Self Doctoring Promoted by the Use Of Med.
icines Ip Compressed Tablets.

Self Doctoring Promoted by the Z se Of Med.
icines Ip Compressed Tablets.
Not only mas the 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 COLI
stantly increases Many druggists make
a speciality of these things. You SEQ
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 pepsin rs the active principle, 9th
els containing soda mint, some bismuth,
some 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-
ton. A dozen headache cures are sold in
this fashion, and the different emolli-
BILE. There are grip tablets, liver tab
let's, heart, lung and brain tablets.
Persons who have eschewed 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
-,
ments of the medical code, and many
of them, no doubt, have obtained their
popularity through their use by feputa.
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 III mala-
rial regions, and it is one of the RENE.
dies most frequently bought without
prescription. 1t is self prescribed for
malaria in its many forms, to check a
cold i'll its early stages, and as tonic.
Stimulants of one sort or another arc
sold in this form, but more especially
perhaps at 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 b,
Its Rising and Falling.

A dim sunlight strikes us in the bal.
loon. Suddenly we realize we are i'll
bright sunshine again, with tleecy W bite
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 a halo around the
shadow of the car. Here we are all
alone, in perfect silence, i'll the depths
of a 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 Il
sign Of lifel What peace What bliss
Horrors What's that report: The bal
loon must have burst Oh nonsense
Keep stir. It's only ii fold of the stuff
nipped by the netting being suddenly
released; that S all.
Well, we are falling, fer see the bits
of paper apparently ascending. And We
must take care, for the GOODNESS and
dampness Of this cloud will cause tie
gas to contract, and we shall fall rapid
~ So get a bag of ballast ready, for
we are already in the darkness of the
clond. Now the gas bag shrinks and
writhes, and the loose folds rustic to-
gether. and II 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 IA minute, which is the same
thing as if we were going along ten
miles an hour sitting III dogcart
Not quite the same, you say-you d
sooner be in the cart? Well, perhaps il
the horse Were going straight at a wall.
without the possibility of being able to
stop him, you would think otherwise
But look There is the earth again; So
out with youf ballast. Go on! Pour out
plenty; there's no good econonizing. -

Maine General Hospital.

The twenty-ffth animal report Of the
Maine General Hospital Al Portland has
been received and from it we learn that
the expenses of running that beneficial
institution for the year ending Sept. 30
last amounted to $5s,333.75, which was
$500. Is in excess of the receipts for the
year.
There were during the year lost
patients treated there, sos males and
5j2 females. Ten hundred and ffty-ninc
were discharged during the year. OF
whom 5S4 recovered: 30 were relieved
y not relieved; 1872 examined, but not
treated, and 80 died. Maine is the resi-
dence of $50 patients, of which Somer-
set county furnished 46. The number
of weeks relief furnished paying patients
aggregated 2950 and free patients His.
The average cost of each patient per
week was 81. SO. Applications for free
beds are more numerous and more ur-
gent than in former years, but the
means for caring for these cases are not
increasing.
