and I will send to you in their care, free of all charges, two (2) boxes Rudy's Pile Suppositories, which retail at 50 cents each, with free samples, a neat metal sign, etc. They are now sold and recommended by over 5,000 druggists in this country, so you need not hesitate to place confidence in them.

Brown's Bronchial Troches.-The title "Bronchial Troches" was established as a trade-mark by John I. Brown & Son in 1856. Making or selling lozenges under the name of "Bronchial Troches" is a violation of this trade-mark, which has been sustained by the courts in numerous cases.

Dealers are cautioned against selling infringements on Brown's Bronchial Troches, which are sold only in boxes (25c, 50c and $1.00) with the fac-simile of John I. Brown & Son, Boston, Mass., the proprietors, on the outside of box.

The Standard Non-collapsible Nipple is the outcome of a great deal of experimenting and study on our part, and we respectfully call your close attention to its merits. It is an absolutely pure gum nipple, therefore will not cause stomatitis. The spur running down center of nipple prevents any collapsing and answers for teething pad as well. The nipple will stand repeated boiling, and can be readily turned inside out, etc. Made in two sizes, $4.00 per gross, or 35c per dozen.

The Purest Type of the Purest Whiskies.-While physiologists and theorists are still engaged in threshing over the pros and cons as to whether alcohol is a food or not, practical therapeuts, the practitioners of medicine, are almost unanimous in the declaration that the stimulant effects of alcohol exert a power for good in certain forms of disease, and in certain conditions, possessed by no other substance whatever

Practitioners, in English-speaking countries at least, are also practically an unit in recommending the employment of pure and properly aged whiskies as the best form in which an alcoholic stimulant can be exhibited in the great majority of cases, and in prescribing these whiskies (spiritus frumenti) in place of the French brandies (spiritus vini gallici) of a former generation.

American whiskies are broadly divided into those made from rye alone, or with an admixture of other small grains the so-called rye whiskies, and those from grains in which Indian corn predominates, the bourbons. The rye whiskies, when new, are richer in amylic alcohol than those made from corn, a fact which, while it necessitates a longer period of ageing, insures a product richer in bouquet, aroma, flavorin fact, all that goes to make up the ideal stimulant. As a type and representative of this superb class of whiskies, the "Hunter Baltimore Rye" stands preeminent and unrivaled. Made from the choicest of select grain, and distilled under every precaution insuring a pure product, it undergoes an ageing of ten years before it is bottled, thus securing perfection of flavor and bouquet. It is pre-eminently the whiskey for the druggist to handle and to recommend to his patrons as the ne plus ultra for medicinal use. The "Hunter Rye" affords a good profit and insures the satisfaction of customers.-[National Druggist, St. Louis.

A Memorial to American Microscopists.-The following letter explains itself and we trust will meet with a prompt response from all of our readers who are interested in microscopical work:

DEAR SIR:-At the annual meeting of the American Microscopical Society held in New York City during the last week in June, the especial attention of the society was directed toward the Spencer-Tolles fund. As you may be unfamiliar with the movement, permit us to state its history briefly as follows:

After the death of Charles A. Spencer in 1881 and Robert B. Tolles a few years later, it was deemed fitting that a sum should be raised to provide a proper memorial to the father of American microscopy and his distinguished pupil, as a tribute due their services to the scientific world. The first notice of the movement was sufficient to bring, unsolicited, from the Royal Microscopical Society of London, a contribution for this purpose. Additional sums subscribed by the members and others, together with the natural increase under the careful management of the Custodian, have brought the sum to a total at date of $756.00. The recent death of Herbert R. Spencer, the last of the three famous American workers, to whose efforts toward the perfecting of microscopic objectives the entire scientific world is so deeply in. debted, serves as the immediate impulse of this movement toward the enlargement of the fund to a point at which its income may be sufficient to encourage in some way the advancement of science It is accordingly desired that this tribute to the Spencers, father and son, and to their co-worker, Mr. Tolles, should be increased at once to the sum of at least $1,200.00, in order that the income therefrom may be offered each year, under proper conditions, as a reward for or assistance toward some scientific work or investigation of suitable character.

To this end the undersigned were appointed by the society to lay the statement before you, to ask your co-operation individually in the effort to increase the fund, and to solicit such contribution toward that end as you may deem it fitting to make. We believe that the object will appeal to every one who is called upon to use the microscope in any capacity whatever, and contributions will be welcomed from all. If you can assist, please make remittance to Mr. Magnus Pflaum, custodian of the Spencer-Tolles Fund, Bakewell Law Building, Pittsburg, Pa., who will at once return proper receipt for the same.

The committee would especially urge upon members of this Society not only that they make early response in the way of contributing to the fund, but that each bring the matter to the attention of local societies or of persons likely to be interested in the movement and secure their contributions as well.

In case you should desire further information regarding the matter any member of the committee holds himself in readiness to serve you.
