusion, and -the little they accomplish is only done by the greatest difficulty. In a -very small country store perhaps a merchant can get along without any -system or method in conducting his business. He knows where everything -is in his stock, and can lay his hands on it at a moment’s notice, and -if a customer calls for it he can serve him without any very great -amount of trouble; but, on the other hand, if he is at the head of a -vast business, some great establishment, perhaps, in which there are a -hundred departments, it would be utterly impossible for him to keep -track of things without the most methodical arrangement throughout the -concern with which he is connected. Our great merchant leaves the -details of his business to subordinates, who are accountable to him that -everything goes right in the departments over which they are placed. -Some of the great establishments in our city employ thousands of men, -yet so perfect is the system that every man can be located at a moment’s -notice, and the closest watch can be kept upon the work which he is -doing. There is a system for receiving and shipping goods, a system for -keeping track of stock while in the hands of the producer or dealer; -there is a cash system, a system of bookkeeping by which a mistake of a -penny can be detected at the close of every day’s business. It is only -by these wise and sensible precautions that a great business can be -carried on successfully. Thousands of losses, little and great, are -averted that would certainly occur did not this watchfulness prevail in -every department. - -A writer in the Detroit Free Press said not long ago that “there are -some occupations which compel those who follow them to be orderly and -methodical. There are none in which these qualities, where they have -been neglected, can not be cultivated to good advantage. Deficiency in -them is far from being a token of genius. It signifies something of -indolence and much that is slipshod. Every man knows whether or not he -is as orderly and methodical as he should be. If he is not, unless he is -too old to attempt the task, he should endeavour to improve in these -respects. There is no danger of his carrying it to that excess which -marks persons who have a passionate love of order, but there is a -likelihood that he will materially lighten his work, or find that he can -do much more than he has been in the habit of doing.” - -It seems to the Criterion that this is the keynote of a business man’s -success. No man who conducts his business in a slipshod manner can -expect to achieve desirable results. He should determine to be orderly -and methodical at the very commencement of his career. Order soon -becomes a habit with a business man, and by its observance he is enabled -to do a hundred things that it would be impossible to accomplish if he -did not go at them in the handiest and most effective manner.--[Grocers’ -Criterion. - - - - -BRAINS IN BUSINESS. - - -One secret of success in business--the secret, in fact, of success on a -large scale--is to conceive of it as a matter of principles, not merely -as a series of transactions. There are great merchants as there are -great statesmen, and there are small merchants as there are small -politicians, and the difference is very much the same in both -professions. The small politician works by the day, and sees only the -one small opportunity before him, the small merchant does the same -thing--he is looking for the next dollar. The statesman, on the other -hand, is master of the situation, because he understands the general -principles which control events; this knowledge enables him to deal with -large questions and to shape the future. The great merchant does the -same thing, his business is not a mere money-getting affair, not a mere -matter of barter, but a science and an art; he studies the general laws -of trade, watches the general condition of the country, investigates -present needs, foresees future wants, and adapts his business to the -broad conditions of time and place. He puts as much brains into his work -as does the statesman, and he ends by being not a money getter, but a -large minded and capable man. An eminently successful business man, of -statesmanlike quality, said the other day that the more he understood of -life the more clearly he saw that it was all done on business -principles. By which he meant, not only that the universe stands for the -dollar, but that the universe is governed by unvarying laws, that -promptness, exactness, thoroughness and honesty are wrought into its -very fibre. On these business principles all life is conducted, if not -by men, at least by that power which is behind man. It ought to be the -ambition of every young man to treat his business from the point of the -statesman, and not from that of the politician. - - - - -DRUG MARKET REVIEW. - - -August 10, 1889. - -Business for summer months has kept up very well, and for the past month -there have been no notable changes in value. - -Quinine is dull; there is a strong impression that quinine will not be -any lower; an upward move seems probable. - -Morphia and Opium, slightly advanced. - -In Camphor there is a large demand and a further advance probable. - -We were in error regarding duty being taken off tannic acid, it is only -free when imported by manufacturers for manufacturing purposes. - -Cubebs are dear and scarce, supplies are smaller every year. - -Cascara Sagrada has gone back to old prices. - -Pot Iodide and Bromide are unchanged. - -Fair demand for Insect Powder: prices unchanged. - -Mercurials are all higher. - -Oil Anise will probably be higher as the bulk of it has passed into the -hands of three holders. The basis of the speculative movement is owing -to the probability of a stoppage of the shipment owing to a disagreement -between the producers in China and the importers here. - -Balsam Copaiba will probably be lower; the high price was caused by the -crop last year not being marketed by the South American natives. The -result was high prices which stimulated the natives to great activity in -gathering and forwarding the balsam, and stocks have accumulated -rapidly, so that at present there are 40,000 lbs. in first hands in -European markets. - -Golden Seal Root is unsettled and the tendency is to higher prices. -Senega is in about the same position. Serpentaria continues to advance. - -Coca Leaves reported advanced. - -Caffeine and Salts are cheaper. - -Glycerine unchanged, but there has been a sharp advance in crude. - -In Gallic and Tannic Acids the reports of short crops from China are -confirmed. Galls have gone up 10 to 15 per cent., and we may soon have -to ask more money for Gallic and Tannic acids. - -In Sulphonal the extremely keen competition between the eight or ten -manufacturers has resulted in a decline in price. As things are it seems -advisable to order only for immediate wants. - -Oil Sassafras is likely to be dearer. - -Opium, cuttlebone, quicksilver, anise oil, golden seal root, senega -root, serpentaria root, shellacs, star anise, cassia, cloves, allspice -have advanced. - - * * * * * - -D.

We are -glad to say that we have not been mistaken in our expectations. From the -Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, -Manitoba and British Columbia we have already received congratulatory -letters as well as subscriptions, one and all virtually agreeing in the -verdict, “Just what we needed.” Appended are extracts from a few of the -letters received:</p> - -<p>“Allow me to congratulate you on its make up, which I consider good.”</p> - -<p>“Congratulate you on your first number and do not doubt your success.”</p> - -<p>“Very complete and well calculated to find favour with every Canadian -chemist.”</p> - -<p>“Congratulate you on the make up and contents of the <span class="smcap">Canadian Druggist</span>, -and wish you success in your enterprise.”</p> - -<p>“Was pleased with the first issue of your journal and found a number of -items that would be of interest and use to the druggists of this -Province; trust that you may have the success that your enterprise most -assuredly entitles you to.”</p> - -<p>“Find the <span class="smcap">Canadian Druggist</span> the most interesting paper for druggists in -the Dominion. I wish you success.”</p> - -<p>One of our advertisers says that within two weeks after the publication -of the<a name="page_003" id="page_003"></a> first number, he had business enquiries from two druggists in -Prince Edward Island and one in British Columbia, the extreme easterly -and westerly Provinces of our Dominion, mentioning the advertisement -which appeared in the <span class="smcap">Canadian Druggist</span> leading to the transaction of -business with them.</p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="INSURANCE_OF_DRUG_STOCKS" id="INSURANCE_OF_DRUG_STOCKS"></a>INSURANCE OF DRUG STOCKS.</h2> - -<p>By mutual consent of all fire insurance companies (and when will they -not agree to increase their own profits by raising rates), the rate on -ordinary drug stock is higher than ordinary merchandise rates, claiming -the greater risk on the former class. That this is not the case is shown -time and again from statistics which clearly prove that although drug -stock may and does include goods which are of a particularly inflammable -nature, yet the precautions taken, the description of containers in -which these goods are kept and the usually small proportion of them in a -retail store has reduced the number of fires originating in such -premises to a very small percentage of the total fire losses.</p> - -<p>In Philadelphia a “Druggists’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company” has been -formed, and has issued a large number of policies. Would it not be well -for the druggists of Canada to consider the question either of concerted -action on their part to compel the insurance companies to give us more -reasonable rates, or failing in this to establish a company on somewhat -the same lines as the Philadelphia company? We append some extracts from -the Druggists’ Circular, showing the feeling which exists in the United -States in this matter:</p> - -<p>At the annual meeting of the Ohio Pharmaceutical Association, held in -1888, a committee was appointed to investigate the subject of mutual -fire insurance. This committee has recently made public the results of -its work from which it appears that the druggists of that State pay -pretty dearly for their insurance. It is estimated by the committee, -from all that they can learn, that druggists by protecting themselves on -the mutual plan can save from one-half to three-quarters of the money -now expended for premiums.<a name="page_004" id="page_004"></a></p> - -<p>There has long been an exceedingly strong suspicion in the minds of -druggists everywhere that the rates usually charged them for insurance -against fire were extravagant. When protesting against these charges -they have been confronted with pictures of the terribly dangerous -character of their stocks—how their stores were magazines of highly -inflammable substances, which by the breaking of a bottle, might in a -moment be involved in destruction.</p> - -<p>To show that a pharmacy is in fact a rather safe place, so far as fire -is concerned, we may quote from the report above referred to that in -Cleveland the loss to retail druggists from that cause during a period -of eighteen years amounted to only $5,500; and in Cincinnati the loss in -eight years was but $3,000.</p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="PHARMACISTS_AIDS" id="PHARMACISTS_AIDS"></a>PHARMACISTS’ AIDS.</h2> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>There can be no doubt of the fact, that two of the most rapidly -increasing demands upon the ability of the pharmacist of to-day, -are analytical chemistry and microscopy. The former includes that -class of demands that so frequently apply to the druggist for -analysis of some special compound or even more often for an -analysis of urine. These are not limited to the “ignorant (?) -laity,” but are decidedly common requests from physicians -themselves. It has only been a few years since these subjects -became so important in the diagnosis of disease, and therefore only -the decidedly studious or recent graduate appreciates or -investigates the utility of their possibilities. Referring -especially to the matter of urine analysis, for every druggist -should be posted on analytical chemistry, we know that very few of -our best pharmacists have made any special study of this specialty -and the following is an ordinary result. The doctor, often for lack -of time, quite as often for lack of information, applies to the -pharmacist for an analysis of urine—presuming, the pharmacist -cannot do it, naturally enough the doctor goes elsewhere, but does -he ever return for any more such work? Does he ever refer anyone -else to that store for it? No—all references in this line are to -that pharmacist who is capable thereof. How many prescriptions, how -much trade is thereby lost, transferred? Just because the first -pharmacist could not do a little chemical analysis that would not -have required more than twenty<a name="page_005" id="page_005"></a> minutes of his time, for which, -also, he would be paid. On the other hand, presuming, he says, -“Yes, I will analyse it for you,” the doctor not only has reason to -go there again for such work, not only refers other doctors, as -also his patients, there, but trade, prescriptions, etc., are -necessarily increased.</p> - -<p>We know a pharmacist who, as a result of this one department of -analytical chemistry, took in two hundred dollars for the work -itself in one year, to say nothing of the increase of trade thus -induced. In other words, we believe that a pharmacist should not -only be a druggist, but a chemist. He need not delve in the minute -depths of the subject, but there are many of its minor branches -like the one referred to—that require but little study or time, -that not only add to his business, but give a scientific touch to -his reputation that the public decidedly admire. As regards the -microscope in pharmacy, the many and increasing articles in our -different journals commending its value and use are but growing -proofs of the fact that the pharmacist of the future will and must -be a microscopist.</p> - -<p>Here we have another of the many minor studies, that are not only -easily learned but quite as easily applied.</p> - -<p>The value of a microscope is illustrated readily by the fact that -while every crystal, root, rhizome, leaf, powder, starch, etc., -have distinctive and individual peculiarities, yet very few of -these are distinguishable by the naked eye, while all are easily -resolved and can be identified by aid of a microscope and a little -experience. When we think of the fact that England, France, Germany -and other foreign countries make a business of manufacturing -especial “adulterants for the American trade” we can comprehend the -necessity of individual analysis. Of course the microscope can only -apply to a part of these things, and many pharmacists have but few -occasions to use its powers. Nevertheless if one possesses the -knowledge to detect anise in conium, or vice versa, starch, sugar, -etc., in quinine and antipyrine or powdered ipeac, to say nothing -of coffee, pepper and many more drugs that are so commonly -adulterated, he could save the price of his instrument in a -comparatively short time, and while enjoying the pleasure of this -delightful and instructive work would also know that he is -conscientious in supplying pure articles to his customers.</p> - -<p>It is encouraging to know that microscopy has been gaining in -importance in many of our pharmacy schools. Usually starting with -small proportions and inefficient supplies—it, as a study, -gradually works its way and proves its utility until to-day a -number of the leading colleges require the work as one of the -necessities for graduation. In many medical schools of the United -States and Europe not only is microscopy applied temporarily but -much stress is being laid on photomicrography, by which means its -valuable investigations are easily preserved. It is evident that -microscopy is one of the pharmaceutical advancements of the day. It -has rapidly pressed its needs upon the scientific part of the -profession. It is growing in demand. It is a comparatively new -field and presents grand opportunities for observation, -investigation and original work.<a name="page_006" id="page_006"></a></p> - -<p>As the time must surely come when a part of the pharmacist’s -armament will be a microscope and microscopy, we wish to direct -attention to the subject in the belief that those who would be -progressive may be led to investigate its value.—[N. E. Druggist.</p></div> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="CUTTING_PRICES" id="CUTTING_PRICES"></a>CUTTING PRICES.</h2> - -<p>In connection with this subject of cutting, the following interview of -an Era reporter with Mr. Alexander Hudnut, the proprietor of the great -cut rate store of Hegeman & Co., New York, will be read with interest. -Mr. Hudnut said:—</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>The rebate plan, or any other system of artificial bolstering, is -as futile as it would be to try and dam Niagara. Legislation on the -subject is unnecessary and superfluous. The matter carries its own -death warrant with it.</p> - -<p>Some six years ago the drug trade got together and formed a most -beautiful plan for maintaining prices. Where is that beautiful plan -now? The rebate system is probably its legitimate offspring. Come -to me some years hence and I expect to be able to point to a string -of lineal descendants of the rebate plan, each of them as helpless -to perform what is expected as the other. The world ought to be -wise enough by this time to recognize the fixity of the laws which -govern commerce.</p> - -<p>I regard the principle of cutting as a settled policy in the drug -business, and I shall pursue that steadily. Hegemann & Co. have -done a business of about $325,000 annually. I expect to increase it -to half a million dollars. In London the immense stores of the Army -& Navy, and of the Civil Service have worked a revolution in the -drug trade, by buying at first hands in immense quantities, and -selling on close margin. They have even cut the rates on -prescription business. The result has been that the chemists, as -they call them there, have been compelled to come down in their -prices, and a process of elimination has steadily gone on—the weak -have had to go to the wall. The result is the “survival of the -fittest.” These conditions apply to New York, and I venture to say -that there are not over ten drug stores in the city of New York -that are making their owners more than a living. With the rest it -is simply a process of more or less rapid rusting out.</p></div> - -<p>An absence of cut prices, and general prosperity marks the retail drug -trade of Cleveland. The Cleveland Pharmaceutical Association is clannish -and its dues are so moderate that almost the entire trade is within the -Association. This gives rise to a brotherly feeling which makes doing -business a pleasure; and prevents cuts and insures prosperity. The drug -trade in many cities suffers from wholesale slashing of prices from the -lack of such an Association as exists in Cleveland. The Association is -thoroughly organized, and the two wholesale houses in Cleveland do -everything in their power to help the retail trade along, and decline to -sell at retail in<a name="page_007" id="page_007"></a></p> - -<h3>OPIUM.</h3> - -<p>In Opium the reduced estimates of the probable yield from the current -crop, coupled with advices of higher prices in London and the primary -market, have caused a much firmer feeling here. The bulk of the spot -supply is controlled by three dealers who it is said are working in -harmony to raise prices, in which effort they have already made -considerable progress, it would appear, since at the close there was -very little standardized to be had at $3.10, the general quotation being -$3.15. Natural was held at $3.20 to $3.50. While there were no large -buyers in the market, the demand for single cases and broken lots was -very good. Powdered has advanced to $4.20 to $4.30 as to seller and -test. We have received the following from Smyrna under date of July -13th: “There is no longer doubt that if the yield of 5,000 baskets is to -be reached by the new crop (including the 1,250 baskets from Salonica) -the fields on the high grounds must yield much more than the lower -fields have shown up to the present moment—arrivals of 117 baskets -against 570 in 1888, which certainly is a poor showing. It is true that -in Constantinople, where they got the opium from the districts where the -gathering was made in advance of the others this season, they had -received 45 baskets against 125 last year, which is somewhat better than -we can show, but is still awfully poor. Holders are very sanguine and -will not sell their goods unless they get higher prices, and as they now -have increased facilities for depositing their goods with banks at -reasonable rates of interest, it is most probable that buyers will have -to accept their terms. The stocks abroad were large, but as they have -been kept all along at lower rates than what opium could be bought at in -the primary markets, they have gradually melted down to reasonable -quantities. London has hardly 1,000 cases, the greater part of which is -Persian and high grade Turkish, not suitable for the American market. -New York has about 500 cases which could be called ‘in the market.’ The -balance is held by outsiders who would not part with their opium unless -they get much higher prices for it. But all this is a matter of little -consideration to the native merchant in Turkey; he holds on to his opium -when he sees a small crop, and buyers will have either to live on the -European and New York stocks or pay them something better than the -starving prices they paid for the last few years.” Since this was -written, some cables advise crop estimates reduced to 4,500 baskets -(including Salonica), and prices in Smyrna from 9s. 3d. to 9s. 9d.<a name="page_008" id="page_008"></a></p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="ADVANTAGES_OF_TRADE_JOURNALS" id="ADVANTAGES_OF_TRADE_JOURNALS"></a>ADVANTAGES OF TRADE JOURNALS.</h2> - -<p>Trade journals have become an established institution, and the fact that -they have come to stay cannot longer be doubted. Their advantage, to -both the buyer as well as the seller, is manifested every day in the -change which has been wrought in the present manner of transacting -business. A few years ago, before these journals were established, if a -party desired to purchase a certain line of goods, the first thing he -would do would be to supply himself with the necessary funds, pack up -his grip and start out upon a tour of observation and inspection; and -after traveling over a large amount of territory and spending -considerable money, would finally succeed in finding the goods sought -for. The manufacturer who was desirous of introducing to the public any -new line of goods, was obliged to resort to the slow, expensive and -uncertain method of mailing out printed circulars, at the rate of ten -dollars per thousand for postage, besides the expense of printing, -folding and directing them; and perhaps eight out of every ten thus sent -out, if received at all by the parties to whom directed, would find -their way to the waste-paper basket without ever being opened. It being -impossible to reach every one by this method, the chances for striking -one who might be in want of the article named therein was often not one -in five hundred, while perhaps a hundred others might be omitted who -might be in want of it.</p> - -<p>Advertising in a general way in the papers of the day was not a -profitable investment. Those papers having a very large circulation, -such as the “Scientific American,” the “Iron Age,” and others which -might be named, were valuable papers and probably were the best mediums -at that time; but their circulation, although very large, was general, -and while the advertiser was charged for the space occupied at a rate -based upon a circulation of 40,000 or 50,000 copies, yet in many -instances but very few of the trades interested and to whom it was -desirable to introduce the goods, were ever reached. For instance, the -“Iron Age” circulated principally among hardware and iron dealers, who -formed a considerable portion of its circulation, very few of whom had -any interest whatever in saw-mill or planing-mill machinery, and so on -with all other trades, and as before stated, while they were paying -exorbitant rates for advertising based upon the large circulation of -those journals, they were really deriving less benefit from it than they -would have received from a medium of one-quarter the circulation, but -devoted exclusively to this particular trade and circulated exclusively -among them.</p> - -<p>Every trade is now represented by a journal devoted to that trade -exclusively, and a purchaser now, instead of spending large sums of -money and much valuable time in roaming over the country in search of -any particular<a name="page_009" id="page_009"></a> line of goods, may sit down quietly in one corner of his -office and consult his trade paper, in which he will find the goods of -the most prominent and reliable manufacturers carefully described and -fully illustrated by fine, artistic cuts, so that all that is required -is to write to some of those houses, who will cheerfully answer all -inquiries, or in most cases, send their travelling man, who will come -prepared to give them all further information that may be required, and -their purchases may be made then and there to just as good advantage as -if they had spent $100 in travelling expenses, in order to visit the -same house in person. If any house is neglected by not being represented -in its own trade paper, it is its misfortune in not being represented, -and not the fault of the journal.</p> - -<p>Another change has been brought about, and one that trade journals have -had more or less to do with: There is a different class of travelling -men representing these houses at the present time from what there was a -few years ago. Since buyers have abandoned the plan of visiting these -houses in person prominent manufacturers have found it for their own -interest to employ none but sober, competent and reliable men to -represent them—men who are well posted in the business and who are -competent to give intelligent and reliable information with regard to -the goods which they represent, and the result is that the public has -more confidence and is more ready to deal with them than formerly, while -the “bums” that formerly represented, or misrepresented, these houses -have disappeared from the road. Manufacturers find it to their advantage -to have their goods thus represented in these journals, for the reason -that while the rates are much lower than would be obtained in the former -mediums, they are sure every copy that is sent out from the office of -publication, whether the circulation be 1,000 or 10,000 per issue, will -be sure to fall into the hands of some one who is interested in their -particular line of goods.</p> - -<p>The public has been benefited by trade journals in another manner which -can not be omitted. Almost every journal representing any particular -trade has secured the services of experienced and practical writers, -who, from long experience in this particular line, have become experts -in the business, and from whom much valuable information may be obtained -by those who have not had the same experience and advantages. Many young -men just starting out in life, either as proprietors or foremen in the -various trades, have received many valuable hints from these sources, -which have been of much benefit to them, and which might have required -years of experience before they could have acquired the same -information. And for this and other reasons which have been given, what -was said at the commencement of this article may be repeated, viz., that -the trade journals have come to stay.</p> - -<p>No druggist can afford to do without his<a name="page_010" id="page_010"></a> drug journal. Through the -columns of the <span class="smcap">Canadian Druggist</span> he may keep himself posted on new -remedies, approved appliances, fresh developments in the pharmaceutical -and chemical worlds; he can, at a glance, note the fluctuations in -prices of goods, and by careful perusal of the advertising columns (not -by any means the least important part of the trade journal) will keep -track of all specialties offered by our advertisers. Our advice is, Read -your trade paper regularly, and support it liberally.</p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="DIGNITY_IN_BUSINESS" id="DIGNITY_IN_BUSINESS"></a>DIGNITY IN BUSINESS.</h2> - -<p>It is not a good plan to descend to sensationalism in the methods of -conducting business. True enterprise is as far removed from the -rowdy-dowdy style of procedure as is day from night. All men are not -coarse and ignorant in their perceptions, and no business communication -or business announcement should be sent forth that is not gentlemanly -and delicate in both diction and sense. A contrary course will soon -convince its author that he is making a great mistake in stooping to -vulgarity and the small and unrefined side of men’s natures.</p> - -<p>It is all very well to make a little noise occasionally, in order to -stir up languishing trade. The more noise the better, in fact, provided -it is only the right kind of noise, and not the discordant braying of -commercial fish-horns. A red-hot campaign now and then is the best thing -out, but it must be managed with skill and tact.</p> - -<p>The most successful merchants of to-day recognize the fact that it does -not pay to abuse competitors. If one’s competitors are dishonorable and -tricky the public will find it out in the long run, whereas if they are -straightforward and progressive, no amount of slander will hurt them. -Praise your own wares truthfully and fearlessly, and let your neighbor’s -alone—that is the best way. Brag and bluster may do for a season, but -they don’t wear.</p> - -<p>When a merchant advertises in the newspapers he is in great danger of -saying too much—or rather, of clothing what he does say in the wrong -terms. Slang should be avoided always. Never appeal to the passions and -prejudices of your patrons. Most men nowadays happily think with their -intellects. It is an error to suppose that we can either interest or -instruct people by first assuring them that they are all but hopelessly -ignorant. Human nature may be weak, but it is strong enough to resent -such offensive presumption. The public knows more than many a merchant -is willing to give it credit for.</p> - -<p>In sending out trade letters and circulars it is not only unwise but -positively ruinous to assume an undignified and vulgar tone. Nothing -shows the ass in the lion’s skin so quickly. It should always be borne -in mind by the merchant or business man of whatever line that culture -and good breeding are appreciated even by the unlettered, and that is -asking favors—which every business man in some form or other does of -his patrons—the language of the gutter is not the proper means of -expression to employ. All business transactions should be dignified.<a name="page_011" id="page_011"></a></p> - -<hr /> -<h2><big><big>Smith & McGlashan Co,</big></big></h2> - -<p class="c">[LIMITED]</p> - -<p class="c">WHOLESALE DEALERS IN</p> - -<p class="cb"><span class="sans">DRUGGISTS’ SPECIALTIES</span></p> - -<p class="c">Sundries and Fancy Goods</p> - -<p class="c">Agents for E.

Clark in the chair.</p> - -<p>The Chairman read some correspondence he had with Mr. E. R. Beckwith, -Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy, at Petersburg, Virginia. He -(the Chairman) remarked that there had been a difference of opinion in -the Council regarding the Pharmacy laws. The desire of the writer was -that those who passed the examinations before competent Boards could -pass into and practise in any other State without re-examination, and -that the certificate of the Secretary should suffice. Seventy-five per -cent of marks were suggested as requisite. It was proposed to call a -convention of State delegates to arrange the matter, and that the vote -of two-thirds of those so assembled should be sufficient to give power -to act. He (the Chairman) wrote Mr. Beckwith on June 13, giving him the -names of colleges with whom the Ontario College interchanged -certificates, namely: the Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Massachusetts -and California Colleges, and with the Board of Pharmacy of the City and -County of New York. As regards the scheme of interchange so far, the -States reported as follows: Delaware considered unadvisable; Tennessee, -yes; Nebraska does not favor; Pennsylvania, undesirable; North Carolina, -yes; Michigan and Minnesota, yes.</p> - -<p>Mr. A. B. Petrie said that in many of the State Boards four or five men -met together and granted diplomas, while many of the colleges were -private enterprises. While the Ontario College was desirous to raise -the<a name="page_020" id="page_020"></a> standard, a step of this kind might be injurious if not dangerous.</p> - -<p>Mr. G. S. Hobart thought it would prove a benefit to go into the -arrangement as more young men crossed into the United States to practise -than came from the United States to this country.</p> - -<p>On the motion of Mr. Andrew Jeffrey, seconded by Mr. H. Watters, the -following resolution was put and carried:</p> - -<p>“That the communication of E. B. Beckwith, of Petersburg, Virginia, -referring to the holding of a convention of State and other Boards of -Pharmacy, be received, and the President of the Council be instructed to -watch the proceedings, and if he deems it in the interest of the College -he is hereby empowered to attend such convention.”</p> - -<p>Mr. Lewis read the Registrar and Treasurer’s report as follows:—</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>“I beg to report that since 1st February, 1889, the following -medical practitioners have taken out registration:—Wm. Spencer -Harrison, Brantford; James Switzer Freeborn, Lionshead; R. G. -Montgomery, Forest River, Dakota; W. B. Nisbet, Angus; Alexander M. -McFaul, Staynor; Richard Allan Clark, Ridgetown; D. C.

The register showed -the members in arrears, 86 for 1888, 200 for 1889, as near as I can -judge. The statement of receipts and disbursements showed balance -on hand at the beginning of the year to have been $5,095.94; -receipts, $3,865.23; disbursements, $5,546.81.”</p></div> - -<p>On the motion of Mr. John McKee, seconded by Mr. J.

Jeffrey and Mackenzie, were instructed -to take an inventory of the books and other belongings of the club, with -a view to insurance, which the Chairman remarked should be done without -delay.</p> - -<p>On the motion of Mr. J. J. Hall, seconded by Mr. A. B. Petrie, the -Registrar was instructed to have a circular addressed to each man doing -business in the Province as a pharmaceutical chemist, inviting him to -comply with clause 10, sub-section 1 of section 31, being the recent -amendment to the Pharmacy Act passed March last.</p> - -<p>Several members thought copies of the whole Act should be sent.</p> - -<p>The resolution was passed.</p> - -<p>The Chairman suggested that a solicitor<a name="page_021" id="page_021"></a> should be consulted in the case -of E. M. Pearen who had been asked to be present that day at eleven, but -did not appear.</p> - -<p>Mr. D’Avignon alleged that the charge against Mr. Pearen was alleged -forgery, and if that was so, that he should be prosecuted. The fact that -the register of apprentices had been altered would interfere with their -proper registration as druggists afterwards.</p> - -<p>Mr. H. Watters—The question is, can we prove it?</p> - -<p>The chairman said he concurred with Mr. D’Avignon when he said that a -lawyer should be consulted.</p> - -<p>Mr Lewis was reluctant to tell the Council the exact facts, but said he -would inform a lawyer of the whole matter. He felt more annoyed that he -had been beaten, so to speak, by Mr. Pearen than from any other cause.</p> - -<p>On the motion of Mr. H. Watters, seconded by Mr. J. E. D’Avignon, the -mover, with Messrs. Petrie and Lewis, were appointed to consult a -solicitor and report.</p> - -<p>Mr. J. M. McKee moved, and J. W. Slaven seconded the following -resolution:—</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>“That whereas the report of the Registrar-treasurer of February 16, -1889, shows that the fees from students of this college for the -past year have been $5,756, of which sum $4,378 by this statement -is due to the professors, and only $1,378 retained by the College, -according to agreement (See Sept. Journal, p. 23), which agreement -we recommended be cancelled, and the Professors forthwith be -notified by Registrar accordingly in view of the rapidly increasing -revenue from students and the large amount of money paid out to the -Professors, we believe we are warranted in readjusting the salaries -so that each of the Professors be paid by the Executive of this -College a definite sum according to work performed. Therefore, be -it resolved, that the Educational, the Executive, and the Finance -Committees do at once confer with the Principal and teaching staff, -and endeavour to make satisfactory arrangements with regard to the -same. Failing to meet this, or arrive at a satisfactory agreement, -that they be further empowered to report as soon as possible upon -some plan whereby such an arrangement can be effected.”</p></div> - -<p>The mover pointed out that when the school first commenced the amount -received by the teachers was only $108. It had been gradually -increasing, and although not doubting the ability of the teachers he -thought each one only had a right to be paid for what he did. He did not -know, however, where they could find another college making so much -profit. Last year there had been a profit of $1,388, which the -matriculation fees had brought up to $1,600. It was a question whether -they could do so with reduced salaries. A cheaper staff might spread an -influence against the college.</p> - -<p>Mr. A. B. Petrie said that in Philadelphia the scholars were certainly -attracted by the prestige of the professors, but in Canada they were -obliged to come to the college in any case.<a name="page_022" id="page_022"></a></p> - -<p>Mr. J. E. D’Avignon pointed out that no one was obliged to come until -after the Act had been passed this year.</p> - -<p>Mr. J. W. Slaven pointed out that the institution was now $14,000 in -debt.</p> - -<p>The resolution was carried and the Council adjourned at noon.</p> - -<p class="r"> -Wednesday Afternoon.<br /> -</p> - -<p>The Council met at 3.25, Mr. John A. Clark in the chair.</p> - -<p>Mr. Watters reported that along with Mr. Petrie he had been to the -office of Messrs. Edgar & Malone, barristers, and saw the former -regarding the case of Mr. Pearen. Mr. Edgar thought the correction made -in the books was necessary in the interests of the young men.</p> - -<p>Mr. Watters, therefore, seconded by Mr. Petrie, moved the following -resolution:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>“Mr. Pearen not having complied with the request of this Council to -appear before the Board to explain the irregularities with which -his name has been associated, acting on legal advice it is deemed -unadvisable to take any further action in the matter, and it is -hereby resolved that no further action be taken.”</p></div> - -<p>A communication from Messrs. Edgar and Malone, barristers, was filed -along with the resolution stating that in the action of Mr. Pearen, in -regard to the apprenticeship of Mr. John A. Dunbar, there was no -evidence to sustain an action against him under the Pharmacy Act, and -further, that such being the case, no action could be taken under -Section 20, looking to have his name erased from the register, and that -the firm thought it unwise to press matters against Mr. Pearen.</p> - -<p>The resolution was carried.</p> - -<p>Mr. A. D. Weeks, chemist, Uxbridge, handed in a letter and an -application on behalf of Mr. T. C. Nicholls, B.A., Uxbridge, claiming -clemency of the O.C.P. The Chairman, after Mr. Weeks had been heard, -told him that as was usual in such cases, the application would be -considered by a committee.</p> - -<p>An application from John J. Watson, for time served in Hazelton was then -lodged and also remitted to the committee.</p> - -<p>The following notice of motion was made: Moved by Mr. John J. Hall, -seconded by Mr. L. T.

Addison said of -doctors:—“This body of men may be described like the British army in -Cæsar’s time. Some of them slay in chariots and some on foot. If the -infantry do less execution than the charioteers, it is because they -cannot be carried so soon into all the quarters of the town and despatch -so much business in so short a time.”</p> - -<p>But in our days the vendors of “certain cures” do their business much -more easily by staying at home and allowing customers to come to them. -They do not even trouble to emulate Cotgrave’s poor doctor of physic, -Pulsefeel, who was accustomed to harangue the public that he could -“clarifie your blood, surfle your cheeks, perfume your skin, tinct your -hair, enliven your eye, and heighten your appetite.” Doubtless vendors -of medicines, patent or not patented, find it a profitable business. For -one of the characteristics of the true-born Briton is an innate love of -physic. Often the most nauseous is esteemed the best, although it may be -admitted that the taste for nasty medicine is rather dying out. “To -quack of universal cures” has ever been a facile path to public -approbation and fortune. Brown wrote:—“Saltimbancoes, quacksalvers, and -charlatans deceive the vulgar;” and Burton said, “Many poor country -vicars, for want of means, are driven to their shifts to turn -mountebanks, quacksalvers and empyricks.” Civilization and progress, -instead of leading to a diminution of medicines not recognized in the -Pharmacopœia of the Royal College of Physicians, has resulted in an -opposite effect. For a number of maladies, or, perhaps, it should be -said, names of maladies, have been called into existence unknown to our -sturdy forefathers. For instance, we have half-a-dozen new designations -for what our great grandmothers would have called a “fit of the spleen.” -And for every new name which is devised by the ingenuity of nosologists -at least half-a-dozen remedies appear with mushroom rapidity. Even the -medical journals teem with advertisements of so-called remedies not -admitted into the Pharmacopœia. Bromidia, “the hynotic which does not -lock up the secretions;” elixir of cascara, “laxative, palatable, -reliable;” pumiline, “for bronchitis, throat and chest affections, fully -recognized by over 500 testimonials;” vinolia, “which will relieve the -intensest itching from any cause whatever;” liquor cascara suavis, -“registered,” are a few among many similar articles advertised in a -recent medical journal.<a name="page_024" id="page_024"></a> Now when orthodox medical journals insert -advertisements of the kind they might with grace refrain from, as they -sometimes do, calling the lay press to account for the insertion of -advertisements of patent medicines. For to the lay mind there really -does not appear very much difference between the advertisement of -medicated bonbons, “protected by Royal letters patent,” in a medical -journal, and advertisements of a like character in a daily newspaper.</p> - -<p>It is, however, of shop-window cures we now discourse. So profitable -does this branch of business seem to have become, that it has overflowed -its legitimate position in the chemist’s and druggist’s mart, and -invaded the premises of other tradespeople. Every vendor of sweets, and -many grocers, seems to find it profitable to have a special medical -agent for sale. In a climate such as this, where coughs, colds, throat -and chest affections so prevail, all who sell anything in the way of -medicines have certain cures for such prevalent maladies. The number of -so-called remedies is legion, and consists of pills, syrups, emulsions, -mixtures, tinctures, lotions and potions <i>ad nauseam</i>. But there is one -called “cough balsam,” unblushingly described as the “only known cure -for cough, asthma and consumption.” Now as cough may depend upon at -least fifty different causes, and as consumption kills thousands -annually, this must be a very wonderful medicine indeed, and doctors -should hide their diminished heads. It is really very stupid of people -to go on coughing when they can precure a remedy for a few pence; and -quite unnecessary for asthmatics or consumptives to go to the Riviera in -the winter when they have a remedy at home. So say the vendors of chest -affection cures. The giver of good advice rarely receives his due, -otherwise we might say “Don’t” to anyone disposed to trust these cures.</p> - -<p>Corns and bunions demand a good deal of attention. There are many kinds -of corn plasters and several “miraculous cures,” which are all -“painless, simple and speedy,” and which secure “ease, comfort and good -temper.” One proprietor of a miraculous cure is so enthusiastic that he -breaks out into doggerel—</p> - -<div class="poetry"> -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">If corn or bunion trouble you, of this you may be sure,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">That free from pain you soon will be by using ——’s cure.<br /></span> -</div></div> -</div> - -<p>After this the man who merely advertises a corn rubber is nowhere. We -were, however, under the impression that corns originated from pressure -or friction, and that the only radical cure was removing that pressure -or friction after the corn, if very large, had been taken out. -Toothache, being so common, has, of course, a number of cures. A -sufferer would dare a good deal to appease the hideous throes of -toothache, and when plaintively asked, “Why sutler from toothache when -you can cure it by using the toothache pencil?” would certainly try -this,<a name="page_025" id="page_025"></a> that or the other remedy before facing the dentist. But, alas! -the dentist’s chair is the ultimate fate of the person with an aching -tooth, and he may be happy if on leaving the dentist he carries his -tooth—in his jaw—along with him. Nervous debility seems almost as -responsible as toothache or corns for certain cures. Among the hundreds -o’ medicines devoted to nervous debility there are “best brain tonics,” -“botanic pick-me-ups,” “golden medical discoveries,” “damiana wafers,” -and “syrups” of all kinds. Liver complaints and digestive imperfections -are also well supplied. “Candies” and “jujubes,” <i>cum multis aliis</i>, are -all very good for liver and digestion—at least so say the proprietors. -There is one advertiser who, having announced, “Remove the cause and the -effect will cease,” soars boldly above his compeers, and announces, -“Head, stomach and liver pills!” It is, however, in the domains of -surgery that shop-window cures are most pronounced. “Another leg saved!” -“Another hand saved!” “Another toe saved!” by a certain ointment and -pills is boldly announced. If all is correctly stated with reference to -this new ointment and pills, Professor Holloway is outdone. Cancers are -exhibited, diseased bone is shown, and corns are produced, all cured by -this wonderful ointment. Bills are also distributed purporting to be the -history of cures. One begins, “A boy threw a stone and hit him on the -finger over six years ago.” The remainder of the account may be -transferred into, “Affliction sore long time he bore, physicians were in -vain,” until he was cured by the pills and ointment. Now this was -evidently a case of scrofulous disease of the bones, always most -tedious, and recovery <i>post</i> is not <i>propter</i>. We close the list by -mentioning first “Oriental pills.” Why they are called Oriental pills we -do not know, and what they are for we cannot ascertain. The name is -curious, for pills in the East, unless introduced by Europeans, are as -rare as snakes in Iceland. And, secondly, a cure for chilblains called -“Chimethloplastron!” What it means we do not know. And we do not take to -it—for the word does not come trippingly from the tongue like the -blessed Mesopotamia.</p> - -<p>It has been said that faith in the doctor is half the battle. -Shop-window cures, however, require more than faith; they demand -credulity. Nothing catches a man more than a pretended confidence; and -of this among vendors of medicines, patent or not patented, there is no -lack. It is astonishing how one is able to persuade oneself into a -belief in accordance with one’s wishes. Barnum’s definition of a humbug -was, “A man who gives you your money’s worth, but induces you to deal -with him by some plausible tale connected with his goods.” Shakespeare -asked, “Can’st thou not cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff -which bears upon the heart?” This is not to be<a name="page_026" id="page_026"></a> done by nostrums, and -not always by doctors. Notwithstanding the vigorous declarations of -vendors of nostrums, they do not appear quite sure of themselves. For -the names of eminent medical men are freely used—among others, those of -Brodie, Blundell, Jenner, Clark. This recalls to mind an anecdote of the -Duke of Wellington and Dr. Locock. Meeting one day the Duke said, -“Confound you, Locock! I’ve almost poisoned myself by taking your -pulmonic wafers!” “Ah!” answered Locock, “and I have lamed myself by -wearing Wellington boots!”—<i>Globe in C. and D.</i></p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="CANADIAN_TARIFF_CHANGES" id="CANADIAN_TARIFF_CHANGES"></a>CANADIAN TARIFF CHANGES.</h2> - -<p>Alizarine, blood albumen, arseniate, bi-arseniate, chlorate and stannate -of soda, tannic acid, tartar emetic, chlorate of potash crystals, gum -gedda, gum barberry, grey tartar, fustic extract and quercitron or -extract of oak bark, when imported by the manufacturers of cotton and -woolen goods for use in their own factories only; and grey tartar, -fustic extract, and quercitron or extract of oak bark, for the -manufacture of colours, are admitted free of Customs duty until the end -of the next session of Parliament.</p> - -<p>Sulphate of alumina and alum cake, used as a substitute for alum by -paper-makers, are placed on the list of articles that may be imported -into Canada free of Customs duty.</p> - -<p>Sumac, when imported to be used for dyeing or tanning purposes, i.e., -manufacturing purposes, not further manufactured than crushed or ground, -is placed on the list of articles that may be imported into Canada free.</p> - -<p>Camwood, when imported to be used for dyeing or tanning purposes, i.e., -manufacturing purposes, not further manufactured than crushed or ground, -is also placed on the list of free articles.</p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="A_HANDSOME_DRUG_STORE" id="A_HANDSOME_DRUG_STORE"></a>A HANDSOME DRUG STORE.</h2> - -<p>A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and we hope Mr. E.

It required all the energies of a masterly mind to -accomplish the task, and all the hands he could bring to bear upon the -business, but it was done, and his many customers had the inconvenience -of but a day’s delay. It was a part of the man’s religion, as well as -his business science, to keep no one waiting. That was but one of his -many strong points, but they were all of the same reliable character. No -wonder he rose to a true and substantial greatness in his chosen line. -It is very hard turning over a new leaf in this particular, so it is a -good plan to begin right.

Any one who has an eye -to business can in a moment see what this talk means. Besides, the -commercial traveller who adopts such mistaken measures in his attempt to -do business, will certainly lose the confidence of the man addressed, -for no sensible person can think otherwise than that the agent would say -exactly the same thing to a third and fourth customer as to the first -and second. Without doubt a customer has the right to feel sure that the -amount of his order and the price he paid for goods will not be made -known to any business competitor, and he certainly would be little -disposed to give his orders to an agent who shows a readiness to gossip -about the affairs of neighboring merchants.</p> - -<p>The commercial traveller who is wise will either avoid talk about -purchases made of him in the place where he is doing business, or will -say very little, always avoiding in this case the mention of details. -And this even when questions are asked about them, for, though they may -be pleased for the moment at having their curiosity satisfied, people -will, as a rule, look with suspicion upon the imprudent discloser of -other people’s business, believing, and not unjustly, that such a man -would manifest the same willingness to reveal their secrets to others. -Discretion in business matters will probably have its reward in the -esteem of others, which readily develops into their confidence.<a name="page_029" id="page_029"></a></p> - -<p>“Your Committee appointed to examine the claims of W.

The following is the gist of the -reports as finally adopted:—</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>“Your Committee on By-laws and Legislation make the following -recommendations: (1) Referring to the two letters of A. L. Foster, -of Ottawa, advise that the registrar be instructed to write him, -that there being no evidence before the committee that the -apprentice did indenture himself as stated it would be necessary -for him to send affidavits, duly sworn to by the apprentice and his -employer, Mr. J. W. McEachern, proving his cases, and that when -received we feel disposed to comply with the request. (2) In the -matter of Alfred Wilson, of Radcliffe Infirmary, and the -corroborative letter of Richard Bremridge, we recommend the -registrar be instructed to write to Mr. Wilson that if he can -produce to this Council satisfactory evidence that he is a -pharmaceutical chemist of Great Britain, he may register. (3) In -the case of W. S. McClintock, of Galva, Ill., we advise that the -registrar be instructed to write him that our by-laws prevent the -Council recognising his claim for registration, as he has failed to -pass on the subject of chemistry, and that at present there is no -arrangement for exchange of diplomas with the State Board of -Pharmacy of Illinois. (4) In the case of George B. Dingman, of -Buffalo, we find by the evidence submitted to your committee that -he is entitled to registration. (6) In the matter of A. W. Caton, -Owassa, Mich., we recommend the registrar be instructed to write -him that on payment of arrears due to this Council he may be -registered. (6) We recommend that the registrar be instructed to -notify Mr. Geo. M. Everist that his claim, made on behalf of R. E. -Sinclair, cannot be recognised, as Dr. G. M. Eastern is not a -registered pharmaceutical chemist. (7) The claim of Malcolm C. Rose -of six months’ service with Mr. Hazelton cannot be entertained, as -Mr. Rose’s apprenticeship contract was not registered. (8) In the -matter of W. A. Hargreaves, of Toronto, your committee would -recommend that the precedents established in similar cases are -according to the Act, and that we cannot comply with Mr. -Hargreaves’ request. (9) In the matter of J. H. Emery we are of -opinion that his apprenticeship, served in New York State, under E. -G. Watts, who is a regularly qualified pharmaceutical chemist of -Ontario, though resident in New York State, will count in the same -way as if served in Ontario.<a name="page_031" id="page_031"></a> (10) We have examined the claims of -Mr. J. C. Nicholls, largely based on the same grounds as others -referred to in the report of the Education Committee of last -February, and that like them Mr. Nicholls’ claim cannot be -entertained. (11) We recommend the application of J. J. Watson, of -Toronto, be granted, and that he be credited with the time from -January 7 to August 13, 1888, served with Mr. J. C. Hazelton.</p></div> - -<p>In concurrence with notice of motion served upon the Registrar and -members of the Council in accordance with by-law No. 20, we recommend -that the word “public” in by-law 3 in the sentence “act as public -prosecutor when so inserted by the chairman of the Infringement -Committee,” be struck out, as recommended by the Deputy Attorney General -in his letter of May 27. (2) That the phraseology of by-law 6 be changed -so as to read “Two auditors shall be elected by ballot by the Council, -said auditors shall not be members of the Council.” (3) That in by-law -13 we strike out the words “three years,” where they occur first in the -by-law, and insert in place thereof first the words “four years” and -after the words “pharmaceutical chemist” insert “and has attended two -courses of lectures first in any college of pharmacy or school of -medicine approved by the Council, the period occupied in attending these -first courses may be counted as part of the term of apprenticeship, and -the second or senior course at the Ontario College of Pharmacy such -course to comprise the following subjects, namely: Pharmacy, chemistry, -materia medica, botany and reading and dispensing of prescriptions, and -has attained the age of twenty-one years. This shall not apply to those -who are registered as apprentices prior to March 23rd, 1889.

The fees received amounted to $5,776. The -general conduct of the students was in all respects satisfactory. -The results of last examination show proficiency fully up to the -standard.</p> - -<p>“In submitting rules for the guidance of examiners the Committee, -among other alterations, suggested that the dispensing clause be -altered to the following: The dispensing of five prescriptions with -neatness, accuracy and despatch, labelling and furnishing medicine -as if designed for patients, the order in which candidates -dispensing desk is left and the cleanliness of utensils to be -rated.”</p></div> - -<p>The report was adopted.</p> - -<p>The report of the Committee re the Duties of the Board of Examiners was -also read. It contained the following:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>“We recommend the appointment of the following gentlemen as -examiners for the ensuing two years: Prescriptions, A. R. Fraser; -chemistry, B. Jackes; botany, C. R. Sneath; pharmacy, Frank Holman; -materia medica, D. S. Sager; dispensing, Wm. Murchison. We think, -in view of the<a name="page_034" id="page_034"></a> increased work devolving upon the examiners, their -remuneration should be increased, and advise that each examiner -shall receive, as addition to his present remuneration, a further -sum of 50 cents for each student exceeding the number of 50, who -shall be examined by him. We deem it advisable that By-law 13 be -amended by erasing the words ‘Professors of the College shall be -ex-officio members of the Board of Examiners, and shall act as -advisers,’ and that the latter clause of By-law 13 reading -‘Questions asked by examiners shall be published, and approximate -rating of the answers may be furnished to candidates, their -parents, employers or teachers,’ be struck out.”</p></div> - -<p>Mr. Sanders suggested that the report be taken up clause by clause. He -explained that a great difficulty experienced by the students was the -fact that the number of marks in subjects in which they failed was not -made known to them as in the subjects in which they were successful. The -Council had set up a standard which was a high one, and did not give an -opportunity to students of knowing to what extent they were deficient. -All the marks, he thought, should be published.</p> - -<p>The report was adopted after a brief discussion.</p> - -<p>The report of the Board of Examiners, containing the following, was also -approved.</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>“The number of candidates who presented themselves for examination -was 103. Of these 66 entered for all the subjects, 37 for those -subjects in which they had previously failed. With an experience of -an examination conducted under your proposed rules and regulations, -and more especially under that clause requiring that the written -part of the work of the examination be examined and completed in -the College building and before the examiners separate, we still -feel this work can be better and more satisfactorily done at home, -and would ask and suggest that such be allowed, and that the -examiners be allowed a week in which to return the papers to the -registrar; that a meeting of the Board be held before the final -result is published, as we understand this is the usual method -pursued by the examiners of the Medical College; that the -regulation regarding the number and value of written questions be -changed so as to read as formerly, and as appeared in the Journal, -namely, that the written questions be not more than four-fifths, -either in number or value, more especially in the subject of -prescriptions, when the value of the oral examination bears -directly on the ability of the candidate, and could profitably and -justly be enlarged to at least 50 per cent in value.”</p></div> - -<p>Mr. Andrew Jeffrey gave the following notice of motion for amendment of -By-law 12 to erase the following: “The professors of the College shall -be ex-officio members of the Board of Examiners, and shall act as -advisers, and that the latter clause of By-law 13, reading ‘The -questions asked at the examinations shall be published, and approximate -rating of the answers may be furnished to candidates, their parents, -employers, or teachers,’ be struck out.”</p> - -<p>On the motion of Mr. Watters the meeting adjourned at 3.45, to meet at 2 -p.m. on the first Tuesday in February, 1890.<a name="page_035" id="page_035"></a></p> - -<hr /> - -<p class="cb"> -<big><big><span class="sans">THE LONDON DRUG CO.</span></big></big> -</p><p class="c"> -LONDON, ONTARIO.<br /> -<br /> -<span class="sans">J.

Almost every person one meets has a -theory on the subject which, on investigation, will be found more or -less tinctured with selfishness. Admitting that clerks are not always as -affable as they should be, it is just as true, on the other hand, that -customers are often at fault in manners, and too frequently excite -similar shortcomings in those who are serving them for the time being. -Still, in the world of clerks, patience should never cease to be a -virtue, and a good salesman or saleswoman will never show a ruffled -temper even under the most trying circumstances. Next to affable manners -a cool head is of vital importance, for who likes to deal with fussy, -confused people, and when rapid work is necessary, as at the busy season -in large retail stores, the man or woman with a rather short supply of -nerves will generally come out ahead.</p> - -<p>Alertness and promptness are conceded requisites and obligingness a -positive essential. But the faculty most valuable in a salesman is that -of reading character, and if it is backed by ready adaptability and a -mind sufficiently well informed to cater mildly to discoverable -idiosyncrasies, so much the better.</p> - -<p>A salesman’s business is, of course, to sell goods, but it is equally -his duty to make the store a pleasant place for customers; and above -all, to make them carry away a feeling of perfect satisfaction with the -business they have transacted. This can be done without giving -overweight or over-measurement, which are nothing less than a betrayal -of trust, and as reprehensible as giving short weight and measure, the -odium of which must, in the nature of things, fall upon the employer.</p> - -<p>“Put yourself in his place” is an excellent guide to practice. A clerk -who considers what qualities and qualifications he would like in -employees were he, himself, an employer of men, and governs his conduct -accordingly, will not stray far from the right course. An employer who -can, in fancy, put himself behind the counter and view himself from the -clerk’s standpoint, will be vastly wiser and more successful in his -management, and customers who can imagine themselves in the salesman’s -place, and can comprehend the thousand and one trials they are subjected -to by careless and indifferent humanity, will, if they choose, be able -to save both themselves and the clerks an infinite amount of wear and -tear of nerve force, and at the same time, receive vastly more -satisfactory service.</p> - -<hr style="width: 15%;" /> - -<p>An English syndicate has subscribed $10,000,000 to establish extensive -iron and steel works at Vallejo, Cal.<a name="page_037" id="page_037"></a></p> - -<p> </p> - -<hr class="unov" /> -<p class="cb"><big><big>DRUG NOTES.</big></big></p> -<hr class="unov" /> -<p> </p> - -<p>We would call the attention of druggists to the advertisement of Major’s -Cement in our advertising columns.

I propose to go into some of the phenomena -of the art of buying in this issue and, if possible, portray some of the -obstacles in the way of the non-successful purchaser. There are two -prominent classes of successful buyers, which are subdivided into many, -but I intend to treat of these two only at this time, first among these, -and the most favoured is the one who has intimate knowledge of that -which he intends to buy, and who is thoroughly informed as to the best -goods to purchase; the prices; where they are from, etc. The second best -buyer is he who makes a great plunge among those from whom he intends -purchasing and endeavours to impress them with his importance as a -buyer, and his pretended knowledge of the subject on hand. This last -fellow is styled the bulldozer. As to which one of these two classes of -persons buy the closest and best there can be no dispute, the person of -knowledge is free and unfettered because he is on an equal or superior -footing to him from whom he intends buying, inasmuch as his information -gives him the necessary leverage. The second is in the power of the -seller because if a misstatement of fact is made, the purchaser is at a -disadvantage in not knowing whether it is fact or not, and he has to -rely upon his powers of depreciation and arraignment of the goods to -carry him to success.</p> - -<p>I remember once being in a merchant’s store and his tactics and manners -on that occasion created the impression, which has lasted up to the -present time, that he was the best buyer, or at least one of the best, I -ever met. I will tell you what he did and you can then see for yourself. -I walked in and awaited my turn; as soon as he was at leisure he came to -me, and telling me his name, asked me if I wished to see him personally. -I answered him I wished his attention,<a name="page_040" id="page_040"></a> and told him my business. He -said he was exceedingly busy and would like me to call again. I -specially requested his time for a short space, and he gave me five -minutes. I pulled out my watch and taking it off the chain laid it upon -the counter, open. I commenced to tell him about my goods, and as fast -as I could, dealt out the points respecting them. As the minute hand -crossed the point, and my time expired, I was in the middle of a -sentence, but I stopped abruptly and informed him “time was up.” He said -he was sorry he could not grant me a longer interview as he had an -engagement “but” said he, “I am interested in the information you have -imparted, and I want you to come and see me when I have time to listen.” -I promised I would, and did so. I went into all the details. I gave him -all the knowledge I had amassed by months of study of that one object, -and when I left him it was with a feeling of satisfaction that I had -been partly repaid for my labour in informing myself of the subject, and -that man at least knew enough to buy of that commodity intelligently.</p> - -<p>The great difficulty in the way of most merchants becoming good buyers -is because they are not satisfied to expend from three to five minutes -with a salesman when he comes into their stores in finding out his -prices, goods, etc., so that when the next one comes along if his prices -are below he can take advantage of it, but at any rate, I would suggest -the following to all merchants: Treat the salesman coming to your store -with courtesy, politeness, and consideration, and you may be sure you -will receive in return information that will repay you for the -expenditure. I am sorry to say a great many business men forget that a -compliment to their credit is paid to them when a man enters their -stores to solicit their trade. Then remember the “goods well bought are -half sold.”—[Review.</p> - -<p class="c"> <br /> -<img src="images/i040.png" width="300" height="28" alt="" title="" /> -</p> - -<h2><big><big>To the Trade.</big></big></h2> - -<p class="c"><big>JUST RECEIVED</big></p> - -<p class="c">A FRESH SUPPLY</p> - -<p class="c">Carlsbad Sprudel Salts</p> - -<p class="c"> -<span style="margin-right: 2em;">Small, per dozen, $7.00.</span> -Large, per dozen, $14.00.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="c">Carlsbad Sprudel Waters</p> - -<p class="c"> -<span style="margin-right: 2em;">Per case of 50 bottles, $15.00.</span> -Per dozen, $4.00.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="c">Æsculap Water</p> - -<p class="c"> -<span style="margin-right: 2em;">Per case of 25 bottles, $12.00</span> -Per dozen, $6.50.<br /> -</p> - -<p class="c"><big>Davis & Lawrence Co., Ltd., Montreal</big></p> - -<p class="c">SOLE AGENTS FOR CANADA.</p> - -<p class="c"> <br /> -<img src="images/i040.png" width="300" height="28" alt="" title="" /> -</p> -<p><a name="page_041" id="page_041"></a></p> - -<h2><a name="FILL_ORDERS_PROMPTLY" id="FILL_ORDERS_PROMPTLY"></a>FILL ORDERS PROMPTLY.</h2> - -<p>I was chatting a few days ago with a downtown stationer on the subject -of filling orders. Strange as it may appear, this merchant held the -opinion that the most pernicious, if not the most damaging, habit in -daily business was the lack of promptness in supplying what was ordered. -“To secure an order,” said he, “some men will promise anything and -everything. You may ask as a favor to have your order filled on the day -agreed upon, and he will promise faithfully that it shall be done. You -then make your arrangements and find that you cannot execute them. The -worst of it is that some of the men who make these promises are of -business repute. They mean well, no doubt, but I contend that they -should show more regard for their word and respect for other people’s -business.”</p> - -<p>These are somewhat severe words, yet they are probably warranted, -although the breach of faith complained of is not common. Business men, -as a rule, while anxious to obtain an order, are equally as anxious to -fill it, for the very obvious reason that the motive governing them in -the one case is the same which governs them in the other. The truth is -that in these competitive times everyone is desirous of doing all he -can, and hence he accepts orders with the belief that, barring accidents -or other unforeseen circumstances, he will be able to redeem his -promise. Of course the wilful promise breaker and his business, too, -regulate themselves, for if a man’s word is not to be generally trusted, -depend upon it his goods will not find a very extensive patronage for -any length of time.—[Stationer.</p> - -<h2><a name="A_PRACTICAL_SYSTEM" id="A_PRACTICAL_SYSTEM"></a>A PRACTICAL SYSTEM.</h2> - -<p>Some business men do a vast amount of work without any apparent effort; -they are rarely, if ever, rushed, and are seldom compelled to seclude -themselves from their friends on account of the pressing demands of -their business. Other people, who really accomplish very little, are -always in a hurry; they seem to have a dozen things to do at once, and -the result is, they are in a state of almost perpetual confusion, and -the little they accomplish is only done by the greatest difficulty. In a -very small country store perhaps a merchant can get along without any -system or method in conducting his business. He knows where everything -is in his stock, and can lay his hands on it at a moment’s notice, and -if a customer calls for it he can serve him without any very great -amount of trouble; but, on the other hand, if he is at the head of a -vast business, some great establishment, perhaps, in which there are a -hundred departments, it would be utterly impossible for him to keep -track of things without the most methodical arrangement throughout the -concern with which he is connected. Our great merchant leaves the -details of his business to subordinates, who are accountable to him that -everything goes right in the departments over which they are placed. -Some of the great establishments in our city employ thousands of men, -yet so perfect is the system that every man can be located at a moment’s -notice, and the closest watch can be kept upon the work which he is -doing. There is a system for receiving and shipping goods, a system for -keeping track of stock while in the hands of the producer or dealer; -there is a cash system, a system of bookkeeping by which a mistake of a -penny can be detected at the close of every day’s business.<a name="page_042" id="page_042"></a> It is only -by these wise and sensible precautions that a great business can be -carried on successfully. Thousands of losses, little and great, are -averted that would certainly occur did not this watchfulness prevail in -every department.</p> - -<p>A writer in the Detroit Free Press said not long ago that “there are -some occupations which compel those who follow them to be orderly and -methodical. There are none in which these qualities, where they have -been neglected, can not be cultivated to good advantage. Deficiency in -them is far from being a token of genius. It signifies something of -indolence and much that is slipshod. Every man knows whether or not he -is as orderly and methodical as he should be. If he is not, unless he is -too old to attempt the task, he should endeavour to improve in these -respects. There is no danger of his carrying it to that excess which -marks persons who have a passionate love of order, but there is a -likelihood that he will materially lighten his work, or find that he can -do much more than he has been in the habit of doing.”</p> - -<p>It seems to the Criterion that this is the keynote of a business man’s -success. No man who conducts his business in a slipshod manner can -expect to achieve desirable results. He should determine to be orderly -and methodical at the very commencement of his career. Order soon -becomes a habit with a business man, and by its observance he is enabled -to do a hundred things that it would be impossible to accomplish if he -did not go at them in the handiest and most effective manner.—[Grocers’ -Criterion.</p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="BRAINS_IN_BUSINESS" id="BRAINS_IN_BUSINESS"></a>BRAINS IN BUSINESS.</h2> - -<p>One secret of success in business—the secret, in fact, of success on a -large scale—is to conceive of it as a matter of principles, not merely -as a series of transactions. There are great merchants as there are -great statesmen, and there are small merchants as there are small -politicians, and the difference is very much the same in both -professions. The small politician works by the day, and sees only the -one small opportunity before him, the small merchant does the same -thing—he is looking for the next dollar. The statesman, on the other -hand, is master of the situation, because he understands the general -principles which control events; this knowledge enables him to deal with -large questions and to shape the future. The great merchant does the -same thing, his business is not a mere money-getting affair, not a mere -matter of barter, but a science and an art; he studies the general laws -of trade, watches the general condition of the country, investigates -present needs, foresees future wants, and adapts his business to the -broad conditions of time and place. He puts as much brains into his work -as does the statesman, and he ends by being not a money getter, but a -large minded and capable man. An eminently successful business man, of -statesmanlike quality, said the other day that the more he understood of -life the more clearly he saw that it was all done on business -principles. By which he meant, not only that the universe stands for the -dollar, but that the universe is governed by unvarying laws, that -promptness, exactness, thoroughness and honesty are wrought into its -very fibre. On these business principles all life is conducted, if not -by men, at least by that power which is behind man. It ought to be the -ambition of every young man to treat his business from the point of the -statesman, and not from that of the politician.<a name="page_043" id="page_043"></a></p> - -<hr /> -<h2><a name="DRUG_MARKET_REVIEW" id="DRUG_MARKET_REVIEW"></a>DRUG MARKET REVIEW.</h2> - -<p class="r"> -August 10, 1889.<br /> -</p> - -<p>Business for summer months has kept up very well, and for the past month -there have been no notable changes in value.</p> - -<p>Quinine is dull; there is a strong impression that quinine will not be -any lower; an upward move seems probable.</p> - -<p>Morphia and Opium, slightly advanced.</p> - -<p>In Camphor there is a large demand and a further advance probable.</p> - -<p>We were in error regarding duty being taken off tannic acid, it is only -free when imported by manufacturers for manufacturing purposes.</p> - -<p>Cubebs are dear and scarce, supplies are smaller every year.</p> - -<p>Cascara Sagrada has gone back to old prices.</p> - -<p>Pot Iodide and Bromide are unchanged.</p> - -<p>Fair demand for Insect Powder: prices unchanged.</p> - -<p>Mercurials are all higher.</p> - -<p>Oil Anise will probably be higher as the bulk of it has passed into the -hands of three holders.
