A RIGHTEOUS CRUSADE.
War Waged Against the Sale of I'm
pure and Dangerous Patent Nostrums
and Medicines.

Among the encouraging signs of the
times is the almost concerted action taker
by the legislatures in a majority OF states
in the union against all patent medicines
and nostrums containing worthless and
deleterious compounds and ingredients
calculated to do injury to life and health
and which, instead Of relieving or curing
the patient, not infrequently innict UNI
told misery and suffering upon the com
munity.
This righteous crusade against the
quacks and charlatans who have enriched
themselves at the expense OF a too confid-
ing public cannot be too highly com
mended and the movement will be hailed
with pleasure by thinking men and women
throughout the land.
Incidentally. II Is interesting to note that
the laws passed in the United States are
framed to. great extent after the meas.
ures adopted In Germany. where the most
stringent and vigorous laws have been en-
acted against the sale OF patent medi-
cines containing Injurious or nox-
ious drugs, and which require thai
all proprietary medicines must be anal
wed by national board of pharmacists
before they are offered for sale.
In this connection thousands of suf.
ferers from kidney and liver diseases will
rejoice to hear of the analysis recently
made by the German board of Warner.
Safe Cure, which was subjected to the
most crucial test, and 1t is today the
only kidney and liver cure permitted tc
be sold in the German empire.
AS result of this test the board found
Warmers Safe Cure to be an absolutely
pure vegetable compound. and no higher
praise of its valuable medicinal proper
ties could possibly be had than the tribute
paid by these eminent chemists.
In addition to this foreign mark of con-
fdence and approval. each package OF
Warmers Safe Cure bears the certificate
of a distinguished analyst of the New
York state board of health with the words
entirely free from all poisonous and dele
terous substances."s
OF verify. the action taken by both our
own and foreign countries is a fattering
compliment to the wonderful curative
value Of this great American kidney and
liver cure. and since purity and worth
are demanded and needed In medicines.
these assurances will be hailed with glad
ness by all sufferers from kidney and
liver diseases, as well as by the multi
tude who have been cured, and are living
witnesses of the excellence Of this great
medicine and Its marvellous healing
power. ss'

HITS old PARTIES
Cannot New Get Men on Ticket
in Towns Where Primaries
Were Neglected.
OPINION ATTORNEY GENERAL
Independents Also Barred But Citizens
Ticket Is Likely to Be Upheld
By Supreme Court.

a dispatch from Springfield conveys
news of ii remarkable opinion given by
the attorney general regarding the new
primary law. 1t appears that a large
portion of the smaller towns failed to
hold primary elections as provided for
under the law, and the attorney general
is flooded with letters asking how the
candidates are to be given places on
the ticket.
Old Parties Barred.
To these a uniform reply has been
prepared stating that in the opinion OF
the attorney general it will not be pos
sible TO present to the voters of these
places the nominees of the republican,
democratic or Independent tickets. The
law Is very plain on the matter of hold
ing primaries and as this was neglect
ed they cannot now be installed. On
the other hand says the opinion. 4 citi-
zens' ticket will likely be upheld by the
supreme court and it is the only ticket
that can be put upon the ballot by
petition in cases of this kind.
The opinion created sensation in
Springfield, as it also undoubtedly did
in the towns affected. According to re-
ports there are perhaps 100 towns in
the state where no primaries were
held. and the opinion of today applies
to each of these.
