BIG PUBLISHER SUED.

Chicago, Oct. 1c.-The Peruna Drug
Manufacturing Company, manufactur-
ers of widely known proprietary med
icine, has brought suit in the Superior
Court of the City of Chicago against
the Curtis Publishing Company of Phil
adelphia, alleging that it has been
damaged to the extent of $3.50, 900 by a
recent article in the Ladies Home
Journal.
The suit is based on a statement re-
Gently made in that journal that a
testimonial as to the merit of the rem
edy manufactured by the plaintiff, al
legged to have been given by Congress-
man George H. White of South Caro-
lima, was fraudulent, denial from Mr.
White that he ever gave such a testi-
monial also being printed.
The Peruna company declares that
Congressman White did give the testi-
monial in good faith, and that it has
two original letters from Mr.. White. 1t
declares that Mr.. White was led to
repudiate the testimonial through a
misunderstanding.
This is the second large damage suit
that has been filed against the Curtis
Publishing company since it inaugur-
ated its attacks on Patent Medicines"

ALCOHOLIC CANDY.
Have Recently Grown in Public Favor
in London.

in London.
The so-called "liqueur-chocolates'
which have recently grown into popu-
lar favor in London are reported to
contain over per cent of pure alco-
hol. Until few years ago, says the
Lancet, sweets containing a liquid
preparation, chiefly alcohol. sur
rounded by hardened mass of sugar,
were somewhat extensively manu-
featured. The excise authorities woke
up to the fact that revenue was being
lost to them, and the practice was
stopped, some other fluid replacing
the alcohol. That the liqueur-choco-
lates will be promptly suppressed for
the same reason is probable. AS the
Lancet points out, however, the traf
fic should be condemned on other and
more important grounds-namely that
it might readily lead to actual poison
ing in the case of young children, or
to the unconscious formation of an
alcohol habit in older persons.

Some Kind Hints to Engaged Girls by
Matron.

In the course of some hints to en-
gagged girls, a matronly adviser re-
marked: 1T would be we'll if an en-
gagged girl would occasionally put her
self in her sweetheart's place and try
to see herself through his eyes. Would
you (as a mani be proud of sweet
heart who made malicious remarks
about other women? Would you like
her to accept your presents as though
they were merely her due, and not
tokens ct thoughtful attention calling
for grateful appreciation? Would you
like to be kept waiting fifteen OF
twenty minutes when you called to
escort her to a theater or a party?
Would not the long wait suggest even
longer delays for meals when, after
the honeymoon, you settled down to
everyday life with it's throng OF bust

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
CverzeaIous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

CVerzeaIous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised BY interested
parties Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package IF proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula showing
Just how it is manufactured. The mill
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it, such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet It
is in fact nothing more nor less than
q scheme to compel the manufacture
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy Of every
commercial pirate who might choose
10 flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly TO
the benefit of the pirates and fmita-
tors Without advertising. the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired il
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl-
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use OF
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising
Why, then, should the manufactures
of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills Exchange.
Even a reputation will get tarnish-
