Two Pointed Questions Am sXvered
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
ANS As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
| It both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass Judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take ur

with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs

The County Medical society.

The Vernon Comfy Medical Society
held s regular quarterly meeting in
Odd Fellows hall. Hillsboro, on Thurs
day last. DR.. Colt, president in the
chair, supported by DIR. Charles Trow-
bridge, secretary of thu society. The
association was the guests OF Drs Pinch.
Jones and Vernon, and the traditional
Hillsboro hospitality was very much in
evidence.
Papers were read and demonstrations
given by Drs. Colt, Schreiner, Vernon
and Surenson. The discussions thereon
we're generally aud energetical'y partici-
pated in by the members present The
meetings of the society are far from be
ing entirely social gatherings. Diff
culties and problems, met in daily prac-
tice, are removed and solved by the recital
Of the experience and the demonstrated
of the methods successfully employed
by other physicians under like condi-
tions and in similar cases. Thus, both
patients and physicians profit by the
deliberations of the society. Drs Butt,
Pinch and jones were unanimously
elected to membership.
The system, adopted by the county
board of supervisors at its last meeting,
dividing the county into districts for the
medical treatment of those receiving
county aid was thoroughly discussed
The district system itself was considered
an improvement on the old plan. Willis
no definite action in the premises was
taken, it was the general sense of the
society that the county board, poor
commissioner and physicians should
have met to consider the pros and cons
of the question before final action wss
taken. The members naturally aud
properly resented the assumption the,
physicians are shylocks. The tendency
to cut down physicians bills on "gen-
>ral principles" they considered grossly
unjust. 1t was claimed, and with truth,
hat no class of men do more work for
nothing among the deserving poor, who,
through pride keep,off the poor lis land
in suffering, hide their poverty than
does the physician. They could not see
why the bill for groceries ar d dry good
should be paid in full and the hysician's
fees cut numerically. The proposition
to Ibid" for contract service met with
general disaprroval 1t was felt that
both patient and physician sho uld have
some choice in the matter. The discus
sion was characterized throughout by
moderation and fairness. 1t was the
universal sentiment that if both super
visors and ply sicians thoroughly. under
stand each others positions the entire
question could be solved rightly and
justly to interests concerned The
question was referred to committee
Drs. Colt, Schreioer, Surenson, Vernon
and Ttowbridge, for report and acti, n
Physicians, supervisors and the public
wish economical but efficient and suffi
cient medical treatment of its poor.
The solution should not be difficult.
