A Bill That Should Not Pass.

The following bill has been intro.
duced in the assem- oily at Madison
and referred:
"a Bill IN Relation TO Patent Medicines:
Sec 1.-All medicines put up in
bottles, packages, etc, and known AS
patent medicine and exposed for
sale in this state shall have pasted
on the same, labels giving full and
| complete list of the drugs contained
in such medicines, with the proper
tiOns Of the same. in English language,
| with an affidavit OF the truth of the
same and signed by the manufacture
ers."
TO require a complete formula OF
the ingredients to be printed on the
labels of each bottle of medicine sold
III Wisconsin, would necessarily ex-
clude the proprietor from advertising
or doing business In this state. As
it is impossible to patent medicine,
the only protection the proprietor
has is in keeping his formula secret;
consequently, he would not care to
have his formula made public all over
the United States in order to comply
with the laws of one state alone
that Of Wisconsin.
The present laws OF Wisconsin am
ply protect the public from poisonous
drugs and medicines, and there is no
excuse for such a law as above, ex-
cept perhaps In the interest of a
few Of the unsuccessful sort ofdoctors.
If this act becomes a law the damage
to trade generally in Wisconsin could
scarcely be estimated. 1t is a we'll
known f act that numterless people
find in many OF the preparations, COM
monty known as patent medicines,
splendid qualities. And there is no
reason why, if reputable ones are
used, they should not prove of value.
Take for example the DR.. Miles pre-
parations of ''Nervine," Heart
Cure, etc. Dr. Franklin Miles is q reg
ularly graduated physician, enjoying a
lucrative practice at the present time
with offices In the Masonic Temple
building, Chicago, while at the labor
atory at Elkhardt, Ind, there are
chemists and graduated pharmacists
compromising the remedies which he
has used In his practice for over
twenty years, and which are now
sold throughout the country at reas-
enable prices.
The plea, that to publish theform-
ula would secure the sale of none but
meritorious goods, is entirely wrong
Suppose. for instance, Dr. Miles pub
lished his formula with full directions
how to compound and prepare the
remedies. AS everyone knows, ire
sponsible dealers would at once set
about using the cheapest grade of in
gradients or substituting something
similar that costs less. AS it is now
the medicine companies know that
the people are not SO easily fooled,
and that it would be far from good
business sense to place on the market
goods of an injurious nature, or
which are of no value. They aim to
make their goods such that when
once used, their use will be continued
and this alone is FAR better protec
ton to the public than class legisla
ton.

EVIDENTLY The Gazette favors the
election of Mr.. Barney as county
judge of Dodge county. Let's see;
wasn't The Gazette's principal argu-
ment for the retention ofJudge Grimm
IN this county along the line of eff
cheney and fitness? We have yet to
notice that Judge Christensen is
held to be lacking in these qualifca-
tions. If non-partisanship in the jul
dietary holds good in one county it
certainly should in another, the con-
ditions being equal.

The WATERTOWN REPUBLICAN, after
paying John A. Barney a deserved
compliment as to his popularity,
etc., is led into the error of saying
that he is not lawyer. Mr.. Barney
is a regular admitted lawyer and has
been member of the Dodge county
bar for fourteen years.-Juneau
Telephone.
We accept the amendment, Brother
Kelley. We made the statement as
to Mr.. Barney not being lawyer on
the information OF q well-known
public man, whom we supposed was
posted, but by reference to the cir
cult court calendar we find Mr.. B. 8
name duly recorded among the men,
bers of the Dodge county bar. But
perhaps The Telephone can inform
us of Senator Burke's reason for de-
string the civil Jurisdiction of the
Dodge county court to be abolished.
Here in this county we have been led
to deem civil Jurisdiction a good
thing.
