The largest sum ever paid for a pre- scription changed hands in San Fran cisco, Aug. 30, 1901. The transfer in volvcd in coin and stock SIP. % and was paid by a party of business men for a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
 They commenced the serious investi- gation of the specific Nov. 15, 1900. They interviewed scores of the cured and tried it out on it's merits by putting over three dozen cases on the treatment and watching them. They also got phy- sicians to name chronic, incurable cases and administered it with the physicians for judges. Up to Aug. 9, eighty-seven per cent of the test cases were either well or progressing favOrably.
 There being but thirteen per cent of failures, the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction.
