What the Editors Say.

"The Druggist and His Profits," the new book by Harry B. Man, has everywhere been received with great enthusiasm. Here are what a few of the drug journals have had to say about the volume:

Mr. Mason was a pioneer in this work, and he has rendered a great service to every druggist in the country.-The Apothecary.

The volume is a most timely one, and if carefully stadied and followed will be worth a great deal of money to hundreds of druggists who are now running their stores on the old, comfortable idea of ease and ignorance, depending entirely on luck or fortune, good trade or bad trade, to lead them to prosperity or disaster, and who have not the slightest idea toward which they are tending. The over-satisfied druggists who have no time to read trade journals or business books should purchase this volume and ask their wives to read it to them. They will find it the best investment of the year.-The Spatula.

This book first tells how, by a simple system of records, easily kept, a druggist may arrive exactly at his percentage of gross profit, his percentage of expense, and his percentage of net profit. It next tells him how to apply this knowledge in the detailed and systematic improvement of his business.-F.A. R. D. Ballet

Mr. Mason has devoted ten or twelve years to the subject of cost and profit accounting, and this book is in answer to the question "How to know your peta and expenses, and how to use this knowledge in your business." We are re that if any one will conscientiously follow the instruction given, be will not only become a better pharmacist, but he will be able to show a larger bank balance at the end of the year.-Pharmaceutical Era.

This book is valuable because it not only points out defects, but suggests remedies which are practical and should appeal to the common sense of any business man.-Druggists Circular.

In the plethora of commercial "literature," we rank Harry B. Mason's staff as about the best from the standpoint of practical applicability to drag-stre requirements. We are glad that he has been considerate enough to put his material in the get-at-able form of a single volume. Every point and individual phase of the druggist's daily operations, bearing on the important question of profits, is discussed briefly but comprehensively. Errors are pointed out and erections offered. We commend the book with the assurance that it is worth mach more than the dollar spent in its purchase.-Canadian Pharmaceutical Journal

Mr. Mason treats his subject in a clear and practical manner. He strates his points with actual instances. He points out clearly why many druggists are not making money and offers excellent advice toward the reforms they need Some of the author's figures may seem exaggerated, but their accuracy is vooched for. This little book will, indeed, open the eyes of every druggist to unthought of possibilities and unsuspected leaks.-N. A. R. D. Journal

Statistics show a very high percentage of failures among druggists. The first
step necessary to improve this condition is for the druggist to learn just where he
stands financially. A study of Mr. Mason's interesting volume will point the way
for the druggist to do this with the smallest possible expenditure of effort. The
author is to be congratulated upon having made in this book a valuable contribution
on a subject of vital importance to every retail pharmacist.-American Druggiat

Harry B. Mason, the able and versatile editor of the BULLETIN OF PHARMACY,
has written a most useful and valuable book on "The Druggist and His Profits,"
which should be in the hands of every retail druggist. There is no one in the
United States more competent to deal with this theme in a practical, commot
sense way. Mr. Mason has made a special study of the subject and has treated
it in a simple yet masterly style that makes it very entertaining as well as in-
structive and helpful.-Voice-Salesman.

Is there any doubt that every retail druggist needs this book?
