proved an ample one. At any rate we

4 National Convention


A few days ago a convcn-
ton Of Patent Medicines was
held at Mt. Vernon-a place
whose interest centers in the
dead. 1t was considered a fit
and significant place for a
national gatheringofI this kind.
Il was we'll attended; dele
gates coming from all parts
Of the country. The press
were excluded from its delib-
erations, but a representative
of @our advocate" is enabled,
through the leakiness OF an
excited member, to relate
some of the proceedings.
The Balsam Family sent
severaldelegates. The Syrups
and the Balns sweetened the
gathering but could not heal
the animosities. Many OF the
Oils were there to lubricate
the proceedings. The ven,
cradle Sarsaparillas received
the homage due to old age.
Large numbers ofthe Plasters
were seen at the Back and
Sides. But by far the largest
representation came from the
family of" Bitters." 1t is said
only one member of that fam,
ily was absent. The cause OF
this absence was explained by
the subsequent proceedings:
The presiding officer, selected
chiefly on account of his size
and the noise he could make,
was S. Kidney. Scarcely had
he called the convention to
order when the real object OF
the gathering was developed.
A member of the aged Sarsa-
parilla family came fcebly for
