were the claims of the manufacturers a.s 

 to the amount of nicotine. However, the 

 price did not vary according to the per- 

 centage of nicotine claimed to be in the 

 remedy. Why this difference! Did a 

 thirty per cent nicotine preparation con- 

 tain other valuable material to justify its 

 selling for more than a forty per cent 

 nicotine preparation! 



Analysis of Remedies. 



There was one way to find out about 

 some of these things and that was to 

 analyze them, which I proceeded to ar- 

 range for. This work is in progress and 

 I will call your attention to some com- 

 pleted results. 



The insecticides so far as analyzed, 

 with one exception, were ammonia free. 

 The XL All vaporizing compound con- 

 tained camphor in addition to nicotine, 

 while the liquid preparation of the same 

 name, and intended for spraying, con- 

 *ained one-tenth the amount of nicotine, 

 vith soap or oil. 



We learned of a substance which is
