The Origin Of Medicines.

Tie fact that certain herbs and
plants produce certain effects upon
the human system, and alleviate or
cure certain ills, has been known from
time immemorial. Perhaps the most
ancient Of medicines-properly au-
thenticated, that isis hops, which
was used in the dual capacity Of an
intoxicating beverage and as medi-
cine in 1000 B. G. This is attested
by pictures of the plant on Egyptian
monuments Of that date. Creosote
was discovered in 1880 by Reichen-
bach, who extracted it from the tar of
wood. Potassium was discovered in
1907 by Sir Humphrey Davy. but
alcohol was first distinguished as an
elementary substance by Albucasis in
the twelfth century.
Scheele discovered glycerine in 1889.
Nux vomica, which is nearly as old, is
the seed Of tree indigenous to India
and Ceylon. Peppermint is native to
Europe, and its use as o medicine
dates back to the middle ages. Myrrh,
which comes from Arabia and Persia,
was used as medicine in the time Of
Solomon. Hemlock, the extract of
which killed Socrates, is native Of
Italy and Greece. Iodine was dis
covered in 1912 by Courtois, and was
first employed in hospital in London
in 1925. Ipecac comes from South
America, and its qualities are first
mentioned in 1913 by Spanish writer,
who refers to it as Brazilian medi-
cine. Ergot is the product of the dis
eased seeds of common rye, and is one
of Hahnemann's discoveries. Aconite
grows in Siberia and Central Asia,
and was first used US medicine by
Storck in 1862. Hasheesh, or Indian
hemp, is aresinous substance produced
from the tops of the plant in India.
It has been used, as has opium, since
Indian history began. Caffeine, the
active principle of coffee, was found by
Runge in 1920. Arnica halls from
Europe and Asia, but the medicine is
made from artificial plants grown for
that purpose in Germany and France.

Still the determined young State
fought for its life. It exercised even
Federal power and authorized the coin
age of specie, though its chief medium
Of exchange continued to be the skins
Of wild animals. Finally emissaries
were sent to the North Carolina Ilegis-
lature to make overtures of peace. The
address of Franklin's representative
was model Of eloquence, fervid with
the rhetoric of the Revolutionary era.
But it fell upon unheeding ears. No
recognition would be made of the re-
bellious State, though North Carolina
had once cut her of without her con-
sent.
The last session of the Franklin Leg
islature met in September, 1887. That
there was then no intention of surren-
dering is evident from one of the acts
of the Legislature, which has been pre-
served, and which is interesting as an
example of primitive fnanciering. The
law is as follows:
''Be it enacted by the General As
sembly Of the State of Franklin, and
it is hereby enacted by the authority
of the same: That from the LIST day of
January, 1888, the salaries Of the Of
Acers of this commonwealth be as fol-

AKRON GIANT A WINNER.
Gus Rubin Outpoints tut" Ryan
the Australian,

NEW YORK. Dec. L-Gus Rubin. the
giant heavyweight OF Akron. o., defeated
Tut Ryan. OF Australia, tonight a. the
Tulan Athletic Club In a ten-round fight.
John Duffy being the referee. Rubin was
the taller and heavier, weighing about 100
pounds. Ryan tipped the beam at 175
pounds.
Rnhlin at the outset was awkward. and
Ryan. in point of cleverness. showed con-
siderable superiority. The Australian,
realizing his advantage. fought for the
body, and In the first eight rounds landed
with plenty of force. For time this
weakened Rubin. but he gained courage,
and finally became stronger. His blows in
the last two rounds were hard. and Ryan
was groggy. and could hardly have stood
the terrible raids a round longer.
On every side Ryan was given praise for
his gameness and brliliaucy. while Rubin
was simply looked upon as a husky heavy
weight. with little chance OF ever becoming
a champion.
Referee Duffy admitted that Ryan did
the greater part Of the leading, but claims
Rubin countered him at close positions
and unquestionably outfought the smaller
man. and In the last two rounds Ryan was
practically a beaten man and his opponent
was deserving OF the decision. Rubin and
Maher will now be matched.
