Straight Talks on
Patent Medicines

Some three years ago a number of
prominent retail druggists realizing
that big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gradients were Of the preparations they
were advertising, and that a general
reform was about to take place in pro-
prietary medicine manufacturing and adj
vertising, formed a cooperative COM
pany to meet the public S demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Company, Of which the undersigned
is one Of the thousand members.
Our object was, FIRST, to manufacture
a line of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found TO give
the very best of results, and second. bv
owning our own cooperative manuiac-
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula Of every prepar-
alton we were selling, thus enabling us
to give to the public the very best REM
edies we could find at actual manufac-
turing cost, plus a single retail profit
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany TO escape the heavy charges for
advertising and other expenses such as
have TO be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most Important, it insures
safety and satisfaction TO our customers,
because we druggists know just what
we are selling.
A committee of experts was ap-
pointed who spent long time in testing
the merits Of more than two thousand
formulas and prescriptions recommend

ed by the various druggists constituting
the company.
From these, about ftDo hundred
were selected as being the best renee
dies kRoOn TO medical science for
the cure, each Of its particular ailment.
The exclusive rights to these remedies
were then transferred to The United
Drug Company, which has since manu-
featured them in its superbly equipped
laboratories in Boston under the now
famous name Of The Rexall Remedies.
Note then, FIRST Of ell, these facts;
lst. "Rexal" refers, not to one rem
edy but to about fLD0 hundred
each for some one particular purpose.
Nobody knows better than The
United Drug Company druggists the
aosurdity Of the cure-all."

Tor its conspicuous merit from many

by physicians before they became

Of being advertised separately, &c
formerly.
The United Drug Company, which
manufactures the Rexall Remedies, has
already scored the greatest success
ever known in the history Of the drug
business.

BABIES IN ARABIA.
Their Charms and Perfumes and the
Shaving of Heads.

Their Charms and Perfumes and the
Shaving of Heads.
Life has exceptional difficulties for
the babies of Arabia, especially for
those who are of sufficiently high rank
to be brought up according to all the
ancient customs of their race. A royal
baby's first toilet there consists in
winding a bandage about it's body aft
er it has been carefully bathed and per-
fumed
If the child be a girl, on the seventh
day of her birth, holes, usually six in
number, are pricked in her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
rings are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime except during
periods Of mourning for relatives. On
the fortieth day the baby's head is
shaved, and the disposal Of the hair is
regarded as very weighty matter. 1t
must not be burned or carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
the sea or hidden away.
The fortieth day marks turning point
in the child's life. Heretofore it has
only been seen by few, but now it may
be seen by anybody and Is regarded as
fairly launched on the tide of existence.
Several charms are attached to it's body
for protection against the "evil eye"
Everything the child uses is perfumed
and covered at night with Jasmine
and before 1t Is used fumigated with
amber and musk and sprinkled with
altar Of roses.

UNDER A HAY6TACK.
The Scene of Famous and EventSaI
Prayer Meeting.


The most famous prayer meeting ever
convened in this country was held in
the summer OF 1906 OH the grounds of
a farmer adjacent to Williams college,
Williamstown, Mass, says Leslie's
Weekly. 1t was held by five students.
They were querying what they could
do for the benefit of mankind A thun-
derstorm occurred, and they took ref
uge under hayStach all continued
the meeting. Seemingly the students
alone for the time being knew of the
meeting. For years the place was I'M
marked and the event announcements
ed. But those students originated the
foreign missionary movement in this
country for the benefit of all lands and
peoples. Subsequently Williams college
acquired the property, named it Mis-
sion park and erected a monument
commemorative of the great result. 1t
consists of q shaft of granite twelve
feet in height, bearing q globe three
feet in diameter, representing the
world The legend on the shaft is,
1.-THE Birthplace of American Foreign
Missions" Underneath are the names
of five students who had a part in the
meeting-Samuel J. Mills, James R:th-
ards, Francis L. Robbins, Harvey Loo
mis- and Byram Green. This memorial
Is an object of interest to every visitor
to Williamstown, and at every com
mencement religious service is held
beside it.

SPEED OF ANIMALS.

The Greyhound Leads. Followed Wy
the Horse and the led Deer.
The following interesting letter con
corning the relative speed of animals
appeared in the London Field:
The fastest animal we have is the
greyhound. The next are the race
horse, the red deer and the hare, and
then comes the good, Big, bold dog
fox, which is a fine galloper on good
going. In comparison with any of
the above the fastest foxhound on
sound fat turf is as slow as a man
moving grass for haymaking. But If
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good. For instance,
on rough clods, whether melted or not,
a hare cannot run at all; hence she gen.
orally takes care not to go there, and
where greyhounds are kept she habitu-
ally lies in her form near the fringe Of
q rough fallow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long, powerful hind legs a hare
can beat anything up steep hill. A
foXhOund can easily beat any horse
over deep clay pillow, because the horsG
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter though the horse may not
be faster, but great consideration must
be made for the discretion of good
horseman, who avoids exhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
