REMEDIES USED BY MILLIONS
Truth About the Popular proprietary
Medicines"

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 Proprie-
tary Association. The committee says:
In considering the question raised
by recent attacks upon proprietary
medicines, every reasonable man will
admit that there is a wide and legiti
mate field for the manufacture and
sale of medicines already prepared
for general use and easily obtainable
at all times and everywhere.
As matter of fact these medicines
are not patented at all, and the popu-
lar use of the word patent in connec-
stion with them is a 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 Mr.
Box and Editor Hapgood are the old
fashioned family remedies properly
described as proprietary medicines
They are the favorite remedies among
millions of oeople all over the coun
try; and, notwithstanding the con
slant effort of some physicians to ere
ate prejudice against them no one
ever yet heard of any of the million:
of users of such remedies asking fol

Drawing the Line.

Painting.


Painting is more frequent in sum
mer than at other seasons of the year.
1t is caused by a sudden failure of the
heart? Thus the brain has an insult
ficient amount of blood-things turn
dark, the patient falls to the ground
and is limp and unconscious. The face
is pale.
Fear, joy, unpleasant sights, loss of
blood, or pain, may cause fainting.
Nature suggests remedy in having
the patient fall. About the only thing
to do is not to do the very thing that
four out of five persons do in a case
of fainting; namely, raise the patient.
1t is perfectly permissible to raise the
patient, provided you keep the feet
higher than the head. No pillow
should be used for the head. The
clothing around the neck should be
loosened; a dash of cold water thrown
in the face will cause a gasp for
breath, and the spell is over. The pa
tient should keep the reclining posi-
ton for some time after he becomes
conscious.
Ordinarily in a few minutes the pa
is done than to allow him to lie per-
fectly horizontal If in a crowd, the
people should be made to stand back,
thus allowing plenty of fresh air. The
patient should be removed to a quiet
place as soon as possible. Hot drinks,
and hot and cold applications to the
spine are valuable if there is ten
dency for the attack to recur.

samuel ION perS, IN an ADDRESS IN
Philadelphia, said to labor organiza-
ton wittily:
There are at least no high finan-
ciers among you and none of your

Mr. Gompers had been talking
about human natures proneness to

this point, he said:

Smith feels ashamed of himself for
wanting to trick Jones, Jones at the
same time feels ashamed of himself
for wanting to trick Smith.
Two friends of mine-let us call
the Jones and Smith for convenience
were camping last month in the
Canada woods.
''The days were superb. Cool, sweet
airs rocked the trees and in sky Of
the clearest blue shone a splendid
sun. But the nights were cold; it
was necessary for Jones and Smith,
who had only one blanket apiece, to
keep a fire roaring at their feet all
the while they slept The moment
the fire dwindled the cold seized them.
We'll, in the dead watches Jones
awoke one night and shivered His
teeth chartered; he was miserable.
The fire had shrunken to a handful of
gray ashes, wherein glimmered only
two or three yellow Goals
Comfort demanded that the fire be
replenished, but Jones hated to crawl
out from under his blankets shelter.
If Smith, now, were awake he, too,
would feel the cold, and then would he
not, perhaps, leap up and throw on
fuel?
Zones, though a good deal ashamed
of himself, nevertheless kicked
Smith
"A snore.
Another kick.
Another snore.
"a most tremendous kick and
Smith, opening a pair of very wake
full eyes, chuckled.
"I kicked you five minutes ago.

The late Daniel S. Lamont was born

do anything for the boy, but he put

'"This talk of -de1icacy and gentle,

HE said there was once a poor
young chap in our town who fell head
over heels in love with farm girl.
The young chaps love-making was
very seriously conducted Sometimes
it seemed successful and he was gay.
Then it would seem rather hopeless
and he would get a fit of the blues.
