A CASE OF PATENT MEDICINES
i». Talks on Health and Hygiene
by Samuel G. Dixon, M. D.
. As a further warning against the
incalculable amount of harm people
do themselves by resorting to various
drugs and patent medicines, which
W mentioned last week, I would
like to add from my personal ex-
perience a story typical of this prac-
tice. There are any number of simi-
lar ones I have come into contact
with, and any physician could tell
cores from his own experience.
This is the story of Henry, a col-
ored waiter years ago in a well
known restaurant at the corner of
Ninth and Chestnut Streets in Phila-
delphia. T stopped in there one day
to get lunch and as soon as I sat
down Henry approached me and in-
formed me he was especially glad to
see me that day. I asked him why.
“Well doctor,” he said, ‘“Ah’se
done got de consumption.”
I asked him why he thought so.
“Got a powerful bad cough; can’t
eat; can’t sleep; can’t keep no flesh
on me nohow.”
“Is that so, Henry?
get this cold?
“Bout two or three weeks ago.”
“What are you doing for it?”
“A friend done tol’ me to buy a
bottle of Dr. Blank’s Expectorant.
Jeen takin’ it steady ever since.
Reckon Ah’d been cured by this time
ef 1 hadn’t been powerful sick.”
Well, Henry didn’t need to go any
further after he had told me that.
He admitted in answer to my ques-
tions that the more he had taken of
the medicine the less he wanted to
eat and the more “miserable” he
felt. He said he thought that was
on account of his “consumption.”
I explained that it, was the medi-
cine and not the cold that was pro-
ducing this effect. I told him the
medicine had robbed him of appetite
and the cold was taking advantage
of the consequent lack of nourish-
ment and run-down condition and
nded by the prediction that if he
didn’t stop taking that Expectorant
and let his stomach recover, so that
he could enjoy again a good cup of
ffee, a nice lean piece of beef or
mutton, and perhaps some toast, he
would actually get the disease he
thought he had.
“Now, Henry,” I said, “I’m sorry
that I have to leave for Europe in
the morning. But I want you to
top taking that medicine at once
and go and get a good doctor and do
exactly what he tells you. You'll
soon be the same old Henry again.
I don’t believe you have consumption
vet. Give Nature half a chance and
she’ll throw that cold off. The Ex-
pectorant has destroyed your di-
gestion but as soon as that recovers
vou will be all right again.”
About six months later I returned
to Philadelphia and stopped into
the restaurant to inquire after
Henry. [ found him fat, healthy, and
his customary good-natured self. He
greeted me smilingly.
“You was right, doctor,” he said.
“That medicine surely was Killing
me. Soon’s Ah stopped it Ah done
cot hungry, Then Ah ate good
ictuals and got cured.
“Who was your doctor?”
“Well, Ah’ll tell you how dat was.
Ah jus’ began to git well so fas’ Ah
didn’t feel like Ah needed no
doctor.”
When did you
Perhaps that accidental meeting
vith Henry saved his life. Quack
medicines kill a great many people.
I don’t think Henry ever took any
more. I urged him to make good use
of his lesson and impress it upon
anyone else he might hear of who
about to make his mistake.
Medicine is a great power. In the
proper hands it is a power for great
good. In the wrong hands it is a
power for great evil. Medicine isin
the wrong hands when some un-
recoonized disease is treated on the
ha of the sick person trying some-
thine he has seen advertised, or what
friend recommends, or what
some druggist thinks he ought te
have.
When you are taken ill, you can-
not tell how ill you are or what is
the matter with you. Therefore it is
foolish to think you can know how
to cure yourself for the illness may
be of a serious nature. Don’t take
drugs that are recommended by any-
one but a doctor and don’t take
patent medicines. Go to a physician.
He is the man best qualified to ad-
minister medicine.

HOME HEALTH CLUB
Edited by Dr. David H. Reeder, Chi-
cago, Illinois.
Killing the business:—The medical
profession has for centuries made its
living out of the mistakes, accidents
and wilful misdeeds of the people
that it serves. Knowing that the
pay for his services can only be
secured on account of the sickness
or suffering of his patrons the pro-
fession as a whole and in many no-
table individual cases, has worked
steadily to overcome sickness and
diseases. Some have spent the major
portion of their lives seeking to edu-
cate the people up to the fact that
they themselves are largely responsi-
ble for their own suffering.
For a quarter of a century the
Home Health Club has been telling
people to stop over-eating and un-
der exercising. The latter part of
this advice does not apply to the
laboring people but to the profess-
ional and idle class. The time is now
drawing near when these instructions
are to be followed whether you want
to or not and happy will be that
family that has profited by the prac-
tical directions that I have given a-
bout diet, food values and the ad-
vantage of knowing how to prepare
the right combination with the least
labor.
In the Home Health Club book,
Vol. 1, you will find complete infor-
mation about the food values and in
the Home Health Club edition of
the Nature Cure Cook Book, you
will find complete directions for the
preparation and combination of all
kinds of wholesome and nutritious
foods for securing and maintaining
perfect *health through a simple and
natural diet.
Drying Vegetables: —Twice lately
I have called your attention to the
fact that the reason why fresh vege-
tables do not keep fresh is because
they contain so much water, When
the water is removed they will not
rot nor freeze, I have been so
swamped with inquiries for more
details that 1 must to a certain extent
“side step’ and throw the responsi-
bility on the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington. The matter has
already been taken up and an experi-
mental plant is now being operated
to determine the best and simplest
way.
The secret of retaining the deli-
cate volatile oil that gives odor and
flavor to fruit and vegetables is the
all important part of the information
and I am informed on very good
authority that the Agricultural De-
partment will soon give this informa-
tion to about 1500 lecturers, who
will rapidly cover the south first and
then follow north with the growing
season. Those of you that have a
steam cooker can experiment a little
for yourselves with a small slow
kitchen plant. Try this and report
results.
Prepare vegetables just as you
would for the table by peeling, wash-
ing and slicing, then subject them
to very hot steam, time to depend
upon the kind of vegetable; potatoes,
carrots, parsnips and beets from 2%
to 10 minutes according to the in-
tensity of the heat. Secalding, live
steam over the raw surface of these
vegetables for 215 minutes will not
injure the starch cells but will pre-
vent the escape of the volatile oil
during the drying process, There
should be a free eirculation of moist
air through the drying oven if an
oven is used, but the vegetables
may be spread thinly over screen
trays or shelves and dried with the
heat of the cook stove by arranging
the trays in tiers like you fix an oat
sprouting device for growing green
chick feed. Several trays can thus
be arranged over the stove, as the
process progresses to the dry state
the trays should be changed, placing
the bottom tray on top and proceed-
ing in rotation with each tray until
the entire product is bone dry and
hard as dry wood. This will take
from 2 to 4 hours according to the
kind of vegetables and degree of
heat.
When the process is finished one
bushel of dried potatoes will equal 5
bushels of fresh and one hundred
pounds of dried cabbage will equal
800 pounds of the fresh and this
product will keep for years. Keep
trying, you may spoil a few pounds,
but the results will justify the ef-
fort. Those that have small steam
canning outfits can easily adopt
them to this service.

MEETING OF AUTO CLUB
Forty-five New Members Were Elect-
ed at Maytown Friday Night
Forty-five new members were
elected at the regular monthly meet-
ing of the Lancaster Automobile
Club held on Friday evening in the
band hall at Maytown. Each month
sees a big addition to the member-
ship roll which now comprises about
fourteen hundred names.
Reports were received of speed
traps on the Columbia turnpike on
the outskirts of Lancaster and at
Marietta. It was decided to erect
warning signs at the former place
for the protection of tourists and to
advertise the conditions existing at
Marietta where on one day sixty-one
arrests were made for alleged viola-
tions of the automobile laws.
Regret over the resignation of
State Highway Commissioner Black
whose aid had been enlisted in the
toll abolition campaign in Lancaster
county was expressed in the adoption
of the following resolution presented
by George D. Brientnall:
" Where Frank B. Black, the late
State Highway Commissioner, having
been injustly forced to resign, for
reasons well-known to the general
public; therefore, be it.
Resolved, that we, the members of
the Lancaster Automobile
hereby deprecate such action as being
against the interest of good and free
roads, and that a copy of this resolu-
tion be sent to Mr. Black.
The club decided to appoint a com-
mittee to call on the street officials of
Lancaster in the interest of securing
street improvements, the committee
to report at the next meeting, and
elected the following: W. Frank
wu
Gorrecht, M. T. Garvin and R. V.
Alexander.
Why Lancaster county’s repre-
sentatives in the Legislature voted
against the bill providing for lights
on all vehicles was asked by C. A.
B. Zook, and at his suggestion the
secretary was instructed to write to
each representative and ascertain the
reason.
The following resolution by Mr.
Brientnall was adopted: :
Resolved, That a steering commit-
tee of three or five be appointed to
devise ways and means looking for-
ward to the nomination and election
of county commissioners who favor
free and better roads.
Complaints were received of a bad

“They are mustering in the Guard.”
Four times within the memory of liv-
ing men these tidings have sped from
Bp to lip throughout Pennsylvania,
Four times, while men's lips have
gd this terse message, men’s hearts
ve sensed a stronger tension and
Rey's pulses have known a quickening
For men know that the simple an-
douncement of this shifting of Guard
control from State to Federal hands
ean have but one interpretation—the
ncee—almost a lifetime ago—the
tidings presaged the storm and fury of
evil strife into which marched gaily
ihe Jenthiiul chivalry of Pennsylvania's
dlitia, to emerge, four years later,
stern and masterful conquerors.
A second time the message forecast-
J the clash of arms which broke the
tering grip of an old-world empire
wpon an unwilling new-world colony.
And again file upon file of Pennsylva-
nia Jouth was seen on its way to take
wp the cause of an oppressed people.
Once again—and this time so recent
that echoes of the measured tramp are
bardly stilled—the mustering-in meant
& long jaunt to the far southwest,
where the bright face of danger peer-
ed over the border.
Today—
“They are mustering-in the Guard.”
Well may the heart-tension tighten

ever to this speeding message.

Jone of a national peril of such &in-

goal of security looms up rugged. Al-
ready it is resounding to the tread of
armed men. The regular army is on
the move and now the call has gone
out for the country’s second line of
defense—the National Guard.
Pennsylvania once more is calling
ber doyal sons. It is a time of stir
bustle and furbishing of sword

of the Delaware to the shores of Lake
Brie. Armories are ringing to the clang
of weapons and stalwart young figures,

prevalence of military uniforms in the

Enlistment Beats Draft.
Isn't it better, by way of example,
for an eligible man to enlist, now, ia
a crack Guard regiment of his home
section, where he will stand shoulder-
to-shoulder with friends, than to hold
back until ordered into the service,
assigned, perhaps, to a newly-formed

All of these are assured to the man
who picks a home regiment.
On the other hand, none of these
things is assured to the man who waits
for a regiment to piek him. Voluntary
enlistment gives a surething choice.
But the only sure thing in store for the
man who waits is the gure thing that
he will have to go, if he is fit to go.
The Guard offers the same induce-
ment in variety of service that is of-
fered by the regular army. Infantry,
artillery, cavalry and engimeers are

Always maintaining the highest pay
of any army in the world, the army
service—both regulars and Guard—
has taken a new lead far beyond even
its old pay-roll standard. The rate of
pay for enlisted men is now $30 per
month and upwards.
Even at $30 a month there is a big
inducement to save. Since everything
is “found” for men in the service, ex-
penditures need only be for a few per-
sonal luxuries. It {is figured that a
man may easily save two-thirds of his
pay. There is a system in vogue by

it is to men of that calibre whom they
are appealing to make the Guard what

ROADMAKING STOPPED
State Highway Department Calls Off
Work at Mount Gretna
m’r
Awver hen-

Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew-
art visited the State auxiliary units
camp at Mt. Gretna Tuesday after-
noon and following his departure for
Harrisburg the announeement was
made of the abandonment by the
state highway department of all
camp roadmaking with the exception
of the stretch from the Mt. Gretna
postoffice to Colebrook.
It will be recalled that on June 1
last the State highway department
was given what was then declared to
be the impossible task of construct-
ing seven miles of state road,
traversing the big camp site, in six
weeks.
Scarcity of labor, despite alluring
wages, materials and equipment for
which almost exorbitant prices were
demanded proved too great a handi-
cap for the department and the
time for the completion of the
undertaking was extended to A
11. The additional month failed to
bring about the accomplishment of
the task, weather conditions pro
an added bad factor in the delay.
The expense of the road i
was borne by the adjutant general’s
the discontinuance with the ex
of the Mount Gretna-Colebrook
stretch. ’
Under the personal direction of
Deputy Highway Commissioner. Geo.
H. Biles and - Superintendent of
Construction James Sampson, a
force of 275 men had been at work
with road rollers, scrapers, tractors,
etc., but most of this working force
is to be di and alreac
