WHERE SHE STOOD. 



The rush hour was nearly over, and yet the subway train was 

 crowded when it reached Astor place. Here entered a saleswoman, 

 who selected a place facing a grouchy man, who was trying to 

 read his evening paper. Clutching the strap she began to sway, 

 at the same time voicing her disapproval of existing conditions. 



"It's a shame!" she muttered. "Hopkinson-Smith is right. There 

 is no chivalry in New York. I've been standing on my feet all 

 day, and I've got to stand on my feet all the way home." 



The grouchy man shuffled uneasily. "Pardon me for contra- 

 dicting you, madam," he remarked, "but you happen to be stand- 

 ing on mine now." 



And she moved three straps further up. — New York Sun. 



BEGINNING OF THE ANTITOXIN SEASON. 



Pharmacists who have not already done so will be wise to order now their fall supplies 

 of diphtheria antitoxin. With the opening of the schools and the consequent inter- 

 mingling of large numbers of children there is always more or less demand for the serum, 

 particularly as the product is used extensively as a prophylactic as well as curative agent. 

 There is an advantage, too, in being early in the field, thus prolonging the antitoxin 

 season, which is ordinarily very profitable. Wisdom, of course, should be exercised in 

 the choice of the brand to be carried. The druggist is in business primarily for profit. 

 He should therefore choose a serum that is commercially staple, that has standing with 

 physicians, that is liberally advertised and detailed to the medical profession. Parke, 

 Davis & Co.'s Antitoxin meets these requirements quite as well, perhaps, as any serum 

 that might be suggested. It is produced in larger quantities than any other, is well 

 exploited in the medical journals, and is doubtless the brand that comes first into the mind 

 of the average American physician when he has occasion to place an order. In this 

 connection it is perhaps pertinent to remind the pharmacist that the Globulins of this 

 company's manufacture are coming into extensive use, and that a few packages might 

 well be included with his order for the regular serum. 



The H. K. Mulford Company, Manufacturing Chemists of Philadelphia, announce 

 the opening of their North Pacific Branch House at 307, 309 and 311 Third Avenue, 

 South, Seattle, Washington. 



To provide prompt and satisfactory distribution for their patrons in the North Pacific 

 territory, they have established a central branch house 307 to 311 Third Avenue, South, 

 Seattle, Washington. 



At the Seattle Branch there will be carried a complete stock of Biologicals embracing 

 Antitoxins, Curative Sera, Bacterins, Tuberculins, Vaccines, and Specialties. In addi- 

 tion thereto, there will be carried a large and complete assortment of standardized and 

 assayed pharmaceutical preparations. 



They are the pioneer pharmaceutical manufacturers to establish a Seattle Branch 

 House, which will enable their extending the best possible service to pharmacists in 

 Washington, Oregon and the immediate surrounding country. Customers purchasing 

 from the Seattle Branch will receive the same terms and discounts as though their orders 

 were sent direct to the Philadelphia Office. 1 he Mulford Company extend a discount of 

 40% on pharmaceuticals to druggists, and also have forms of contracts by which addi- 

 tional savings can be effected to their customers.
