"PATENT MEDICINE"
Large Quantities of Red Liquor Sold
Through Flaming Advertisements
in Careless or Corrupt
Periodicals..

May number, the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal pays it's respects to the patent
medicine fraud. The following table
is copied from Transactions Colo
RADIO State Medical Society for 1892"
showing the percentage of alcohol in
each of the patent medicines named:
Hoods Sarsaparilla 1873
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic. ...... .19.5
Browns Iron Bitters. .19.7
Kaufman's Sulfur Bitters. .20.5
Paine's Celery Compound. ...... ..21.0
Burdock Blood Bitters. ....25.2
Ayers Sarsaparilla 1862
Warmers Safe Tonic Bitters. 35.7
Parker'S Tonic Ais
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. .44.3
1t will be seen by this table that
many of the widely advertised patent
nOstrums contain larger percentage
of alcohol than commercial whisky.
The article continues:
'As the remedies are prescribed to
be taken in teaspoonful or even larger
doses, three times day, it can easily
be understood why they give de-
lusive sense Of well feeling and in
crease the appetite of those who take
them. It is very probable that at the
present moment the temperance So
cieties of this country could do moth
}ng better calculated to advance the
cause of temperance than to under
take vigorous crusade against the
use of such remedies. In woman par
ticularly the origin Of the craving for
liquor is often a mystery to her fam
lily and friends. Undoubtedly the
taste for spirits not infrequently be-
gins with indulgence in these so-called
tonic" remedies, which have done
and are doing an incalculable amount
Of harm.''
1T is well recognized fact among
hospital doctors and nurses that a
man addicted to the use of alcohol,
who falls i'll with pneumonia, typhoid
fever, liver or heart disease, or has
TO undergo a serious surgical opera
ton, does not stand nearly so good
chance of recovery as the total alb
stainer. Even the drinker who is de-
scribed as moderate has much hard
er fight for his life. = =
''That the evils of patent medicine
taking are beginning to be recognized
as matter undoubtedly affecting
health and longevity, is being demon
strated by the least sentimental Of
all business corporations, the insur-
ance companies. In the Insurance Ad-
vocate for January, 1902, writer says
that one insurance company requires
its medical examiner to ask the appli-
cant: What patent medicine have
you used in the past five years?'"
Both education and legislation are
demanded on this most interesting
and important question.

IS TAKING
LESSONS IN BOXING
rhinrs are going to happen.

Awnings are going to happen.
II About a week ago. George Davis be
4 gan taking boxing lessons OF Lon Ag-
new. He contracted for three a week
George pledged the few who knew
about il to strict silence but a circum-
stance so fraught with peril to the
community could not be kept down.
Besides George got SO mad because
Agnew wouldn't let him bite in the
cIinches that he couldn't keep still
himself.
Davis thought OF studying the eye
gouge and the throttle first but Ag-
new trained him in jumping sideways
and backwards. in shielding his mouth
with the back of his hand and in toss
ing the medicine ball. 1t is expected
that two months will elapse before the
Professor can turn George loose in the
community fit TO get along without a
hip pocket
In his spare moments, it is said. that
Sfieorge is making out a list OF those
he Is going to lick. The Attorney Cen
eral comes first. A neat upper cut and
three thumps on the Stats are design
ed for him. The editor Of the Star is
to see more stars and the editor OF the
Advertiser is to receive solar plexus
blow and a few impressive remarks at
m grave. Whether George will lick /
the members OF the Supreme Court or
not will depend entirely on their ac-
ton in the disbarment case
Davis is in hopes that the new Law
yer's Society will go in with him for
athletics. Summers new home at Ka-l
lihi might be taken for a gymnasium;
II not, Mr.. Sumner can probably be i'm
duced. IL there is any way to reach
him at Tahiti, to hire a hall for the
club and pay for the apparatus.

The Delaware State Temperance AL
lance bids fair to be growing power
in the moral issues of this State The
temperance men of all parties feeling
that they were outrageously treated
by the last Legislature at Dover have
been talking quietly and laying their
plans for a year, and are now proceed
ing to organize. Their State and Dis
trict organizations are now about per-
! pfected; and during this month each of
four local Option Districts laid out by
the new Constitution will hold annual
conventions; and on Tuesday, Decem-
ber l, in Dover the State alliance will
hold its annual meeting.
The Delaware State Temperance AL
lance has Rev, Vaughan S. Collins,
now pastor of Asbury church, Smyrna
as It's president. He has prepared list
of the majorities and pluralities of
every District in the State which he
is sending to all temperance workers.
This statement will doubtless be a sur
prise to many who receive it, when
they find how few votes will be neces-
sary to change the district in which
they reside. Few outside of the pract-
ical politicians would have believed
that a change of 40 votes would have
changed 10 districts in the last hard
fought campaign. So the temperance
people Will not have snch a serious
problem after all, as the saloon power,
outside of its money, carries very few
votes indeed. This annual meeting in
Dover will doubtless prove the most
enthusiastic Temperance gathering in
our state for years past. Every pastor
in the state will be asked to be present,
and to bring at least five laymen with
him. This ought to result in a rous-
ing convention. The Times bid God
speed to the movement.

A splendid Republican meeting was
held at Dover last Wednesday in an
swer to the call Of Senator J. Frank
Alice, State chairman of the Union
Republican Party, and a good feel
ing was manifested throughout the
meeting. The propositions for har-
mony were made in good faith and we
wish we had the space to publish the
propositions and letters in full, but
they have been widely distributed and
Republicans have had every opportun-
ity to become acquainted with it. In
making this proposition the Union Re
publicans have practically conceded to
the Regulars one-half of everything
there is in the State despite the fact
that the sO.called Regulars compose
less than One-half of the members of
the Republican organization. 70 re-
iect this proposition the so-called
Regulars will be compelled to place
themselves upon record before the
voters of the State. In the PROPOSE
tion the Union Republicans have con-
ceded more than the Regulars have
ever asked and much more than the
Regular party deserves. This being
the case, they must either accept OF
stamp themselves as being in favor OF
continuing to turn the State over tc
the Democrats.
