placed upon the market in the hope that it will bring relief to many hay- 

 fever patients who, in spite of all precautions, were unable to obtain really 

 good results from the previously available Pollantin-preparations. 



After prolonged experiments Prof. Dunbar has been successful in dis- 

 covering an effective mode of administering Pollantin as a remedy in the 

 exceedingly troublesome form of asthma which afflicts certain patients in 

 the later stages of hay-fever. His process consists in compressing the 

 finest sifted Pollantin-powder, together with sugar of milk and a suitable 

 binding-material, in the form of tablets, which are slowly dissolved in 

 the mouth. Numerous patients to whom we have sent samples of the 

 the remedy for trial report that the tablets have afforded them the desired 

 relief, but before we place the preparation upon the market we desire to 

 collect further opinions, and we shall be pleased to place experimental 

 samples at the disposal of the medical profession, and to receive reports 

 on their therapeutic action. 



We desire once more to inform our customers, and in particular the 

 pharmacists among them, that we are prepared to receive old tins of liquid 

 Pollantin bearing control numbers below 153 in exchange for fresh serum, 

 and we therefore request them to look out such numbers, if any, from 

 their stocks, and to send them to our Branch Office. Upon receipt the 

 new tins will be forwarded by return. In reply to numerous enquiries we 

 may add that, as powdered Pollantin has unlimited keeping quality, it 

 cannot be exchanged. 



Rose "Schitnmel § Co." (Red Rose). The success of this speciality 

 exceeds our highest expectations. We are able to say without exaggeration 

 that no novelty of the past decade has been received by the manufacturing 

 perfumery-trade with anything like the acclamation which has been be- 

 stowed upon this article: our sales-book is the best witness of this 

 assertion. The extension of our rose-plantations which has been carried 

 out last autumn was mainly determined by our growing requirements 

 of the natural rose-extract, which, as is well-known, forms the basis of 

 the preparation, and to which the manufactured article is chiefly indebted 

 for its excellence. It is to be hoped that last year's crop-failure will be 

 followed, this season, by a normal output, so that we may be in a position 

 to prepare enough te meet the demand. 



Safrol. When, in the course of last summer, the large supplies of 

 camphor oil received by us had been for the greater part used up, we 

 w^re able to reduce the price of safrol somewhat. After this we concluded 

 most important contracts for delivery, which shows once more that our 

 manufacturing capacity is planned on a scale which enables us to meet 

 all competition at home or abroad. As always, the United States has 

 been the principal consumer, considerable quantities of safrol finding a 

 market in that country for all manner of purposes. In view of the general
