Office  of  ALBERT  M.  TODD,  Distilling  Chemist,  Nottawa,  Mich.,U.  S.  A. 
To  Pharmacists  and  the  Medical  Profession  : 
Your  attention  is  respectfully  invited  to  the  quality  of  the  products  of  my  laboratory, 
and  to  the  fact  that  they  are  now  obtainable  through  the  leading  wholesale  houses  of  America 
in  origiual  sealed  packages,  suitable  for  the  requirements  of  your  business  and  profession. 
All  of  these  products  are  submitted  to  a  special  and  improved  process  of  steam  rectification  by 
the  use  of  apparatus  invented  and  controlled  by  myself,  by  which  a  quality  is  produced  here- 
tofore unobtainable.  By  my  system  of  steam  rectification  no  direct  heat  is  applied  to  the 
refining  stills,  distillation  being  effected  by  the  diffusion  of  fresh  steam  generated  at  a  distance 
therefrom.  The  scorching  of  the  oils  and  the  consequent  formation  of  any  empyreumatic . 
product  is  thus  rendered  impossible.  The  volume  of  steam  and  the  consequent  force  of  distillation 
is  regulated  by  valves  under  perfect  control  of  the  operator.  By  careful  attention  to  fractioning 
and  the  force  of  distillation,  any  foreign  products  resulting  from  careless  cultivation  and  dis- 
tillation is  eliminated,  including  also  the  insoluble  and  non-volatile  resinoids  which  are 
deposited  in  the  bottom  of  the  distill,  and  separated. 
Your  attention  is  invited  to  the  fact  that  these  refined  essential  oils  have  the  following 
valuable  properties : — They  are  absolutely  pure ;  they  exhale  the  most  perfect  aroma  of  the 
plants  from  which  they  are  produced ;  they  are  perfectly  soluble  in  spirits,  making  a  clear 
solution  without  filtration;  they  are  perfectly  volatile,  white  and  limpid,  and  of  the  greatest 
strength.  The  following  essential  oils  are  thus  refined :— Oil  of  Peppermint,  Oil  of  Erigeron,  Oil 
of  Spearmint,  Oil  of  True  Fireweed,  Oil  of  Tanzy,  Oil  of  Gold,en  Rod.  Attention  is  also  requested  to 
Pipmenthol,  which  valuable  crystalloid  is  now  offered  in  glass  stoppered  ounces  for  the  conven- 
ience of  the  trade,  price  81.00  per  oz. ;  and  for  popular  use  in  the  form  of  the  Pipmenthol  Inha- 
lant, $2.00  per  doz.  The  "Crystal  White"  essential  oils  are  put  up  in  bottles  containing 
respectively,  one  pound,  eight  ounces,"  and  four  ounces. 
I  wish  to  thank  the  drug  trade  and  the  medical  pro- 
fession for  the  generous  encouragement  which  they  have  Jg&g^^^s^ 
i  given  in  my  efforts  to  advance  the  standard  of  quality  in  ' 
( essential oils.notwithstandingwhich,  however  new  forms! 
of  adulteration  are  constantly  springing  up,  requiringthe' 
most  watchful  care.      Very  respectfully  yours. 
ALBERT  M.  TODD.
