120 Report of Schimmel sj Co. April 1913. 



according to Albrecht's 1 ) statements, with an active immunisation), whereas the new 

 treatment in which the hay fever toxin is hypodermically injected by the medical 

 practitioner in carefully chosen increasing doses and at the proper season of the 

 year, represents the active form of immunisation. In Germany this treatment has been 

 tried by Ellern 2 ) and others, whose results showed a more or less pronounced improve- 

 ment in the majority of cases. Nevertheless, all the patients thus treated did contract 

 hay-fever, although some of them only had mild attacks. But seeing that in the 

 year 1912 patients who had not been treated by the new method, likewise suffered in 

 a lesser degree than in previous years, it is impossible as yet to pronounce a final 

 judgment on the merits of Wright's inoculation-method. 



Rose "Schimmel § Co." (Moss Rose). The great popularity which has been 

 extended to our speciality known as "red rose" in all expert circles has naturally 

 afforded us an inducement steadily to continue our investigations in the domain of 

 rose-scents with a natural basis. We have now placed upon the market an outcome 

 of these researches in the shape of a new product known as "Rose 'Schimmel 8} Co.' 

 (Moss Rose)". In taking this step we feel firmly convinced that to the series of rose- 

 aromatics at the disposal of the modern perfumer, desirous of reproducing the scent 

 of roses either in the form of an alcoholic or a non-alcoholic preparation, we have 

 added an article which must impress everyone who will try it carefully, by its delicacy, 

 the peculiar cachet of its aroma, and its fidelity to Nature. We may again lay stress 

 upon the fact that the natural basis of this article consists of the natural extract 

 (prepared by a special process) of our German roses grown here near Miltitz, and 

 that it is thereby favourably differentiated from competing productions bearing similar 

 names. We shall be glad to supply samples of this interesting novelty. No one 

 who is desirous of discovering really exquisite bases for modern rose-scents could 

 find more suitable preparations for this purpose than our two varieties of Rose 

 "Schimmel § Co.". 



Rose "Schimmel § Co." (Red Rose). We should be repeating ourselves too 

 often if we were again to give prominence to a description of the virtues of this 

 aromatic substance, which we have already praised on several occasions, and which 

 has made furore in all perfumery circles at home and abroad. Our sales of this 

 exquisite synthetic scent with a natural basis are incessantly growing, and this is the 

 most convincing proof that our repeated encomiums of the article, although to some 

 of our readers they may have appeared a little overdone, have in reality not been too 

 far-fetched. 



Safrol. Business in this article has again been very brisk. Cheaper raw material 

 having come to hand, it was possible again to reduce the prices somewhat, but they 

 have now reached a level which we may fairly describe as in all probability a stable one. 

 Our output is so great that we are able to deliver immediately any desired quantity. 



Tolu Balsam, which was so scarce last year, has gradually receded to a reasonable 

 limit of value under the pressure of plentiful supplies. Quite lately the downward move- 

 ment has received a check and we scarcely think that the prices will fall still further.
