DeWitt & Co., Chicago SOLD BY E, H, MILLER, | A Bad and Unfair Piece of Légis- lation. ! Benator Brown, a member of the | present Legislature of Pennsylvania, | did a very detestable thing when he | prepared his bill to make it illegal to sell proprietary medicines containing alcohol, except under a physician’s prescription. Physicians in Pennsyl- vania already have too much unfair legislation in their favor, and much of it is n disgrace to the statute books of the state and a dastardly outrage upon a free people. No other profession in Pennsylvania is so thoroughly and shamefully given to graft and protect- ed therein as the medical profession. Senator Brown’s bill is the ne plus ultra of graft legislation, and we en- ‘dorse every word of the following ar- raignment against it, which is contrib- uted by E. C. DeWitt & Co., the manu- facturers of the well known DeWitt remedies: “Senator Brown has introduced in the Senate of your state a bill designed to make it illegal to sell proprietary med- icines containing alcohol, except under unfair and unnecessary restrictions. It forbids the sale absolutely and com- pletely of every compound or product, whether made by proprietors, druggists or any other person, except that such medicine be sold under a physician’s prescription. We do not defend any intoxicant sold under the guise of a medicine, but, in common with every drug interest, we do protest against the enactment of a bill born in ignorance of pharmaceutical laws and principles and fostered by unjust influences brought to bear upon the public mind. They claim that alcohol is the cause of intemperance, but there is a great dif- ference between alcohol and whiskey. If a substitute for alcohol could be found for use in the manufacture of medicines, its discovery would render a great service in the field of pharma- ceuticals, drugs, medicines, science and art, because alcohol iz an exceedingly expensive ingredient and a cheaper substitute would be gladly accepted. The word alcohol is associated with bar-rooms, drunkenness and all forms of degradation and vice. This is due to a lack of knowledge by the general public that it is an indispensable req- uisite in drugs, tinctures and. fluid extracts. There are but few tinctures in any drug store that do not contain 80 to 70 per cent. and sometimes 90 per cent. of alcohol. Fluid extracts con- tain it in even greater proportions. There is seldom a physician’s prescrip- tion that does not contain alcohol, and hut few liquid medicines can be com- nonnded without it. For this reason the privileges of physicians are very studiously safeguarded, and such a lnw might as well be made to prohibit the :nle of medicines, except when pre- cribed by physicians. Alcohol is re- quired to dissolve substances not sol- uble in water and contributes to their preservation when dissolved, leaving behind some inert substance which can usually be dissolved by water. Diluted alcohol is generally employed in fluid extracts ; but wherever alcohol is used in » medicine strictly as a solvent, ir i- <a neutralized ax to eliminate its in- roxieating character; and such prepar- ations containing 50 per cent. of alcohol have a less intoxicating effect than 5 per cent. of alcohol of the character nsed in beer. The difference between aleohnl and whiskey must be consider- ed—'he single purpose of the former must not be used to condemn the mari- ifold necessities for the Intter. Manny people do not know that alcohol is a weezsnry preser a'ive against deters and freezing. Furthermore 29 per cent. of all proprietary medi- ‘ines are compounded by the very best medical skill and science ; their quali- ties and effects have been tested ; they are the products of a long series of laboratory experiments; they must have merit ; they must be without in- jurious effects ; they are indispenenble in remote sections of the country out of reach of a practicing physician when medicines are necessary. The enact- ment of this bill would drive from the state the best known proprietary prep- arations which have stood the test of years, and compel people to pay for a physician’s prescription for nearly every medicine they use.” a STRIKES HIDDEN ROCKS.

' Guaranteed ) NEXT DOOR. “They are very peculiar people next door,” e3ld the womam with the ex- pansive society amile. “I am sure that I have done all I could to be neighborly ever since they took the house—let me see—two years ago it is now, nearly. I called on them im the first place, although I really don’t believe in being too intimate with people just because they happen to rent a house next door to ome; but in this case Mrs. Glenwood spoke to me about them. She said they were really very nice people and so I called. “They are very nice people im some respects—at least Mrs. Parks is —but very peculiar, my dear. As I say, I did my best to be nice to them and when they were in their moving muddle I told them if there was any- thing that I could do for them to be sure and let me know. Well, they didn’t happen to want anything. I sup- pose, for they didn’t say so then, but less than three weeks after that Mr. Parks came te the door and wanted to borrow my step ladder. You know I always keep my step-ladder down in the basement and it was quite a lot of trouble to go down and get it, but Mr. Peabody happened to be at home and he brought it up and gave it to Mr. Parks. I don't mind saying that I was annoyed, but I am sure that I didn’t show it. And, my dear, they kept that ladder over a day before they brought it back and then there was a speck of whitewash on it that I am sure wasn't there when I lent it to them. I'm sure I would have no- ticed if there had been. Mr. Pea- body always tells me I am so partiec- ular about my things, but good grac- ious! If people didn't take care of things they never would have things, would they? “Then there was the lawn .mower. I was out mowing the lawn one morn- ing. You know Mr. Peabody isn’t home once a month hardly and I have to mow it myself or else get a man to do it and that is so expensive, you know. And then men are careless with things. Well, Mr. Parks was sitting on his front steps and he volunteered to do it for me. ‘I need the exercise, anyway,’ he said. But do you know, as soon as he got through with my lawn he wheeled the mover across the walk and mowed his own, just as’ coolly! And as if | wasn't enough, he took it on to the Wespers’, next door to him and mowed theirs. ‘May as well trim up the neighborhood while we are about it,’ he sald, laugh- ing as if it was a good joke. Of course the lawns aren’t large, but just think! “And then I recommended a laun- dress to them and went in to give them her address, and one time when they were out I let the express people leave a package for them and took it in to them myself. I assured them that it wasn’t any trouble—and it re- ally wasn’t so very much, you know— only it might occur too often. “But it was about the telephone I was going to tell you. They didn’t have a telephone put in. Mr. Parks said he didn’t care to have one until he made up his mind whether he want- ed to take the house for a year, and I told them, of course, that they were very welcome to use mine at any time. They said it was very kind of me, and 80 it was, I think, but I didn’t think they would be making a public convenience of my house. They came in—oh, several times. They always apologized, but that didan’t make it any more convenient for me to be an- swering the door and letting them in and letting them out again. Once or twice I was clear up to the top of the house and had to go clear dowa- stairs. I was always just as pleasant as could be, but I think they under- stood that I didn’t care much about it, and they stopped coming until Mns. Parks’ illness and then Mr. Parks be- gan coming again—to call the doctor, It seemed to me, though, that he needn't have always left it until it be- came an emergency. Of course, in a case of sickness I wouldn't think of refusing anybody and I ke to be neighborly. But arem’t people pecu- liar sometimes? “Well, thank goodness, they had about stopped bothering me until last week, when there came a ring at ‘the ‘phone and somebody said: “Is this Mrs. Peabody? I said ‘Yes,’ and them the woman—it was a woman—said: ‘I'm very sorry to trouble you, but could you get Mrs. and Mr. Parks to the ’phome. It's something very mm . . “I thought that was about the limit. I said: “No, I don’t see how I can. I'm very busy and I would have to dress and—no, I'm sorry, but I can’t do it.’ “‘Oh, very well; excuse me for troubling you,’ she said in a sarcastic voice and the receiver was shut off. “Now, would you believe it? After all the pains I’ve been to to be nice to them those people are just as cool as can be since then. I suppose they are offended, but I don’t know what they could have expected me to do.” — Chicago News. ~ British Army Temperance.

Penny- packer today approved a bill making it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of from $100 to $300 for anyone to give or sell a cigarette or cigarette paper to any person under the age of 21 years. The new law amends the act passed by the Inst legislature which merely pro- hibited the sale of cigarettes to minors. Other bills approved were as follows: Permitting children residing in school districts in which no public school is maintained to attend a high school in some other district located near their homes and providing for the payment of cost of tuition and school books. Providing for voting of shares of stock in corporations held by execu- tors, administrators, guardians and trustees and the manner of voting. Authorizing the appointment of a commission to codify the laws relating to divorce and to co-operate with other states in securing uniformity of divorce legislation in the United States. Supplement to the act of July 7, 1885, to confer upon courts of common pleas jurisdiction of a court of equity in all cases of dower and partition and pre- scribing the method of procedure.
