Bronze  Latin  Labels  for  Shop  Furniture. — For  some  months  past, 
the  Committee  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  on  Latin  Labels, 
have  been  engaged  in  getting  out  a  new  edition  of  the  work,  with  an  entirely 
new  form  of  labels,  which  they  expect  to  be  ready  for  delivery  in  the  present 
month,  (January).  The  book  will  contain  about  180  sheets  or  leaves  bound 
together,  and  embracing  more  than  1600  labels,  of  five  different  sizes,  fo:* 
drawers  and  bottles.  They  are  done  in  bronze  on  steel  blue  paper  by  a  new 
process,  which,  while  it  increases  the  beauty  of  the  labels,  prevents  the 
bronze  from  rubbing  off.  The  Committee  have  endeavored  to  make  this  the 
most  correct  edition  yet  published,  and  as  it  embraces  more  than  400  more 
labels  than  the  last  edition,  it  merits  the  attention  of  pharmaceutists  and 
druggists.    For  further  information  see  the  advertising  sheet.
