THE ADULTERA TION OF
MEDICINES.
The great importance of protecting
drugs from adulterations, substitutions
and deteriorations must be maiiifest.to
everybody. If the physician cannot
rely on the quality and "strength of the
medicinal drugs he prescribes, if there
is no standard for them maintained by
all apothecaries, he is, of course, very
much at sea in his treatment of disease.
Take the case of opium and rhubarb,
for instance, two drugs of the
common and extensive use. If the
opium and opium preparations in tbe.
market are of variable quality and of
uncertain strength, doses which pro
duce tbe effects t&e physician desires
when standard articles are used may
rather aggravate tbe symptoms he
would alleviate, and bring pain instead
of quiet to his patient, when the opium
is adulterated and weakened by sub
stitutions. Rhubarb, when of the
standard quality, produces a first and
a secondary effect which are both of
value, but when it is poor and adul
terated, only tbe first effect can be ob
tained.
It is true that in all our large cities
there are many reputable druggists
who may be trusted to send out only
the best quality of drugs, so far as
they can obtain it. But the physician
cannot always know that his prescrip
tion is to be filled by one of these
druggists. Moreover, inferior drugs
are often sold to the country apothe
caries, who may have a custom which
is more eager for low prices than par
ticular about getting articles of the
best sort. The buyer is unable to de
tect the difference in qualities, and
therefore it is easy to palm off inferior
goods upon him. We have in this
country several large manufacturing
pharmacies which are known to almost
every physician, and whose names
give assurance that their preparations
are of the highest merit, but there are
others which turn out goods of an in
different sort to meet the demand for
low prices even at the sacrifice of qual
ity ; and that demand is always large.
Mr. C. Lewis Diehl has just pre
pared for the National Board of
Health a very exhaustive report on
deteriorations, adulterations, and sub
stitutions of drugs in the United
States. He presents in it a classified
list of the inferiorities and a history of
the business of falsification which are
of much interest. It seems that pre
vious to the passage by Congress, in
1848, of the law regulating the impor
tation of drugs, the United States af
forded a great market for damaged and
adulterated drugs, sent out by Euro
pean establishments, which collected
and manufactured them especially for
this country. Indeed, Dr. M. I. Bai
ley, the first examiner of drugs ap
pointed for New York, is authority for
the statement that nearly half of those
imported into New York before the
year 1848 were spurious. In one of
his reports he speaks of a certain ex
tensive manufactory in Brussels ex
clusively devoted to the adulteration
and imitation of the most important
medicinal chemicals, all intended for
sale in the United States. The law of
1848 shutting out their goods, mem
' bers of the firm subsequently trans
ferred their dishonest manufacture to
this country. And as late as 1871
certain wholesale houses were pointed
out by Prof. Remington as regularly
engaged in the business of adultera
tion.
Powdered drugs offer the best op
portunities for the mixing of foreign
substances, and formulas for the prep
aration of the falsified articles are still
in more or less extensive use. Vola
tile oils are now adulterated to a
shameful extent, and Mr. E. Q. Squibb,
the well-known pharmacist, reports
that of eleven commercial specimens
of ether not one in any way approach
ed the official requirements, while
ordinary ether is often quite unclean.
If we rnn through the long list of
drugs given by Mr. Diehl, we find
that nearly every one is subject to de
teriorations due to natural changes for
the worse on account of age or expos
ure, or is liable contain impurities and
cootaminations introduced either dur
ing the collection of the drug or by the
process of it manufacture, or is fre
quently open to suspicion because of
adulterations which are wholly the
work of design. Care must also be
taken by the buyer to guard against
the substitution of other substances,
due sometimes to accident and some
times to design.
Take a few of the drugs of most
general use in medicine, such as opium,
rhubarb, aloes, and jalap. Our opium
comes from Egypt and Asia Minor,
and, though a good article may be ob
tained from respectable dealers, it
varies naturally in its morphia strength
often contains excessive quantities of
vegetable tissues, and is mixed with
earthy and other inorganic matter. It
is also adulterated with various kinds
of resinous, saccharine, and mucilagin
ous substances. Opium sometimes
contains 20 per cent, of foreign matter,
chiefly lead, and the powder is adul
terated to the extent of 50 per cent.
Besides, much inferior opium is in the
market because of the indiscriminate
sale of "prize goods" by the Govern
ment. As to rhubarb, it is always
more or less difficult to obtain a good
quality of the drug in the market.
Rhubarb rejected at our Custon
Houses has been at times returned to
England, where it is ground up with
a superior article, and afterwards ad
mitted as a powder. Again, the pow
der is often made here of inferior rhu
barb, and rendered bright by turmeric;
but select Chinese rhubarb may al
ways be had at advanced prices. Jalap
which comes from Mexico, varies
much in quality, according to the sea
son and the care used in its collection
and selection. But it is also often
adulterated with the tubers of other
plants. Much inferior jalap is in the
market The Custom House reports
have shown that a large proportion of
the jalap imported into this county
comes from Europe, and only a small
proportion direct from Mexico. The
European (chiefly the English) market
absorbs the best lots, and turns the
inferior ones adrift over here. Soco
trine aloes of good quality are very
scarce. Extraneous impurities are of
ten introduced by tho process of prep
aration, and inferior grades are sub
stituted for those of more value.
Great care has to be exercised in pur
chasing the prepared grades, both
whole and as powder.
Adulterations and substitutions like
these, to a greater or less extent, run
through the list of drugs given in this
report. And it is not the crude drug
and the imported preparations only
that are subject to such injurious treat
ment. When the careless drug collec
tor or the dishonest foreign adulterator
has done his work, when the whole
sale manufacturers at home have in
troduced further falsifications, the un
scrupulous apothecary also conies in
with his reduction of the strength of
standard medicines, in order that he
may put down his prices and under
sell his competitors. It is easy, there
fore, to see how much care is required
to procure medicinal drugs and prepa
rations upon which the physician can
relv. Such articles are, of course, ob
tainable, but they command good
prices, and must be selected with judg
ment.
As a remedy for the very grave
evils which follow adulterations, this
report recommends the enactment of
State laws to authorize some form of
inspection by wbich delinquents can
be reached. The law of Congress now
works, in the main, satisfactorily,
though it could probably be improved
by a wise revision. But no such law
can cover the whole field, for it docs
not reach the home adulterator, who
is one of tbe most mischievous agents
in this business.

Hair Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
IT is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brasliy, weak, 01
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitalit]
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The V IGOR cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, aud soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of th(
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The VIGOR is Incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as art
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

•^TESTIMONIALS^'
From n. E. BoWT-KS, U. D„ nammonton, N. J.,
Fxlitor fi/iUJi Jrrtey Srpubliran.
My attention was called to FRANK STDDALLS
SO VP from an advertisement In my own paper,
and Its use in my house for nearly a year, according
to the directions, has proved that Its remarkable
properties have not been overstated. For remov
ing printing ink it Is invaluable, while for toilet
and shaving It Is the best Soap I have ever seen.
From MBS. H. L. KKNYON, Northfleld, Vt
I do my wash with FRANK SIDDALLSSOAP ln
half the time and with no expense tor Soap, cu me
laving in fuel more than pays for it. Ihavenosteam
or scent from the wash, while the saving la
health, clothes and labor can hardly be estimated.
From E. W. STANTON, 1506 N. 20th St, Phllada.
We are confident, from a long experience In
using and recommending FRANK StDDALLS
BOAP, that one trial, according to the very easy
Drinted directions, will overcome all prejudices. It
.inn really has wonderful merit for shaving, toilet,
The following are the Directions for Use, so simple that a child can understand tliem.
Dont do anything so ridiculous as to buy the Soap unless you intend following them.
Ma-SIOO positively forfeited if it injure s the clothes, or trill not do everything claimed.
First, put the white clothes in a tub of water, only made warm enough to be comfortable
for the hands. Then take one piece out at a time on the wash-board, rub the Soap lightly
over it, roll it up and put it back into the same tub, and so on with each piece until nil
have the Soap rubbed on them. Then go away and let them soak at least twenty minute*,
without touching them, when the dirt will all be loosened, and a very little rubbmg oa
the wash-board, out of that one suds, will make them perfectly clean, being particular to
turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Then wash lightly on the wash
board, through a lukewarm rinse-water (without any Soap,) so as to get the dirty suds out.
Then put through blue-water, and on the line, without scalding or boiling a single picc&
Afterward put flannels and colored pieces to soak, and wash them exactly the same way.
It is important not to heat the wash-water in a tin, brass or copper kettle. A tea-kettle
will heat enough water for a large wash with this Soap.
Just Think What You will Save by this Easy Way of Washing!
No Wash-boiler! No Steam! No Smell of Suds through the House!
It has the remarkable Property of keeping the Dish-Cloth, Wash-Rag and
Sponge always Sweet, and of Washing Freely in Hard Water.

BES^^^^WOBLDI
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of SyraouM, N. V.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore
made as the Plows ot the past few years have
been superior to those made half a century
ago.
It combines all the excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obrlates ECU the objections made to any
other Plow.
In addition It embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which we have also
obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be
called
THE SYRACUBE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A first-class Steel Plow, made In the or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollar*, and It Will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on whlck
we have also obtained a Patent, and which la
also a great improvement, both as regards
Strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and clso for two or three horsea
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
tend, which is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It
b three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When we say a Mold board Is chilled, tho
farmers know It Is so.
We do not palm ofT on them a composition
Of various metals and call It chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow in the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It wUI be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be tha cheapen.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
WThls Is the only Steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare thi* price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
Bade would be at five dollars and a half.
Where there are no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay tho
freight Address,
