Their OWN PHYSICIANS.
Self Doctoring Promoted by the Usc of Med
tcines In Compressed Tablets.

sell DOctOrtng promoted ny thc tHc Ot We'd
tcines In Compressed Tablets.
Not only has tho general Introduction
of medicine in the form Of compressed
tablets simplified the work of the doc.
tor, but it has also vastly promoted self
doctoring. The number of remedies put
up in this form for popular use con-
stantly increases. Many druggists make
speciality Of these things. You see
them displayed near the soda water
fountain, put up in small bottles and
sold at prices that must yield a hand
some profit. Half dozen remedies for
indigestion are thus sold, some contain
ing popsin as the active principle, 9th
ers containing soda mint, some bismuth,
som6 charcoal or more powerful disin
fectants. Some are designed TO remove
acidity Of the stomach others to attack
a catarrhal condition. Others are TO pro-
woke appetite, and still others are TO
promote one or another natural func-
tiOn. A dozen headache cures are sold in
this fashion, and the different emolli-
ents for the throat are almost innumera-
BILE. There are grip tablets, liver tab.
let's, heart, lung and brain tablets.
Persons who have escheTed patent
medicines all their lives buy these tab
lets of one sort or another, because
most of them are supposed to be well
recognized remedies. Most Of the tab
let's are advertised only in medical jour
nails, in accordance with the require
ments Of the medical code, and many
of them, no doubt, have obtained their
popularity through their use by reputa-
BILE physicians,
Quinine, which is now extremely
cheap, is sold largely in the form of
two grain pills or in larger pills con
tanning iron. Although believed by
many physicians to be dangerous rem
edy, it has long been self prescribed by
all sorts of persons, especially in mala-
rial regions, and it is one of the rene
dies most frequently bought without
prescription. 1t is self prescribed fol
malaria in its many forms, to check a
cold in its early stages, and as tonic.
Stimulants Of one sort or another are
sold in this form, but more especially
perhaps ut the soda fountain, which has
become sort of medical dispensary.
Many headache remedies are dispensed
at the soda fountain. Some are recon-
mended or suggested by the attendant,
but many persons have their favorites
among the various sedatives and febri.
fuges, and some are called for as regu'
larly as the fruit sirups. New remedies
are constantly introduced through the
soda fountains, and many old ones have
long been included in the annually
lengthening list Of the soda water dis
pensers New York Sun.

IN A BALLOON.
The Sensations That Are superinduced by
Its Rising and Failing.

The Sensations That Are superinduced by
Its Rising and Failing.
A dim sunlight strikes us in the bal
loon. Suddenly we realize we are in
bright sunshine again, with fieecy white
clouds below us and deep blue sky
above. Look at the shadow Of the bal
loon ON the clouds See the light pris-
matte colors like halo around the
shadow of the Car. Here we are all
alone, in perfect silence, in the depths
of great abyss-massive clouds tower
ing up on all sides, a snowy white mass
below. But no sign of earth-no sign
of anything human. Not a sound, not a
sign Of lifel What peace! What bliss
Horrors! What's that report? The bal
loon must have burst. Oh, nonsense
Keep still It's only fold of the stuff
nipped by the netting being suddenly
released; that's all.
Well, we are falling, for see the bits
of paper apparently ascending. And we
must take care, for the coldness and
dampness of this cloud will cause the
gas to contract, and we shall fall rapid
ly. So get bag Of ballast ready, for
we are already in the darkness Of the
cloud. Now the gas bag shrinks and
writhes, and the loose folds rustic to-
gether. and it gets darker. You can feel
the breeze blowing upward against
your face or hand held over the edge Of
the car. Well, that's not to be wondered
at, for remember we are falling, say
1000 feet a minute, which is the same
