CHEMISTS' MARVELS.

It would be difficult to enumerate all the wonders which are to be seen at the Chemists' Exhibition, opened at Holland Park, London, recently. The exhibition is this year three times larger than it ever was before. There is enough quinine to swell ones' head to the size of a balloon, and there are enough opiates to furnish dreams to everyone in London, with almost enough tar soap to wash humanity. The fountain of youth is eclipsed by the Standard Tablet and Pill Company, of Hove, who have a chocolate-coated tablet which is guaranteed to cure dyspepsia and indigestion and is an excellent friend of the restaurant proprietor. There is the "Magic Tumbler," one of the most mystifying wonders of the age. All you do to obtain a perfectly hjygienic drink of lemonade, peppermint, orange, ginger, or coal tar, according to which tumbler you purchase, is simply to fill the tumbler with cold water and add a litttle sugar. Each tumbler is good for 40 drinks. There is the hygienic syphon without metal or spring. It is composed of glass, porcelain and ebonite, and its advantage is absolute cleanliness. There is a multitude of other appliances—all going to form one of the most interesting exhibitions of the day.
