ICHTHYOL PRICE BOUNDS Asphalttc Material From Austria Scarce Because of War. Tho Importation of lchthyol, a peculiar nsphaltlc material found i in Austria, which finds application after appropriate chemical treatment as a very Important medlcamont, has been, along with many other products, cut oft by tho war. Tho raw material comes from a fossll lfcrous deposit near Seefcld, In the Aus trian Tyrol. It Is carefully selected and subjected to dry distillation. This dis tillate thus obtained Is then sulphonnted and subsequently neutralized with am monia. The use of this material has grcaty Increased In tho last fow years, and It has proved very beneficial. Almost Immediately following the be ginning of tho war Its price doubled, going to more than 60 cents an ounce. Already, however, a firm In St. Louis has a material on the market which hoa been favorably recommended ns an efficient substitute closely resembling lchthyol itself.
