Her Faith In Drugs.

Faith in drugs was the subject nm
der discussion when an elderly physi-
clan who had spoken against the prac-
tice of dosing by laymen told this
story: II had patient once who COM
planned Of pains In her right arm. She
was otherwise well and strong and
looked upon the little ache as nothing
serious. Weeks after she had been to
see me she met me and said that she
used the linlment I gave her on her
bad arm every night and that when
she did not use 1t she could not sleep.
One night she retired before making
the application. but reached from her
bed to the table. got her liniment bot
tie, gave her arm good rubbing and
felt better for 1t and went, to sleep.
When she awOke the next morning she
discovered that she had grabbed the
wrong bottle and had applied copious
doses of black Ink. 1t did her as much
good AZ my linlment." New York
