FROM what we have observed, the life of a dentist seems to be just a daily grind.-Philadelphia Inquirer. How MUCH MONEY ARE YOU MAKING?-It sometimes happens that because a druggist is able to meet his obligations regularly and because he has a fair stock on his shelves he thinks that he is making money. He doesn't know, though. It may be that his apparently successful position is due to the fact that he is living on his capital-in other words, he is keeping afloat by gradually depleting his stock. R. W. McCready Cork Company, CHICAGO, ILL. Harry B. Mason's latest book, "The Druggist and His Profits," shows a druggist how to find out exactly what his business is producing. It tells him how to know what his business now yields, how to know what it should yield, and how to make it yield what it should. By a simple system of records, easily kept, it is explained how the druggist may learn the exact facts about his expenses and profits, and then it is told how this information may be used to bolster up the earnings in every department of the store. If you don't know exactly what your business is bringing in, you need the book. A dollar bill sent to E. G. Swift, Box 484, Detroit, Mich.. will bring the volume to you.

ESSENTIAL OILS Influential Factor in Business So far reaching is the effect of human nature in business that it actually shapes the policies of large concerns. For example, a well-known cigar company locates it establishments on the busiest side of the street because it is human nature to patronize the nearest store. A factor so influential should in no way be disregarded by the pharmacist. Even in such small details as corks, his business should conform to it. Bright, close-grained stoppers are more acceptable than mediocre corks for the same reason that crisp, new bank notes are preferable to old ones. And since this fact is unquestionable, thousands of pharmacists play safe and use only Order from your wholesaler in original packages under our label and guaranty seal, 1 ounce and upward.

THE DRUGGISTS' TOAST.-May his occupation never become a drug in the market so long as he sticks (like his own plasters) to business. May he never be bruised in the mortar of adversity by the pestle of misfortune. May his rise in his profession be as accurately marked as his graduated measure. May his success never be alloyed by a mixture of ill-luck or a tincture of regret. May his counter prove the crucible whereby he transmutes human ailments into precious metal and precipitates the golden deposit into his own pocket. May his career be as unsullied as distilled water and as smooth and pleasant as pure Narbonne honey. May he never be called upon to swallow the bitter pill of disappointment or be incensed in the bitter spirit of enmity. Should fickle Fortune ever refuse him her smile, may he find an antidote in the soothing opiate of woman's love; be strengthened by the tonic of experience and purified by the sudorific of patience.-Chemist and Druggist.
