Merck Forest provides on this website a number of links to URLs outside of our website domain. Merck Forest provides these links for your convenience.

A cautionary note on the reliability of the Internet
In numerous places at this website, we offer visitors opportunities to contact us by e-mail.

We think these opportunities are extremely valuable — for you and for us — and add to the functionality of this website.

However, as the Internet becomes increasingly popular and more heavily-trafficked, the reliablity of electronic mail has been called into question. While we expect to receive your e-mail, etc. with little or no trouble, we must caution you that there can be no guarantee that will occur at all times.

If you do send us e-mail, we recommend a follow-up phone call particularly if a reasonable amount of time has passed with no response from us.
