PRENTISS' 
DRUGGISTS'  ALCOHOL  RECLAIMER 
AND  EXTRACT  APPARATUS. 
This  apparatus  which  has  been  pronounced  by  many  scientific  gentlemen  the  best  pharma- 
ceutical still  ever  introduced,  is  made  in  the  most  accurate  manner,  of  tinned  copper  with  brass 
fittings.  It  consists  of  a  boiler  A,  with  an  opening  fuur  inches  in  diameter  at  the  top.  A  tubular 
column  B,  one  foot  hiuh,  soldered  to  a  plate  which  is  screwed  into  a  fitting  in  the  opening  of  the 
boiler  A,  and  has  a  removable  screw  cap  upon  its  upper  end.  A  connecting  pipe  C  ;  a  condenser 
D,  with  an  inlet  for  watar  at  E,  and  an  outflow  for  the  same  at  F.  Also  a  spout  G  for  the  outflow  of 
the  distillate.  The  diaphragms  1,  2  and  3.  In  figure  2  the  set  of  diaphragms  No.  1  is  shown  in 
place  in  the  column. 
SPECIAL  ADVANTAGES. 
Being  made  with  screw  joints,  prevents  any  escape  of  vapor,  and  renders  it  very  easy  to  set 
up  or  take  apart.  No  packing  or  luting  is  necessary.  The  worm  being  flat,  only  nine  inches 
long,  and  perfectly  smooth  inside,  can  be  cleansed  by  simply  steaming  for  a  few  minutes,  and 
then  rinsing  out.  The  diaphragms  atomize  the  vapors,  and  in  reclaiming  alcohol  greatly  facili- 
tate the  raising  of  the  degree  of  strength.  In  making  medicated  waters  from  the  drug,  half  an 
ounce  can  be  worked  as  readily  as  a  large  quantity.  The  smallest  size  will  distill  half  a  gallon 
of  water  per  hour. 
It  is  made  in  two  sines — No.  1  with  boiler  capacity  of  nearly  one  and  a  half  gallons,  and  No.  2 
with  three  gallon  boiler.   Price  of  No.  1,  $16.00;  No.  2,  $18.50.   No  charge  for  packing.
