Safety In Proprietary Medicines.

Replying to the charge that certain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says;
Some years ago one of the leading
pharmacists CT America. in connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain. by an elaborate inquiry In
representative cities OF the country,
what percentage Of physicians pre-
scriptions contained a narcotic drug
Of some kind. Out OF 100000 repre-.
sentative prescriptions, dispensed in
dug stores in all parts of the United
States. II was found that 10 per cent
contained opium or some one Of It's
preparations
proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use,
while the directions accompanying
physicians prescriptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegible. 1t
Is also true that but a moderate pro
portion of proprietary medicines con.
tain any poison or narcotic and, when
they do. II IS generally In such small
quantities or so protected by accom-.
panying antIdotes, as to carry with It
