This peculiar cry was one of the signals
of the Australian blacks and was speedily
adopted by the invading whites The final
''e'' is a kind of prolonged screech and re-
sounds for miles through the bush, thus
enabling separated persons to ascertain
their relative positions.
A popular story runs that two wealthy
Australian squatters lost themselves in a
London fog and were only reunited after
a series of long coo-ee-es. Once, too, an
audience in London theater was much
startled by hearing this awful cry. 1t
was uttered by an Australian in the upper
circle to an old colonial acquaintance in
the pit.
On another occasion was this cry heard
in London. A daring bushranger, named
Garrett who had spent no fewer than 30
Christmas days in prison, made his ap-
pearanee In front of bank in Ballarat
and coolly posted up a notice to the effect
that the place would be closed for an
Ehour. He then terrorized the officials and
got away with $4,000.
The authorities received information
that Garrett had been seen in London. A
colonial detective was Immediately dis
patched to the mother country to capture
him if possible.
One day he thought that he saw his
man walking in the Strand, but, not be-
ing quite sure, he hit on the bright expe-
dient of uttering a piercing coo-ee-e. The
ordinary frequenters of the Strand stood
fixed with establishment, but Garret, act
ing on the spur Of the moment and reoog-
Rnizing the familiar sound, hastened back
and was promptly arrested.
He was taken back to Australia and
sentenced to ten years imprisonment

"I had frequently prescribed ammonol
for this affection, and experience had
taught me it's precise therapeutic action.
The patient did not respond to treatment
as had been led to expect, and a doubt
sprang up In my mind whether the medi-
cine was what had ordered. made a
careful physical examination Of one Of the
powders that the druggist had given me
and found the preparation an entirely diff
ferent one from the one / had prescribed.
1t was a crude mixture Of ammonia and
phenacetine, combination tho druggist
thought would be equally as effective as
the one had prescribed. Ammonol is q
high priced remedy. IL did not afford the
druggist as large profit as the one he
had given, and with spirit that was be-
low contempt he was ready to sacrifice the
life Of an unhappy patient on the altar Of
his own inhuman greed"
several physicians VINO were seen IN re-
gard to the substitution practice said that
they knew of such things occurring and
had had their suspicious aroused more
than once by the failure Of prescribed rem
edies to produce the effect which certainly
would have resulted had the prescribed
drug been administered. They agreed,
however, that many-in fact, the vast ma
jority-of druggists were honorable men,
who would not resort to substitution un-
der any circumstances.
In one of the leading drug stores on
Broadway the manager said: sit all de-
pends upon where a prescription is taken.
I know of dozens of stores where you get
the articles called for or nothing. OF
course there is some substitution done
there is no doubt Of it-but the percentage
is So small that it is hardly worth speak
ing of. New York Herald
