eat apples just before retiring for the

AMAZING MEDICAL 4.
TEST BY EDITOR BOX.
OF 5000 Prescriptions Written by
Eminent Philadelphia Doctors az
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 manufactur-
er more than $4,000 damages and
costs for false statements concerning
well-known remedy, recently APP
peared before the Philadelphia
branch of the American Pharmaceu-
tical Association. In a discussion
Mr.. Box stated that, on 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.. Bok's own town
are for patent" medicines, which
could just as well have been pur-
chased by the user without paying
from 81 to SIS for a Latin prescrip-
ton 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 fifty-three per cent. that
were not for patent" medicines
called for such drugs as quinine and
Epson salts.

Simple as is the definition of gamb-
ling, the explanation of why so many
people gamble is difficult moralizes
the New York World. Few people
gamble to make money The sordid
gambler sits not on the public side
CT the table, but runs the game. He
counts on the mathematical percent
ages in his favor. The man who bets
on horse races simply to make money
gets job working for bookmaker
and blossoms out into bookmaker
himself. The cold-blooded, avaricious
Wall street man starts in a brokers'
office, not as a customer. The most
likely explanation of the popularity of
gambling is the excitement of it, the
mental effects; not the belief that it
is profitable but the uncertainty of it's
results.

those who are civilized, see in the
wooden effigy of an ideal type Of their

pride, and they are as much opposed
to it as some of our citizens are to
the stage Irishman. But, whatever
