INSURANCE FOR DRUGGISTS
Protected From Blackmnil and
Mistakes In Mixing DRUGS.

One OF the latest things in the fidelity
and casualty line is to insure druggists
against what Is called the wrong pre-
scription man. For Sl5 or S25 year
several companies down town guaran-
tee druggists against damages arising
from mistakes In compounding drugs
One Of the most successful Of these
companies has $50 chemists OF New
York, Jersey City, Newark and New
Haven on It's list OF subscribers.
The idea OF insuring druggists
against loss from their own mistakes
originated In the belief Of a number
Of leading pharmacists that they were
the victims OF gang OF rogues who
made a practice OF pretending that
wrong medicines had been given to
some member OF their families, some
times with serious results. The gang
was partly broken up by the fidelity
company which first assumed the re-
sponsibility OF protecting druggists at
81 a year each. An officer OF this COM
pany says that there are fully 1000
mistakes year In the compoundlng Of
drugs.
while there are so many genuine
Mistakes" he continued, there are
many alleged errors In mixing medi-
clnes, and some OF the complaints are
invented for the sole purpose OF ex-
tortlng money from tho retail drug
gists. Our company guarantees to pro-
tect druggists against themselves. but
our main desire is 10 prevent fraud on
the part OF those who want 10 black
mail one OF our clients for something
he has not done.
ut Is n serious matter 20 make n
mistake In mixing drugs. but II Is fire.
quently even more serious TO the drug
gist TO have II nosed about that such
a mistake was made. have known
chemists TO be forced out OF business
by the publicity given 10 the fact that
they made a blunder. Dishonest per-
sons have recognized the fear that
druggists have OF an exposure OF this
kind and have taken advantage OF the
knowledge.
Since we undertook to protect them
a number OF druggists have confessed
to paying big sums to persons who said
mistakes were made. have the names
OF half n dozen so called doctors who
have aided AT east side gang that was
engaged In the business OF bleeding
chemists.
"stlll. there Is nothing really remark.

R0SEBURG STAGE H0LD-UP
Regular Annual Robbery Oc-
CURED Last Week.

Within 950 yards of the spot where
it was robbed last winter and with
the same driver, j. A. Sawyers, the
Roseburg Myrtle Point stage was held
up Thursday night of last week, about
8 O'Clock, seven miles this side of
Camas Valley. Two men wearing
white masks did the job and secured
Sl32 80 for their trouble. The U. S.
mail was not molested. The stage
carried three passengers: f. Lee, of
Cylon, Wisconsin, VIM. McGrath,
of New Richmond, Wis, and H. H.
Scovel, of the Loyd-Scovel Iron Co,
San Francisco. These men were the
victims of the holdup.
Driver Sawyers was ordered to halt
by man in shirt sleeves who stood in
the road and leveled revolver at his
person. As soon as Sawyers complied
with the command he and the three
passengers were told to climb out of
the vehicle and line up in the road,
which they did. Here Sawyers was
detected in the act of reaching for his
revolver in is hip pocket. The high
wayman promptly relieved Mr., Saw
yers of the weapon, at the same time
admonishing the driver never to reach
foT gun unless he intends to use it.
The robber then called to a confeder-
ate who had meanwhile been conceal
ed in the brush near by, Robber No.
stepped forth and went through the
pockets of the passengers while No
kept them covered with his revolver.
From Lee s. was taken, from McGrath
$3.50 and from Scovel $l20, so we
learn from one of the passengers. Lee
and McGrath carried drafts, but these
the robbers did not offer to take.
Once the robber was ON the point of
taking Lees watch, but an earnest
plea from its owner saved it. Scovel
also carried "a watch which was hand
ed back to him after being taken be
cause he told the robber it was "no
good. The robbers then completed
their work by ordering the driver and
men back on the stage and to proceed
ON their way. -Roseburg Review,
