AMAZING MEDICAL
TEST BY EDITOR BOX
OF 5000 Prescriptions Written by
Eminent Philadelphia Doctors ~
Per Cent. Called For Proprietary
Medicines"

Edward Box, editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal, which was first in the
field in attacks on patent" medi-
cines, and who paid one manufacture
er more than $4,000 damages and
costs for false statements concerning
a well-known remedy, recently ap-
peared before the Philadelphia
branch of the American Pharmaceu-
tical Association. In a discussion
Mr.. Box stated that, on a basis of
5000 prescriptions examined, many
Of them written by eminent doctors,
forty-seven per cent. called for PRO
prietary medicines OF unknown COM
position" This is pretty conclusive
evidence that practically one-half Of
the prescriptions. written by eminent
physicians In Mr.. Pok's own town
are for patent" medicines, which
could just as well have been pur-
chased by the user without paying
from 81 to IS for a Latin prescrip-
tion for them, but which are pre-
scribed for the reason that they are
the best remedies known to medical
science. Mr.. Box did not state how
many of the ifty-three per cent. that
we're not for patent" medicines
called for such drugs as quinine and
EPSON salts.
