GRATUITOUS Bromo-Seltzer Stock Offer 4,500 Shares 8% Preferred Stock Of the EMERSON DRUG CO. to be distributed CRATUITOUSLY to To the Retail Druggists of the U. S. A. and Canada: Fifteen years ago we invited two thousand druggists to become stockholders in our Company, and we believe that those who availed themselves of the offer have been well pleased; at any rate, we have been pleased to have them share our profits with us. At a meeting of our stockholders, held this day, a resolution was adopted, authorizing an increase in our capital stock of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) preferred stock, bearing eight per cent interest per annum, divided into ten thousand (10,000) shares, par value, twenty-five dollars ($25.00) each, redeemable at the option of the Company, after January 1, 1908, at twenty-six dollars per share and interest, if the Company so elects, but it will not be the policy of the present management to redeem said shares as long as they remain in the name of the druggists. Four thousand shares of this issue are reserved to be distributed to the retail druggists of the United States and Canada, and five hundred (500) shares for the druggists and chemists of England. Following are the conditions: ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY! To the five retail druggists in the United States of America or Canada selling the largest amounts of BROMO-SELTZER within a period of twelve months, beginning September 1, 1906, and ending August 31, 1907, we will give FIVE SHARES EACH (par value $25.00 each) of the eight per cent preferred stock above referred to. To the next one hundred retail druggists selling the next largest amounts of BROMO-SELTZER in the same period THREE SHARES EACH. To the next four hundred retail druggists selling the next largest amounts in the same period TWO SHARES EACH. To the two thousand, three hundred and seventy-five (2,375) retail druggists selling the next largest amounts of BROMO-SELTZER in the period mentioned above, we will give ONE SHARE EACH PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no share will be given any druggist selling less than one hundred and fifty ($150.00) dollars of BROMO-SELTZER. To the five hundred (500) retail druggists doing business in towns of less than twenty thousand (20,000) population and selling the largest amounts of BROMO-SELTZER within the period mentioned, ONE SHARE EACH; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no share will be given any druggist under this clause who sells less than one hundred ($100.00) dollars of BROMO-SELTZER, and that no druggist in the last two classes can receive more than one share. In case of a tie for any prize, we will give in lieu thereof, to each tying contestant, the par value of such prize in BROMO-SELTZER at wholesale prices. CONDITIONS: 1. No druggist can enter the competition who sells BROMO-SELTZER for less than the prevailing prices in their respective localities. 2. On September 1, 1906, each druggist on entering this competition must take stock of quantity of BROMOSELTZER, on hand that day; and on the last day of August, 1907, add to this amount the quantity of BROMOSELTZER purchased during that period, and deduct the amount on hand August 31, 1907, thus leaving the net amount sold during the twelve months from September 1, 1906, to August 31, 1907, inclusive. 3. This statement, sworn to before a Notary Public, together with the original bills showing the purchase of BROMO-SELTZER from the jobber, must be mailed to us on September 1, 1907 (with postage enclosed for return of the wholesalers' bills.) 4. Druggists having more than one store will be allowed to compete for as many prizes as they have stores, but under no circumstances can such druggist return all of their bills as representing the sales of one store; neither can druggists pool their sales for prizes. Distribution of the stock will be made as soon as possible after the receipt of the druggists' affidavits accompanied by their bills or invoices of purchases of BROMO-SELTZER for above period, said stock to participate in dividends from July 1, 1907.

Pure Food Law.-Having received inquiries as to the effect of the Pure Food Law recently passed by congress on Brown's Bronchial Troches, we take pleasure in informing the trade that we know of no reason why our article does not comply with this law as we do not use opium or any injurious substance whatever, the use of which would require a special label on the package. Imitations and inferior preparations, represented to be the same as "Brown's Bronchial Troches," should be avoided. The value of the genuine Troches has been recognized by physicians for over fifty years, and they are known all over the world as one of the few staple cough remedies.
