3 ST. PETERSBURG, October 15.--For
the first time since the advent Of M
aTrepoff as head Of the government OF
StAPetersburg, demonstrations on a large
scale took place here to-day, the occasion
being the removal of the body Of Prince
1'roubetslsoy to the Nikola station for
shipment to Moscow. Students, work
men and spectators gathered in thou
aands In the streets and demonstrators
with red flags paraded boldly through
the Ncvsky Prospect, the city's main
avanue.
The crowds and the professions were
several times charged and dispersed by
mounted police, but fortunately with no
grave consciousness. The most serious
injuries reported are those sustained by
two men who were slashcd with sabres.
Firearms were not employed by the gem
darmere or military, and though f1e
first collision was provoekd by Il shot
from the crowd and a few cases Of ston-
Ing occurred, the crowds manifested no
lnclinationito resist the police and troops.
More Disorder Feared.
The studorts are eSasperated over the
attacks by the police, and the arrest Of
several members OF a. coalition commit,
tee chosen by n student meeting Septem-
ber 26th n renewal of the disorders Is
not improbable.
The serious feature Of the situation Is
that strike Of printers was declared
tonight on political grounds, which Is
10 last for a period Of three days, but
1t may be continued longer In case OF
repressive measures or arrests.
"A few. of the leading daily newspapers
hope to be able to issue n single sheet,
giving telegraphic news, but the others
will suspend publ cation entirely
The employees OF several factories are
ready to follow the lead of the printers,
and the authorities are fully alive to the
danger that the strike may become
general one. M 55S q
Red Flags Waved.
Red flag demonstrations In the Ncvsky
Prospect this afternoon drew out immense
crowds of spectators, but a squadron OF
gcndarmcs and {Cossacks drove the DEM
opstrators away without resorting to
force.
There we're no disturbances in the in
dustrlal quarter OF the city. Large forces
of troops were held in readiness in the
court yards Of the barracks and in the
squares in various parts OF the city to
deal with any disorder.
From the Ncvsky Prospect O band Of
students and workmen, carrying red flags
and chanting revol uuonary songs, marched
across the river and began an open mir
meeting In the square In front OF the
university. While speeches were In pro-
gress the police again charged and dis
persed the crowds. In the melee a work
man and @ student received sabre cuts.

AcTUATED BY >SEEFISHNESS
Attacks Upon Patent Medicines Are
Made by Men of Mercen-
ary Mind.

"a No other business of legitimate
character has ever been obliged to stand
SUCH unwarranted and vicious attacks
as have been made on the patent medi-
cine" business by men of supposed and
PROGRESSED intelligence and honesty who
have, in most cases, been actuated only
by desire to further their own selfish
ends. The patent medicine" business
is one that had it's inception in the dire
necessity of the people, and one that has
grown to its present magnitude by rea-
son of the virtue of the preparations it
has put eout. At the present time the
patent medicine" business represents
the investment of many millions of dol
lars and the employment of many thou
sands of men.
The business of the "paten medicine"
manufacturers is to provide a system
of medication, for home use, that lacks
nothing in efficacy when compared with
doctors remedies, for simple and ia
miliar ailments, and which is. at the
same time within the financial reach of
all.
In the practice OF medicine physicians
originated .or assimulated many spe-
chic remedies. Sometimes the knows.
edge of specifics was obtained from an
old grandmother, who had practiced the
healing art with roots, herbs and banks.
Some Of them have been devised by the
ingenuity of physicians, but many Of
them have been handed down from gen.
Grafton to generation. Those are the
simple remedies in every day use and in
constant demand.
These remedies were so constantly
used that their efficacy became generally
knowingly became the standards of
the medical world, the medical staples.
so to speak. Physicians who used them
and who knew their result producing
ability saw the demand for them and de-
vlsed means for their wholesale mann.
facture in laboratories great enough tn
make economy and exactness possible.
when the first physician started to man
ufacture more of a certain remedy than
he needed for immediate use the "patent
medicine business was born. and with
It's birth there came into existence the
system Of family medication that is now
so generally in vogue.
