The Rational Use of Medicine.

Nothing indicates more clearly the mod
ern progress of medicine than the disap-
pearance of the bulky and disagreeable
boluses, powders, draughts. and mixtures
which the physicians of former times ad-
ministered to their patients, in many cases
with but little effect except to put an adj
ditional burden upon an already wearied
and overloaded stomach. The homeos
pathic physicians have, at least, shown that
no medication at all will result in an equal
number OF cures in great majority of
cases, while the present tendency of all
schools of medicine is to limit their pre-
scriptions. both in number and quantity
and place more reliance upon hygienic and
sanitary precautions, combined with the
wetchful and experienced nursing and care.
pa he philosophy of prescribing what are
really a very simple matter. It
is well-known fact that certain sub
stances, when taken into the system.
produce certain physiological effects. Thus.
opium and its alkaloids produce sleep, ipe-
Gao causes vomiting, quinine is found to have
remarkable power of controlling inter-
mittent fevers and SO on through the list,
There is really no difference between a
medicine and poison, except in the vio-
lence of its action; and, in fact, some of
the most powerful poisons are found to be
valuable meolclnal agents when admins
tered in minute doses. The scientific ply
sician, therefore. will not attempt to ''cure''
disease by any specific remedy, but will
endeavor to fully understand the cause and
nature of the abnormal physiological ac-
ton which is taking place in the system of
his patient. As the action of medicines is
very variable in different persons, and un-
der different conditions of the disease the
necessity of skillful medical attendance,
and the folly of depending upon the vari-
Gus widely advertised patont medicines is
evident.-Popular Science News.

A Tremendous Yictnrx

L he city of Helena has many things to be
proud of and one thing especially noted by
sight seers is the elegance of her residences,
Her people, approaching that fine residences
need fine furniture to match, are PUTTING
into their homes the best things in this line
that money will purchase. Realizing this
fact Mr.. G. w. jackson recently brought
into Helena two of the Decker Bros. finest
pianos finished in mahogany. One was
immediately taken by Prof. Young, of the
public schools, and the other after a hard
fought battle with the finest Steinway that
money could buy has been placed in the
home of Mr.. A. Il. Clarke, ST., the Decker
having beaten the Steinway in sweetness
and fullness of tone, beauty of finish and
in every point that the most critical musi-
clan could mention. Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke
are to be congratulated i'll having the finest
piano ever brought into Montana, it being n
fine sample of the work that the skilled
workmen employed by Messrs. Decker
Bros. can do and a credit to the enterprise
of Mr.. Jackson in bringing such instru-
ments to our city.
JacksOn's music house reports business
very fair. They go along quietly from week
to week making their usual number of sales,
not finding 1t necessary to advertise other
houses as thieves or swindlers to make sales,
but depending on their energetic rustling,
their well established reputation, the stand
ard quality of their goods and withal on
their well known square dealing and low
prices to sell their goods. Give them call
and get their prices before you purchase.

Senator Stanford was carried off to New
York last night by his wife, his private SEQ
rotary and some friends of his and will be
rushed OF to Europe as speedily as possible,
says tie st Louis Republic. There is NO
longer any doubt that on the subject of the
presidency Stanford is as crazy az loon
Some time ago he introduced q sesolutior
in the senate asking for one of the commit.
tees of that body to report on the expedi-
ency of making farm mortgages national
currency. A few days ago he introduced a
bill draughted in accordance with his orig
inal suggestion. He felt quite certain that
the. passage of this proposition would
make him the next president of the
United States. He has been in the
hands of a lot of political adventures
and scoundrels for many year past, and
from all accounts he has been bled very
freely. These adventures found out his
weakness, which was to obtain the presi-
dency, and they convinced him that if he
the road to the presidency was open to him.
It is said that he paid $4,000 to New
York specialist for the idea embraced in his
bill-that is. making farm mortgages
national currency. Tho clever rogue who
had been working him got up bureaus here
parts Of the country stating that the farm
ers OF the country were going wild with de-
light over the Stanfoed project, with incl
dental reference in each communication
that nothing short of Stanford as president
would satisfy the farmers. This craze has
been growing on Stanford for some time.
His partner, Huntington, discovered it six
months ago and took steps Immediately to
have him turned out of the presidency of
the Southern Pacific railroad company.
since his return to Washington he has been
almost exclusively in the hands of the
sharks and Adventures, and his pocket
book was being depleted at remarkably
brisk rate. His friends held q consultation
and resolved to push him off to New York
and from there to Europe. Ho will prob
ably sail for Europe in day or two and

craze continues.
There are number of patriots in WASH
ington tonight feeling blue. Their feel
ing, IN fact, is as if their bank had burst.
They thought they had dead sure thing of
getting good portion of Stanford's fortune
away from him before 1892. They had it
cooked and primed to run him for the presi-
dency anyway as the farmers candidate.
and felt assured that they could keep on
bleeding him until after the presidential
election in the fall of 1892. Huntington.

and much common sense, and he discovered

Stanford takes his seat in the senate again
