, Attorney - at - Law and Solicitor in Chancery .No window panes ever had been seen so dirty as those which graced the windows - - no rag - carpet so nearly resolved into its component elements , had ever decorated human dwelling - - and perhaps no legal den , from the commencement of the world to that time , had ever diffused so unmistakeable an odor of parchment , law - calf , and ancient dust ! The apartment within the first was much smaller , and here Mr .Rushton held his more confidential interviews .

The lack of united expression in his features produces an effect seldom observable in a living face .The eyes are lustreless , and densely black ; or possibly ( the suspicion is a startling one ) we are looking into empty eye - sockets ! No eyes , no expression , parchment skin , swathed head , odor of myrrh and cassia , and , dominating all , this ghastly immobility ! Has Doctor Glyphic even now escaped , leaving us to waste time and sentiment over some worn - out disguise of his ? Nay , if he be not here , we need not seek him further .Having forsaken this , he can attain no other earthly hiding - place .

And because indentures and deeds and covenants are sealed , these passages must be accepted as part of the evidence that Shakespeare narrowly escaped being made Lord High Chancellor of England ! It requires all the learning and the logic of a Lord Chief Justice and a London barrister to establish a connection between such premises and such a conclusion .And if Shakespeare ' s lines smell of law , how strong is the odor of parchment and red tape in these , from Drayton ' s Fourth Eclogue ( 1605 ) : " Kindnesse againe with kindnesse was repay ' d , _ And with sweet kisses covenants were sealed _ ." We ask pardon of the reader for the production of contemporary evidence , that , in Shakespeare ' s day , a knowledge of the significance and binding nature of a seal was not confined to him among poets ; for surely a man must be both a lawyer and a Shakespearean commentator to forget that the use of seals is as old as the art of writing , and , perhaps , older , and that the practice has furnished a figure of speech to poets from the time when it was written , that out of the whirlwind Job heard , " It is turned as clay to the _ seal _ , " and probably from a period yet more remote .

I own it would be pleasanter in most cases , especially to those who have cultivated a taste for 4 COMMON 8KNMF .intellectual pursuits , to live above the heat and odor of this department .It must be very fine to have an efficient aide - de - camp in the person of a French cook , or a compe - tent sub - manager , or an accomplished head - waiter who receives your orders for the day in your boudoir or library , and executes the same with zeal and discretion that leave you no room for anxiety or regret .

Still it is chiefly among the Irish that the want of cleanliness , the want of almost every article of domestic furniture , and the crowdÂ ¬ ing of families into the same apartments prevail .Spending alÂ ¬ most all the money they receive on ardent spirits and food , this class have nothing to spare for fuel , comfortable clothing , or furÂ ¬ niture , consequently every crevice which could admit a draft of air is closed up , and the closeness and stench of the apartment are alike insufferable to any one not accustomed to it .When attending this class as dispensary physician , I became fully alive to the pernicious influence of these causes on the health of the inmates .

Mintel reports that the role of fragrance retailing has diminished in smaller pharmacies which are unable to match the multiples in terms of buying power without the might of large company behind them .It is department stores that have borne the brunt of discounting activity in the market , with their share slipping to 31 per cent Mintel research shows that supermarkets are not expected to gain market share and are not generally felt to be an appropriate environment for selling fragrances .However , the self - service approach to shopping for fragrances appears to be preferable to consumers , with only 8 per cent saying that they liked to be served by a consultant .

But this archaic practice is now banned in Los Angeles and San Francisco and will soon be banned in other areas .Our most difficult problem on the home front is perhaps the apartment house incinerator in our large urban centres which are poorly designed and where considerable odour comes from the poor burning of garbage .With respect to industrial concerns we have controls in effect in virtually all communities for the control of dust and fumes and noxious gases .

Were these seamen ? â   They were seamen or mariners ; I am clearly of opinion that the practice of allowing them to be so closely associated during the periods of sleep , is injurious to health and to morals ; as it is of the utmost importance in the cure of maniacs to maintain their bodily health , as well as to avoid such consequences as have been before alluded to .Whether , on visiting the bed - rooms , you have been occasion - ally struck by offensive smells in them ? â   On visiting the bed - , rooms of the officers , and the cabins of the seamen , I have not been struck with any offensive smells , such as actual stench , but the sleeping cabins of the seamen were close and musty ; and , on the third instant , on visiting an apartment in which there was the sick maniac I have already alluded to in my evidence , the smell and nature of the apartment was utterly unfit for a human being to reside in , in any shape : the adjoining apartment was in the same state , and was capable of containing a similar number of patients .Were the floors in these two cases wet ? â   They had been at - 192 MINUTES OF EVIDENCE .

But department stores and pharmacies have suffered .While department stores still account for the majority of fine fragrance business , their share has declined , while pharmacy share has remained static at 1 1 per cent for the past two years ." Price discounting has had an impact on the mass market , but this hasn ' t been as acute as at the premium end , since our prices are already accessible , ' ' says Chris Brown , brand manager at Coty .

The evidence laid before us shows that , on the 25th of last month it was in its usual state ; although it is possible that a lady and gentleman who visited the kitchen , and dining - rooms , and the corridors adjoining them , on that day .( 32 ) immediately after dinner , may have considered the temporary and inevitable state and odour of those apartments , as the ordinary condition of the establishment .Besides , on coming in and going out , the agricultural patients had inevitably left some soil upon the floors , which the attendants were actually employed in removing .

AGB say its really a matter of getting products out of cupboards and corners and ensuring strong merchandising , with a relevant product range in the premium sectors .Although Boots and department stores are attractive to people buying fragrances and cosmetics it ' s an area where independents can also make their mark .J / A S / O 1986 J / F M / A M / J J / A 1987 TRADE SECTOR SHARES - TOTAL FRAGRANCES Total Market ( Â £ m ) 367 .

known under the name of â   bad breath and the more impure the blood is , the greater the degree of that bad breath .The curious reader will find an analogous exhibition of the more hidden properties of matter , of chemical affinities , by leaving a mix - ture of alcohol and water in an uncorked bottle ; the alcohol having a greater affinity , a greater liking for the air than the water has , begins at once to pass out of the bottle and mingle with the air of the room , as will be known by the odor of the apartment , and will continue to pass out until there is nothing left in the bottle but the water .But fill another bottle with a similar mixture , and place a thick membrane over the mouth ; in a few days all the watei will be gone , while the alcohol remains .

43 5 expurgators at Lazarettoes , have been known to be suddenly seized with the plague upon opening bales of goods from infected places , when no other evi - dence of the presence of the deadly instrument of communication could be detected .Finally , I have heard it stated that some practitioners could recognise the smell peculiar to the fever - ward ol an hospital , and likewise that of an apartment where a patient labouring under Asiatic cholera was lying .But even in these cases , it is doubtful whether that which is perceived be the odour of morbid perspiratory secre - tions , or of the peculiar effluvia which generate typhus and cholera .

B had made it a rule to gratify his five senses to the highest degree of enjoyment of which they were susceptible .An exquisite table , perfumed apartments , the charms of music and painting ; in a word , every thing most enchanting that nature , assisted by art , could produce , suc - cessively flattered his sight , his taste , his smell , his hearing , and his feeling .Â £ t In a superb saloon , whither he conducted me , â   says this gentleman , â   were six young beauties , dressed in an extraordinary mannei , whose persons , at first sight , did not appear un - known to me : it struck me that I had seen then faces more than once , and I was accordingly going to address them , when Mr , B , smiling at my mistake , explained to me the cause of it .
