Light Ouinine.


A Journal reporter sauntered into drug store
yesterday, and saw upon the counter large bot
tie filed with a snow-white focculent substance,
labeled Light Quinine"
what is light quinine9" inquired the reporter,
''Just what it is labeled" replied the man of
drugs. great many people, especially in the
towns and villages, buy quinine in bulk, 25 and
30 cents worth at a time, and dose it out them
selves 1t is difficult for the druggist to please
these customers, who always expect too much
for their money with old-fashioned Quinine, and
a manufacturer, to help the druggist and him
self, invented light quinine. The customer, when
he sees a quarters worth of that heaped out
thinks he is getting the full worth of his money
as it is just twice as bulky as the regulation
quinine. One ounce of the ordinary quinine
will fill a fveounce bottle, while an ounce of
this will fill a ten-ounce bottle
Don't you think some druggists will be tempted
to take advantage of their customers by selling
them light quinine instead of the other and Civ
ing them the same bulk, which would be only
half the value in weight
Perhaps so; though hardly think it likely to
occur as druggists are all honest. Light quinine
has no great sale in this city. 1t is more apt to
sell i'll rural communities"

Fotal

During the year 1883 insanity inquests cost
this county in fees as follows; In January,
$ll3. 3d. February. $l43 So; March, $125O5; April
O1.35; May, $34969; June, $285 So; July

October, $l83.15; November, $1327 70; December
$115. 20; total, So 1880.
This amount may hardly be worth mentioning
in large county like this, where the sheriff
each month. draws more than that amount for
the one item of feeding prisoners, but in addi-
tion to this large amount is paid for clothing
for the insane, who in a majority of cases, have
to be furnished with an outfit at the county,
expense before being sent to the asylum By
the side of some other expenditures, these
figures given this morning, may look small and
comparatively unimportant; but they are of that
class which. in the aggregate go to swell the
enormous total of county expenses, and to which
the scrutiny and unsparing scalpel of the COM
missioners should be applied until such legisla-
tive action can be taken as will give to counties
like Marion better system, cheaper and more
effective than the present cumbrous and ex-
pensive one. There must be reform in county
government, both in the method and manner.
