WRONG MEDICINES CURE.
Girls Got Their Doses Mixed, But the
Results Were Entirely
Satisfactory.

II received a shock about the value
OF medicine quite early in my career"
said a woman doctor who has been
ten years establishing a paying prac-
tice in New York, relates the Press.
After taking my degree I accepted q
position as resident in a large girls
school up the Hudson. Such a posi-
ton is no sinecure. In a school with
300. girls tho resident doctor will have
about three times as much to do as in
school with an equal number of
boys. The superintendent discovered
that some of the girls were having
their medicine bottles filled at a drug
store in the village without the know
LEDGE of the house doctor, and that
they were doing themselves positive
harm. The order was sent out that
empty medicine bottles must be re-
turned to the school DOCTOR I was
expected to keep a record of them in
book set aside for the purpose.
1T was the custom of the girls to
leave their medicine bottles en- the
dining room table. Then they would
take them either before or after meals,
as prescribed, and there was little
danger of forgetting the dose. The
girls were. expected to write their
names on the label, so that the wait
resses would know where to put each
bottle when setting the tables
II remember distinctly prescribing
for Miss Crank for loss of appetite and
weak digestion. She was to take a
teaspoonful Of her medicine before
meals. The same morning I pre-
scribed for Miss Blank a medicine to
reduce the heart action. She had too
much vitality. She was to take her
dose Immediately after meals. The
bottles were sent to the dining room
and the girls wrote their names on
them as usual. In few days Miss
Crank came back with a bottle of
medicine half filled.
81 don't think l require any more
Of this at present, DOCTOR she said. Il
am feeling all right again.
II looked at the bottle and then at
my records.
"'Have you been taking this medi-
cine as prescribed?' asked.
"'Certainly.'
And it has braced you up?'
"'Wonderfully.'
"'1n day or two Miss Blank came
with an empty bottle.
1T has done me SO much good, doc
tor she said, that shall keep on taxi
ing it, unless you object
"'Heart palpitation all gomez I
asked.
"'No sign Of it for days. she re-
piled. 49,:
Well said. I will let you wait
awhile, and If there Is a recurrence of
the trouble, alter your medicinal

the waiter had inocently changed
those medicine bottles, and that the
doses taken conscientiously by each
girl had no more effect on their physi-
cal ailments than they had on the &C.

Cut two slips of paper long enough

Tie one end of the twine to a nail or

end with one hand and with the other
move the bottle quickly backward and

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2S.
A %DISGRACEFUL JAIL.

After reading the following in the
Newark Evening News, last night,
one naturally thinks of our lookup
at the city hall:
The reported condition of the Ber-
gen County Jail brings again to the
front the question whether prisoners
are human beings or only some kind
of malicious animal, fit to be subject
ed to cruel treatment and torture.
The cells are not only "outrageously
small" according to the Statement
made by DR.. Bradner, secretary of
the Bergen County Medical Society,
but are insuficiently ventilated.
They are wide enough to hold a cot.
upon which n man can sleep, but
there arc forty-three prisoners and
only twenty-five cells, SO that two
men are compelled to occupy a space
not large enough to reasonably ac-
~commodate one If any of the pris-
toner's have consumption, these are
the best possible conditions for the
spread OF the disease. But the most
barbarous feature of the jail is the
existence and use of a dark cell or
dungeon, into which obstreperous
prisoners are put for punishment. 1t
has no cot, no furniture, no grated
door, no window; nothing but a hole
six inches in diameter in the lower
part of a sheet-iron door. This
furnishes the prisoner light and air
The prisoner is allowed only a few
blankets or clothes to lie on. Ber-
gen County is wealthy enough to
have a decent jail, and ought to be
wise enough and humane enough to
treat its prisoners with some degree
of humane consideration.

DR., Joachim, one Of the most ia

his sevcnty-fourth birthday in Lon

Paganini's violin rests in the old

in a glass case, and has never been

Leonardo de Vinci not only put the

all these ports in the way of enlarg-
ing and increasing the capacity.
At the Lehigh Valley docks here
extensive repairs and alterations
have been made and many modern
appliances and up-to-date methods
have been introduced.
At Port Reading the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad is building an
entire new pier Of enormous capacity
and is likewise adding its facilities
there.
Over at South Amboy the Pennsyl-
vania railroad is contemplating es-
t~ablishing an entire new stockyard
equal to the one already on the south
side of the river.
These activities can mean nothing
more or less than a general prepar-
alton for closing the mines INDEF-
INITELY.
This leaves but one conclusion.
Should a strike occur, the general
public, the ommon people, as some
choose to call them, will be the suf-
ferers.
The coal barons will have ALL
THE COAL THEY NEED for the
time being and will dispose of it in
quantities and at prices to suit them
selves. The miners will be STARRY
ING and OUT OF WORK.
The situation presents n of the
greatest problems for this form of
government. In a republic the peo-
pie are supposed to rule, but do they
rule?
They SHOULD rule, but how about
a coal strike, WHO RULES?
While the miners are preparing
their case and making their plans;
and while the operators are prepar-
ing to meet them, what are the peo-
pie, the general public, through their
representatives in congress and state
legislatures, doing to protest THEIR
interests?
Can nothing be done? Then some
thing is radically wrong and it is the
duty of the legislators to find the
fault and remedy it.
The people should not be made to
suffer as they did a few years ago.
They are still paying for it in the in
creased price of coal.
