IMPORTER  AND  MANUFACTURER  OF 
DRUGGISTS'  GOODS, 
No.  161  MAIDEN  LANE,  New  York, 
Galls  the  attention  of  Druggists  and  Physicians  to  his 
ANHYDROUS  TiARD, 
The  most  perfect  BASE  as  yet  discovered  for  Ointments,  Pomades,  etc.  This  lard  is  abso- 
lutely pure,  it  contains  no  water  and  no  impure  matter  of  any  nature  whatsoever,  and  will  keep 
in  any  climate  without  becoming  rancid.  It  is  of  a  firm,  solid  consistency,  and  well  adapted  to 
the  uses  of  the  Druggist  and  Physician,  who  are  invited  to  examine  it. 
The  following  letter  is  from  a  practical  chemist  who  has  tried  it : 
MR.  F.  K.  EDWARDS.— Deae  Sir:  "Having  occasion  to  prepare  a  considerable  quantity  of 
Ointment,  in  which  a  Salt  of  Lead  is  added  to  the  melted  Lard  at  an  elevated  temperature,  I 
obtained  a  perfectly  smooth  unguent  without  any  chemical  change.  This  satisfied  me  the  Lard 
was  anhydrous,  for,  as  all  chemists  know,  if  water  had  been  piesent  even  in  small  quantities,  a 
reaction  between  the  Fatty  Acids  and  the  Lead,  and  consequent  liberation  of  Glycerine  (or  in 
other  words  saponification),  would  have  been  the  result."  Very  truly, 
(Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  Nt»s    >.  l«78.)  R.  K.  SMITHER.
