PROFIT IN DRUGsT~ Some Facts About the Apothecary's Business. The Extensive Use of Patent Medioines, Quinine, and Opium. Every member of the human family is more or less interested in the drug trade, which is one of the most important car ried on in the world. It employes hundreds of millions of dollars in capital, and affords thousands upon thousands of . .people a means of making an honest livelihood. With the view of learning something of the inside mysteries of a trade of such importance, a reporter for the New York Mail and Express visited a large drug store. The man of drugs was busily engaged in filling a prescription. When he was at leisure he said in answer to the reporter's query: "Now there is a compound that is composed of exactly four ingredients. One of these ingredients costs at wholesale exactly two cents, the second one cent, the third two cents and tho fourth three cents, making a total of eight cents." ' 'How much will you charge your customer for that prescription?" "Fifty-five cents." ? "A haidsomo profit?just 000 per cent." "Oh, yes; but then you sec, the customer pays forty-seven cents of the fiftyfive for my experience as an apothecary. Men in other professions do the same as vfe in this respect. For instance, a physician will look at your tongue and feel your pulse, demand a fee of from $2 to $5, according to the length of your purse and his standing in society. If he is a high-toned or fashionable doctor you may think yourself fortunate if you escape without being charged ifiore than $5. It is the samo with a lawyer. You visit his office, obtain his advicc in a simple matter, and occupy his time for about fifteen minutes. He wants you to pay $25 or $50. Now I have performed as much real service as either the doctor or the lawyer, and all the compensation I ask is the small pittance of fifty-five cents. We prefer the prescription busincss to selling patent medicines, because the former is the most profitable of the two branches of our trade." 4 kT O ' 2 ^ * * io urc duic ui puiuiiL meuicinea increasing or declining?" "I can reply to that question both in the affirmative and the negative. Patent medicines are like garments, they become fashionable and may go out of fashion. It is not always the best medicines that have the largest sale. A great deal depends upon the manner in which they are advertised and placed before the public. A. few years ago a man prepared a pain ^uajhilator. It was a sort of wash that deadened pain temporarily, but it was not a permanent cure. It was, in fact, injurious for it tended to produce paralytis. The proprietor advertised it far and wide. The name of the so-called remely appeared in the advertising columns )f all the newspapers. It was seen upon juildings, fences, and bill-buarus, in the jity and in the country. Turn which- j ^ sver way you would it stared you in the | lace. TJie proprietor made a fortune in a rery short time. His pain annihilator was known and used in almost every family. Like the Roman Empire it had its rise and fall. Now noboby thinks of using it. In fact it is not even manufactured or to be found in the market." "What drugs have the largest sale?" "Well, I may include in the list quinine, the various preparations of opium, calomel, arsenic, valerian, lavender and ?well I don't think you wish me to go through the entire catalogue." "Tell me something about quinine!" "Pills containing two grains of quinine sell at $1.50 to $2.00 per bottle of one hundred pills. The prevalence of malaria in almost all sections of the country during the past few years has caused an ^ immenRfi pnnciimnflnn nf ^ Ti ? VI ifiiio Ul'Ug. JLC has also afforded speculators a chanoe to make money by forcing the price up, and 4 they have not been slow in availing themselvcs of the opportunity." "By whom is opium mainly bought?" "By people of all classes. You would be greatly surprised if I should show you a list of my customers who are in the habit of purchasing this drug. I do not mean those for whom it is prescribed by physicians, but those who use it as regularly as they would tobacco. These llaves of the opium habit comprise lawyers, artifets, preachers, merchants, and all kinds of mechanics, tradesmen and laborers. Women as well as men are llaves to opium." "Do druggists as a rule become wealthy?" % "No. There are too many in the business. If the number of druar stores could be reduced one-half those who remained In the trade would stand a chance of making fortunes. As it is, the most of as have a hard task to keep our heads kbove water." Didft't Retaliate. "What is the trouble between you and Johnny Green, Jamie?"

He was a persistent little boy who told 88 his mother, who thought he was too young P to wear trousers, that "he would be will- ^ ing to go without pockets if he Only could Ig wear something that had legs." si A small boy, the son of a gifted clergy- ^ man in this state, was heard one night 1D addressing the following petition to his 01 Maker: "O God, please bless mamma, and please bless papa; but the less you ^ have to do with Aunt Marie the better. ^ Amen." di "Mamma, what does it mean when it ^ rc says, 4The shades of night were falling fast' ?"

Johnny (with a si groan)?"You ought to have stayed s< about an hour, and seen how he struck 81 me." 0 Dickens' Genius for Diligence. A friend of the great novelist, a man who had civen bromise of a nnhlp ? I BJ as an author, but who through indolcnce _ had failed in doing any permanent work, fr called upon him one morning and after n bewailing his ill success, ended by sigh- it ing: "Ah, if only I were gifted with genius!" Dickons, who had listened patier.t ly to the complant, exclaimed at once in w answer: "Genius, sir 1 I do not know what you mean. I had no geniuB save w the genius for hard work!" However ^ his enthusiastic admirers may dispute this, certain it is that Dickens trusted to M no such uncertain light as the fire of gen- [j ius. Day in and day out, by hard work, he elaborated the plot, character and dialogue of his imperishable stories. Whole a days he would spend to discover suitable localities, and then be able to give vivid- p] ness to his description of them, while, ft sentence by sentence his work, after at?- w , 1" B parent completion, was re-touched and B revised. The great law of labor makes y< no exception of the gifted or ignorant. ^ Whatever the work may be, there can be no success in it without diligent, unceas- 1 ing, persevering labor.?Baptist Weekly. l Extracting Teeth Willi a Pistol. ! Old Dr. Monsey extracted teeth by w fastening a strong piece of catgut securely to the tooth, to the opposite end of ra which he affixed a bullet. With this bullet and a full measure of powder, a jfj pistol was charged, and when the trigger tr was pulled, the operation was performed ti effectually and speedily. Once a gentleman who had agreed to try the novelty, 111 and had even allowed the apparatus to ' be adjusted, at the last moment ex- Etc claimed, "atop, stop, I've changed my & mind 1" "But I haven't, and you're a fool 2 and a coward for your pains," answered the Doctor, pulling the trigger. In an- S other instant the tooth wa* extracted, much to the timid patient's delight and astonishment. ?Scientific American, ; : . '? " f Why Bobby Went to Bed.

'Doctor, what's the matter with our people ! KOwadays. It seems to me that half tho peo- Pri meet have their livers out of order." I Re "Your estimate is a very light one," said tho 1 factor. "Probably 75 per cent, of the people no have livers which are not doiug their work ] fully and properly. You can see it for your- or elf on various degrees of signs on the skin or th< In the eyes. Notice it, all the way from the l Baffron-colored skin and evebnlls of tho thor- Mar oughly jaundiced victim of liver complaint to Go tho slightly-pimpled face of the young lady i whose waist is too tightly laced, and who is pr crowding her liver into such narrow quarters ] that it ha* not half a chance to work." po "What is the most Kcneral cause of what wo rz call liver complaint?" I "The causes," responded our eminent medi- bo cal friend, "are as many as the diversities of a, the disorder. Prominent among them you may on mention greasy food, lack of proper exercisc be and ventilation, and irregularity in eatinu. # The liver is a wonderful organ. It has to do re' its work in tho dark. No process of surgery *? can reach it while in the living body. Ail the blood must pass rapidly through it to bo ? cleansed of impurities. There are great tubes _ and small ones in the liver?some so exceedingly small that they cannot be seen except with the microscope. If any of these become clogged, there are at once some imperfections < in the grand system of filtration. When tho i liver is out of order, the bile goes astray and I wanders into the circulation, and tells its talo of mischief In the yellow tingo it gives the ekin. The healthy skin is rosy and life-like. The skin which has lost its rosy hue, and looks as if it had been tanned or was going to be, tells Its story of disordered liver and corrupted blood." L "But, doctor, you say that no surgical opera- ? tion can reach the liver. What is to be done with the 76 livers out of 100 which you say are -II I Jill uisuiucrvur "My dear sir, happily we do not need sur- I gery for this organ. There is a better and caster way of reaching the difficulty. You want to enrich the enfeebled and corrupted blood, and for that you need iron. You want | to administer atonic to the system and invite- I orate the liver, so to renew its diligence in the work of gifting the Impurities out of the blood. Of course, you know that thero are all sorts of . preparations which claim to do this work. But be careful what you use. There is a capital iron preparation which is made in Baiti- ? more, and is the best I know of, for it doo? its ] work without producing constipation or headache. The trouble with most of the iron preparations is that they do mischief in these directions. My position as a professional man I makes me careful in speaking of any proprie- ' tary article. But I may mention that this article is 'Brown's Iro:i Bitters.*" "Why, that's the great popular tonic that the people are all talking about."
