USED ~ THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent Of the Drugs Pre-
seribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition Of physicians.
especially Of those whose experiences
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable. 10 patent medicines. nine
y per cent Of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
By manufacturing concorns.-are. in
fact. patent medicines just as truly
as II they were advertised In the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing OF pharmacy and Is. there
fore. glad % depend on the very medi-
cines. which Ia public he condemns.
Just as he is Obliged IN many cases
to depend on the diagnosis OF the pa
liont himself. even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "sclfdiasuosis."
How rapid has been the growth OF tho
professional use OF patent" or pro
prietary" medicines Is shown In an
article written for the Journal OF the
American Medical Association for
September 20. 1906. by A. Jacob. NJ.
d.. IL. ID. lie relates that 90 900 pre-
scriptions. compounded In several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary
medicines. Ia 1874 but one prescriD-
ton In 1900 called for ready-to-use
remedies. between 1875 and 1850 tho
number calling for patent" or pro
priotary" medicines equallcd two per
cent OF the total. This increased 20
3 per cent in the period between 1850
and 1890. In 1895 Il was ~ per cent,
In 1895 Il was 10 per cent. and In 1902
1908 was from 20 TO 25 per cent.
DR.. Jacob says that In a large
store ne was assured that 20 per cent
OF the prescriptions were for patent
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably Is approximately the correct
proportion az the present time. From
this u would seem that u the patent
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians % prescribe In
seven cases out OF ten they are good
enough for family use In cases OF
necessity and where the symptoms
are well known and as easily under
stood By the people as b. the doc
tors.

Coxey's army are being repeated

With revolvers in evidence, 40
able-bodied hobos held up a freight

The break finally came in the six

tearing in on the bunt, but Nick
fielded the ball and turning to

three runs, which easily won the
game.
Although | happened to be on the
winning end of the game, still it
seemed to me that Nick was pitch
ing by far the better ball, as while
| was on easy street all through, on
account of the fact that the team
behind me was playing a marvellous
fielding game, Altrock was contin-
ually pitching himself out of holes,
gotten into either by himself or
through some error on the part of
the men behind him.
Dusty" Rhoades' pitching to
Seybold in a game against the Ath-
letics at Cleveland one day last
summer was a fine piece of work,
With the bases full, two out,
Socks had Dusty three balls and
two strikes. Rhoades had to put
the ball over the plate, and Sey-
bold, being on the defensive, had
all the best of it.
Dusty, pitching with the same
confidence as though he were 10
runs ahead in the last inning, hand
ed up one of those slow things for
which he is noted. Seybold took
vicious lunge at the bali and hit
nice easy bounder to Turner who
tossed ii to Lajoie, forcing the run
ner at second and retiring the side.
It's pretty tough proposition to
get SOW one over at any time,
but to hand one to a batter under
those conditions take nerve.

Great pitching performances in
these days of low scores are fire.
quent. Still there are some games
uncorked by the fingers that stand
out prominently. and / will try to
tell of few of them.
In order for a pitcher to twirl a
wonderful game it is not necessary
to let the opposing club down with
small number of hits.
OF course, when a pitcher is
holding the opposing club down to
two or three hits in a game, he is
doing something out of the or
binary.
But the real test of a mans abil-
ity is not this keeping opposing
clubs hitless, but rather to have
the other team hit him all during
the contest and still be unable to
score runs.
ANY time pitcher is moving
down the opposing batsmen, in
ming after inning, without their
getting any safe drives, you can
gamble that everything is breaking
Juot ilSIit lol tidl Dut W
the other team has men on bases in
every inning, and he is still able to
prevent them from scoring, then he
is pitching in manner that to the
experienced spectators in the true
art.
ICY" Young's wonderful per-
Torrance against the athletics dur
ing the season of 1905, when he let
that club down without hit and
not one of his opponents reached
first base, will go down in the an
nails of the game as one of the
greatest pitching performances
ever accomplished.
In another game against this
same club, ICY" went through 20
innings without giving base on
balls, and, although defeated by a
score of Alto 2, his work on this
memorable occasion was wonderful
to behold
His opponent this day was that
eccentric southpaw Waddell, The
"Rnbe" was going some himself. as
can be seen by the fact that after
Parent had opened the fourteenth
inning with screaming three-base
drive to the left field bleachers. the

1905 which think was one of the
finest exhibitions of twirling | have
ever seen.
Each club scored a run early in
the game, and from then on untii
the sixteenth and last inning there
was no more scoring.
There never was an inning from
the ninth that we didn't have
man as far as second, where
base hit would have won the
game, In several of the innings we
had men on third sometimes with
two out and couple of times with
hut one man down.
