ICHTHYOL PRICE BOUNDS Acphaltic Material From Austria Scarce Because of War. Tho Importation of lclithyol, a peculiar nsphaltlc material found in Austria, vvnlch finds application after appropriate chemlc.il treatment as a very Important medicament, has been, along with many other pioducts, cut off by the war. The raw material comes from a fossll iferous deposit near Seefcld, In the Aus tunn Tyrol. It Is caiefully selected and subjected to dry distillation. This dis tillate thus obtained Is then sulphonatcd nnd subsequently neutralized with am monia The uso of this material has greaty Increased In the last few years, and it has proved very beneficial. Almost Immediately following the be ginning of the war Its price doubled, going to more than 60 cents an ounce. Already, however, n film in St I.nuW has a mateiial on tho maikct which has been favorably recommended as nn elllcient substitute closely resembling lclithyol Itself.

Not know Ing tho nature of hla disease, he appalled the physicians of a hospital when ha walked into tho out-patients' room and asked for a remedy for a skin rash. He was eont back here by tho Phila delphia authorities and confined to his own home, his wife being forbidden to enter. Tho wife obeyed the order at first, but her love for tho stricken man was too strong and she pleaded to be permitted to return to his side. At first the health officials were obdurate, fearing she would leave the house and spread the Infec tion, but Mrs. Norman finally carried her point She pointed out that there was no one to wait on her husband and no one to give him the llttlo attentions ho needed. She would do all In her power to alleviate his sufferings, sho said, and keep his path to the grave from being wnolly Bloomy.
