  • In a letter to Horace Kephart on May 24, 1917, Harry C. Phibbs explains that Burroughs-Wellcome and Company does not publish a retail catalog. However, Mr. Phibbs wishes to send “Wellcome’s’ Excerpta Therapeutica” intended for a medicine man, listing prices of all products and illustrations of medical equipment and supplies. He also mentions a useful book, “Tabloid”, published by Burroughs-Wellcome for medical reference assistance.

Dear Mr. Kephart:- We do not publish a list of drugs showing retail prices, that is the prices at which they are sold over the drug store counter.

This is intended solely for the use of the medical man, hut I guess you are enough of a medicine man to he trusted with the "book. It contains a complete price list of everything we issue on pages 329-393. There are also illustrations of various Medical and First-Aid equipments. « There is another book, we publish for the benefit of explorers carrying medical equipments. This is called 'TABLOID1 A Brief Medical Guide. I think a copy of this will be useful to you for reference purposes, so I am sending it along. You will be interested in the appendix, where notices are given on the various drug preparations. If there is any other help, that I can give you in the way of information along these lines, call on me by all means. Yours very truly,
