PRESCRIPTIONS.
Medical Explanation OF why They
Are Written In Latin.

N H8GNAMGSaA kI1RAAmANN0m OF why 'Em@Y
Are Written In Latin.
The use of Latin by physicians III
prescription writing Is commonly re-
garded as a harmless survival OF
mediinvalism. Occasionally n lay writer
suggests It's abandonment. In com.
menting on recent note to this effect
In daily paper, which advocates the
compulsory use Of English in prescrip-
lions, the Druggists Circular and
Chemical Gazette takes occasion to
make q strong defense of the time
honored practice. Says this paper:
Suppose the saplent writer quoted
whose utterances may sound all right
10 those who know no more Of his sub
Jects than he does, should fall sick and
his physician should decide that the
one thing needful to save his life was
Geranlum robertlanum. If there were
law preventing the doctor from pre-
seribing in Latin he would have to
choose one Of the upward Of a dozen
English names for this drug. Suppose
he chose 'redshanks' and SO wrote the
word In his prescription. When the
druggist went to prepare the medicine
he would find that 'redshanks' was the
English name OF at least four entirely
different plants-namely, the one al
ready mentioned, Polygonlum am
phibium, Polygonlum persitllria and
Rumex acetosa
"As with redshanks 50 with hundreds
Of other drugs. Aaron's beard may be
Cotinus continus, Cymhalaria Gym

snakeroots there are numherless kinds.
Suppose the English writing doctor
wanted to be sure Of getting the right
kind, so specified black snakeroot.

The school funds of tbs state are in
a remarkably healthy condition. On
Jan. l the total amount was $4,67O,-

estate, to counties or municipalities,
or stood to the credit of the state in

is drawing and G per cent interest,
which income goes directly into the
school funds of the different counties
for the use of the schools.
Up to four years ago the whole
amount drew per cent, but the rate
was reduced to 5 per cent, and since
that time a sum of 100000 has
been placed at the new rate, much of
it being money paid on the old 6 per
cent loans and rebated at the reduced
rate. The balance is still in the 6
per cent list either as old loans at
