ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES.

Indispensable Requisite in Compound.
lao sof Some, Prescriptions.
1t is of course true that some pro-
prietary medicines contain alcohol and
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain 1t. No honest
man will defend the sale of intOxi-
cants under the guise of medicine; but
every honest man should protest
against system Of wholesale denun-
citation born of malice or ignorance
of pharmaceutical principles and fos-
tered by selfish interests. 1t is as
sumed that alcohol is the cause of in
temperance; but there is a great diff
ference between alcohol and whisky.
If a substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture OF
medicines Its discOverer would render
great service to the profession of
pharmacy and the science of medi-
cine, for alcohol is very expensive
Ingredient and cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted. Unfortun-
ately the word alcohol in the minds OF
many people is associated exclu-
Sively with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms of degradation and vice.
This is due to lack of knowledge
by the general public of the fact that
alcohol is an indispensable requisite
in drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts.
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 to
80 per cent of alcohol; and of all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than Is per cent contain
At in large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
Sanic substances from deterioration
and from freezing, and it is also re-
quircd to dissolve substances not sOlu
BILE in water, while it contributes to
their preservation when dissolved
Diluted alcohol is largely employed in
fluid extracts; and whenever greater
strength Of alcohol is required as a
solvent (for extracting medicinal prin
cipIcs) the medicine Is of such char
acter as to preclude large dosage;
and for this reason preparations, even
if containing so per cent or more OF
alcohol ARE practically less intOxicat.
ing than beer. In such cases the
character of the medicinal constituents
is such as to absolutely forbid the
taking of the medicine in any way
except in very small doses and at
any:great number of proprietary med
icines are used as beverages is the
veriest surdity.-EXchange

Attention has been called to the

Russell had made no mistake. There
was but one jewel like that in the
whole world. He had made sure of
that before he bought it for his wife
ten years before. Curious it was; a
solid diamond heart, flanked by a
score of tiny ruby ones, held in place
by the finest thread of gold that was
quite invisible at the distance OF
few feet. -
Tonight she was wearing it in
new place-as a sole ornament to the
cleaning pile of corn-gOld hair that,
alone, might have made Mamie Rus
sell beauty-famous. But besides this,
there were eyes of a matchless amber
gray, richly pale, perfect skin. and
fine, scarlet lips that were gravely
sweet
Russell gradually let his eyes away
from the jewel to furtive contempla-
ton of his wife's familiar features.
No; seven years had made slow prog

grown more splendid in her thirties
than she had ever been in the old girl

She was conversing spiritedly with
an ambassador, and Russell thanked
Heaven that he had been allotted a
seat at the other end of the table She
would hardly bestow more than a
casual glance in that direction, and he
relied upon his short beard and eye
glasses to protect him from recogni-
lion.

the hardest work the young broker
had ever done in his life.

Clerk.

1t is possible that the Board of Street

moved by Mayor Fagan's objections to
the resolution increasing the salary of
Truesdale Y. Brown, clerk of the As
sessment Commissioners, and that the
veto viii be ignored. Mr.. Brown receives
a salary of 81, 200 year. Persons who
are familiar with the amount of work
performed by Mr.. Brown say that he is
underpaid and that $1,SO0 a year, at
which figure the Street and Water
Boards resolution places his salary, is
not excessive Mr.. Brown thinks the
Mayors objections are due to the fact
that he is Democrat
Some people may have an idea as
serted Mr.. Brown, ".that the three As
sessment Commissioners actually make
the assessments. They do not do any
thing but come here once a week and
sign their names to the assessment maps
that prepare. Assessment Commission
ers have always held sinecures as the
clerk did all the work.
Besides discovering mistakes in as
sessments that cost the city 5000 while

mat had the assessment map for the
Clendenny avenue and vicinity sewers
