The prescriptions Nr. 3 and 10 can also be used, applied on 
pads of cotton wool, for the treatment of metritis. 
We have undertaken the sole rights of sale of ''Libanol Boisse" 
for Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, the United Kmgdom, the United 
States of America, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Norway. Mr. Boisse 
states that his factory is now arranged in such manner, that several 
thousand kilos can conveniently be produced, and that there is now 
no longer any fear of an interruption in the supply, such as un- 
fortunately occurred a few months ago. 
According to a note in the "Chemist and Druggist" the essential 
oil of the Atlas cedar has been further examined by P. Boisse. 
The most important result of his examination is that the oil contains 
about 16 per cent of a sesquiterpenic alcohol, which agrees very well 
with the statement (16,6 ^/q) made by us on a previous occasion 2). 
Oil of Cherry Laurel, The manufacturers have lately shown 
themselves very accommodating, and are thereby enabled to dispose 
of a large part of the accumulated stocks. On the whole, the con- 
sumption of this oil, which used to be so much in demand, has 
considerably decreased. We supply the oil also free from hydro- 
cyanic acid. 
Cinnamon Oil, Ceylon. According to information from the 
German Consulate at Colombo, Germany is now unquestionably the 
largest market for cinnamon, having outstripped the United Kingdom 
for the first time. The production has practically remained the same, 
but Germany's share as a consumer has grown from year to year. 
The total exports were 
Cinnamon quills 2764851 lbs. 
chips 1 521 149 „ 
The shipments to the various countries were made up as follows: 
Cinnamon quills Cinnamon chips 
Germany 869932 lbs. 6 19 941 lbs. 
United Kingdom 812280 „ 238658 „ 
America 358300 „ 27837 „ 
Spain 3 10 162 ,, 86500 „ 
Italy 178700 „ 153 104 „ 
Belgium (partly for Germany) 109200 „ ^ 79 855 „ 
The value of fine cinnamon chips for oil distillation is slightly 
lower. Our quotations for the finest, heavy, sweet cinnamon oil have 
been correspondingly reduced.
