PERFUMES FOR THE HOLIDAY TRADE. 



While druggists cannot do very well without an assorted stock of perfumery of all 

 sorts, domestic and foreign, for which a demand has been created with the public, the 

 fact remains that the profit derived from their sale is not at all satisfactory to most deal- 

 ers. This class of goods is expensive; a good deal of money is invested in the stock 

 which does not turn often during the year, and in order to make the perfumery depart- 

 ment profitable it is necessary to put up and display a certain amount of one's own 

 preparations on which the profit is satisfactory. 



Druggists as a rule do not possess the experience necessary to produce perfumes, 

 handkerchief extracts, toilet waters, face creams, applications for the hair, etc., of the 

 quality fragrange and lasting quality demanded by the public, and if they did, they could 

 not begin to make these goods profitably if they were compelled to start with first 

 principles, pomade washes, essential oils, synthetic perfumes, etc., a variety of which is 

 required and a quantity which must necessarily be bought of each to obtain supplies at 

 proper figures. 



Lehn & Fink have had on the market for a number of years a line of concentrated 

 perfumes which only require dilution with cologne spirits and in the case of toilet 

 waters, with cologne spirits and water, to produce excellent products of great beauty 

 and lasting power. These products, Absolute Essences and Floral Essences, are not 

 an experiment, but have been in successful use for a number of years by many druggists 

 who by their use have been able to make their own perfumeries and to build up their 

 perfumery department to a very profitable branch of their business. 



Handkerchief perfumes of one's own make can be put up in square cut glass bottles 

 and when tied over with beaulruche skin or split skin, nicely finished with ribbon, make 

 a very creditable appearance alongside of the French goods and can be sold in such 

 bottles and even of larger size at the same price but at a much better profit than foreign 



goods. 



Lehn & Fink are ready to mail their "Absolute Essences booklet" to druggists on 



request. 



PURE ETHER FOR ANAESTHESIA AT LOWER PRICES. 



Government regulations now permit the manufacture of Ether from 

 Alcohol on which no internal tax is levied. The Mallinckrodt Chemi- 

 cal works announce that they are offering their pure Ether for Anaes- 

 thesia as well as other Ether preparations, at much lower prices 

 than heretofore prevailed. The Ether sold by the M. C. W. for 

 surgical inhalation is marketed under the caption "Ether for Anaes- 

 thesia." This Ether they manufacture from the purest grain Alcohol, 

 under the supervision of skilled and experienced chemists and it is 

 especially tested and selected to meet the requirements of surgeons 

 for an Ether of the highest attainable purity and uniformity. It con- 

 tains even a greater percentage of pure ether (Ethyl Oxide) than the 

 Pharmacopoeia requires and is a superior article in every particular. 

 It is advisable for pharmacists and physicians when ordering Ether to 

 specify "M. C. W." Ether for Anaesthesia, in order to prevent any 

 confusion with the other grades they supply. The Mallinckrodt Ether 

 for Anaesthesia is put up under a white label with the words "For 

 Anaesthesia" printed in red, while all of their other grades are sold 

 under a blue label.
