Will Not Raise Quarantine.

Shreveport.-Dr. T. e. Crumpert re-
turned from Austin, Texas, where he
conferred with DR.. Tabor relative to
modifying the Texas quarantine
against Shreveport, so as to permit
passenger trains to operate through
Texas to and from this city. DR.. Ia
Dor told him that he was anxious to
raise the quarantine, but could not do
so at present, because Of the Objec-
lions urged by the health authorities
of Marshall. He said though that he
would use his influence to have the
quarantine raised within a week or
ten days.
An injunction was filed in the dis
trict court today against the Shreve-
port Baord of Health in behalf of the
fifty normal school students and teach
ers at Natchitoches, who were not
permitted to enter this city because
of the quarantine against Natchito-
ches. 1t was the purpose of the young
women to come to Shreveport in or
der to go from here to their homes in
various parts of the country, and they
had the injunction brought to prevent
the local health authorities Interior
ing with their movements. A few
hours after the injunction was filed,
however, the attorneys for the plain
tiff were notified to withdraw it on ao-
count of the fact that a case of vel
low fever was reported at Bayou
Natchez, six miles from Natchitoches.
Subsequently. the Board of Health
was notified by DR.. w. T. Williams,
health officer of Natchtoches parish,

it with but slight damage. The houses

REMEDIES USED BY MILLIONS
Truth About the Popular proprietary
Medicines"


The recent campaign against the
use of proprietary medicines, conduct
ed in the columns of The Ladies
Home Journal and Golfers Weekly.
has evoked an answer from the Com
mittee on Legislation of the Proprle-
tary Association. The committee says:
In considering the question raised
by recent attacks upon proprietary
medicines, every reasonable man will
admit that there is wide and legiti-
mate field for the manufacture and
sale of medicines already prepared
for general use and easily Obtalnable
at all times and everywhere. :.
AS q matter Of fact these medicines
are not patented at all, and the popu-
lar use of the word patent in connec-
ton with them is misnomer. Any
pharmacist will tell you that practi-
cally the only patent medicines In
use to-day are those which are manu-
featured either by foreign or domestic
pharmaceutical houses, and which are
now almost exclusively dispensed by
physicians or designated by them in
their prescriptions.
THE medicines which are now the
subject of wholesale attack by MI
BOX and Editor Hapgood are the old
fashioned family remedies properly
described as proprietary medicines
They are the favorite remedies among
millions of people all over the coun-
try; and. Notwithstanding the con-
slant effort of some physicians to Gre
ate prejudice against them, no one
ever yet heard of any of the millions
of users of such remedies asking for
legislation or other action adverse to
