indispensable Requisite in Compound
ing of Some Prescriptions
1t is of course true that some pro-
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain it. 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
II q substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture OF
medicines, its discoverer would render
a great service to the profession or
pharmacy and the science of medi-
cine. for alcohol is a 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 a 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 rs per cent contain
it in large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganic substances from deterioration
and from freezing, and it is also re-
quired 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-
ciples) 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 intoxlcat-
| 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
stated intervals only. To assume that
any great number of proprietary med
| icines are used as beverages is the
| vericst NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Perfect Pun.

A perfect pun makes good sense
both ways; the edges meet with
click like the blades of a sharp pair of
shears Sometimes the very thoughts
fit tignL together in antagonistic iden-
tity, as when the man said of the tenn
perance exhorter that he would be
a good fellow if he would only let
drink alone; or when Disraeli Gf it
was he, wrote to the Touth who had
sent him a first novel: Il thank you
very much shall lose no time in
reading it, or, as when a man seeing
a poor piece of carpentry, said: THAT
chicken coop looks as if some man
had made it himself Exquisite per-
verse 1iteralness of thought! And the
same absolute punning, the very self
destruction of proposition, was the
old death-thrust at poor poet by the
friend who said: His poetry will be
read when Shakespeare and Homer
are forgotten" 1t was a fine double
edged blade of speech until some Grade
fellow, Heine, I think, sharpened it to
wire edge by adding, land not till

fully, and they sat in silence at the
opposite ends of the table, wondering
at the novelty of it all, and gazing
at each other.

of honor-did you like it, Fred?" she
asked, finally.
Never enjoyed anything so much in
my llfe,' he said, and swallowed a
lump.
Every thing everything-from soup
to pudding?'
Every mouthful, from soup to pud-
ding" he said bravely.
"Oh, I'm So relieved, then,'' she said,
as a huge sigh escaped her. "You

the sauce for the pudding, and I had
to have something, so 1 took the
cough syrup, and Twas SO afraid you'd
