The December number, of the. Auperial Institute Journal gives some useful informaclaimed at the Post tion about the manufacture of camphor and other particulars of the industry. It says:-
Considerable interest has been shown during the last few years in the production of camphor and camphor-oil, partly owing the increased demand for these products in the arts, and partly as the result of the restricted output of hese substances, which was the immediate consequence of the cession of Formosa, with its extensive camphor forests, to Japan,
Although camphor is stili produced in China and Japan, and the cultivation of the camphor tree has been commenced in Florida, yet practically the world's supply of this commodity is derived from Formosa. In this island the distillation of Camplior has been carried ou from the earliest times by the natives, but in the 18th century the Chinese Goverment estab lished a monopoly, any infringement of which was visited upon the offenders with savage penalties. In 1720, over 200 people were executed in the island for such offences, and so badly were the aborigines treated that they rebelled, and finally the right of production was declareal free, the Government reserving the right of buying all camphor distilled in the island, at a fixed price. This arrangement lasted until the opening of the treaty ports, when European traders refused to recognise the monopoly and began to trade directly with the native distillers. This procedure was resented by the Mandarins, and much trouble ensued between, the Chinese and the Europeans, Pinally the monopoly was completely with drawn in 1868.
Since that time the industry has flourished, and has gradually extinguished camphor pro. duction on the Chinese mainland and in Japan.
As a natural result of this unrestricted trade, the forests have been worked in such an im- provident fashion that they would have been 'exhausted in a few more years. The restric- tions on the output which have so far been the most remarkable feature of the Japanese ad. ministration are, therefore, to a certain extent justified by the condition of the forests. The island has now been divided up into six cam- phor districts, each being controlled from a central office, which issues licences, and fixes the price at which the Administrator will buy camphor in that district. The number of stilis licensed has been reduced to 1,400, while formerly 4,000 were said to be continuously employed. The crude camphor bought by the Government is now sent to a central factory at Taipeh, where it is pressed free from oil, compressed into cakes and prepared for ex port. This preliminary refining ensures the camphor being put on the market in a better condition than formerly. It is not intended at present to make any change in the native method of distillation, although this admits of great improvement, as will be seen from the following short description. A rough oven of loam, clay and stones is first built to a height of about four feet from, the ground, in this is placed a quintity of wood, and on the latter a large iron kettle, to which water is continuously supplied from a second vessel provided with a tap. The kettle is surmounted by a cylindrical barrel packed full of small pieces of camphor wond. From the top of the barrel a bamboo, tube leads to an airtight box used as a receiver. The whole apparatus is carefully luted with clay, and when ready the wood is lighted, and, us a result, steam from the kettle, passes up through the camphor wood, carrying with it the volatile oil, which condenses in the lang bam. boo tube and runs into die receiver. Here the oil separates into a solid part, which is camphor, and a liquid ponion, which constitutes crude chimphor oil. The latter material still contains from 20 to 30 per cent. of camphor; formerly it was exported to Europe in this slate, but now it is sent to Japan, where the valuable camphor is extracted, and the resisbal oil only sent to Europe. It should be noted, therefore, that the camphor oil now found in commerce is a much Jess valuable product than formerly. The dis- tillation is chiefly carried on in the interior of the island, and is always fible to interruption from the semi-civilized natives, wiro also plun- der the caravans on their way to the coast, the frequency of such depredations during last year accounting largely for the high price of the substance, which is at present just 100 per cent greater than before the establishment. of the new regime (Schummel's Report, October, 1950). In addition to restricting the produc tion, the Japanese Government also for a time prohibited the export of camphor, in the hope of forcing up the price with the object of obtaining a certain fixed revenue from the island. It is very doubtful whether this policy. will succeed, since already celluloid, the manu facture of which formerly required a great deal of camphor, is now being made with naphtha lene as a substitute. Camphoroll also, which is chiefly used for perfuming common house hold soaps, will no doubt be replaced by other inexpensive oils if the price increases largely,
It is of interest to note in connection with the rise in the price of camphor, that Messrs. Schummel and Co. have suggested India and Ceylon as suitable countries for cultivating the camphor tree (Berichte Von Schimmel, April, 1896), and they point out that Mr. D. Hooper's investigations show that camphor may be successfully produced in India. This author

The world's requirement of camphor is. es. timated at 10,400,000lb., per annum; of this under the new administration, about 5,200,000 Ib. will be supplied by Formosa, while about pae-third of the whole will be exported from Japan, leaving a diminution on the export com- pared with 1898 of about 3,640,000 lb.
According to articles in the 7iwan Nichi Little & Co., D. Shimpo, published in Formosa, the actual cost Lyons, J. of the production of camphor is 26-67 yea per Lyall, Hill picul (about £2. 148. od. for-133.1b.), the ex Leaton, Mrs. penses of administration ambunt to about 28 Lowe, S..S. yen per picul, and the selling price in Hong Lucbany, R.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY.
THERAPION.
This
succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitala.by. Ricard, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis. eases. In dysentery, piles, Irritation, of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.
THERAPION No. 2, for impurity nf the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches," pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilia, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminates every poisonous matter, from the body.
*
THERAPION No. 3, focnervous exhaustion, waste of vitality, and all the distressing con sequences arising from early error, excess, residence in hot, unhealthy climates, &c. li posseses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.
THERAPION may be procured of the prin cipal Chemists and Merchants throughout the
world. Price in England 2/9 and 4/6. In order ing, the purchaser should state which of the three numbers he requires, and observe that the word "THERAPION" appears on the Govern ment, Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every genuine package by order of Her Majesty's Hon..Commissioners, and with! out which it is a forgery.
