PresAoas stones.
We would, perhaps, wonder less at
the fancy charges made by physicians
and surgeons who have rare and ex-
ceptional cases In charge II We only
knew the cost Of drugs they use in
special diseases. For the benefit of the
army of the curious" the st. Louis
Republic has prepared the following
list of scarce and expensive drugs:
Three-pound bottle of alkaloid Of
.conisine, s4s5.5e; quarter-ounce vial of
cheldonine aliraloid- a new drug used
IN skin diseases, scrofula and dropsy,
Sss; cocaine, about S10o per pound A
6ve-ounce bottle Of true cotoin" will
cost about $3.50, or shout $40 On ounce
Crystals of e.aterin, a poison used in
cases of hydrophobia and lockjaw, pre-
pared from plant called South Ameri-
can Indian arrow, is worth about $l45
Pa ounce.
Among other costly drugs We might
mention the following and the differ
ent size bottles and Walls in which they
are sold: Agarfcin, ~ ounces, s4s. 10;
colooynthin, So ounces. STATS; con-
line hydrochlorate, ~ ounces, sos. -;

dydrsetins hydrochlerate. 81 ounces,
sl94.sa; papayotia, used n . solvent for
the diphsheric membrane, II eanee bot
tls, pr bottle, el6e.5o.
Besides the above thers are verious
preparations made from the Calsbar
bean, the cost Of wAioh n amazing.
They arc chiefly used In diseases of the
eye One y called physostigmine
alkAloid and costs $3.50 per ounce

more expensive, being sold IN two and

smiled as he rode away.
The season had undergone another
change. The gray squirrel ran along
the top rail of the fence with brown
nut in his mouth; the cat bird WAS
teaching her young ones 20 fy. and the
ehipmunk slyly stole through the dy-
ing grass. The Colonel walked in the
orchard where the apples cleaned in
the Indian summer haze. Suddenly he
discovered that John Rller was stand

There was happy wedding the next

The old fellow snorted and said some
thing about blasting his extensive hide.

was sitting on a stump, rhythmically
nodding his head to the song of a cat
bird, the Colonel stood under tree,

shoulder.

Colonel, as he leaned against n tree.
The young man gracefully mounted his
