Try it to-morrow, and note the pleasant increase in the day's sales.
Instruct your assistants to ask each customer if he has ever tried Resinol,
and then to explain how it is a soothing, healing, antiseptic ointment,
not only for Eczema, Pimples, and other skin troubles, but invaluable

in every household for those constantly occurring rashes, chafings,
cuts, bruises, burns, and a score of other uses. It takes the pain

out at once, and stops itching instantly. With every sale of Resinol
Ointment for any skin trouble you should also sell a cake of Resinol
Soap. The patient should bathe the affected surface with Resinol

Soap and hot water before applying Resinol Ointment.

Many pharmacists have assured us that even when the name " HEWLETT'S" is not appended to the abow

that it keeps indefinitely, and universally gives satisfaction, whilst imitation preparations vary so considerably,
not only from the original, but from each other, that patients notice the difference and complain.

Assistance to Belgian Pharmacists. —A group of

Amsterdam pharmacists have addressed a circular to all

pharmacists in Holland urging them to take up one or
more shares of 100 francs each in a gratuitous loan to their

Belgian confreres to enable the latter to rebuild their phar-

macies and renew their stocks. THe results show that the
confidence of the Amsterdam pharmacists in the generosity
of their colleagues was not misplaced, and when the arrange-
ments are complete the fund will be handed over to the
Board of the " Nederlandsche Maatschappij ter Bevordering
der Pharmacie," which will place the money at the dis-

posal of a committee of Belgian pharmacists, and will
endeavour to urge upon the Pharmaceutical Societies of

neutral countries the desirability of their following the

example of the Dutch pharmacists. The circular referred
to seems to have come into possession of the German phar-
maceutical papers. The " Pharm. Zeitung " regards it as

good evidence of the kind feelings of neighbourliness which

the Dutch pharmacists have for their Belgian colleagues.

Rubber Exposition at Batav a.- The International

Rubber Congress arranged for 1914 has been postponed on

account of the war, but the Rubber Exposition has been
opened in accordance with the arrangements. The Dutch
Committee of the Exposition has published an' illustrated

booklet by the Director of the Bureau of Commercial Infor-

mation, containing a concise report of the significance of

rubber in relation to commerce in general and Dutch com-
merce in particular. The " Indische Mercuur " of Decem-

ber 11 publishes a report by the Division of Commerce
and Industry of the Department of Agriculture, Commerce,
and Industry on the number of rubber-plantations in the
Dutch East Indies and the area under cultivation. It

states that the rubber-plants chiefly cultivated in the Dutch

East Indies are Hevea brasilicnsis and Ficus clastica the
;

number of plantations in Java on June 1. 1914, was 344

<area 214 acres),' and in other islands of the Dutch East

Indies 211 (area 304 acres). .

Insurance of Chemists' Apprentices.

Sheriff Penney has issued his decision in the action by

the Scottish National Health Insurance Commissioners

against George Morrison, chemist and druggist, Kirn, a

member of the Tax Resistors' Association, for the recovery

of Insurance contributions from June 1913 to September

1914 in respect of an apprentice. The Sheriff, in his inter-

locutor, says that, having considered the cause, he finds in

fact (1) that the defender had in his employment from

June 30, 1913, to September 28, 1914, Alan Cameron

McDougall (2) that at June 30, 1913, the said Alan Cameron
;

McDougall was above sixteen years of age (3) that the

said Alan Cameron McDougall was accordingly an employe

under the National Insurance Act, 1911, for whom weekly

contributions were payable by the defender (4) that tho
;

amount of these contributions together is 1?. 17s. Ud. and
;

(5) that none of this sum has been paid by the defender;

therefore grants decree in favour of the pursuers against

the defender for the said sum, and finds him liable to the

pursuers in expenses, but only for the amount for which

\\e would have been found liable had this case been brought

—in the Small Debt Court namely, 21. 17s. 10«Z., and decerns.

In his note the Sheriff says the defender, like many other

otherwise law-abiding citizens, seemed to have a deeply-

rooted aversion to the National Insurance Act of 1911, and
