A New Business in Louisville.

We take pleasure in calling special attention to the advertisements of Mr. Thos. E. Jenkins & Prof. J. Lawrence Smith, who have formed a co-partnership for the purpose of carrying on the drug and prescription business at the corner of Third and Walnut streets, and engaging extensively in the manufacture of pure chemical products.  Prof. Smith, the distinguished Professor of Chemistry in the Medical Department of the University of Louisville, is widely known for his eminent scientific attainments, and his business unquestionably has no superior in the Union.  Mr. Jenkins has for several years been Prof. Smith's principal assistant in his experiments, and is one of the safest and most reliable compounders of prescriptions, and one of the most skillful pharmaceutists in the city.  There are only a few establishments in the United States where chemical products are manufactured, and this enterprise has our best wishes for success.  On the purity of the articles manufactured by Prof. Smith, we hardly need to say the most implicit confidence may be placed.
