some pharmacists can cure an unim-

some way OF preventing the use of old
prescriptions. AT present, when pre-
scription has been once filed n drug
store, there is no trouble in getting it
renewed without the orders OF physi-
clan. There is also very loose meth
cd of selling narcotics in most OF our
drug stores, which is a crying evil.
Physicians are made responsible for
much evil that occurs from the amateur
practice of medicine. Parents are too
often in the habit of using old prescrip-
tons when the symptoms of a disease
resemble that for which the prescrip-
ton was originally given. This is play
ing with fire with vengeance. ~

Children Drugged by Nurses.

Recently correspondent of the San
called attention 10 a practice in which
some coachmen have been detected in
saving themselves trouble by dosing
spirited horses with narcotics. A re
putable physician. with whom Il report

when a child is cross. peeyish, fretiul,
restless and troublesome, il is not an
unusual thing for a physician to be
called, who prescribes a 'guieting

Wealthy parents think they can

that children grow up stnpetied under
! the influence of drugs, with their men,
n tai faculties impaired, and with taste
for stimulants that often leads them TO
drunkaris' graves. No children are so
fortunate as those of the moderately
well-oif persons who have means SUI

household cares. but who give to their
children that personal care, that

stores do lively trade in various nos
trums with fancy names which are
simply well-known narcotics in dis
guised form. Opium is the commonest
ingredient. The amount OF this stuff

and nurses utterly ignorant OF its
dcleterioas effects. II produces dis
orders of the gestiye organs. con-

ills.
What is the remedy? Intelligent
parents must not either use these per-
nicious drugs nor permit them TO be
used with their children. Strict watch
must be kept for symptoms that will
hetray the surreptitioas use of the
drugs. Thus only can growing abuse
be stopped which threatens 20 inilict
serious damage ON the rising genera

sloop of war, the Doteral, which was
blown up at Sandy Point, in the straits of

There were two explosions, the first sup

for condensing sea water, and the second
was in the forward magazine. In three
minutes the vessel went down, bow fore
most, in eight fathoms of water. Nothing
was seen after the second explosion but a
few planks. The survivors saved their
lives by jumping overheard after the first
explosion, and were rescued by boats from
the sealing vessels and from the yacht of
the Bishop of the Falkland Islands. Com

several peasants were killed by the falling
rafters. -Four grain warehouses and near
ly all the buildings around the railway
station were burned at all stations along

plundered and burned. Austrian frontier
towns are crowded with fugitives. At Odes-

Jews have fled and poor ones are in a

Bella Knettler. The coroner, who had
taken down in his note book a complete
