The small Po1 PessiIence.

According to the best authenticated re-
ports, the plague of small poI, instead Of di-
minishing, is rapidly increasing in Montreal.
Efforts are being made by the business men
OF the city to suppress the actual condition
of affairs hence the contradictory reports
which are published In different neWspa pers.
But there is no concealing the fact that the
number of cases Of small pox in the city in
creases daily. The cArelessness Of the pOpu-
lation Of the city Is amazing. Many Of the
poorer Glasses not only resist vaccination and
disregard all sanitary precautions, but per-
sons have been actually found upon the
streets while suffering from the early stages
of the disease, thus scattering infection right
and left For the credit Of the Roman Gath
Ollie clergy It must be said that, instead OF
encouraging the people to ignore the disease
az on previous visitations, they have advised
vaccination from their pulpits and told those
who are sick TO stay at home. The running
of through cars between Montreal and Boston
has been stopped, and the railroad companies
have generally taken all possible means ia
keep the disease from crossing into the states.
There has been no spread of the disease al

Miatakea OF Druggists UnnecsasaFy.
Tribune reporter who dropped into CasWell
Hazard COS pharmacy under the Fifth Avenue
Hotel yesterday, found the head OF that firm In
hearty sympathy with the public In the recent fatal
mistakes. He said II only by patronizlng phArmA-
ces that known to be responsible aud trnstworthy
that such evils be avoided. There are few bus-
ness Arms that can boast Of an ancestry Of lO5
years, and such firm is entitled to speak with
thority. The compromising and sale of medicines,
the reporter found by inquiry, be reduced 10 q
system Of almost absolute immunity from accident
The precautions taken by CaswelI, Hazard Co.,
who are among the most eminent Druggists OF the

der their and rigid system assistants are held TO
such strict accountability aud TO such positive rules
Of action that Is almost impossible for TO

are tested In the laboratory before going into stock
The firm is thus certain that druga purchased are OF
the reputed or required purity aud strength. All
drugs going from the laboratory to the general stock
carefully checked to insure the right article being
placed In the right drawer or bottle. Each preacrp-
ton presented is numbered on the back aud . check
with corresponding number IL given the customer
when the prescription Is made up the compromising
clerk leaves the bottles containing the different nRre-
dients on the counter with the compound In front Of
them. The check clerk holds the prescription, while
the compromising clerk calls from memory the name
and quantity Of each ingredient, the former check
ing the items and verifying the each bottle
with those in the prescription. When this done, the
check clerk, who is an experienced druggist exam
ines the compound as to appearance and quality.
With powerful poisons the check clerk stands by the
scales 10 note the weight watch aud verify
the drops In case Of liquids II is not possible for
medicine to be wrongly given OUT since the customer
on presenting the check receives the compound OF the
