MOST WISELY DONE.

The city authorities refused license
to several tramp patent medicine men
Monday, and their action has been
warmly applauded.
1t is not right that irresponsible men
should be licensed to cheat and defraud
the poor, the ignorant and the unwary
out of their hard earnings with vile
and worthless nostrumS The city has
a number of drug stores, conducted by
reputable gentlemen, where every ar
ticIe known to materia medica can be
obtained at fair and reasonable price.
1t has a number of learned physicians
who will attend to the needs of the
sick, and street corner nostrums are
not needed, and the sale thereof should
be prohibited. Let the city authori-
ties know that they have taken step
in the right direction, and if that
course is followed up it will elicit the
plaudits of all the people. Let it be
known that street corner nostrum ven
ders are not needed in Durham.
