PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans-
 lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy with which the doctor hedges about his profession?
 Professional etiquette" occupies a prominent place in the curriculum of every medical school, and when strict ly analysed professional etiquette" seems to mean doing what is best for the doctor, individually and col lectively."
 Among the things that "is best for the doctor" is the writing of his pre- scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping the public in ignorance not only of what it is taking for it's ills, but fore ing a call upon the doctor each time prescription is needed.
 In plain and unmistakable English the writing of prescriptions in Latin makes business for the doctors.
 Let us say that you have the ague. You had it last year and the year be- fore. Each time you have visited the doctor and he has prescribed for you in Latin. You have never known what he has given you for the disease,
 
 to him again and give him an oppor- tunity to repeat his prescription-in Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
 If you ask the doctor why he uses Latin in writing his prescriptions, why he writes aqua" when he means wa ter, he will give you a technical dis sertation on the purity of the Latin Ia ha haf al are derived from it. etc. It will be a dissertation that you may not be able to answer, but it will hardly convince you.
 .s It would be good thing for the pub lie to devise little code of ethics of s;ts own; ethics that will be "a good thing for the public individually and #collectively."
 Let us apply one of the rules of this code of ethics to you. the individual. You call in the physician when you have the ague, the grippe, or any of the other ills to which human flesh is heir, and which you may have again some day. The doctor prescribes-in Latin, and you take this, to you, mean lnRleSS SCTlDDle tO tue uIuSSlSL lo have it compounded. Right here is where you come in, if you are wise. Say to the druggist that you want a translation of that prescription. It is your privilege to know what you are taking. While the doctors code of ethics may not recognize this right it Is yours just the same.
 With the translated prescription in your possession you have two distinct advantages. You know what you are taking, and should you wish to call some other doctor at some time you will be able to tell him what drugs you have been putting into your system, and also if you should have the same disease again you can save yourself a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by taking this translated prescription to the druggist once more and having 1t rpfilled

CASTRO RETURNS In
IMPROVED HEALTH
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LINE
STREET OF CARACAS TO GREET
PRESIDENT AND GIVE HIM AN
OVATION.

Caracas, Venezuela, by way of Willem-
stad, Island of Curacao, March 16.--Pres-
dent Castro, finding the air of Macuta
growing hot, returned to Caracas today,
giving evidence of wonderful improve
ment in health.
A bed had been placed In a special car,
but the president refused TO occupy it,,
and sat up during the two hours trip,
gazing at the mountain scenery. When
the train arrived here thousands of peo-
pie lined the streets and a regiment of
troops guarded the railroad station. Pres
ident Castro walked unassisted from the
train TO his carriage strolling the
platform for a few moments before en-
tering the vehicle with his sister. A
presidential salute was fired by battery
of artillery.
The presidents enjoyment of the sun
and music and of his return to public
life was shown plainly in his bright eyes
as be answered the cheering with which
his appearance was greeted by repeatedly
raising his hat, but his face was paid
and his grey tweed suit hung loosely on
his shrunken frame.
The progress of President Castro from
the station to the villa Ignacio was one
of continuous ovation. Vice President
Gomez welcomed the president the
threshold OF the villa and they chatted
together for an hour, when Castro be-
coming tired went to bed.
