DRUG DECADENT IN MEDICINE.
Due to Increasing knowledge of the
Causes of Disease.
From Worlds Work.


Never did the public so be-drug itself as
today. The invaluable method of hypo-
dermic injection. greatly facilitating the use
Of drugs by the medical man. has perform
ed a like service-usually in this case. a
grave disservice-for the public, so that
homes for the treatment of drug habits
spring up and flourish everywhere. Morpha
cocaine, trional. paraldehyde and many
more claim what appears to be a constantly
increasing number of victims. In all these
relations. then, the drug. so far from being
decadent, is in full climax. And yet, in
sober, scientific medicine. the drug is
decadent. The discovery and use of active
principles instead of the plants that contain
them. and the employment of hypodermic
injection, though greatly facilitating the
abuse of drugs. have led also to a better
recognition of their legitimate uses-and
that Is chiefly recognition of their limita-
tons.
The days of the shotgun prescription con-
tanning a dozen different things. of which
some two or three might hit the mark, were
numbered when scientific study was di-
rected to the normal action of each con-
stituent of every drug. And with the di-
rection of individual study to individual
drugs came the discovery that drugs, except
in very few and unmistakable instances
are and can be no more than mere auxil-
iaries. usually of not more than doubtful
utility in the treatment of disease. When
you have mentioned quinine in malaria
mercury in another disease, iron in anemia
and sodium salicylate in rheumatic fever
you have practically exhausted the list of
drugs which have specific action in dis
ease.
But the discovery of the causes of disease
has done even more for the humiliation of
the drug. 1t is found that the active cause
needs certain predsposing causes to prepare
the soil for the accused seed. And among
such prediSposing causes We observe the
potency of bad air and deficiency of light
Then there comes that remarkable reyeIa-
ton of the obvious-that fresh air is worth
all the drugs in all the pharmaco put
together, and multiplied by all the eXertions
of all the German chemists yet unborn.
improbability that this, that or the other
plant shall provide cure for disease the
cause of which has nothing whatever to do
with the plant. The only indisputable ex-
ception to the irrelevance of plants in the
cure of disease is furnished by quinine in
malaria, and there, as it happens-for it Is
a palpable fuke-the drug is directly lethal
to the minute animal parasite which causes
the disease.
All but useless to cure disease drugs are
often very valuable In aiding the patient to
cure himself They are also very valuable
in relieving symptoms-a power which ex-
plains the absurd faith formerly put in
drugs and still displayed by so many. Thus
1t is that while there are many drugs and
doubtless many more to come, which are
of immense service in medicine when prop
teach in the great schools of medicine are
ever more urgently impressing upon the
student the importance of treating causes
and not symptoms.

an edict as follows:
II have received the taotafs petition con-
corning an electric lamp, called the clear

This marks an epoch In Chinese history,
and is a significant sign of progress. AS a
race the Chinese have always been famous
as inventors, and some Of the most impor-
tant inventions now used by the world are
attributed to them. They invented the
mariners compass, they were the first to
use gunpowder. they discovered the utility
of the silk worm, and used movable type Of
wood twelve hundred years before Guten-
burg was born. A long list of other impor-
tant inventions and discoveries are placed
to their credit. and no one can visit a Chi
nese city or, village without observing the
ingenuity of the common people. But the
lack of protection to discoveries and origt-
nal devices has prevented the development
Of genius and the application of new ideas
in industry and art. The first patent, how
ever, has been granted and a new era be-
gins, which will be notable for industrial
progress.

Romney "reminiscences.

Messrs Agnew's latest picture purchase
yesterday represents the last chapter in
one of those romances Of art which are
once or twice in decade played out to
conclusion in the auction room. For
hundred years none of Romney's admirers
were aware of the existence of the fine
portrait of the little girl and boy which
was sold at Christie's for 6,500 guineas;
nor is this surprising considering that it
has lain in a Whitehaven lumber room
generation after generation, rolled up,
equally unseen and unhonored. With Il
century's accumulation of dirt cleaned
from its face, this forgotten masterpiece
has indeed undergone a TRANSPORTATION.
1t is 142 years since Romney left Kendall.
where he served his apprenticeship in art,
and set up as a portrait painter, ere he
went, saw and conquered London, and for
many years challenged the supremacy Of
Sir Joshua himself Christies was crammed
to the doors when this newly discovered
treasure went by leaps and bounds from
800 to $500 guineas. and provided a sensa-
ton only paralleled of late years by the
sale for 5000 guineas two seasons ago of
frameless battered old portrait of "A
Young Lady" by Gainsborough. which
some days previously a Worthing lady
hawked about Bond street. and failed to
get the offer of a ive-pound note.

the people who did for me. l was on the

with pain.

lows on the right found l wasn't dead they
didn't take an interest in shooting at any

but that was the way it seemed at the

Anyhow, 1 made up my mind to get out

where our men had gone over the top. AS

have captured them L hadn't more than

German State Lotteries.

management of state lotteries, and to thus
reduce the Expenses and share the proceeds
on an equitable system of percentages,
avoiding the multiplication of agents and

costly competition
Although. to buy or sell ticket in one
state for lottery in another is a mis-
demeanor severely punishable, 1t is con-
stantly done. Saxony has been Prussia s
most annoying competitor by raising the
capital prize and then conniving at the sale
of tickets in Prussia.
Thereupon Prussia was obliged to raise
the prizes and to distribute such tracts as

There was nothing for it then but to
wriggle along like a snake on my breast

my right leg, but ali the feeling had gone
out of it, so l didn't mind that much. The

THRILLING EXPERIENCES OF A

MOSCOW December /, 1901
Kirinchenko, probably the most thor
oughly shot-to-pieces man who has sur
vived the present war. arrived recently
from Hardin, where after weeks in the
hospital the doctors extracted seventeen
bullets from him. amputated one leg and
discharged him as cured. He gave his ex-
periences in quiet matter-of-fact way,
and one can hardly do better than quote
his own words. He said:
1T was at Liaoyang that 1 got put out
of commission for good On the evening
of September we had been ordered to at
tack some of the japanese trenches. We
had to cross a good piece of open ground
under a heavy cross-fire and there were
men falling every step from the time we
broke cover to the minute we rushed the
trenches at. the point of the bayonet. Moth
ing happened to me until we were close to
the japanese lines, when I got bullet in
my right foot that brought me down. From
that time l was no more good except as
a target and 1 must say I drew a good
deal of japanese ammunition, If that count
