Since last writing upon this subject ws
have received several communications
commenaatory Of our view and AZ We
nave facts IN our possession to substan.
uate the assertions maze, We will add
some evidences of the practical working
OF the miserable system now in Stoeue.
IL is a species of selfiRnorance which
seems like insanity for man to deliber.
ately place himself in the position of a
compounder of prescriptions knowing
little or absolutely nothing about the
business upon which he has embarked.
These gentlemen seem to be doing a
thriving business. They have q fine run
OF prescriptions, and make handsome
little sum out of toilet articles, soaps,
etc.
The explanation of this prosperity is
very simple. These soi,disant pharmacists,
upon opening their shops, canvass the
medical fraternity and bid for their pre-
scriptions, paying percentage for them.
Some doctors are In the habit of listen.
ing to these proposals, and finding
money in II send their patients to Tom,
Dick and Harry, who cannot construe
the simplest Latin sentence or solve a
simple question in chemistry to save
their lives.
We will cite case which occurred in
this city. A gentleman of q waggish
turn Of mind thought he would test the
capacity Of Louisville druggists one day.
So he sat down and wrote in a horribly
illegible hand several prescriptions in
Latin, which, when translated, read as
follows:
No. l. cant eggs and onion Juice"
No. =. compound fluid extract hydro
piper compunctuated."
No. 3. "Lizard oil, spirits camphor,
spirits hartshorn, spirits of just men
made perfect"
He went to a druggist in the East End |
md pretended to be countryman with
! bad boil on his back. The man of |
'ottles declared that he would fill the
prescription handed him, which was
10. /.
The patient wanted to know the cost.
nd was told it would be dollar and a
lalf. He left and went to another drug
tore, and with the same result. He
listed several druggists, showing them
he different prescriptions, and they
ravely prepared to fill them. He ask.
d them what the medicine was, and an
spring compounder of prescriptions
old him that the No. was bromide of
'otash and Luperline. 1t had been
Tritten in Latin, " Ant eggs and onion
nice." He took one of the prescriptions
o an experienced German druggist, who,
pom looking At it, said that the doctor
rho wrote it was ''tam swindler," who
meant only one druggist, with whom he
lad made q bargain to read it, as the
Iriting was perfectly iliegible to others.
ne prescription No. 8 was perfectly
lain to the druggists previously APP
lied to, and they were getting down
heir little bottles to put up "the
pirits of just men made perfect and
zard OIL"
This is NO exaggeration, but fact. and
ne sooner the city is we'll rid of such
sses the better it will be for the people,
nd the worse for the undertakes.

A FIXED FACT IN PHARxAcY.-Con.
sidering the multitude of diseases, il ia
amazing that we live; in view of the
countless remedies for them, it is won.
derful that we die. Unfortunately.
however, all the diseases are realities
whereas most of the remedies" are
hnmbugs. One exception to the latter
rule demands the recognition and ap.
proval Of the press. We refer to DR..
JOSEPH WALKER's VINEGAR BIrrERs. Of
the Doctor himself we know nothing;
but OF his medicine we can speak from
observation, for it seems to have found
its way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in

other preparation, although it has not vet

We 90 we hear Of it, and whenever We hear of
it, the comments on it's efficacy are enthusi.

liver complaint, remittent fever, fever and

And yet another use has been found
for wood. Wooden pegs, made by the
same machine as shoe pegs, are now
largely used for fastening boxes, and
manufacturers receive large orders from
the West for inch pegs for this purpose.
In China, Japan and Hindostan, pegs of
bamboo have always been used in fast.
ening tea chests and wooden packages.
The idea Of using wooden nails seems to
US good one. The treenails used in
chip building are an example of the
value of such wooden nails. The rust.
ing Of nails exerts very destructive &C.
ton on timber, and it will be avoided by
the use of wooden pins. Moreover, it is
almost certain that before many years
pass away, wood will become SO valuable
that it will not pay to use the material
Of packing boxes for frewood, as is at
present done. Now, so long as iron nails
are used, it becomes a destruction of
tools to use old lumber. The use of
wooden nails will obviate this difficulty.

Mr.. W. n. Dickson, who lives near
Ces Arc, while passing through an old
flld grown up with weeds, had his at
tention attracted by noise few rods
distant, and went to see what caused il.
He discovered two large mathematics
fighting, and watched the bat lie for
sometime. They would raise their heads
nearly three feet from the ground and
strike at each other, inserting their
poisonous fangs in the bodies Of each,
and then release themselves and do the
same thing over again. During the
hight they would occasionally emit a
white looking fluid from their mouths.
Mr.. Dickson shot one of them, and the
other escaped. He afterwards found
the other dead near where the battle
was fought. One of them was five feet
long, large, and had seventeen rattles.
The other was six feet long, slender, and
had twenty-six rattles. This is the first
time we ever heard of rattlesnakes fight.

A NOVEL CEREMoNY.~-The ceremony of
choosing coapGdreS and conaddTeS for the
coming year-a custom peculiar to the peo-
pie of Spain and Mexico-Was perform ed
upon the advent of the new year by some of
the ladies of San Diego. The custom is an
old one, and it's origin dates back many
years. The manner of it's performance is as
follows: The names of ladies and gentlemen
known to be mutually acquainted are writ
ten upon slips of paper and deposited in hats,
the name of lady being drawn simultaRe-
ously from one hat with that of a gentleman
from another, two whose names are thus
drawn to be conspGdreS and con10dreS to each
other for the year. The obligations incurred
toward each other by the relationship are
very simple. The gentleman is to be the es-
cort Of the lady on any and every occasion
that she may desire; and she, in tarn, must
consider herself engaged for any and every en-
tertalnment which he may wish to attend.
OF course the relationship can be dissolved by
mutual consent, either temporarily or per-
manently, during the period for which the
agreement is made. The custom is an agree
able one in this particular, that 1t insures to
both lady aDd gentleman an escort or com
poniOn, thus doing away with the Disagree
ableincidents which sometimes occur through
not having partners for an entertainment.
And it also secures to the lady having com.
padre the positive certainty OF having some
one to dance with at every ball.-San Diego
