USE OF LATIN BY DOCTORS

81 don't see, said the man who was
leaning against the drug store counter,
why doctor can't write his prescrip-
tions IN English instead of Latin. Sup
pose | need some whisky on one of these
Roosevelt Sundays. Suppose my system
absolutely requires WHISKY; that my
health and future usefulness to society
depend upon it. Well, go to my doctor
and set a prescription. 1t calls for
spirtus frumenti. Now, that amt what
l want. I want whisky. Why can't be
come out fat-footed and say so? But
suppose he thinks that would be giving
the game away. 1 suppose he would
rather I'd take his wisdom with grain
of chloride Of sodium than with grain
OF salt. Isn't that it?"
The druggist smiled and said: you've
got the same idea most people have. You
think, l suppose, that the doctor writes
his prescription in Latin so it can't be
read so easily-so the layman can't steal
his trade and learn what he is giving
him. But that's all wrong. In the first
language than English, and, being a
dead language, does not change, as all
living languages do.
"Then, again, since very large part
of all the drugs in use are botanical, they
have in the pharmacopoeia the same
names that they have in botany-,the
scientific names. Two thirds of such
drugs haven't any English names, and SO
couldn't be written in English.
But suppose a doctor did write a pre-
scription in English for an uneducated
patient. The patient reads it, thinks he
remem bers it, and so tries to get il filed
from memory the second time. Suppose,
or instance, it called tor iodide of potas-
SUM, and he got it confused with cyanide
of potassium. He coul- safely take ten
grains of the first. but one grain OF the
second would kill him as deao as a mack
erel. That's an exaggerated case, but it
will serve for an illustration. Don't you
see how the Latin is a protection and
safeguard to the patient? Prescriptions in
Latin he can't read, and consequently
does not try to remember.
Now Tor a final reaEon. Latin is
language That is used by scientific men
the world over, and no other language is.
lou can get Latin prescription filled in
any country on the face of the earth
where there is drug store. We had
prescription come in here the other day
which we had put up originally, and
which had since been stamped by drug
gists in London, Paris, Berlin. Constan-
tinople, Cairo and Calcutta. What good
would an English prescription be in St.
Petersburg?"
Got any good tooth POWDER" asked
the man leaning against the counter

Nationa1League Standing.


DdscOdl INOtoSs
Our team was weakened yesterday by
the absence of Terrien. He got day s
leave of absence to make an important
visit, and if ever a man deserved it, he
does. Goodhart caught good game, but
he had to come in from the field and
poor substitute for Terrien in batting
He caught two good flies, but he mis-
judged another very badly.
Dove having been released, Cannon
took his place in left field and was a
good man throughout. He hit well and
worked hard for runs. In the eighth,
after he got his first on balls, he stole
second while slight kick was going on,
and while the pitcher held the ball in his
hands, 1t was the most successfully au-
dacious feat of the season.
The Kennebecs will be here today and
Dunn or Daniels will pitch for Portland
Terrien will catch and Godhart will GO
into right. Cannon will play in left. He
has certainly got some life in him and
he is developing into quite hitter and
base runner.
The new uniforms will positively ap-
pear today. They are the handsome
white suits that were made for the Ath-
letic clubs team, with the addition of
several new suits They are very hand
some.
The good attendance of yesterday and
last Saturday shows that this is indeed
good baseball town if only there is
good baseball afforded with the accent
on that last word
David Mahoney has been chosen as the
manager of the team. He is Portland
man of long experience in the national
game. He has played it and watched..it
since its earliest days in this city, and
what he doesn't know about it, isn't
known. He is man of force of charac.
ter and pleasant, genial manner. He will
undoubtedly perform his many and
arduous duties very acceptably
In the third inning there was nota-
BILE instance of notable weak point in
the Portland's fielding. They didn't
try to shut the man off home and thus
prevent a score. Henry was on third,
when Judd drove grounder to Corbett.
The latter had plenty of time to catch
Henry at home. He started to throw,
hesitated, his courage forsook him and
he made sure of the man on first There
was plenty of time to shut off the run
at home. There is no more necessary or
prettier play in the game than the play
for home base when man is on third
and less than two are out. Portland
doesn't, and hasn't taken sufficient care
to play for the runner and stop the man
who is likely to score.
