A NEW USE FOR ACETANILIDE. 



The fact has recently been brought to our attention that Acetani- 

 lide, as strange as it may seem, has been found to be an excellent 

 preservative for Hydrogen Peroxide. It has always been a difficult 

 matter with manufacturers to find some harmless substance which 

 would have the property of retarding the decomposition of this prep- 

 aration and the use of Acetanilide is no doubt largely responsible for 

 the great improvement which has been made in preparations of 

 Hydrogen Peroxide, during the last two years. In consequence of 

 this improvement, its field of usefulness will no doubt become much 

 broader, both in the hands of physicians and by the laity, as a general 

 antiseptic. Solutions of Hydrogen Peroxide should not be unduly 

 exposed, but the bottles should be kept well stoppered to prevent organ- 

 ic matter getting into them and they should be stored during the hot 

 summer months in a reasonably cool place. 



AS BOLD AS ANY. 



They were just coming out of the theatre after seeing a perform- 

 ance of "When Knights Were Bold." "Oh, George," sighed the ro- 

 mantic maiden, "how I wish you were one of the old-time knights so 

 that you could do something brave to show your love for me." 



"What more do you want?" asked George. "Haven't I agreed to 

 marry you, and me only getting $io a week?" — Tatler.
