PRESCRIPTIONS.
Reasons Why They Arc Written Ia
Lat.a ky Physicians.

81 tout sec,' sad the man who
was lragisg asa;n,t the drng store
counter, ''why d doctor can't write
his prescription in English instead
of Latin"
The druggist said: "You think,
suppose, that the doctor writes his
prescriptions in Latin so it can't be
read so easily--so the layman can't
steal his trade and learn what he il
giving him. But that's wrong. In
the first place, Latin is a more exact
and concise language than English
and, being dead language, does not
change, as all living languages do.
"Then, again, since a very large
part Of all the drugs in use are
botanical, they have in the pharma.
eopoe;a the same names that they
have in botany-thc scientific
names. Two-thirds of such drug:
haven't am English names and SC
couldn't be written in English.
But suppose a doctor did write
prescription in English for an un.
educated patient. The patient reads
it, thinks he remembers it, and SC
tries to get it filled from memory
the second time. Suppose, for in.
stance, it calls for iodide of potas.
stun and he gets it confused with
cyanide Of potassium. lie could
safely take ten grains OF the first
but one grain OF the second would
kill him as dead as macGeral
That an exaggerated case, but III
will serve as all Illustration. Don't
you see how the Latin is a protec.
ton and Il safeguard to the patient;
Prescriptions in Latin he can't roat
and consequently doesn't try to re-
member.
Now for iinal reason. Latir

There are welcome signs of reaction against
publicity fer weddings. One is this addendum
to a printed announcement of engagement
from Carlton House Terrace: 1T is the especial
wish of both parties that wedding presents
should be sent" This is a promising opening
for social reform which will restrict present
giving TO relations and intimate friends. prevent
the ostentatlous publication of lists of gifts be-
fore or after a wedding abolish the post-nuptai
tumble sales of worthless remembrances from
acquaintances and dispense with vulgar cadg-
ing methods of attesting the brides popularity
and Importance. Another sign is the marked
preference for privacy shown by sensible bridal
pairs who will not allow their weddings to be
converted into town shows. Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle and Miss Jean Leckie. who We're married
to-day. would not allow the church TO be
named. and the ceremony. which was as pretty
quiet. attended only by relatives
and the closest friends. With the novelist's
brother-in-law TO read the marriage office be-
hind the rail and younger brother, Captain
Doyle to act as best man. with a pair of brides
maids and page closely connected with the
bride. it indeed family wedding: and
while there was -0oequent reception at a
West End hotel the attendance was limited to
intimate friends So popular a novelist might
have had a column ir print about his wedding
but he shrank from the vulgarty of publicity
and preferred to have few acquantances as
possible invited and TO have his marriage pass
without observation. II the brides gown got
into the picture press it was the dressnaker's
doing. The authors prejudice against unseemly
methods OF literary advertising by artists them
selves has caused his own marriage to be treated
as private affair of public Importance A
