MAKING THEIR OWN PILLS.
Doctors Taking to Custom That Troubles
the Apothecaries-


"Our business is suffering to some
extent from a new fad of the physician
that is growing rapidly, regret to say, "
said an apothecary. ia old times, of
course. it was quite usual for medical
practitioners to put up their own pre-
scriptions. Oddly enough, they are tax
ing up the practice again in a fresh
form. They do not prepare the medi-
cines they prescribe, but a good many
Of them they give to their patients in
the shape of pills. For example, you
consult. DIR. Squills for symptoms which
indicate stomach disorder. Instead
Of writing a prescription for it, he gives
you half dozen little tablets and tells
you to call again in a couple Of days.
You 20 back again and get some more
Of the same pills-one to be taken after
each meal, you are instructed. That
transaction robs the apothecary of the
90 cents he would have got for filling
the prescription. 1t might seem to you
that the expense of furnishing their
own medicines would deter physicians
from adopting this plan, but l will
quickly explain to you how it works to
their advantage. You must understand,
to begin with, that they get the pills or
tablets at wholesale rates, so that the
cost is not very great Nasty doses are
no longer in fashion, and large num-
Der of remedies-particularly the coal
tar preparations-are put up nowadays

''Dr. Squills gives you six tablets and
tells you to come back ON Friday. In
that way he secures another visit from
you and rakes in an additional 81. That
is where his profit comes in. Further
more, if your friend Mrs. Bobbins hap
pens to be sufferings from symptoms
similar to your own, you cannot furnish
her with some of the pills which have
done you so much good, as you could do
if you had prescription. You can only
recommend her to DIR. Squills, who
scoops in another fee. So you can see
for yourself that this plan, while de-
cidedly injurious to our trade, is a great
help to the doctors. In one way it works
well. Not having prescription, the

ties of the medicine by having it put up
again and again at the apothecary's. 1t
is in that manner more than any other
that people acquire dangerous drug hab-
its.
''To such a point of development has
this new fad of the physicians arrived
that great factories are kept busy turn
ing out tablets and pills for sale to doc
tors only. The firms that own these es-
adjustments send agents all over the
country to solicit the patronage of med
ical men. From the latter they obtain
orders for the doses in small compass at

bottles or boxes. The pills are carefully

The new wing Of the Hospital for Sick
Children in London will be opened in

foundation stone Of this new wing was

it would be very suitable to have the
stone laid by one Of the children in the
hospital, and John Hart was the child
selected for the purpose. He was dear
little lad Of 10, the son Of a soldier, and
was for long time a patient in the hos
pital with diseased bone in his ankle,
which at last resulted in amputation Of
his leg.
