Tbe phyHician who should precrlbt) cither calomel, or strychnine, cr rhubarb tliieu times a day te man, woman aid child, nick or well, because either f such drua-a is n well known remedy for soine certain dlceAse, would rccelve but littles honor from tbe fraternity and lew prsotlce from the oeiuinnnlty.

Tbe fallacy of this elalm el the manu faetures of pbuapbatle baking powders will be appareut te nil wben the faet, well known te ptijalclans, Is staled, that In average health and with ordinary fned the body gala mere phosphates than ara required or esn be assimilated, hi-Is evldenasd by ihe fact that tbey are constantly being expellei in the ex oretlotie, betli solid nnd liquid ; llkewun the statement that It is nei:saa(y te add lbeapha'.et te the baklnir piwder'hi rostero te tlie lliur these which have been lest In the milling, for It Is true that line Heur as at present made antually oentalus a larger percantasn ofphephates than the grain of wheat ItHel'.
