QUACK METHODS IN MEDICINE.

One doctors suggestion we deem
distinctly valuable, We have a good
deal of trouble on hand just now, but
are always ready for more. We have
announced that Mr.. Adams is to take
up the quacks after he has had his
say on patent medicines, and now a
physician thinks we should also touch
upon abuses in the regular profession,
and especially on what he call the
drug graft. II may not be generally
known that many doctors receive a
commission upon prescriptions Very
often the physician does this as a mat
ter of course, without giving. serious
thought to the moral aspect of the
question, but in some instances it leads
physicians to write more prescriptions
than are necessary. in order to in
crease their income. 1t is needless to
point out that this money is earned
at the patients expense, for either the
druggist charges an extortionate price
for prescriptions, or he uses inferior
drugs. The patient of the honest ply
sican suffers equally with the patient
of the CRATER, as the druggist will not
make two prices. There is also, though
much rarer. a commission graft" 4"
where a surgeon offers to physicians
a percentage of the surgical fee re-
ceived from the patient. This ar
rangement causes venal physicians to
switch their surgical cases to venal
surgeons. The venal surgeon charges
extOrtionate prices, because he not
only has to make his fee, but also to
pay the venal physician. THE Pri-
vate Hospital Graft is said to be a
good deal worse in the west than in
the east The physician who sends
cases to a certain hospital receives
back a percentage of the patients
hospital fees; the hospital gets a rake
off from the druggist; or unnecessary
laboratory examinations are made and
the patient pays. Abuses exist in
every walk of life, but no class of men
work harder to keep their profession
clean than physicians do.-Collier's
Weekly.

We exterminated Indians because
the land they occupied was needed.
The superior race could not work out
its opportunities except by sending

A Legend of Gold

Lucifer craved one boon of God
After his fall, as his own to hold:
So he gave him a mite in heavens
sight,
But 10: the gift that he gave was
gold.
And Lucifer wrought with the rugged
ore
Till he fashioned 1t wondrous fair,
and then
He set price on the precious store,
And the price was the blood and
tears of men.
Blood and tears! and the price was
paid;
Blood was nothing, and tears were
free;
And Lucifer smiled at the fools and
said:
Surely your souls should belong to
mel"
So he offered the earth with its golden
heart,
And the seas, with their fleets from
pole to pole;
And they looked with lust on the
worldwide mart,
And said in their hearts, ut is worth
the soul"
And kinds were they and they ruled
right well.
Gorgeously sped their sovereign
day
But Lucifer hath their souls in hell,
And their gold and their empires
where are they?

CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with a cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become inhamed
and secrete filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the In-
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.
Ihad Catarrh for about fifteen years,
tried every thing could hear of, but no
good resulted. then began 8. 8. s.,

Local applications cannot cure Catarrh,
because they do not reach the seat of the

and temporarily relieve the disease, but
as soon as they are left off the trouble re-

to treat it through the blood. S. S. S. soon

TALL CORN STORY.

Stories of big corn are going the
rounds in the papers, and the Chula,
CMo) Jews adds the following little
mite: About a month ago Bill Harris,
who has 80 acres of corn two miles
north of Chula, concluded he would
go through it once more with culti-
vator.
He drove into the field one morn
ing and started down the row. He
had some difficulty in getting his
mules near the field but finally sue
ceeded in getting them through the
gate. But he found it impossible to
keep his mules in the field. After re-
peated efforts he drove home and
unhitched.
The corn was growing so fast that
the popping sounded like artillery.
and his mules. never having been in
battle, would not stand for the awful
din. The noise of the growing corn
drowned the words of command with
which Mr.. Harris was wont to control
the wild impetuosity of his hybrid
steeds in time of peace, and he has
been compelled for the month past,
and even up to this day, to drive out
of his way to keep from passing the
noisy eighty.
Our friend informed us that the
conditions are getting better, because
of the fact that the popping and snap
ping is where the new ears shoot
that is. pretty well up the stalk. and
already the corn is so high that you
can only hear muffled reports. He
says that by next week the corn will
be so high that you will not hear it al
all except the echo from the Medicine
hills at night time. And thus it is that
Missouri keeps up her reputation foI
fine, splendid corn.

Crowd.
Portland, Ore, June 19-Usually an
exposition is disappointed during it's
early days by reason of an attendance
falling far below expectations, but this
is not the case with the Lewis and
Clark exposition. During the first
week the admissions were 99,275.
These included the remarkably large
attendance of 39;577 on the opening
day. But the average for the first
week, exclusive of opening day, was
10,6OS. This is considered remarkable,
in view of the general tendency of the
public to wait several weeks after the
opening of fair, on the presumption
that there will be more to see later.
The Portland fair will run 1877 days,
or until October Is. Expert guessers,
before the opening, figured that the
total attendance would be from
100000 to 100000. Even If the
daily average does not exceed that of
the first week, the attendance will be
but little short of million and a
half-the highest figure set by the
guessers.
But as the exposition progresses the
crowds are sure to increase. This is
the history of all expositions. Every
day there is some special event, and
during the season there are a number
of such events which will more than
double the ordinary attendance. The
exposition management is highly graft
fed at the suspicious start already
made.
