The Danger of the Employment of Opiate
In Infancy.


In Infancy.
Notwithstanding the numerous warn
ings which are so frequently given OF
the danger Of the employment of
opiates in infancy the soothing influ-
ence still claims its votaries and its
victims. In the last case which has
come under our notice four drops OF
laudanum were administered by the
mother to a child about I've months
old, and. in spite of ST. os. 4uent treat
ment, the child died. The case is per-
fectly typical. The child had been
artificially fed from six weeks old, and
when it became very irritable, the
opiate was lgnorantly given withou,
any medical advice. 1t is highly prob.
able that had the child been properly
attended to, some slight error of diet
or digestion would have been dis
covered, and the life saved by judiciou,
feeding and comparatively trivial treat
ment- Only after two hours and
half, on becoming alarmed by the
sound sleep, did the mother call in
help. The verdict, as usual. amounted
only TO accidental death" but the
coroner made some very strong re-
marks upon the ease with which
pcisons could be obtained. The dam
ger of opiates In infancy are sufficient
" appreciated by the profession, but a
lingering fondness for soothing potions
lurds In the minds OF many OF the wise
women Of the poorer classes Until
this is eradicated. or until further re-
strictions are placed upon their sale.
1t Is 20 be feared that the infant NOR
tally from this cause will continue tc
be very high. London Lancet.

Campaign Les and forgery.

We challenge any reputable or re-
sponsible Democrat to father the Idol
lar-a-day lie that is being circulated.
They dare not 10 it. They prefer to
act the part of n "fence" among
sneak-thieves, handling and disposing
of goods stolen by others The Jour
nal has nothing to do with brainless
and characterless scamps or irrespon-
sible liars and libelers; but if any re.
sponsible person or representative OF
any responsible organization, on behalf
of the Democratic party, will come to
the front and father this lie we will give
them a chance to prove 1t very quick.
But of course the responsible leaders
of the party will not do it. They would
rather hide behind an anonymous libel
which they know to be false. and put
forward notorious cranks and profess
sional liars to do the dirty work they
are willing TO profit by. The work
they are engaged in is morally as base
as uttering forged paper or pass
ing counterfeit money, the only differ
ence being that the latter would sub
ject them to legal penalty. But some
men regulate their moral principles by
the penal code, and regard every thing
as honorable that is not punished by
fine and Imprisonment. Indianapolis

A Democratic Insult.

The commercial travellers have no
reason to love the Democratic party
and they have less reason to-day than
they ever had 10 either love or respect
il.
The Democrats in Congress have al
ways opposed every bit of enlight-
ened legislation in the interests of the
commercial travellers.
President Cleveland has frowned up
on such legislation. and now comes
the Democratic newspaper of largest
circulation in New York, with this
mean insult.
The New York World on Monday.
September a, had this 10 say in its
editorial columns:
General Harrison was visited Saturday
last by delegation OF drummers 10 whom he
talked Protection in The usual fiatulent style.
Between the pol teal bummers and the com
mercial drummers and the ragmen and the bag
men Mr.. Harrison is having a halycon and To-
Siferous time The grass in his front yard must
wear a woe egone aspect By This time"
How different is this from General
Harrison's manly and respectful re-
marks to the commercial travellers.

Proof Better Than Assertion.

With such proof as the following letter
from w. H. Dean, of No. 27S Seventh street,
New York, Z is not necessary to make the
bare assertion that ALLcoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs cure lumbago. Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago / was taken with a
very violent pain in the small of my back
IL was so severe that l could hardly
breathe; every movement caused great
agony. / finally found out il was lumbago.
Being entirely helpless, friend sent to a
druggist and got two ALLCoCK's PoRoUs
PLAsTERs; these were well warmed and
applied to my back, one above the other.
In half an hour, TO my great delight and
surprise, found the pain began to abate.
In two hours / was able TO walk out and
attend TO my business, the pain being al
most gone. Next day was all right but
continued wearing the plasters for a week.
