Matrimonv VS.. Femsl. Labor.

One objection to trained female la
Dor, says the Medical Press and Cir
culator, is that the service is liable
10 be disorganized by epidemics of
matrimony among the employees
Nurses are by no means exempt from
this weakness. and Of late a disposi-
tion has shown itself in certain hospi-
tals to discourage the admission Of
young women who are engaged" on
the ground that the fact of their fu-
ture being thus mortgaged indisposes
them to that selfabnegation and
single minded devotion to duty which
are held to constitute the stock in
trade of those who propose TO take up
nursing as a profession. Some of the
young women may prefer the indepen-
dence of the single state, but the ma
iority assuredly only await the oppor-
tunity TO disqualify themselves for
the nursing profession.

Y,hat They strlve For.

At dinner that w. d. Howells gave
at Kittery in Henry James honor the
talk turned to biographies.
Nothing is more difficult" said Mr.
James. than to write modestly the
biography of a contemporary The
standard life of Dickens illustrates
this fact well.
1T is a fact we'll illustrated, too,
by story that has of late been tray-
cling over London.
"one publisher said to another:
When are the Blanks going to
bring out that life of Whistler which
Jones. the art critic, has been work
ing on?
well said the second publisher,
zones is pegging away diligently, but
he is not satisfied with what he has
done
That is odd laughed the first
publisher Jones usually is well
pleased with his own work
"T know was the reply, but in
this biography of Whistler he finds it
very difficult to make himself out a
greater man than his hero. "

A Patent Medicine Talk

This meant not only the highest
qlality In manufacture, but the very
greatest cconomy-the cutting out
Of every wasteful item and every UNI
necessary expense.
The remedies when manufactured
were shipped directly from the
laboratory to the retail druggists.
This Insured their freshness and
made il impossible for their quality
to deteriorate. Not only that, but
It also did away with the jobbers
profit. Here again the cooperative
system added not only quality but
brought about economy.
Most Of CIR patrons are familiar
with these fists. Most of them are
already acquainted with the for
1nulas Of Rcs.all Remedies which are
manufactured by the United Drug
Co., with laboratory and principal
olaccs in Boston, fiass. These are
the remedies and this IS the cooper
alive company that We believe has
done more to bring about change
in patent medicine conditions than
any other cl=rnent IN existence.
Each cf The Rcxall druggists
know absolutely what each Rexall
remedy contains. He has the for
rnula Of eacn remedy on file in his
safe. Re yvill gladly give it to any
enc who is interested. There IS
nothing secret about any Of The Rex
all formulas. On the contrary, we
are thoroughly proud Of them We
want you TO l-now about them.

No one Re..all remedy Is "cure-
all" 1t is MT necessary fcr Us TO
invent diseases and symptoms and
then endeavor to convince you that
one Rexall remedy will cure YOU of
every ailnent in the world. To our
minds that has been one Of The
fundamental errors Of patent mcdi-
cine manufacturers, and that has
been corrected by the Rexall people.
One remedy for each i'll, and that
remedy the unquestioned best in the
world, is the principle upon which
ReXall success Is founded.
We are proud of our connection
with Rexal. We are proud to be
able to offer to the people of this
community, lire of remedies that
we can back up with every bit of
reputation we have earned by
square dealing and honest, con-
scientious treatment of our trade.
Cur confidence in Rexall is shown
by the fact that we absolutely guar
antee every Eexall remedy we sell.
This is not an empty phrase with US,
we mean just what we say. If you
buy Rexall remedy and are not
entirely satisfied with it. all you
need to do is to bring the empty
bottle or package back to us and
say Il was not satisfied, please give
me my money" and we will return
the money to you instantly and
cheerfully.
We feel that you are comforting
an obligation upon us when you do
this. We want to know every case
that the Rexall remedies fail to cure.
We want you to get your money
back if the remedy has not done the
work you expected it to do.
Can any principle of business be
fairer than this? Is it not thor
oughly in accord with President
Roosevelt's doctrine of the square
deal for every man?
From time to time in newspaper
announcements, we shall say vari-
Gus things about various Rexall
remedies. We want the people to
understand thoroughly what the
word Rexall means to every family
in this entire community. IF the
real facts about Rexall were appre-
ciated to-day, no other patent medi-g
cines would need to be offered to
the people.

Several years ago, a thousand of
the leading druggists throughout
the United States organized them
selves together in a cooperative
company TO produce remedies which
they could back " with their own
names and their own regulations.
The G-st object cf this co-opera-
tive company was 90 produce line
Of remedies that every druggist
would know thoroughly. There
were TO De no secret formulas; the
ingredients of every remedy would
be known TO every druggist.
Each of these thousand druggists
contr' bnted to the organization all
that his knowledge and experience
had brought 10 him in the way of
advice as to different remedies.
The formulas Of something like
1000 or more remedies were sent to
the company. a committee of ex-
perts was appointed and this COM
rlittee went over the various for
r7Hlas conscientiouely and earnestly
for a long period Of time and selected
from the entire list about 200 stand
ard remedies, the manufacture Of
which the company then undertook.
The company in the meantime
had erected perfect laboratory
large. well-appointed, with every APP
pliance known to modern skill. The
combined capital of a thousand
druggists made it possible for the
company to purchase in the largest
quantities, the fundamental drugs
and herbs. etc. that form the in
gradients Of the various remedies.

Readers Of such leading rnaga-
zines, as the Ladies Home Jour
nal and Golfers Weekly" must
have noticed recently many articles
relative to patent medicines.
The editors Of these magazines
are seeking to bring about by legii-
lation and agitation, what they
choose to call a reform in the patent
medicine business. They make the
statement that it is not only unsafe,
but unwise, and in many cases de-
structive Of health, for people to
purchase and consume patent medi-
cines the ingredients of which they
have no knowledge.
1t it not our purpose to enter into
a discussion of the merits or de-
merits Of this agitation or crusade.
Thousands of people have used
patent medicines and have been
benefited by them. At the same time
there are undoubtedly evils existing
in the ABUSE of some so-called
patent medicines. Because you
have a thief in your neighborhood
you would not say the whole neigh
borhood is composed of thieves. We
know that we have plenty of Gus
toners at our counters who tell our
clerks what benefit they derive from
This or that preparation.
We. even with this knowledge
1t is hard for us to say what one
among the patent medicines is the
"neighborhood backlog The UNI
fortunate part of our position IS
that we do not know the formulas
of the patent medicines we sell.
We do not believe that the pro-
prietors Of patent medicines are dis
honest or that they are Intentionally
nlisrepresenting their products. If
we did we would certainly refuse to
sell their goods over our counter.
Our exact position in this patent
medicine agitation is this: We arc
the servants Of The public. We sell
and viii continue to sell patent
medicines just the same as the gro
Ger sells yor canned corn or pota-
toes. We want our patrons to find
IN our stock just what they demand,
My we can positively say that at
any time we find a medicine is in
furious we VIII throw it out Of our
store.
