RUHL'S DRUG STORE, Manheim, Pa.

any store.

We took a good lasting perfume, called it "Love in the Mist," had small samples put on a card, and on our opening day gave each lady one of these. We followed this up by .perfuming each seat in the opera house and by instructing the ushers to tell the people that the house was perfumed with our "Love in the Mist." Of course we advertised it also on the theatre programme. The next evening we had an article in the papers about it, and on the following day sold over a pint of the product.

Then when the first large dance in town was held we told the promotors to advertise that we would purfume each couple during the grand march. We had a large sign in We had a large sign in the hall telling about the purfume, and as each couple separated during the march we

scented them up to the queen's taste! This got everybody to talking about our store and our perfume.

Every lady who enters our store has some perfume put on her handkerchief or person if she wishes it. By these several means we have managed to sell sixty pints of highclass perfume during the first fifteen months. of our business in a town of not over 20,000 people. A. J.

Alcoholism.

In a scientific study in the Economic Review of London. Dr. W. C. Sullivan calls attention to the fact that excessive drunkenness is comparatively innocent compared with alcoholism. Convivial drunkenness prevails most among miners, who are comparatively free from alcoholism, and alcohol engenders disease. It is the constant habit of nip, nip, nipping that poisons the drinker. Heavy drinking after work is done, however regrettable as a proof of a low standard of manners, is not of very great account in the causation of the worst evils of intemperance.

Dr. Caze, editor of La Revue, says the disease of drunkenness is now being treated by hypnotism in Russia. The well-known French doctor, Legrain, has made this practice the subject of an interesting communication to the French Society of Hypnology and Psychology. The Russian Government, he declares, has established dispensaries in a number of the cities, among them St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiew, Saratof and Astrakhan, in which so-called incurable drunkards by the hundred are treated by this hypnotic method. Liquor is kept from them during the cure and they are informed that they do not want to drink any more. They are followed for some time by the care of the doctors, and the treatment is said to have already had very happy results.

Review of Reviews.

Carin.

The employment of formaldehyde as a meat preservative being forbidden in Germany, the combination of that substance with ammonia, known chemically as hexamethylene-tetramine, has been introduced under the name of "Carin," for butchers' use. The Prussian Government now declares that the antiseptic action .of the newer compound being due to the slow evolution of formic aldehyde, the use of Carin cannot be permitted.

Cloth Made Fireproof.

United States Consul Frank W. Mahin sends from Nottingham, England, the following information relative to a new cloth fireproofing material:

"In a paper read at a meeting of a society of dyers in Manchester, titanic acid (the oxide of titanium) was claimed to possess remarkable fireproofing properties, and evidence was produced in the shape of experiments by the reader of the paper. He took, for instance, some pieces of flannelette which had been treated with titanic acid and put a match to them.

"The incipient fire in the material smoldered and went out, refusing to burst into a flame. The experimenter claimed that all inflammable textiles could thus be rendered fireproof, and that dyeing, boiling or washing would not remove the acid, it becoming in fact, an integral part of the fabric." -Sc. Am.
