they are prescriptions having been

invaNds have been unexpectedly cured
by their use, and they are the wonder
and dread of Doctors and Medical Col

sicians graduating at Medical Colleges
are required to discountenance Propri-
etary Medicines, Us through them the
county doctor loses his most profitable
practice. AS IL manufacturer of Pro-

lly,-in order to prevent the risk that
the sick and afflicted are liable to,
almost daily by the use of Patent Medi-
cines put out by inexperienced persons
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT only, and the EN-
ploying of inexperienced and incompe
tent doctors by which almost every
village and town is cursed; and men
claiming to be doctors who had better
be unGertakers, experimenting with
their patients and robbing them OF
their money and health, for the good
Of the afflicted that our government
protect its people by making laws to
regulate the practice Of medicine by
better experienced and more thorough

keep up the honor and credit of the pro-
fession, also form laws for the record

nected with the affair We have never
heard Of any good ana sutlicientr reason
given why there was not a thorough
and complete examination made at
the time when Mr.. William departed
or when the Territorial examiner was
here. That the tax of 1886 had not all
been collected or that the books did
not show the receipts of money and
the issuance Of tax receipts IN all cas-.
es is not sufficient. Those amounts
could be added or subtracted without
any trouble as they come to light, and
thus have given to the public long
! ago the information desired.
