The PATENT MEDICINE CURSE
An Expose Of the Alcohol Used in the Spring Ton.
les and Blood Purifiers.

Mr.. Box cites an instance of a young
wife to whom friend recommended
the widely-advertised patent medicine
known as "Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. She asked Miss Maud
Ban6eld of the Journals editorial staff
for advice as to whether it was really q
good thing for her to take; "where.
upon," says Mr.. Box. i've communi.
Gated with DR.. Samuel w. Abbott,
Secretary of the State Board of Health
of Massachusetts, who quotes the fol-
lowing extract from an analysis made
by the well-known German chemist,
Hager, and published in Hahn's Ge-
heimmittel
What a FavOrite Medicine Contains.
"In about nine ounces of this Favor
lite Prescription there were. among other
ingredients
Tincture of Digitalis. -. fluid drachm
Tincture of Opium. ..... fluid drachm
Oil Of Anise. .......... 8 drops
Alcohol. ol.................. Ii ounces
''This would make preparation con.
tanning about II per cent of alcohol.
Everything here said about patent
medicines can be readily proved. This
magazine could not venture to catalogue
these preparations by name, and print
the percentage of alcohol which they
contain, if it were not that the facts are
precisely as they are here given. Let
any woman who reads these words ask
her physician as to the truth of the
statements made here. The physician
cannot speak of the patent medicine
curse unless he is asked, because, if he
does, he lays himself open to the accu-
sation that he is afraid of these patent.
medicine cures, since their use inter.
feres with his practice. AS matter
of fact, the more patent medicines that
are used the better it is for the medical
profession, since few things in the end
bring a man or a woman or their child
more surely to the physician than
patent-medicine tippling. 1t is a curse
to the patient but money maker to the
physician
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1904-05-14

In connection with this list, think OF
beer, which contains only from to per
cent Of alcohol. while some of these bit
ters" contain ten times as much, making
them stronger than whisky, far stronger
than sherry or port, with clares and
champagne way behind.

FIX CAPTAIN JOHNSON AGAIN AR
 RESTED.

Has Been Acting Strangely for the Last
 Two Days and Has Frightened Many
 People.
 Ex-Fire Captain Johnson was again arrested late yesterday afternoon by q souad of six policemen.
 Late yesterday afternoon the captain commenced to again show signs of in sanity and terrorize the people with whom he came in contact. He visited several places about town day before yesterday and yesterday and made himself obnoxious. Many complaints were made to the police by people Vso were afraid of him, and 1t was decided that the best thing to do was to bring him to the station house and lock him up. It was stated to the police that the ex-captain had gun, but it was later discovered that it was only a pipe, which he had in his pocket, which had caused this runor.
 A squad of six policemen was sent out for the ex-captain and he was cap- tured in the vicinity of the Young Men S Republican club. He was under the in- f1uence of liquor and did not want to go with the policemen, but when he 1ound he had to he went without further trou- ble He is a very powerful man, and as he has given considerable trouble two other times when he was arrested 1t was decided to send a squad sufficient to bring him in without having to use unnecessary force.
 Ex-Captain Johnson was released from the Middletown asylum less than six months ago and he can therefore be sent back without any action osl the part of the court It is probable that the police will take him back there to- day.
 Ex-Captain Johnson has a host of friends in this city who will be very sorry to learn of this additional att tack.

TWO SMALLPOX CASES
HAVE APPEARED IN THE TOWN
 OF REMINGTON.

Much Agitation Prevails in Conse-
 quence-Fear That Many People Have
 Been Exposed to the contagion-
 Schools to be Closed at Once.
 Two cases of smallpox, though of the mild order, are at present agitating the town of Newington. this state. and vi- cinity, and have thrown the immediate community into wild excitement The disease has been discovered on two Italian laborers who have been employ ed in one of the brickyards in Newing- ten. They, together with twelve other Italians, occupy one house and conduct it to suit themselves, doing their own housework.
 The chief cause for the excitement is that one of the Italians has been ill with the disease for about two weeks, and it was not found until yesterday that it was smallpox. It is not known to just how many people he has been exposed, but it seems more than likely that he has come in contact with many persons residing in that vicinity. The second case developed only a day or clan attending is not sure but that oth- CTS residing in the house will be ken i'll very soon. They have all come in direct contact with the sick man for some time past.
 Another reason for the worry of reci- dents of the town is that there are about 164 school children attending the public schools, and of these only sew enty-eight are vaccinated. There is in consequence an excellent opportunity for the spread of the dread disease, and Dr. Lindsley, of this city, state health officer, said last night that steps should be taken at once to close the schools to all children of the town who have not been vaccinated. The school visit ors have the power to order this, and, in the doctors expert opinion, it should be done at once.
 The house in which the Italians live has been quarantined as fas as is pos- sible, and an effort is being made to stamp out the disease in the house of it's origin. There is no hospital to which the patients might be sent for treatment, and they have to be taken care of at home.
 The house is situated almost on the New Britain line, and as the residents were in New Britain more or less it is likely that there will be d general spread of the disease unless steps are at once taken to crush it out.

Union and Non-Union Musicians Caus-
 ed a Division.
 Union and non-union musicians came together with a clash yesterday morn ing just previous to the starting of the parade and in consequence there were two parades. One was headed by the New American band and the other by the two Italian bands of the city. They took entirely different routes or lines of march and passed the city hall review ing stand at different times. Both reached St. Mary's church about the same time. however, and further than there being two parades there was no clash between union and non-union mu- sicians.
 The spectacle of two parades, made up of members of the same organiza- ton was the cause of much wonderment to many spectators. and this is in ex- planation of the occurrence
