A Warning.
Pain is given for the wise purpose of inform-
ing us of the resence of danger and disease.
Any little excitement of an unusual nature
disturbs the balance of the system, the ner-
vous energies are exhausted, and headache
and a hundred other disturbances are the re-
sult. Many of the miseries of modern man
and womanhood might be cured and prevent-
ed were their approach heeded and resisted,
having their origin in derangements of the
liver and blood, dyspepsia, jaundice, indiges-
tion, costiveness and other unwholesome con-
ditions. Evils of a diseased nature find a cer-
tain cure by the use of Colden Seal Bitters. In
this medicine, nature, aided by art, has pro-
duced a rare combination of medicinal prop-
erties, wisely adapted for the cure of diseases
common to mankind. The vitilizing principles
embodied in Golden Seal Bitters will assuredly
cure the broken down dyspeptic. Sold by Haz-

CUSHMAN’
MENTHOL INHAL
Quickly relieved by Cushman’s Menthol
Inhaler when all others fail. How is that
possible? Because by inhalation the very
volatile remedy is carried directly to the
delicate net work of nerves in the nose and
head, and applied directly to the nerves, and
so rapidly assimilated that quick relief is
obtained. It will last six months to one
year, and the last grain is as potent as the
first inhalation. You will find it sells rap-
idly. Retail price, 50c.

The Cry of the Dreamer.
Iam tired of planning and toiling,
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart weary of building and spoiling,
And spoiling and building again.
And I long for the deur old river,
Where I dreamed my youth away;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in aday.
I am sick of the showy seeming,
Of a life that is half a lie;
Of the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by,
From the sleepless thoughts’ endeavor,
I-would go where the children play;
For a dreamer lives foreyer,
And a toiler dies im a day.
I feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure.
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
Oh, the little hands too skillful,
And the child mind choked with weeds!
The daughter’s heart grown willful,
And the father’s heart that bleeds!
No, no! from the streets rude bustle,
From trophies of mart and stage,
I would fly to the woods’ low rustle,
And the meadow’s kindly page,
Let me dream as of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream alway ;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day,
—John Boyle O'Reilly.

EPISODE OF A NOTION PEDDLER.
A cold winter’s night found a strange load
of us gathered about the warm fire of a bar-
room in a Northern Michigan village. Short-
ly after we arrived a notion peddler drove
up and ordered that his horse should be
stabled for the night. After he had eaten
supper, he repaired to the bar-room and as
soon as the ice was broken conversation flow-
ed freely. Several anecdotes had been related
and finally the peddler was asked to give us
a story, as men of his profession were gener-
ally full of adventure and anecdote. He
was a short, thick-set man somewhere about
forty years of age, and gave evidence of
great physical strength. He gave his name
as Lemuel Vinney, and his home was at
Grand Rapids.
‘Well, gentlemen,” hecommenced, knock-
ing the ashes from his pipe and putting it
in his pocket, ‘‘suppose I tell you of about
the last thing of any consequence that hap-
pened to me. It was about two months ago,
one pleasant evening I pulled up at the door
of a small hotel in a village in Hancock
county, Indiana. I said it was pleasant; I
meant it was warm, but it was cloudy and
likly to be very dark. I went in and called
for supper and had my horse taken eare of,
and after I had eaten I sat down in the bar-
room. It began to rain about 8 o’cloek, and
for a while it poured down hard, and it was
very dark outdoors.
*‘Now, I wanted to be in Jackson early
the next morning, for I expected a load of
goods there for me, which I meant to dis-
pose of on my wayhome. ‘The moon would
rise about midnight, and I knew that if it
did not rain 1 could get along very comfort-
ably through the mud after that. So I ask-
ed the landlord if he would see that my
horse was fed about midnight, as 1 wished
He expressed some sur-
prise at this, and asked me why 1 did not
stop to breakfast. I told him that I had
sold my last load about all out, and that a
new lot of goods was waiting for me at
Jackson, and I wanted to be there for them
before the express agent left in the morn-
ing. There was a number of people about
while I told this, but I took little notice of
them, one man only attracting my attention.
I had in my possession a small package of
placards which I was to deliver to the sher-
iff at Jackson, and they were notices for the
detection of a*notorious robber named Dick
Hardhead. These bills gave a description
of his person, and the man before me an-
swered very well to it. In fact, it was per-
fect. He was a tall, well-formed man, rath-
er slight in frame, and had the appearance
of a gentleman, save that his face bore those
hard, cruel marks which an observing man
cannot mistake for anything but the index
of a villainous disposition.
“When I went up to my room I asked the
landlord who that man was describing the
suspicious individual. He said he did not
know him. He had come there that after-
noon and intended to leave sometime during
the next day. The host asked me why I
wished to know, and I simply told him that
the man’s countenance was familiar, and I
wished to know if I had ever been acquaint-
ed with him. I resolved not to let the land-
lord into the secret, but to hurry on to Jack-
son and there give information to the sher-
iff, and perhaps he might reach the inn be-
fore the villain left; for I had no doubts
with regard to his identity.
“Tt had an alarm watch, and having set it
to give the alarm at1o’clock. I went to
sleep. Iwas aroused at the proper time
and immediately got up and dressed myself.
When I reached the yard I found the clouds
all passed away and the moon was shining
brightly. The hostler was easily aroused
and by 2 o’clock I was on the road. The
mud was deep and my horse could not trav-
el very fast, yet it struck me that the beast
made more work than was any need of, for
the cart was nearly empty, my whole stock
consisting of about half a dozen tin pans
and a lot of loose rags.
‘However, on we went, and in the course
of half an hour I was clear of the village,
and at a short distance ahead lay a large
tract of forest, mostly of great pines. The
road run directly through this wood and, as
near as I can remember, the distance was
not far from twelve miles. The moon was
lo the east and, as this road run _ nearly
west, I should have light enough. I had
entered the wood and had gone, perhaps,
half a mile when my wagon wheels settled,
with a bump and a jerk, into a deep hole.
I uttered an exclamation of astonishment;
but that was not all. I heard another ex-
clamation from another source!
“What could it be? I looked quickly
around but could see nothing, and yet I
knew that the sound I had heard was very
close tome. As the hind wheels came up I
felt something roll or tumble from one side
to the other of my wagon and I could also
feel the jar occasioned by the movement.
It was simply a man in my eart! I knew
this on the instant, You may have noticed
my cart as 1 came up this evening. The
main part of it opens behind, and there is
room enough within for quite a party, pro-
viding they’d stow themselves close enough.
Of course I felt puzzled. At last 1 wonder-
ed if some poor fellow had not taken this
method to obtain a ride. But I soon gave
this up, for I knew that any decent man
would have asked me for a ride and taken
it comfortably. My next idea was that
somebody had got in there to sleep. But
this passed away as quickly as it came, for
no man would have broken into my cart for
that purpose. And that thought, gentle-
men, opened my eyes. Whoever was in
there had broken in.
om} next thoughts were of Dick Hard-
head. He had heard me say that my load
was all sold out, and of course he supposed
Ihad some money with me. And in this
he was right, for I had over $2,000. I also
thought that he meant to leave the cart when
he supposed I had reached a safe place, and
then either creep over and shoot me or knock
me down, or, perhaps, slip out and ask for
a ride, or something of that sort, All this
passed through my mind by the time I had
got a rod from the hole.
‘**Now, I never make it a point to brag of
myself, but yet I have seen a great deal of
the world, and Iam pretty cool and clear-
headed under difficulty. In a very few mo-
ments my resolution was formed. My horse
was now knee deep in the mud, and I knew
I could slip off without any noise. Sol
drew my revolver—I never travel in that
country without it—it is a six-barreled one
and sure fire. I drew this, and having
twined the reins about the whipstock, I
carefully slipped down in the mud, and as
the cart passed on I went behind it and ex-
amined the hasp. The door of the cart lets
down, and is fastened with a hasp which
slips over a staple, and is then secured by a
padlock. The padlock was gone, and the
hasp was secured in its place by a bit of
pine stick, so that a slight push from with-
in could break it. My wheel-wrench hung
in a leather bucket on the side of the cart,
and I quickly took it out and slipped it into
the staple, the iron handle just -sliding
down.
“Now Lhad him. My cart was almost
new, with a stout frame of white oak, and
made on purpose for hard usage, heavy
loads, and. service. I did not believe that
any ordinary man could break out. I got
onto my cart as noiselessly as 1 got off, and
then urged my horse on, still keeping my
pistol handy. I knew that at the distance
of a mile further I should come to a good
hard road, and allowed my horse to pick
his own way through the mud. It was
about 10 minutes after this that I heard a
motion in the cart, followed by a grinding
noise, as though some heavy force were be-
ing applied to the door. This continued
some moments, and then eame a heavy
thump, as though the sole of a boot were
applied to the door. I said nothing, but
the idea struck me that the villain might
try to judge about where I sat and shoot up
through the top of the cart at me, so I sat
down on the footboard.
“Of course I knew now that my unex-
pected passenger was a villain, for he must
have been awake ever since I started, and
nothing else in the world but absolute vil-
lainy would have caused him to remain
quiet so long and then start up in this par-
ticular place. The thumping and pushing
grew louder, and pretty soon I heard @ hu-
man voice.
** ‘Tet me out of this!’ he cried, and he
yelled pretty loudly.
“*T lifted my head up so as to make him
think that I was sitting in my usual place,
and then asked him what he was doing in
there.
** ‘Tet me out and [ll tell ye,’ he replied.
‘**Tell me what you’re in there for,’ I
said.
‘* *T got in here to sleep on ‘your rags,” he
answered.
‘**How’d ye get in?’ I asked.
‘etme out, or I'll shoot ye through
the head,” he yelled.
“Just at that moment my horse’s feet
struck the hard road, and I knew that the
rest of the route to Jackson would be good
going. The distance was twelve miles. I
slipped back upon the footboard and took
the whip. I had the same horse then I’ve
got now; a tall, stout, powerful bay mare,
and you may believe there’s some go in
her. Atany rate, she struck a gait that
even astonished me. She had had a good
mess of oats, the night was cool, and she
felt like going. In fifteen minutes we clear-
ed the woods, and away we went at a great
pace. The chap inside kept yelling to be
let out, and threatened to shoot if I didn’t
let him out. Finally he stoppedy and in a
few moments came the reports of a pistol,
one, two, three, four, one right after the
other, and I heard the balls whiz over my
head. IfI had been on my seat one of
those balls, if not two of them, must have
gone through me. I popped up my head
again and gave a yell and then‘a deep
groan, and then I said, ‘O, save me! I’m a
dead man! Then I made a shuffling noise,
as though I were falling off, and finally set-
tled down on the foot-board, I now urged
up the old mare by giving her an oceasional
poke with the butt of the whip, and she
went along faster than ever.
‘The man called out to me twice more
pretty soon after this, and as he got no re-
ply he made some tremendous endeavors
to break the door open, and as this failed
him he made several attempts upon the top.
But [had no fears of his doing anything
there, for the top of my cart is framed in
with dovetails and each sleeper bolted to the
the posts with an iron bolt. I had it made
so that I could carry heavy loads there.
By-and-by, after all else had failed, the
scamp commenced to holler ‘whoa’ to the
horse, and kept it up until he became
hoarse. All this time I kept perfectly quiet,
holding the reins firmly and poking the
beast with the whip.
‘He wasn’t an hour going that dozen
miles—not a bit of it. I hadn’t much fear;
perhaps I might tell the truth and say that
I had none, for I had a good pistol, and,
more than that, my passenger was safe; yet
I did feel glad when I came to the old
flour-barrel factory that stands at the edge
of Jackson village, and in ten minutes more
I hauled up in front of the tavern and
found a couple of men cleaning down some
stage horses.
***Well, old feller,’ says I, as I get down
and went round to the back of the wagon,
‘you’ve had a good ride, haven’t ye?’
***Who are you?’ he eried, and his voice
trembled a little, too, as he asked the ques-
tion.
‘**T am the man you tried to shoot,’ I told
him.
‘“**Where am I? Let me out!’ he yelled.
‘**Look here,’ said I ‘we’ve come to a
safe stopping place, and mind ye I’ve got a
revolver ready for ye the moment ye show
yourself. Now lay quiet.’
‘By this time the two hostlers had come
to see what was the matter, and I explained
it all to them. After this I got one of them
to run and find the sheriff, and tell him
what I believed I'd got for him. The first
streaks of daylight were now just coming
up and in half an hour it would be broad
daylight. In less than that time the sheriff
come and two other men with him. I told
him the whole story in a few words, exhib-
ited the hand-bills I had for him and then
he made for the cart. He told the chap in-
side who he was and that if he made the
least resistance he’d be a dead man. But,
mind you, the sheriff didn’t tell him the sus-
picions we had about him. Then I slipped
the iron wrench out, and as I let the door
down, the fellow madea spring. I caught
him by the ankle and he came down on his
face and in a moment more the officers had
him. He was the very man I had suspect-
ed and his fine black clothes were pretty
yell eovered with lint and dirt. He was
marched off to the lockup, and I told the
sheriff I should remain in the town all day.
‘*After breakfast the sheriff came down to
the tavern and told me that I had caught
the very bird; and that if I would remain
until the next morning I should have the
reward of $200 which had been offered. I
found my goods all safe, paid the express
agent for bringing them from Indianapolis,
and then went to work to stow them away
in my cart. I found the bullet-holes in the
top of my vehicle just as I expected. They
were in a line, about five inches apart, and
had 1 been where I usually sit two of them
would have hit me somewhere about the
small of the back and passed upward, for
they were sent with a heavy charge of pow-
der, and his pistol was a heavy one.
‘*The next morning the sheriff called up-
on me and paid me $200 in gold, for he had
made himself sure that he had got the vil-
lain. After an early dinner I set out, and
here am. IT’ve sold my load all out and
am now ready to lay up for the winter. I
found a letter in the office at Portsmonth
for me, from the sheriff of Hancock county,
and he informed me that Mr. Hardhead is
now in prison for life.”
So ended the peddler’s story. Inthe morn-
ing I had the curiosity to look at his cart,
and I found the four bullet-holes just as he
had told us, though they were now plugged
up with vial corks. Vinney came out while
I was looking and showed me the prints of
the villain’s feet upon the cart. They were
plain, and must have been given with great
force.

The Future of Oleo.
From the New York Market Journal.
Considerable curiosity prevails in regard
to the prosperity of oleomargarine when the
new law shall take effect. The question,
plainly stated, is, when people know what
they are buying, will they take oleoniarga-
rine? Opinions differ; some profess to be-
lieve that the articie cannot stand upon its
merits, but will die a speedy death, while
others, who are unprejudiced and who have
equal opportunities for forming correct con-
clusions, reason something as follows: Oleo-
margarine must now be nationally recogniz-
ed as a legitimate article of trade which may
be as openly and honorably dealt in as lard,
butter or molasses. Its former patrons, such
as boarding houses, restaurants, ete., will
continue to buy it and increase in numbers.
It will be kept in stock by any merchants
who have never before handled it, and being
easily obtainable, its general consumption
may naturally be expected to rapidly in-
erease. No product of modern times has
been so extensively advertised as oleomargar-
ine. The national controversy, both ‘here
and in Europe, in regard to its merits, as
compared with butter, have widely educated
the public in regard to them. Maultitudes of
reading people have been made aware, by
the printed statements of scientific men of
high character, that the two products
were equally wholesome and nutritious, and
that, by the exercise of the three senses—
sight, smell and taste—it is difficult even
for experts to distinguish the one from the
other. But probably the greater demand
for the article will come less from the read-
ing and wealthy people, than from the work-
ing classes, who will be influenced by price.
Many of the latter have now a vague -pre-
judice against it from the attacks made upon
it, which they do not fully understand. If,
however, the quality of the oleomargarine
put upon the market is kept at a high stand-
ard of purity and excellence, and proper
measures are taken to enlighten the public
in regard to it, these prejudices will soon
pass away, and its use become popular and
extensive, We have much mistaken the
character, enterprise, energy and resources
of the manufacturers and dealers in oleo-
margarine and its kindred products, if, un-
der the present condition and prospects of
the industry, they sit quietly down and per-
mit themselves to be squelched.

Organization Notes.
THE TRADESMAN requests secretaries of
local associations to send in full reports of
all meetings, and other association news,
for publication.
L. N. Fisher, the Dorr general dealer, re-
cently called at Tor TRADESMAN office to
say that he was determined to have an as-
sociation at his place.
The first notification sheet of the M. B.
M. A. was issued November 1 and has been
forwarded to all local associations entitled
to the valuable information conveyed there-
in.
The Sparta Business Men’s Association
meets Thursday afternoon for the purpose
of receiving the Lisbon merchants into the
fold, as the latter cannot get away in the
evening.
Sparta Sentinel: The Sparta Business
Men’s Association at their meeting last
week, decided to close their stores at 7:30
p. m. each evening except Saturday, when
they will close at 8 o’clock.
The Chicago Commercial Bulletin re-
prints from THE TRADESMAN the constitu-
tion of the Ada Business Men’s Association,
prefacing the same with the following com-
plimentary remarks: ‘‘It is a new compila-
tion, the result of great experience on the
part of its authors, and is a model that can
be profitably copied, with any alteration
rendered necessary by local circumstances,
by any new organization of similar views
and purposes. Wereproduce this document
not only as an answer to various subscribers
requesting information on the subject but
as the best possible exposition of the ends,
and the means of accomplishing the same
of their business men’s associations.”
President Hamilton writes as follows:
“1 am actually surprised at the course or-
ganization is running. It is a big field to
cover, even now, and what it may result in
is beyond telling. Our efforts in the work
are certainly apparent to even the little vil- |
lager in the remotest corner. I feel that
Northern Michigan ought to be coming into |
line a little faster, and if you feel that I|
could render any service in that line will |
gladly coincide with your suggestion, made |
some time ago, relating to my going out on |
missionary trips similar to your own. L
feel that personal contact would throw
much light upon the subject for me and |
stimulate further action.” |
2 >
Candy is in good request and prices are |
steady. Chestnuts are scarce and higher. | |
New figs are in better supply and a little |
lower in price. The quality of best grades |
is fine. Bananas are plenty and cheap. |
Only Jamaica oranges are in market and’
prices are about the same. Floridas will soon
arrive and promise a good crop. Lemons
are good and cheap. Foreign nuts are|
steady. Peanuts are a shade lower. The
new crop is said to be good.
President Hamilton has addressed the fol-
lowing Jetter to the presidents of the various
local Assvciations:
TRAVERSE Crry, Novy. 1, 1886.
DEAR Sin—I would be very glad to have
your reply upon some points connected with
your local essociation work. We are desir-
ous of ascertaining the good accomplished
by each union, and, too, errors as well, that
we may at our next meeting adopt the one
and discard the other. I also want to ask
you to make any suggestions to me relative
to local or State work, now or at any future
time. Be kind enough, if you will, to forward
a set of blanks and constitution used by
your association, stating if they meet your
wants and in which direction they have pro-
duced the best results, viz., by effecting set-
tlements or by preventing the solicitation of
credits. Nearly all the organizations at first
went to extremes, ours was conservative,
others too radical; we aimed rather to cur-
tail all credits and I hope that will be the
battle ery at our March meeting. Do you
admit members outside of the mercantile
line?
What other class of work has your asso-
ciation accomplished. We have secured re-
ductions in freight, opened a lecture field,
secure a good enterprise and have other
projects on foot. Where do you favor hold-
ing our next meeting? Have you joined the
State Association? Hoping to hear from
you, I am yours truly,
FRANK HAMILTon. |

DRUG QUOTATIONS IN LATIN.
How They are Regarded by the Trade.
1886.
28,
GRAND Rapips, Oct.
Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN:
DEAR Sir e hope by all means. that
you will permanently adopt your new de-
parture in giving drug quotations in Latin.
It has many advantages to recommend it.
Druggist are more familiar with the Latin
names than the English, because their labels
are all, or nearly all, in Latin. The few
names in the list not generally known by
the Latin name can be learned quickly from
the U. S. D., and that is an argument in its
favor, as druggists will, in many cases,
learn the Latin name to some drugs they
never happened to learn the Latin name of
before. Wecan think of some other ad-
vantages too obvious to mention.
Welcome the new departure, say we.
Very respectfully,
O. H. Ricumonp & Co.
ITS VALUE TO THE APPRENTICE.
1886.
GRAND RaApips, Oct. 29,
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: |
Dear Sin—Your valuable paper came to
hand as usual this week and I notice the
drug quotations are in Latin. This is a
moy in the right direction and one which
any practical druggist ought to approve.
‘The apprentice who has been in a drug
store, say two, three or six months, will
probably not know the meaning of this or
that word and will turn to his Dispensatory
for an answer. He will then find the En-
glish word: also the German, French and
Spanish translation. It will thus prepare a
student to become thordughly acquainted
with the names of the drugs written in dif-
ferent languages and know their meaning
and what they are at sight.
Yours respectfully, |
THEO. KEMINK.
BETTER THAN EVER.
GRAND Rapips, Nov. 2, 1886.
E, A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
DEAR SrR—You have done a good many
good things for the drug trade, but you
never did us a better service than when you
changed your drug quotations into Latin.
Your journal was worth all it cost before
the change. Now it is worth twice its
price. Yours truly,
Wii. L. WHgre.
A COOPERSVILLE OPINION,
, COOPERSVILLE, Oct. 27, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
Dear Smr—I suppose your price list of
drugs is for the especial benefit of druggists.
That being the case, 1 see no objection to
the medical name being used instead of the
common name. Very respectfully,
C. E. BLAKELEY.
FROM THE FREEPORT HERALD.
THE MicuiGan TRADESMAN now gives
its drug quotations in Latin. This is a de-
sirable feature and wil! demand a more gen-
erous support of that excellent publication
from the drug trade.
PORK IN GREEK,
Chas. S. Robinson, the well-known pro-
vision traveler, says the drug quotations in
Latin are ‘‘no good,” and that unless the
thing is stopped he will see to it that pork,
and hams are quoted in Greek.
FAVOR THE CHANGE.
J. Q. Look, of Lowell; 8. E. Young, of
Edmore; and Dr. John Lamoreaux, of Lake-
view—all well-known druggists—favor the
oe from English to Latin.

Are Druggist Benefited by Local Associa-
tions?
“Sam Bucus”’ in Nashville Drugman.
I say that they are, and I think that.every
reasonable man wili agree with me in this
assertion. The advautages derived from
such associations are many and varied. In
the first place, we are all engaged in the
same calling and it naturally follows that
whatever affects one in a general way must
affect the others, more or less, and does it
not seem more like the proper thing that we
should pull together, rather than that each
should pull in a different direction? By
our meeting together once or twice a month
we become acquainted with each other, we
rub off the rough corners, and-will soon be-
gin to regard our neighbor more in the
light of a friendthanan enemy. When you
become well acquainted you will be surpris-
ed how often you will find yourself thinking,
“Well, my neighbor Jones is not half so bad
a fellow as 1 thought he was; I really like the
man since I have cometoknowhim. Can it
be true that he said all the ugly things about
me that Brown told me he said? He don’t
seem to me now to be that kind of a man.
I hated to let that dollar bottle of medicine
go at 75 cents and lose that quarter, for
times are mighty dull and rents do not come
down any, but Brown said Jones would sell
it to him at that, but he would rather buy it |
of me, if I would let him have it at the same
price.”
The next bottle of medicine Brown wants
he goes to Jones’ store and calls for it. He
asks what is the price of it. He knows as
well as you do, but asks the question as in-
nocently as if it was the first bottle he had
ever seen. Jones tells him the price is one
dollar. ‘‘Holy Horrors! One_ dollar?
Why your neighbor only asks me 75 cents
for it. You druggists must make an awful
profit on your medicines. I do all my trad-
ing with you, but I see I will haveto change
houses, if this is the way you treat your
friends—want .to make your living off of
them, do you?” as though you could expect
to make it off your enemies. He is your
enemy, the worst one you have, because by
his misrepresentations to you, he is beat-
ing you out of your just profits and causing
hard feelings to spring up between you and
your neighbor, with whom you are not well
acquainted. °
Now, by coming together in our local
associations, we learn to know each other
better; will feel more kindly toward each
other; can tell Mr. Brown ‘‘I know what
you are saying about my neighbor is not
true, for I have his word that he will not
sell medicine for less than it is marked to
sell at.” We will feel more like brothers
than enemies.
The cutting of prices does not do any of
us any good. It does not create any greater
demand for the medicines—we do not sell
any more by it. If you cut the price your
neighbor will soon hear of it, as in the case
cited above, and will of course meet it.
You seldom gain a customer by it, because
the parties who run from store to store will
not be satisfied if you should sell them
goods at half their real value. They would
want to go to another store next time,
thinking they would do still better. By
cutting we only lose the profit that we all need
so much and should be laying up now es-
pecially, and you cause your neighbor to do
the same.
An evening spent once or twice a month,
or even oftener, in attending your local
meetings, I think could be made both pleasant
and profitable in more ways than we would
at first imagine. By writing short essays
on our mode of making the different pre-
parations of the pharmacopeeia, or any other
subject that may suggest itself, and by par-
ticipating in the discussions that come up
from time to time, we can improve ourselves
in writing and composition, learn to speak
without embarrassment, and to express our
thoughts in intelligent and proper language.
Many of us are young men; do not let us on
that account be at all backward in express-
ing ourselves on any and all subjects that
come up. What one says may suggest
something to another that he perhaps would
never have thought of. If we go wrong,
then we have the council of older heads
with us, who can set us on the right track
again by giving us the benefit of their age
and experience. I think every town with
three or more drug stores should organize a
local association and think they would soon
find it pleasant as well as profitable to hold
their meetings regularly and let every mem-
ber make it his special duty to be present at
these meetings. I also think that the mem-
bers of all the local Associations should be-
come members of the State Association, and
by their attendance at meetings of the same
help to make it a grand suceess and an hon-
or to our State.

Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society.
Thursday evening marks the close of the
second year of the Grand Rapids Pharma-
ceutical Society and the beginning of a third
year under very auspicious circumstances.
The year just closed has not been with-
out incident, but the organization enters
upon a third year stronger in point of mem-
bership and influence than at any period in
its history.
Frank J. Wurzburg, “who has faithfully
served the Society as President since its
inception, feels impelled to relinquish the
position to some other member, as the duties
devolving upon the position of President of
the M. S. P. A. require all his spare time.
Frank Escott, who has written Secretary
after his name for two years, is likely to be
retained for a third term, as he has executed
the duties of the office in a satisfactory man-
b
‘ Quinine Pills.*
“Query No. 26. What is the best excip-
ient (1) for uncoated quinine pills, (2) for
such are to be gelatin-coated?
Much has been written in regard to excip-
ients for pill masses, and the efforts made
by nearly all writers is to find a single ex-
cipient which will meet the requirements of
all cases. Little or no information has
been advanced by pill manufacturers with a
view of enlightening the benighted. pharma-
cist. In an attempt to answer this query
the writer can speak with the experience,
both, of the benighted pharmacist and the
mai _icturer, having made uneoated pills
for stock, and also gelatin-coated pills for
market. Under the light of such exper-
ience, I regard the question of excipients as
a very simple one. In the matter of quinine
pills, the best excipient I have ever found
for uncoated pills, after trying all which
have been recommended by others, is sim-
ple syrup, U.S. P. When used alone it
makes a soft plastic mass, which is easily
rolled out and hardens in a short time. The
pills can be kept for any length of time
without impairing the solubility. Uncoated
pills of quinine after having been kept fora
year in my dispensing department have been |
found to show their effect on the system
when taken, as quickly as quinine adminis-
tered in powder. A number of test cases
having been tried to prove it. Iam satis-
fied in offering it as a conclusion. If the
dispenser desires a small pill, combination
of about five per cent. of po. tartaric acid
with the quinine before adding the excip-
ient will give an entirely satisfactory result
without impairing the therapeutic effect of
the pill. In either case the syrup should be
carefully added in small quantities with a
free use of the pestle. The mass works up
easily, and when the operator thinks from
the granular appearance of the same, that
it needs just a few drops more to give it the
proper consistence, if, instead of adding
more he will knead afew minutes longer,
and then take the mass in his hand it will
soften and become plastic and be ready to
roll out in good shape. The pills when
made will retain their form nicely. The
presence of any excess of syrup gives a re-
sult which is unsatisfactory. Section two
of the query is answered by stating that the
same excipient gives the best result in all
eases. It has been my custom to add 60
grs. of po. gum arabie to every ounce of
quinine employed, to give a greater adhes-
iveness to the mass. When it is intended
to coat the pills, larger masses are usually
made at one operation, and the gum arabic
seems to give a mass which will hold its
plasticity for a longer time. Glycerin
should nevere be used as an excipient for
any pill which is to be gelatin coated, and
is not satisfactory for uncoated pills. On
general principles simple syrup can oftener
be used as an excipient for pill masses than
any other substance which has come under
my notice, especially for pills which. are to
be gelatin coated.

Muskegon Drug Clerk’s Association.
MvuskrEGon, Oct. 21, 1886.
The first regular meeting in Oct. was held
at the Arlington on the 13th inst., with a
fair attendance. Owing to the lateness of
the hour before a quorum could be formed,
the regular routine of business was. tran-
sacted and aside from the appointment of
W. E. LeFevre and D. A. Schumacher to
prepare papers, to be read four weeks from
date, nothing of importance was done and
the meeting adjourned.
The second and last October meeting was
held the 27th, all the members being pre-
sent excepting one. The President called
the meeting to order and appointed E. C.
Bond as critic. After the reading of the
minutes of the last meeting, the following
subjects were submitted:
No. 1. Does the process of decolorizing
Tr. Iodine lessen the effect of the prepara-
tion.
No. 2. Does a tineture derive all the vir-
tues of the drug from which it is made?
No. 3. What is the difference between oil
cinnamon and oil eassia?
The questions formed the chief topic of
discussion during the meeting. After ap-
pointing O. A. Lloyd, and T. Hoyt to pre-
pare papers to be read four weeks from date,
the critie’s report was heard and the meeting
adjourned.
The next meeting will be held Nov. 10.

From the Guntown, N. M., Special.
The postmaster here died a year ago and
much trouble has been experienced in find-
ing anew one who would be satisfactory
and competent. At length the people con-
clud@d to petition for the appointment of
Sim Duff, who keeps a saloon here. As
the request for Duff's appointment was al-
most unanimous it was supposed that he
would get the place, but after a whilea gro-
cer named Beebe was appointed. That
made everybody mad. To get even with
all hands the citizens held a meeting and
put up a job which was some time in com-
ing toa head. One day last week old Her-
rick Price, who used to live in ‘Tennessee,
drove up in front of Beebe’s place, and
yanked a young wildeat out of his wagon.
- The beast was frisky and ugly, but appar-
ently not dangerous. On his collar was a
card bearing the address:
To the President of the United States froni
the grateful Democratic citizens of Gun-
town, N. M.:
A natural curiosity. Democratic from tip to
tip. Feed him and treat him gently. He is
used to luxury.
Pulling the beast into the postoffice, old
man Price asked what the postage on him
would be. Beebe opened a book and pre-
tended to read. At length he stammered
out something to the effect that it would
probably be about 10 stamps. Price bought
the stamps, stuck them on the cat’s collar,
and turned him over to the postmaster, with
an injunction to be careful of him.
That afternoon when the mail carrier
came along he refused to take the animal.
Beebe swore that he should, whereupon a
fight ensued, and while it was in progress
the wildcat got mad and.ran into the gro-
deposed Beebe, and commissioned Duff as
postmaster. He said it was a choice of
evils, but that in a town like this it was
necessary to have a man who knew the dif-
ference between fourth-class matter and live
stock. When the wildcat in the bag reach-
ed Santa Fe nobody would touch the beast,
and at length, on the advice of citizens, the
mail carrier threw the whole. outfit into a
cistern, from which the bag and the defunct
wildeat were fished the next morning.
Duff is now doing the honors here for the
United States government, and everybody
is happy except Beebe.

Better be Definite.
From the Detroit Free Press.
A Detroiter who was working across one
of the northern counties with a horse and
buggy this summer, met a farmer on foot
and asked him how far it was to Greenville.
“Which one?” was the query, after half a
minute spent in reflection. -
“Why I didn’t know that there was but
one Greenville.” «
‘‘Didn’t you? There’s one in South Car-
olina, a second in Kansas, a third in Ohio
and a fourth in Iowa. Which one do you
want to go to?”
“The nearest one.”
“Well, that’s about seven miles off. Next
time you inquire for Greenville you better
name the State. Got any tobacco?”
’ “°Which tobacco do you want?”
“Why, I didn’t know as there was more
than one tobacco.”
“Oh, yes there is. There’s plug tobacco,
fine cut, shorts and smoking. Which do
you want?”
“Wall, I'll take plug.”
“T haven't got any. Next time you in-
quire for tobacco you'd better mention the

mal’s demeanor that intimacy with him was
not safe. By this time the town was on the
outside watching the fun.
At length they hit upon the plan of put-
ting a big leather mail bag near the cat with
a piece of meat in it. The plan worked to
perfection, and a few minutes later the
crowd in front had the pleasure of seeing
the driver and Beebe emerge, carrying the
bag containing the compliments of the citi-
zens of Guntown. To simplify matters
Beebe had attached to the bag a card on
which the mail carrier had written:

When the bag had been deposited in the
wagon and the driver had whipped up his
horses and vanished, the citizens called on
