The Commissioners had written stating that they do not

Committee should confer with representatives of doctors

and chemists, with a view to ascertaining in what cases
dispensing by doctors should be permitted. Mr. W. Cum-
ming (chemist, Thurso) said that county chemists object to
medical men being paid for dispensing by capitation, and
added that chemists have a wider range of drugs and are
better dispensers than the doctors. Dr. Kennedy (Dun-

beath) maintained that Mr. Lloyd George intended that

doctors in rural districts should receive the capitation grant

for drugs, and declared that the doctors would decline to

dispense medicines except by capitation payment. The
Committee decided to continue capitation payment, one
member dissenting.

SATISFIED CUSTOMERS It is one of the few

Never was SCOTT'S Emulsion more widely advertised than advertised products,

VENO'S

LIGHTNING COUGH CURE

AND

DR. GASSELL'S TABLETS

Verve's Lightning' Gold Medal at the

Cough Cure International
was awarded the Health Exhibition,

Grand Prix and Paris, 1910.

In addition to enormously increased Press and Handbook advertising, the whole of Great Britain and

Ireland has recently been billed with mammoth posters, and the immediate effect of this combined campaign

has been to greatly send up the demand for our specialities. The sales of Dr. Cassell's Tablets have increased
by leaps and bounds, and we hope you will see to having sufficient stock to meet this demand. For prices and
all particulars send to the address below, where also supplies of high-class advertising material may be obtained.

SALES IN THE COLONIES.

SOUTH Veno's Lightning Cough Cure and Dr. Cassell's Tablets are now in full swing in South
Africa, and an exceptionally large advertising campaign has already made them in such
AFRICA extraordinary demand that they bid fair (especially in regard to Dr. Cassell's Tablets) to be

the best selling proprietaries in this country. This already very extensive publicity will be

greatly augmented as the sales increase, and all chemisls and storekeepers from Cape Town
to Buluwayo should lose no time in laying in stock. Orders may be placed with the leading
wholesale houses in South Africa or shippers in England, where also suitable and striking
dummies, showcards and other advertising matter may be obtained. For prices and all

particulars apply to wholesalers or shippers.

Very shortly Veno's Lightning Cough Cure and Dr. Cassell's Tablets will be placed on the

Canadian and Australian markets, and similar success may confidently be looked for.
