Label Poisonous Prescriptions.

Medical and Surgical Reporter.
This warning is suggested by a most
lamentable occurrence that took place
recently in this city.
A physician prescribed some pills
containing strychnia, with the direc-
tons that one should be taken before
each meal. The prescription was filled
at a most responsible drug store.
The label on the box contained the
directions for use and the doctors
name.
Several friends of the person for
whom the strychnia was ordered were
assembled together, when one com.
menced to banter the other, and they
dared each other to eat lot of the
pills. The challenge was accepted,
with the result that there was one
death in few hours, and three or
four very sick people, whose lives were
saved only by the most prompt and
energetic measures.
The remark has been made, in con.
nection with this case, that persons
who are fools enough to eat lot of
pills deserve to be killed.
This, however, is clearly an errone-
GUS view to take of the matter. 1t is
a common practice among druggists to
dispense poisonous liquids in blue boil.
ties, and to paste the word "poison" in
large letters in conspicuous place.
Would it not be we'll to establish the
same rule with reference to poisonous
pills and powders I? 1t is hardly like.
ly that any amount Of bantering would
induce even the most ignorant person
to swallow an indefinite and unpre>
scribed quantity of any pills or pow
ders, while the word "poison" and the
characteristic and suggestive skull and
croSs>bones were staring them in the
face.

in regard to breaking up sod land in
the autumn. 1t is possible, as some
claim, that there is a loss from drain.
age But if anyone will pillow my
land in the fall, will run the risk.
But what have specially in mind is,
land not occupied with any crop-corn
land, potato land, bean land, stubble
land and weed land. Stick in the
pillow if you can spare the time; if not,
harrow or cultivate. Better still, do
both. Light, sandy land, plowed and
prepared in the autumn, can be sown
in the spring without blowing. Heavy
land, if plowed and worked in the
fall, may need blowing again in the
spring, but the work will be easier and
the land better. Keep the horses busy
until snow flies. But the earlier the
work is done, the better, One plow-
ing while the land is dry is worth two
plowings when it is wet.

A Cure for the Taste for Strong Drink

There are many drinkers who can
break up the habit for time, and who
would gladly refrain from ever touch-
ing it again but an uncomfortable thirst
for the beverage attacks them and
never lets up until they give way. A
prominent gentleman in Richmond,
Va, tells how he broke this up: 81
was one of those unfortunates given to
strong drink. When left off | felt a
horrid want of something l must have
or 60 distracted. | could neither eat,
work or sleep. Explaining my Attic
ton to man of much education and
experience, he advised me to take
decoction of ground quassla, a half
ounce stepped in pint Of vinegar, and
to put about small teaspoonful of it
in little water, and to drink it down
every time the liquor thirst came on
me violently. l found it satisfied the
cravings, and it gave feeling Of slim
illus and strength. I continued this
cure and perservered until the thirst was
conquered. For two years l have not
tasted liquor, and / haYe no desire for
it. Lately to try my strength, I have
handled and smelt whisky, but have
no temptation to take it. l give this
for the consideration of the unfortu-
nate, several of whom / know have re-
covered by means which l no longer
require. Exchange.

ought not to be employed. Far be it
from me to advocate low salaries.
Again, l had no reference to political
papers; meant educational papers
no teacher who takes only a political
paper can ever receive instructions
from it, to make him a competent
teacher, therefore, if teacher will not
go to some good school or college to
improve his facilities to teach, he
ought to subscribe for several of the
good educational journals, and re-
ceive all the instructions he can Gull
from them, and by so doing love for
further instructions would be inculca-
ted. would recommend the South
western Journal of Education as being
one Of the foremost for that purpose
from it love for instruction would
grow up in him. No teacher should
assume the duties of teaching, when
he himself knows he is incompetent,
and if he attempts to teach with these
facts known to him, he is unworthy of
any salary at all, or place in a school,
room as a teacher for high or low
salary. Let all who aspire to teach
be educated men, thoroughly familiar
with the mother tongue: all such
should be encouraged and well paid
for their services. The system Of a
careful study of language should not
be ignored. OFFICIAL
