Adulteration of Food.
Mr. Hepburn was then recognized to
speak on the resolution calling for a report
of the Agricultural Department investiga-

he felt the taking up Of this question would
interfere with. more Important questions ne
would not ask to be heard. He was con-
vinced that no more serious matter could
be presented than that of the food we eat
and said that the general welfare pro-
vision of the Constitution makes 1t incum-
bent upon Congress to consider a question
which comes home to the entire population.
He advocated the McCumber bill IN piaoe

because 1t is made to cover new as well as

want the legislation, he said, because I'M

their prescriptions filled as they wish. They

that intended. Out Of fourteen samples OF
drugs advertised thirteen were found to be
rank frauds. More than 80 per cent of the
patent medicines were, Mr.. Hepburn said.
deleterious to health. while q large per cent
were absolutely poisonous.
There was, Mr. Hepburn said, very deter
mined opposition on the part OF the neWspa-
pers which advertise the nostrums, and he
had been approached by men representing
influential journals. asking him to strike out
the provision relating to patent medicine.
One Of these men had told him that the pas

injure his business to the extent OF $4O,OO

Mr.. Hepburn said that more than half OF
