An effort is being mode to induce doc
tors to stop writing their prescriptions
in Latin and use United States language.
So many inoffensive sick people have
been killed by druggists putting up To-
bella and other dangerous drugs in place
Of SONS mild aud gentle purgative,
which the system requires, on a Latin
prescription Of ah N. D. physician,
that society at the East threatens 10
take the law into their own hands
and put stop to it. As usual
thing the physician who graduates with
high honors at some high-toned morgue,
does not know any more about the COM
mon English branches than is good for
him, and bis handwriting is the merest
goose tracks "a sort Of delerium tremena
on paper. Now, When you come to put
such writing as that into Latin, to be
read by sleepy prescription clerk who
has been routes out of bed at midnight
III bis shirt sleeves, there can only be
one result. The patient will be worse
mkt day. A sleepy drug clerk is
only human; and when he strikes one
Of those ingredients in the prescription
where IL tells him to put up three
saw-teeth OF podophylium, and the word
looks more ike pennyroyal than 1t does
like podophylIuin. and more like pepper
mint than either one Of them. he is liza.
Bile to trust / good denl to luck md put
in that whichis the least injurious. No
drug clerk cares to lose good position
by not being able to read a stroke
OF lightning; and the result ia he puts
UP something, and then charges enough
more to make up for what he doesn't
know. There are forty eight millions
Of people IN this country whose lives,
to greater or less extent. rest on
prescription clerks; and the eastern So
ciety who have flung their banner TO
the breeze ard sounded the death Of the
dead Languages, will be embalmed in
the hearts Of grateful posterity. They
are doing a noble work. Dead lam
guages are well enough for dead people;
but they are emincntly out Of place
in this age Of animated things.
OF course the looping off Of the excres-
cence will bring doctors down to level
with ordinary mortals. and they will
have to take their chances.
