THE TRADE DOLLAR.


lRirhmOn1 Enquirer
The Chinese have always been partial
to American silver. especially silver dol
lars, q large amount Of the coin OF this
country finding its way to the East;
When the "Trade-Dollar" was coined
it was thought that it would be q popu-
lar coin with the Chinese, and have q
large circulation among them. But M
ter u short time it was found that the
Chinese did not care for this new coin !;
i'm fact, they would have nothing to do
with it. The cause for time remained
u mystery, but it has been recently dis
covered by tests made ut one of the Gov
eminent mints, that these Grade Dol
lars were short Of the proper weight,
that on every million Grade Dollars
coin some one had been making 100000.
The Chinese, who are experts in such
matters. discovered the fraud, and re-
fused to patronize this short silver. This
is an exceedingly disgraceful transac..
ton A government Of the dignity OF
ours putting ont short weight coinage
Such u state of affairs i'm Mexico or o
South American Republic would not be
wondered at, but something better is to
be expected from these United States.
1t is not calculated to strengthen the
public credit at home or abroad.

Careless Handling of Fire Arms


MIR. EDIToR:-rhe shooting accident last
Sunday 10 Falmouth is indeed sad, but it is
nevertheless the result of careessness, aud the
only wonder is that there are no more frequent
and serious accidents by the careless use of
guns. The writer of this article has frequent
occasion to visit the city and many times dur
ing the year has to pass the muzzle of single
or double barreled gun carelessy carried
over the shoulder of a thoughtless man or boy.
The law of the state forbids that gun shall be
carried at less than an angle of As degrees in
places where its accidental discharge would be
liable to do injury. Of course few who carry
guns in careless positions are aware they are
breaking the law and are liable to be restrained.
Sunday cunning is growing evil, and if not
checked will soon be a serious annoyance. The
Presumpscot river and extensive sea shore of
Falmouth make it a favorite resort of gunners
and Sundays as well as week days the report
of the spoltsman's gun is often heard while
we are sitting in the house or in the church.
People who think it no harm to 60 cunning on
Sunday should at least know that other people
have rights as well as themselves, and be care
ful they do do not infringe npon them.

OWNERSHIP OF PRESCRIPTIONS
The Doctors and Druggist. at War.

curious dispu lie has arisen between the
physicians and druggists of this city in regard
to the ownership of medical prescriptions, and
at the next meeting of the Cumberland County
Medical Society doctors and apothecares are
to hold a conference regarding the matter. The
physicians contend that druggists should re-
fuse to fill prescription second time unless
it has been renewed by the doctor whose sigma
ture is attached to it. Frequently an empty
vial or pill-box with prescriptions pasted there
on is brought to drug shop, and apothecaries
have been accustomed to refill the box or vial
without question. The doctors contend that
this is all wrong, that prescription which will
do good alto ne time may work harm at another
under different circumstances and in different
condition of the patients system. They men
tion as illustration a case in which physician
prescribed for the removal of the placenta
after childbirth The prescription was used
with its desired effect, but the woman who pos
sessed it, being generous soul, passed it round
among her friends, and the result was no less
than fifteen abortions. This is, of course, an
extreme instance, but it is freely quoted as il
lustration of the bad workings of the practice.
III tnc otutr uduu, tuO uiuSSHoS COuteuu
that the prescription no longer belongs to the
physician after passing out of his hands; that
to renew it would often entail needless trouble
and expense; that no responsibility falls upon
the physician if the prescription be afterwards
mis-used They point to the case of man
who consults lawyer and pays for the advice.
Some time after matter arises which the
client conceiVes to involve the same point, and
he acts upon the old-time advice, without again
consulting the lawyer. If he mis- Judge the
application the fault is his own and no blame
attaches to the lawyer. So in the case of the
prescription. If the client misjudge his symp-
toms and wrongfully uses the old remedy, the
fault is wholly his own. At the same time the
druggists admit that discretion should be used
in the NATTER particularly in regard to pre-
scriptions liable to be abused. But they con-
tend that it is both vexatous and expensive to
require man who has simple prescription
for cough or dysentery to go to the doctor and
pay dollar or two every time he wants it re-
newed.
Such is the state of the matter, and very
pretty quarrel it is.
