gist and who Is in position to see the
evil of the matter, called attention to
the careless manner in which patent
medicine advertisers scatter samples
of their products in the yards and
piazzas of the city where children
can get at them. The children, as
everybody knows, are always the
first to find such things and they fire.
quently establish a drug store, play
being a doctor, or something or the
kind, and when the drug samples are
pernicious one can readily see the
danger of this practice. Within the
past week samples Of a certain head
ache cure" have been scattered pro-
miscuously over town and 1t came
within the writers province to rescue
three Of these powders from the
hands of innocents who were gloat-
ing over the find and were preparing
to utilize it. A stringent law should
govern the distribution Of drug sam
pies.
