Col. Ebenezer zlne, silss Zane and Jona-

what Is now known as the South Branch
Of the Potomac river, near the present
town Of Moorefeld, West Virginia, moved
farther West, with the intention Of re-
locating and settling on lands supposed to
be more desirable. They followed a trail
frequented by Indians and trsders to Red

Pa, and there, learning OF 8 beautiful and
fertile country bordering the waters OF The
Ohio river, they crossed the intervening
country TO the head waters Of the atreanl

The Philadelphia Medico.Legal Society
recently appointed committee to con-
slider the whole subject OF the relation be-
tween medical men and the druggists, the
latter being charged with trenching upon
the preserves Of the doctors. The COM
mittee, in their report, discuss the sources
Of the difficulty thoroughly and intelli'
gently, suggesting remedies which have
the appearance OF going to the bottom Of
the matter II they can be enforced. The
doctors court the pharmacists on account
OF the patronage controlled by them, and
mutual, but illicit and unprotessional
commission business is done in conse-
quence, doctors Of large practice being
paid for ordering their prescriptions OF
particular druggists, and doctors who have
practice to secure paying commissions on
patients. The doctors complain that the
druggists deprive them Of much lucrative
practice by selling medicines to sick per-
sons without the preliminary form OF a
prescription. The percentage business on
prescriptions, for which the physicians
are responsible, is more extensive than
people imagine, especially in large cities,
and. as the rebate has to be made good by
an extra charge for the drug, It becomes
an improper tax, which the patient has to
nav. 1t is alleged that some pharmacists
often resort to the substitution OF other
and cheaper drugs than those ordered by
the physicians, putting up qutnidia, Tor
instance, where quinine ia prescribed, and
furnishing diluted tinctures and extracts
instead OF the genuine article ordered to
be taken. The committee recommend
that pharmacists shall con6ne themselves
to legitimate business, sell no patent
medicines, cease from prescribing and
from renewing prescriptions on their
books, and that physicians compel them
to obey these rules under penalty Of with
drAwal Of patronage, But 1t is not prob
able that the druggists will submit to these
rules, which would deprive them oil
the most lucrative part OF their business,
and, in fact, would close halt the retail
drug stores In the country, these selling
more patent medicines" than any other
sort. In fact, the present oge is one Of
such general ecleCticism, not to say skepti.
cism, in regard to drugs, especially on the
part OF the less instructed masses, that
people will think themselves better able
10 dispense with doctors than with drug
stores. The suggestion that doctors should
compound their own medicines and do
without the druggists spstula aud mortar,
rs is done in country practice, is hardly
practicable. At the same time, the physI.
clan has substantial cause Of complaint
when bis prescription fails to benefit the
patient because 1t is not compounded Of
drugs OF the strength and purity which
his phaTmacopeia requires. In any such
case not only Is the patients life rlsked,
but the physician's reputation Is endang:
cred.
