ENCOURAGEMENT OF CRIME.

The California lawyers In their fight

entitled to the precedence. In that
state, rs In others under the system

mitted to grow mp mass OF legal tech

Recent Discovery That Il Working
Wonders.
The most prevailing afiiictions that
for century have been engaging the
most scientific skill of the medical
world are rheumatism, neuralgia, ca
tarrh, asthma. la grippe and their kim
dred ailments. The country is full Of
sufferers from these complaints. Al
though the most learned experts Of the
medical profession have labored for q
century to produce a curative. until
quite recently no positive results were
effected. To the Swanson Rheumatic
Cure Co., 167-69 Dearborn street, Chi
cago, belongs the credit for having
produced the new remedy. 1t Is being
extensively advertised under the
trade mark OF Five Drops" The
trade mark Is self-explantory. Five
drops make dose. The effect is mag
icai. In days gone by other alleged
cures have been marketed with the
promise to take effect in thirty days
or more. Five Drops begins to cure
at once. Immediate relief is felt. In
order to more effectively advertise its
merits the company will for the next
thirty days send out 100000 Of their
sample bottles Of this positive
cure for 25 cents bottle by mall pre-
paid. Large bottle, 800 doses, 81 (for
thirty days 3 bottles $2.50) Those suf-
ferlng should take immediate advant-

Many New York Phy.icians Wrecked By
Constant Use Of Narcotics.

many new YORK Fhyslciane Wrecked ~
Constant Use Of Narcotics.
From the New York Sun: The ma
1ority Of professional men of this city
who become addicted to the habitual
use OF drugs arc physicians, and this
fact was strikingly illustrated a few
years ago by the success Of young
doctor who has since become one Of
the best known men In his profession.
When he had been out Of college for
only few years lecturer In one Of
the city colleges decided to decrease
the number Of his lectures preparatory
to retiring altogether from work. At
that time there were three young ply
siclans equally qualified to succeed
him. and 1t was decided that the choice
should be settled by allowing the men
to lecture for certain period and Sc
lecting from them the one who was
most successful with the students. The
three men entered the competition
with equal opportunities, but only one
Of them survived. The other two fell
away through the habit which has
wrecked the prospects Of so many
promising young men In New York
who seemed certain to win eminencs
In their profession. Tho one who did
not fall victim to the use Of drugs
won the place and'the distinction that
followed. Scarcely year passes
without the disappearance from New
York OF some more or less prominent
physician" said a doctor the other day
after recalling the mysterious death
Of well-known physician several
years ago. "and 1t is usually the use
of some drug that causes this retire.
ment, which Is sometimes temporary,
but more often lasting. Cocaine has
been one Of the things very much used
by them. but morphine. opium and 9TH
cr narcotics are as much In use. The
habit Of using them in the case Of
physicians seems to come from the
fact that, knowing the amounts In
which the drugs can be safely used,
there is never any doubt In their
minds that they can indulge them
selves moderately and with no fear of
excess, Another reason Is said to be
that physicians know the agreeable ef-
fects from the use OF these drugs bet
ter than persons who have never had
experience with them. Whatever the
causes may be. the truth remains that
no class OF professional men produces
SO many victims OF these drugs. And
the more surprising feature OF the
whole affair is that they are the men
who would in the ordinary course Of
affairs be least expected to yield to
such temptations
