HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
A PATENT MEDICINE MANS PROTEST
AGAINST DRUGGISTS.
He Also Talks Frankly About the
Sale of Patent Medicines-Oth-
err Hotel Visitors.
Fremont Alford. Judge

There was a young man at the Spencer
House last night with a vigorous kick"
against druggists. He represents a big
patent medicine firm. within twenty years
from now" he declared, there will be no
drug stores. In the first place the druggists
are antagonizing the doctors by what are
known as counter Prescriptions A man
goes in with an ailment and the druggist
prescribes for him. This makes the doc
tors mad and a big per cent. of the physi-
clans of the country are compromising their
own prescriptions. Again the druggists are
antagonizing the saloons by selling whisky
and they are antagonizing the temperance
people in the same way. They are also an
tagonizing, in a way, the proprietary medi-
cine people and gradually they are working
themselves out of business. Nearly every
druggist now puts UP stuff of his own with
which he supplies the demand created by
the advertisements of the big concerns. For
instance a man goes into a drug store and
asks for a certain remedy he has seen ad-
vertised. The druggist, if he chooses, may
say, I'm out Of that, but here's something
just as good Then he brings out a bottle
of one Of his own medicines"
In Illustrating his point the young man
lOlQ Oh q paragraph he saw III a OOulleIu
newspaper, relating how a druggist when
asked at a revival if he had religion,
jumped to his feet with the remark: No;
but I've something just as good"
The young man, in emphasizing his re-
marks, drew a newspaper clipping from his
pocket, which credited him with having used
language something like this: The drug
gistS are stealing our business. We made
the patent medicine business, and we made
most of the diseases these medicines are
sold for. They are our diseases. There
were no such diseases until we made them
and there are none such now except in the
Imagination Of the people who read our
advertisements The people who buy most
medicine have nothing the matter with
them at all. They read our advertisements
and conclude at once hat they have the
symptoms of some deadly disease. When
they 60 TO the drug store to get our medi-
cine the druggist trots out a preparation
of his own which he says is better, thus
stealing the trade we made. If they want
TO sell their own medicine they can make
their own diseases. We will put our medi-
cine in grocery stores for sale and the
druggists can go it alone"
The young man declared that the sale Of
cough medicine was not nearly so brisk
last winter as the winter before on account
of the lack of snow and slush and the even
temperature. He a y he knows of a firm
which manufactures cough medicine that
increased it's profits 100000 winter before
last as a result of the weather. IF people
would wear rubbers in snow and slush,' he
said, cit would make a big difference in the
demand for cough medicines"

Chester c. Spain in Town.

Chester c. Spain, formerly a resident OF
this city. is here now on a visit. His resi-
dence has been for over three years in
Havana, Cuba, where he conducts the
Cuban Paint and Advertising Company,
which does bill posting and advertising
sign work in the whole island. Mr.. Spain
is stopping with his brother, Herman, who
lives at 2308 Talbot avenue. Mr.. Spain
says the prosperity of Cuba seems sure
under the s~alutary form Of government es-
tablished by the United States. but that
he believes the island VIII before many
years require annexation to the United
States. The best elements Of the popula-
ton OF Cuba said he, realize the pro-
priety of annexation and desire il. Also,
many of the common people who nave de-
lighted TO shout 'Vive Cuba Libre,' are re-
alizing that there can be no more benign
government than that Of the United
States" Mr.. Spain will return to Cuba to-
night.

James Epperson. of Linton. spent last
night at the Spencer House. As inspector
of mines in the State Epperson does a
good deal OF knocking about. He says that
considerable mine development is going on
in Greene county at this time. Goal mines

made that county" he said last night.
There is no doubt that the people owe
much to the Indiana Southern. AS an in
stance of is being done in the coun-
~, three years ago a farmer could per-
hsps get from $50 10 S35 an acre for his
land. Since the railroad has come and the
coal industry Is being developed more and
more the farmer can get from S35 10 $50
an acre for that part of his land that con-
tains his coal, and he retains the surface
for farming purposes. The town OF Jason
Vile, which a year ago had a population of
perhaps $50 people. promises 10 be one of
the biggest mining towns In the county.
