ut may fairly be said that most of the
new medicines produced are products Of
coal tar" said physician. "Until lately
remedies freshly added to the pharma-
copeia were obtained through novel dis
coveries in the plant kingdom, Even now
from time to time such lucky finds are
made; but the science of botany has pretty
nearly completed its list of things vegetable
that grow upon the earth, and the prop
critics of their active principles have become
more and more thoroughly understood of
late years. Thus it happens that new
medicines today are nearly all products Of
the laboratory.
an coal tar Is found simple organic
substance which IL readily worked with
for the production of varied chemical re,
suits. 1t is what chemists call a carlo.
hydrate, of an unelaboratc character, which
renders itself readily useful in laboratory
processes, Therefore, workers in the line
of therapeutic research employ It to an al
most unlimited extent OF the new RENE
dies which the apothecary keeps upon his
advertising slate a majority are such coal
tar products.
Many of them are of dangerous char
acter and should not be taken without a
physicians prescription; but that does not
prevent them from having a large SALE
and the firms which get them out under
patented names make fortunes by selling
them. Most important among these rem
edies are sleep producing and antifever
drugs. A number of them are admirable
when properly and judiciously admins.

The recent discussion as to whether ocean
liners should carry cotton as well as pas
sengers, and at the same time has brought
out another fact. 1t is that they carry
other kinds of freight that make the danger
of fire just as great as from cotton A per.
son who knows something of such matters
states that just ut present there are being
made large mpOrtations of French silk
that are especially dangerous rs freight.
"At present importers here" the gentle,
man said, care receiving large consign
ments of a heavy dyed silk known as
French twist, The French manufacturers
do not spare the dye on these goods, for it
adds to their weight. In this dye chemi.
Gals Of q peculiar kind are used and it Ia
this fact that makes this silk dangerous
freight.
"There is always fear of spontaneous
combustion unless the greatest care is
taken In packing the goods. These come
In bales of various sizes, but generally aver
aging about 500p pounds They are wrapped
in cotton bagging, with undertaking lay
ers of straw and brown paper, and are
made compact by hydraulic pressure
There Is constant danger of fire origi
mating from them, and they must be
watched with care while in transit. There
have been cases where bales have been de
stroyed from the causes mentioned, and
not many years ago serious fire was
caused on a French steamship by these
same goods"
Steamship men generally say that they
are aware of the danger of carrying these
silks, and that the greatest care is taken
whenever they are carried as freight One
or two lines, indeed, discriminate against
this freight and will not carry it.-New
York Recorder.
