ON PATENT MEDICINES.
DIR. HUTCH OF HOWARD AVENUE
 CHURCH.

Spoke on 'iPatsnt Medicines and mOE-
 aIs,' Last Evening in His Sunday
 Evening Series.
 Patent Medicine and Morals was the subject last evening of an address by Rev. Mir. Mutch, pastor of the How ard avenue Congregational church. He treated the subject in a very interesting manner. According to Dr. Mutch most diseases tend to right themselves, but there are certain dangers that need skill to evade and this is the main bus mess of the doctor. Medicines are only intended to assist in this work and for the most part indirectly as there are very few. if any, specific remedies"
 Superstition" he said, prevails more in the matter os medicine than in any one other thing. The saying that this wonderful remedy works like a charm is true account of most patent medi- cines." .-...-
 Why does the charm work? Simply because it is secret, and people always expect to be cured by magic. and 1t IS generally the expected that happens be- cause the disease tends to right itself. | We should distinguish between patent and proprietary medicines. Patent means open, but most of the virtue or patent medicine is it's secret formula, which is an advertisement to the public. Proprietary medicines have their fornu- la published. They are for the medical profession and used by them because of Itheir real value. Indiscriminate use ot medicines is most unwise because the same symptoms may have many differ l ent causes. for example, as a well known physician has recently told you, that there are nine different causes for dandruff. Most of the ingredients of patent medicines are harmless though l impressive in appearance and taste, but they must have effects and so some ef- l fective ingredients are always used, for example: Soothing syrup generally con- tains opium; hair restorers, sugar of lead, 5l from which cases of poison often occur; popular lotions and creams for face con- T tain corrosive sublimate, arsenic or OK idle of zinc. all of which are rank poi son. ~ l MT. Mutch then spoke of the element of alcohol used in many well known pat
 ent medicines. He then drew the follow ling lesson from the lecture; Every sur
 vival of superstition is menace to good morals because it distroys faith in mor- al law ..., t-.s% I Second-"aTnere is no way, except fol
 rum, in which so much money is squan.
 dered by people who need it, as on pat.
 ent medicines" l Third-"The seeds of deadly appetite and nerve wrecking disease are ofter Isown by patent medicines containing
 whiskey. opium and other deadly I drugs"
 I The services at the church were large, q ly attended.

ORITUARY NOTES.
Rev. Oliver s. Prescott.

Rev. Oliver Sherman Prescott, who died at an advanced age, Tuesday of last week. at his home in Verbank, N. Y. as previously announced, made his early home in New Haven, he being native of this city. He entered Trinity college, Hartford, (the Washington college in 1S4O, but did not finish his course. He was later student at the General Theological seminary and took a prominent part in some of the con- troversies which sprang out of the "Ox- ford Movement" He was ordained to the diaeonate by Bishop Brownell in 1S4T, and to the priesthood by Bishop Ives of North Carolina in 1S4S. Bishop Ives, who had gathered company or young men about him, part of whom were in the mission at Valle Crucis, en- tered the Roman Catholic church in 1853. In that year Mir. Prescott re- moved to Maryland, where he held rec torships in Westminster and Ellicotts S Mills. From 1861 to 1864 he was rector of the historic Trinity church in New port, R. l.; thence he went to the an- cient parish in West Haven, this state, and then spent seven years as a mem Der of an order in Oxford, England.
 Returning to this country, he became rector of St. Clements church, Phila- delphia, and later of St. Peters church, Ripon, Wis, in the diocese of Fond du Lac, from which he was elected in 1883 and 1886 a deputy to the general con- vention. About 1894 he returned to his old home in New Haven, and took charge of the congregation of colored people of St. Luke's church, which he served with humble faithfulness as long as his failing health would allow. l The last few years he had lived quietly at Verbank in Duchess county, N. Y. Mir. Prescott was in ordination, though not in canonical residence, the seinoI clergyman of the diocese of Connecti- cut. This death leaves but three cler-
 gymen in the diocese who, were ordained
