The Worst of All Authorizations

From Leslle's Weekly.
Perhaps no species of villainy is more
cruel and reprehensible than the adultera-
ton of drugs used in disease, and which
may murder the invalid they were sup
posed to benefit. 1t is fortunate that the
Washington authorities have taken the
work In hand and have succeeded in I'M
earthing gang of these scoundrels in Chi
cago, by making raids on the places where
bogus drugs were made, confiscating four
patrol-wagon loads of medicine and ar
resting five persons for misusing the mails.
1t Is stated that the evidence upon which
the arrests were made was based upon
chemical analysis made by Dr. Virgil
Coblentz of Columbia University. He found
that kind of triethylate, sold to druggists
as substitute for trional, a sleep-producing
medicine, acted as an irritant instead. This
doctored drug was being disposed of at 2
cents an ounce, while the genuine article
sold for 81. an ounce. An analysis of the
alleged aristol, sold as a substitute for
iodoform, showed that it contained 20 per
cent Of fuller's earth colored with iron rust.

A Lesson to Advertisers.
Col. Mann, In Town Topics.

Soi MauI, III IONu 1oplcs
Thomas w. Lawson teaches business men
a lesson much more important than the
manipulation of the stock market-it is the
tremendous influence of newspaper advar-
Using. Millions of dollars are wasted an
nually by otherwise shrewd business men
in trying to advertise by expensive cir
culars, which are seldom read and never
effective. Mr.. Lawson might have sent
through the mails hundreds of thousands of
copies of his frenzied finance letters, and
no one would have paid the slightest atten-
ton to them. He printed his letters in the
advertising columns of the leading papers
and within a week the whole coun-
try was agog, the stock market was upset,
a record number of shares changed hands,
and a magazine whose previous circulation
was comparatively nil had eager demands
for more copies than could be printed Mr..
Lawson'S advertisements deal with a sem
sational subject, but it has been handled
by other methods without causing any SEN
sation whatever. Tell the public in the
right way. and in the right papers about the
right thing, and 1T will respond prompt
ly and profitably-that is the moral of the
Lawson campaign, and every business man
should take it to heart and pocket.

England's Influenza Epidemic.

From the London Mail.
One bad result of the gloom and wet will
be the increase of the influenza so preva-
lent just now. From all parts of London
come reports Of an increasingly large num-
Der of cases. This years complaint has
some characteristics of its own. 1t comes
on with listlessness of mind and body,
which speedily develops to headache and
tremulous shivers down the spine. On the
next day the patient finds himself in
capacitated from physical or mental work.
Then comes bout of feverishness, and the
sufferer feels bands of iron around his
head. When convalescence arrives the
patient is limp and helpless, and in most
cases has an annoying and persistent
cough. Great care must be taken to avoid
fresh cold and complete rest and cheer
full company are important factors in the
ultimate cure. The late depressing condi-
tions were very bad for convalescents.

search begun for Davis. He had al
most completed his plans to leave, it is
said, and had even gone go far as 10 sell
his home. He has been in the employ
of Armour & Co. for number of years
and is said to be in possession cf valu-

have received repeated warnings that
employees OF the packers have been lnav.
