BEWARE OF ANTIPYRINE.

A Brooklyn doctor writing to tbt
New York Tribune says: l desire &c
sound q note of warning against the
indiscriminate use OF antipyrine. Peo
pie are in the habit of using this dan.
gerous drug IN the most careless way
and the results often witnessed are
alarming.
An illustration: A lady patient OF
mine was visiting in a neighborine
town. She was taken with violent
headache, aud on the way to the depot
stopped at druggists aud asked ior
five grams of antipyrine. The druggist
told her that five grains would do nc
good; she had better take ten grains,
which she did. She had no sooner
reached the train than she was seized
with tainting, bathed in cold perspirs- :
ton, pulse sank to forty per minute and
only after extreme measures ana the
application OF powerful stimulants did
she recover her heart po wer,

drug we have. And we also know that
MANY cases of sudden heart failure and

guarded use. have been almost stag

The application OF this little object
lesson to the marvellous increase of
private fortunes In this country is very
suggestive when we remember that on
the basis of legal rates of interest for
tunes "double up" once In eight years.
and In the case of the great Cresuse,
who are boisiered up, by franchises,
monopolies, trusts, stock waterings,
etc., they double up much oftener.
Take Tor instance, the city of Cleve-
land, Ohio, which now contains about
100000 people. There are men In that
city who can remember the time when
not single resident was worth over
$4,000. Now II has sixty-three mea
worth over $l ,0OO. 900 each, and there
are quite number Of men whose fur
tunes range from $4,000 down. A
person having no more than an insig.
ni6caDt half q million does not figure
much In that town.
The richest Clevelander is John D.
Rockefeller, of Standard Oil fame who
is reported worth $3.50, ,00O, 900 and bas
a yearly income Of $1,000 900. This
fortune has doubled more than once a
year since his OILY career began, bat
allowing that he started with ST. 600
eighteen years ago, and that his pros
perity will be as great as formerly In
the coming ten years, we have ouly to
apply the above table to figure out
some very astonishing results.
OF course property Is destructabIe,
and subject to every manner ofexpense,
detoristion and loss. Otherwise COM
pound interest and geometrical ratios
would long ago have exhausted the
ability OF the entire world to keep more
than one single family or individual on
the road. But none the less are such
figures very interesting study for
workingmen and others who see indi.
vidual fortunes like that of the great
Standard Oil monarch, double up like
magic.
Aud the lesson for the general public
is that legitimate business, upaided by
corrupt franchise, monopolies and
trusts, will pile up individual fortunes
as fast as is wholesome for govern
ment of a people. None too timely and
earnest is the tide that has set in against
trusts and other combinations which
permit private fortunes to double up st
rate which simple arithmetic shows
would, II continued, finally exhaust the
entire wealth of nation.

McRINLEY'S NEW FAT-FRIER
From the Chicago Tribune (rep.

from the Chicago Tribune (rep.)l
The bill is a gigantic scheme for
raising campaign funds. The admins
tration has only to wink at conspiracy
between it's collectors and Il few large
importers to pervert the customs laws,
and IL can raise all the money it wants.
By simply assigning Que line of import
ed goods TO one class in dealing with an
one importer and to another class in deal
Ing with another importer,the collector
can make millionaire of one importer
and pauper OF the other. If the Ameri.
can people can see such bill passed by
congress without 50 much rs entering
an Indignant protest il will be one of
the very worst signs Of the times in
which we live.
