PREPARED BY
E.C. 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.”

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.” —

GREAT SOUTHERN COMBINATION.
The Sunny South with This Paper
for only $1.60 for Both One
Year.
The Sunny South, of Atlanta, Ga., is
the South’s great, literary weekly. Its
wide circulation in over 60,000 homes
proves its popularity where it is well
known. It is devoted to literature, ro-
mance, fact and fiction, and its well
edited and interesting columns each
week make good the wide claim that is
urged for it.
The continued stories are from the
best authors and the interest is main-
tained from week to week by the liberal
installments that are presented. Its
short stories, sketches, anecdotes, inci-
dents of travel and adventure, poems
and paragraphs, giye it a life and genu-
ine interest not found in ordinary story
papers.
The Sunny South is rapidly becoming
the family story paper forall American
firesides. It is not sectional in any
sense, and yet it ig truly Southern in
ite literary excellence. .A subtle charm
steals out from its columns, suggesting
balmy breezes, sunny skies and sweet-
scented, delightful landscapes. It is
dolent of a life and civilization that is
peculiar to the South, or we might say
that is more intensely American. A
sample copy will be sent free to all who
will send a postal card request, which
shall contain also the names and ad-
dresses of six of your neighbors, to the
Sunny South, Atlanta, Ga.
We have made a clubbing arrange-
