HONESTY IN DRUG MAKING
Pe1plsxitieS Of the Doctor in Formulating a
Prescription.
GREAT VARIETY AND OUTPUT OF MEDICINE
Manufacture Unrestricted and with
ont OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is
Wholly on the Integrity
of the Maker.

The anomaly of law and custom which
requires of doctors and pharmacists GER
tain qualifications determined by exami-
nations for the practice of their profes-
sion while the maker of the drugs which
the former prescribes and the latter COM
pounds is free from all restrictions, is
instructively discussed in Harper's mag
azine by Robert X. Duncan, professor of
Industrial chemistry in the University OF
Kansas. AS pure food is essential to
health, 1t is even more important that the
means OF restoring health should be pure
and possess the qualities claimed. Prof
Duncan says in part:
THE 10000 physicians in America do not
make the medicines with which they dose
their patients-they prescribe. The S5,OOC
pharmacists who al the million and more
prescriptions with which they are con-
fronted every day do not make these med,
icines either-they dispense. These medi-
cines are all either made or gathered by
Industrial organizations known as manu-
faCtureTs OF pharmaceutical preparations;
every ounce of medicine swallowed by
every patient in America comes practically
from some such shop. Now, the physician
must undergo a most arduOus training be-
fore he is permitted TO prescribe; the drug
gist must undergo a training equally
arduous before he may dispense, but the
manufacturer of the substances which the
physician prescribes and the druggist dis
penses needs only hang out his sign" no
professional training or educational quail
hcation is deemed legally necessary for the
manufacture of drugs
Now, man has heedfully viewed about
him the infinite number of things, crea-
lures, plants and metals, and out Of them
he is compromising or extracting a bewil-
derng number of substances Of alleged
therapeutic value. In one list of the
newer remedies arranged under their trade
names there are presented under the
single letter A, from Abrastol TO Azurin,
no less than AIS separate titles. The de-
termination Of the fun physiological prop
critics Of these numberless substances is so
difficult and so limited I'm its possibilities,
their methods OF preparation are, for the
most part necessarily so elaborate, and
they are often so deadly through any mis-
chance Of preparation that IL Is a nerv-
Gus business, even the bare thought that
# is possible that the manufacture OF
such things may be IN the hands OF people
employing ignorant or inadequate methods
or who are actuated solely by the hope Of

SICK AND IN FINANCIAL STRAITS
Son of Omaha Pioneer Expected to
Return Home After Wandering

HIS Relief.

Like a voice from the dead, after leaving
his home and family nearly eight years
ago, during which time his aged mother
has died unknown to him, a telegram was
received Saturday morning by the Byron
Reed company from William Scully, son
OF the late Patrick Scully and brother Of
Joe Scully, who was formerly a city health
inspector, stating that he is sick in New
Orleans and in dire need Of financial as
sistance.
With the exception Of one letter, dated
from New Orleans shortly after he left
Omaha, not a word has been received by
members of the family in this city, and
he was given up for dead until the telegram
came Saturday morning
The story Of his sudden departure from
home and his present resurrection read like
a romance, and it is probable that MEM
beers Of the family will leave for New
Orleans Sunday morning TO go to his as
slstance. Money has been telegraphed TO
him and his return 10 Omaha will be typi-
cal Of the biblical story of the prodigal

William Scully was born and raised in
Omaha and is the son Of Patrick and

public schools and obtained employment

PERSONALLY CONDUCTED EXCURSIONS

With the discontinuance OF issuing free
transportation TO the land agents Of the
west the railroads are moved to devise
some other scheme to upbuild the unsettled
portions OF the western states. Some will
work along one line and some another. Tho
passenger department Of the Burlington has
arranged for four personally conducted
land seekers excursions into the Big Horn
basin, the dates Of which are May Z and Il
and June 4 and 49, These will be run on
cheap homeseekers' rates with d. Glen
Beaver, head Of the land-seekers informa-
zion bureau Of the Burlington, in charge
The Burlington will advertise these excur-
sioss most extensively from the Allegheny
mountains to the Missouri river.
The rates will also be good to the Yellow
stone valley, where Is located the Huntley
project, the tract of 5000 acres irrigated
by the government and which will be
thrown open to settlement this summer
according to plans yet to be determined by
the government. This will be, when com
pieted, one OF the most complete tracts
ever thrown open by any government for
settlement as telephones will run TO the
farm houses, which will also be supplied
with electric lights This tract, together
with the other large areas along the Big

Bill McCune'H Dogs.
Colonel William McCune western agent
~ the Buffalo Bill Wild West show. passed
through Missouri Valley Friday en- route to
New York with his hundred Indians, in
eluding bucks and squaws and children.
George West Of the Northwestern and
Harry Moores Of the Wabash accompanied
Mr.. McCune to assist in looking after the
indians.
''McCune had the worst looking bunch
OF dogs ever saw in my life" said George
West, when he returned Saturday. Il have
seen a lot OF ours running loose, but that
bunch OF Indian dogs took the cake. They
were lean and lank and scurvy and ought
surely to attract attention with the show,
n for nothing more than their homelness."

territory Of the Denver e. Rio Grande, was
in Omaha Saturday arranging for the

expected over all the western railroads.
