quAcKs AND PATENT MEDICINES.

The state of Missouri has adopted
stringent measure against quacks. No
one is allowed to practice medicine in
Missouri unless holding diploma from
medical college OF recognized stand
ing. All other practitioners !. must
undergo an examination before the state
board of health, which consists of seven
members, including two physicians.
Every county clerk is required to keep
list of authorized medical practitioners!
in his district, and the health board
keeps list for the entire state. This
law applies also to dentists and bone
settlers. Dealersin patent medicines are
required to take out special licenses
and persons violating any Of these pro-
visions are subject to fine Of not less
than $50 and not more than $500, or i'm.
prisonment up to whole year. It is a
unique fact that, in this respect, Mas
sachusetts is among the least protected
states in the Union, and that Boston in
particular is q very paradise for quacks.

A Perilous Journey,

II rom the toronto Globe
Two sprigs of the nobility, the one
English and the other Austrian, who left
Victoria last fall to cross the Rocky
Mountains on the Yellowhead trail, have
just arrived in the city. They tell ter
rible tale ofwhat they went through on the
trip. ltwas too late when they started, and
the excellent fishing along the Thompson
Rriver temped them to put off the difficult
part OF the journey untile winter had
actually set in. They managed, how
ever, to keep on the trail, but the deep
snow, in the canyons made their progress
very slow, and as they could not get any
hay for their horses two of the animals
soon died, and the other team were
reduced to mere skeletons. They could
hardly draw the tent and other utensils
OF camp life. About half way across
the mountains their food supply gave
out, and starvation stared them in the
face. They trudged along for two days
without bite but few frozen biscuits
and the bark of trees. They camped at
mig ht in the shelter of huge projecting
rock, and while gathering wood to make
a fire one of them discovered cave near
by, which he entered from curiosity.
thinking it would make good grave for
them. To his astonishnent and delight
he found quantity of ham, buffalo
meat, and corn meal in it, moldy, but
still very palatable food under the circum-
stances. 1tmust have been.stored there
by surveying party in 1876, as this
was the date OF papers found among the
parcels. They made fresh start, carry
ing all the provisions they could on their
backs, and by the middle of January
they descended into the Peace River val
ley, where band of Indians supplied
them with enough frozen fish to last
them till they reached Edmonton. They
were none the worse for their adventure.
but they would not care to 30 through
it again. Like Joaquin Miller's squaw,
they look as wrinkled and brown as bag
of leather.
