but when only a fractional part of the can is wanted the price is $1 per 
pound. 
The 1-pound cans are sold to wholesale dealers at the rate of $115.20 
per gross, less 15 per cent, discount; these are sold to the retail dealers 
at the rate of $9.60 per dozen, and these dealers sell them to consumers 
at, the rate of $1.25 per can. 
The 10 ounce cans are sold to wholesale dealers at the rate of $63 
per gross, less 15 per cent, discount; the wholesale dealers sell them to 
retail dealers at $5.25 per dozen, and the latter charge the consumers 
75 cents per can. 
The 2-ounce cans are sold to wholesale dealers at the rate of $18 per 
gross, less 15 per cent discount.; the retail dealers pay $1.50 per dozen 
for these cans and sell them to consumers at the rate of 25 cents per can. 
The company also puts up a small sample box of the Buhach, which 
is mailed to all applicants free of charge. 
The company has two different kinds of instruments for distributing 
the dry Buhach powder. One of these is called an “ insufflator,” and 
somewhat resembles a tin oil-can, such as is commonly used for oiling 
sewing-machines, but the distributing tube is placed low down on one 
side, while on the upper side is a tube, open at both ends and projecting 
into the can ; this tube contains a piston which, when pushed down- 
ward, throws the Buhach out of the distributing tube in a fine shower, 
while a spring again pushes the piston upward in its proper place as 
soon as the pressure from above has been removed. This instrument is 
held in one hand and the piston is operated by the thumb of the same 
hand. It is intended for distributing the Buhach in places where only 
a small quantity of it is required. 
It was formerly constructed with an opening in the piston leading 
into the interior of the insufflator, through which the latter was filled 
with the Buhach, the opening being afterwards closed with a tight-fit- 
ting cork ; but an improvement has lately been made by having nearly 
the whole bottom in the form of a screw-cap, like that on glass fruit- 
jars, which can be removed by being unscrewed ; by this arrangement 
the insufflator can be filled much easier and quicker than by the old 
way. 
The present price of this insufflator is 25 cents each. 
The second instrument, referred to above, is intended for distributing 
the dry Buhach in large quantities. It consists of a tin can somewhat 
resembling a common lard-can holding 5 pounds of lard. In the lower 
part of the can, upon one side, is an opening, iuto which the nozzle of a 
small hand-bellows is inserted, while on the opposite side, also near the 
bottom of the can, is a smaller opening, leading info a spoon-shaped 
nozzle on the outside. This nozzle is furnished with a slide, so arranged 
as to regulate the quantity of the buhach that is forced through it by 
the bellows. The top of the can has an opening 4 inches in diameter,
