what is going on in the line of family mat
ters, but they do not know everything.
They know coed deal about cases of ILL
ness, for they prescribe for the sick folks.
1t is queer thing, yet nevertheless it is
TACT, that many sick people do not take
the medicines which the physicians pre-
scribe for them. The story is a familiar
one of the aged colored person who sWal-
lowed the paper on which the doctor had
writ en- his prescription, and then reported
that it did him great deal of good. An
other old story is on record of venerable
Scotch dame who, on recovering from i'll
ness, told the doctor that if he would look
"up there on the shelt' he would find all
the things he had prescribed for her. She
was of thrifty turn of mind, and thought
she would save them instead of doing such
a wastefll thing as to swallow them.
A highly cultured lady remarked to the
writer: 81 di like medicine, and never
take any if can help it. 1 have had the
doctor many times when have been sick,
and have let him prescribe for me, but l
don't take the things. There is one
preparation which l do take it is pleasant
to take, and I know all about it, for it has
done me much good. That is Browns
Iron Bitters."
There are men who know more about
siciaus do. These are the druggists. OF
course, they cannot follow up every bottle
of medicine they sell, for if they did that
they would have no time for anything
else. But they know by the quantity of
| any particular medicine they sell and by
| the way people talk about it, and come
back for more of it. how popular or other
Wise 10 medicine is, and whether or moi
| it is doing good. These druggists, let it be
| remembered sell a great many varieties
/ of medicine, to ali sol is of people and for
| the cure of all manner of diseases. The
writer recently, while taking his wals
abroad" called On some Of the leading
druggists Of Memphis, to see what they
had to say about medicines in general anC
Browns Iron Bitters in particular. HI
first called at the Griswold pharmacy, anC
| had talk with Mr.. Griswo d, who said
Il an safe in saying that Browns Irol
Bitters more than holds it's own amoni
the other tonics. We sell much more o
1t than of any other Bitters. l may men
ton that l think the price is too low
there is not great deal of money in hand
ling it. But it has become staple article
and we are obliged to keep it, for the pee
pie will have it."
Mr.. Renkert of 2l5 Main street, said
