That Medicine Bill Again.
FEBRUARY %, 1888.

Editor Ddily Times
Sir.-Your correspondent, signing him
self another member of the State Medi-
cal Society" seems to me to misconceiye
the effect of the amendment (nOw before
the Senate) to the law regulating the
practice of medicine and surgery in this
State. We have in this country, as am
informed, more than one hundred medi-
cal schools, with population of 6O,0OO,-
600 of people, free to enter them. Can any
one argue that a proposition TO raise
the standard OF medical education could
bs tortured into a monopoly scheme'
The charge that the Board is unfair in
its examination is snguLar. The appli-
cants are known 10 the Board only by
numbers, which are handed TO the secre-
tary, and are known to him and the dp-
plicant only.
The statements made by the gentleman
in regard TO the recent changes OF the
boards of Illinois and California by which
diplomas are disregarded, show the neces-
sity for striciness in this direction.
Finally, Mr.. Editor, this Board should
not be regarded 10y the opponents OF this
measure, as entitled above, to praise for
the benefcent workings of the system so
long needed for it is the outcome OF a
deliberate and well-considered effort
started years ago, at the time Of the
formation of the Medical Society of Vir-
ginia, by that body, composed of about
700 of the leading physicians of the state.
When medical colleges degenerate into
mere advertising machines, paying their
professors little or nothing except by
advertising them, and taking students
who don't know English, let alone Latin
and Greek, think it is time for all the
States to have Boards, and Boards that
will recognize no diplomas.
Now, in conclusion, would like 10
refer anyone interested 10 members Of
the Board for copies of the papers hand
cd in by some of the applicants. Shades
of Galen, they would make horse
laugh MEMBER OF MED. SocY
OF Va, No. 3.
P.S.-It is argued by some of the
opponents OF this measure that as medi
cine is an ineXact science, and therefore
10 some extent experimental, that there
is no necessity for rigid examinations
The answer is plain the greater the need
of skilful experimenters

The General Railway Bill.

The Senate Committee on Roads, SEN
ator HeatOn chairman, held a meeting
last night 10 consider the general rail-
way bill now before the Legislature. The
bill provides for allowing any railway
company, desirous of building Il road, to
obtain charter upon complying with
certain conditions prescribed by the
measure. Its most meritoriOhs feature is
that it will do away with railway LOBBY
ing, which is now so common, and there
by relieve the members of eYen the sus-
picion of corruption.
The committee last night considered
the bill until a late hour, and adjourned
over until Tuesday.

WILLIAM AND NARY COLITGH.

Senate bill appropriating $4,000 an
nually to William and Mary College for
the purpose Of establishing normal
school there, was called up by Mr..
Starke of Norfolk city.
Mr.. Crawford OF Augusta moved to
commit to the Finance Committee.
Mr.. Starke hoped that would not be
done. The bill had been favorably re-
ported by the Schools and Colleges Com.
mittee, and must it run the gauntlet Of
all the House committees
Mr.. Gordon of Rappahannock said If
the Committee on Schools and Colleges
could report appropriations then all the
committees could do so, and there would
thus be practically dozen finance com
mittees and no concert of action.
Mr.. Cardwell (Mr. Hay of Madison in
the chain wanted the bill referred. He
was in favor of it but thought that the
States finances would not allow the APP
preparation.
MIR. Tyler of Richmond city opposed
reference. He thought that if the ap-
preparation was made and this school
established many donations from the
North would shower upon II.
Mr.. Moore of Clarke thought the bill
should 90 to the Finance Committee so
that that committee could map out
iudiciously the States appropriations.
Mr.. Martin of Norfolk county said that
the Finance Committee of the Senate had
passed favorably on the bill.
Mr. Anderson of ROckbridge was OPP
posed 10 beginning now this new addition
to our public school system, because the
finances of the State will not admit it.
Mr.. Daingerfeld of Essex thought at
least this little sum could be given 10
Tidewaler, which pays nearly half the
State IS taxes, when $ll0,000per year are
given TO The university and colleges IN
other parts of the State.
The House refused 10 refer Ayes, 81
noes, 4s.
Mr. Cardwell then opposed thepassage
of the bill. 1t was better 10 foster the
institutions we now have than burden
our empty treasury with new ones.
Mr. Buford Of Richmond opposed the
bill on the ground that the States finan-
cial condition would not justify her max
ing the appropriation.
The bill was pending when the House
under the rule went on the calendar

Bogus Baking Powder Tests

Rather ingenious but not less fraudu-
lent are the pretended tests OF baking
powders being made in many of our
kitchens by agents who are trying to fur
ther the sale of Chicago article. These
sO-called tests consist in mixing separately
with water sample of The baking pow
der found in the house and OF that carried
by the agent. From that found in the
house, if pure article, the bubbles of gas
will rise and burst on top like those from
a glass Of champagne. The Chicago bak-
ing powder which they carry, when
mixed with water. will show an extra
frOth upon the top of the mixture which
is claimed as evidence of superiority On
the contrary, however, il is not only the
exhibition OF a trick, bu, is absolute
proof that the baking powder which so
acts is adulterated. The chemists have
ascerlained that the adulterant used is a
chemical added for the express purpose
of producing this action and deceylng
housekeepers as 10 the true value OF the
baking powder. This is not only dis
honest trick, but dirty one, for the
chemical is the product OF the filthy re
fuse of the slaughter house, and if this
baking powder is used in the preparation
Of food passes into the biscuit or cake
without change. OF course, any state
ments made in reference to other baking
powders, by parties caught in practising
such tricks as these for the purpose OF
deceiying the public. will be entitled to
no credit.
II is probably wisest in the interest of
our families, aad to prevent our food from
being contaminated by tramps of this

tempt 10 tamper with it unceremoniously
