Medicines Had 20 Take.

From the London Daily News
The old-fashioned notice that 'sphysic' ought to
be "nasty," and that IL 1t Is not nasty it cannot
possibly do the patient any good, seems now I'm a
fair way to be ranked among exploded fallacies.
The Pharmaceutical Journal, which has played a
conspicuous part in dispelling this ancient delu.
sion, tells us that Intelligent physicians and sue
cesSiui practitioners now recognize the fact that
the influence Of the mind over the body is such
tnat the whims and rastidiousness or patients In
respect 10 nauseouS and offensive medicines s'can-
not consistently De ignored" But there is yet
another reason, as this authority reminds US. II
Is Wei known that patients often deceive their
doctor by secretly throwing away medicines that
offend the taste or are repulsive In appearance
and this even In cases where the successful action
or the failure OF the remedy is perhaps matter
OF lie or death. AS natural RESULT II the patient
dies or derives no benefit the doctor or the drug
or both, bear the blame. After this no one will he
surprised to learn that the past year has shown
greatly increased appreciation of everything that
tends not only TO definite Doses but also to conye
nience and palatability In medicines.

from the North 10 the southern boundary OF the
