In an article in the Animals Friend
c. Leighton discusses the home treat
ment Of dogs, the various forms of dis
temper and their special treatment. To
improper food as we'll as excess in eat
ing he attributes the chief cause of this
malady. "A little bread and milk or a
plain biscuit should alone constitute
his diet, and no alarm need be felt if
the dog refuses to eat. His appetite
will return with his health" He adds
that bones are distinctly harmful and
frequently fatal, since they loosen the
teeth, give them a taste for meat
which puts them off their proper food,
and if a splinter is swallowed it fire.

To the Editor of the News, Sir
1 am well aware that very few take
any interest in news paper controver-
sizes, but as physician, l will ask
In defensce of the profession, only a
short space to reply to an article pub
lished In the last Issue Of the News,
defending patent medicines and signed
"A Defender.
No up-to-date physician, a gradu-
ate Of the allopathic school ever pre-
scribes a patent medicine Some Of
the old doctors may occasionally be
an exception. But when they do al
low patient to take patent nos
trum, they afterwards acknowledge
tn ey are ashamed of it, and excuse
themselves 10y saying they allowed this
10 be done ty a convalescent, telling
him what the evangelist did, in his ex-
citement when he asked the sinners to
come forward and he would do them
20 harm and little good as possible. A
weli-read physician cannot afford to
employ these so-called medicines, for
the reason that he has been informed
through our chemists of what these
mysterious compounds are composed.
Some Of the most popular remedie s,
among the laity, such as certain CON
sumption cures, One-day cough cures,
and soothing syrups, have been found
by analysis TO contain simple syrup
and opium. Another class of these
medicines, known tonics, contain
per cent. of alcohol as large as the re-
venue laws will allow. which renders
them great sellers.
Many of the sure cure remedi es for
all liver and kidney diseases have been
found, ny the chemists, to- contain
SIENNA, the principal ingredient about
as ineffective as the old woman's
"Ditney. The only requirements to
made patent medicine a success, are
to prepare it IN a palatable form and
conceal, as near as possible, the
principal drug, and to have the ready
cash to advertise IL.
A few proprietary medicines are PIE
scribed by our best physicians, when
1t is known to them that such medic
ines are put mp by "eliable manufac-
lures and the formula of course given.
Some Of the most satisfactory eme-
dies in the proprietary line contain
such deadly poisons as strychnine
and opium and even hydrocyanic
acid And some of these medicines are
used for convent ence, such as are
prepared in tablet form, although they
are CON pounds of belladonna uitlo-
glycerine, dIgitallis and the coal tar
derivatives, which latter we term pain
killers, but which Mr. Defender is
pleased to call germicides. But there
are many other proprietaries that We
can not afford to prescribe. They are
brought TO Us almost daily by travel
ing agents. recommended to be some
thing new, and cheap and to taste
good, something that will conceal the
dreaded drug Such medicines are
laid aside by the careful doctors. We
seldom lear OF a physician Of long and
good standing inyentIng p. tent or

TESTING FARM SEEDS.
1t Should BE Done Before Planting

Unless farmer learns TO do this sort

TO be sowing weak seed or a certain per

farmers of this state from seeding bin

weakened wheat and oats is 10 my
knowledge. very much greater than any
one would ordinarily estimate. SAYS
