a ANOTHER HEAD ON THE HYDRA"

"It is time attention was drawn to form of alcoholic traffic that seems to have been overlooked by those engaged in the crusade against the rum power. If. ss is believed and taught, alcohol IS most dangerous when it fights i'll ambush, if it is most to be dreaded when 1t finds its first entrance to the system Ill the pleasant sauces and dishes of the home, then the form of alcoholic traffic in ques- ton is doublv dangerous, for 1t comes III fine euise of medicine and attacks sys- tenn prepared by weakness to easily sur render to the assault. In many
 PATENT MEDICINES
 which are largely consumed throughout the country, bv all classes of people, there is a percentage of alcohol which r,tts them on a level with beer, rum and whisky as iutoxicants. It Is the small ness only of the dose prescribed which prevents a prompt recognition ot the l1l- toxicating effects of these so-called medI- cines by those who use them.
 Tt is safe to affirm that they are
 MEDICINES IN NAME ONLY.
 Their chief value lies in their alcoholic effect as a stimulant. In fact, those who know, attribute the benefits ascr1bed to this class of medicines wholly to the stir1,llative effect of the alcohol they contain. Trey are used largely by per sons not in the habit of drinking liquors, and the little dose taken three or four ti1ne a day is as stimulating to these peopie as his regular finger" of " bit ters" is to the regular liquor-drlrker.
 WHAT CAN BE DONE?
 uVhat ought to be done at least is to oo,H6eE egeSy batent-1HcalciHe nai1Hjact- u,;er ko but on tEs Uyubbey 0f lis bottle Tbe ounEfifv or akcohoI # oontainS. That would at least leave people to exerclse their own judgments. More than that, no Daper truly interested in temperance reform should print the adverusenent of any alcoholic medicine. It should be the duty of every temperance organ1zaa- tion and branch in the country to look into this question, agitate 1t, and deal with the facts just as earnestly ana as honestly as other facts have been dealt with. "
