Dear Doctor -
Complaint has been made to this
Board about some doctors in Bridgeton
who are making practice of furnish
ing prescriptions for whiskey on Sun
day Unfortunately, thereby facilitat-
ing the purchase of the same by those
habitually accustomed to the use of the
same, this being done for small remun-
Grafton and some instances gratuitously.
This is contrary to the laws Of the
State and degrading to the profession.
l am sorry to learn that any member
of the noble profession should stoop so
low
After consultation with the authori-
ties we then determined first to send
out this warning to every physician.
Ii you are one of the persons so
guilty, either habitually.. or inadver-
tently SO, we hope that you may realize
the seriousness of the act. If you are
not, we hope that you will lend your
aid with Sitting out of those who are
Nio6i oS1Ai6 tl1C EIOloSSlOu.
Charges will be preferred and those
detected in the act will be cited to
appear before the Medical Board to
show cause why their license should
not be revoked. This method is re-
sorted to believing those resorting to
this practice are SO degraded that a
nne and imprisonment would not deter
them, when the fact of their license
being revoked might do so.
Sincerely yours,
JNO. Fl. BENNETT, MD.
Secretary.
The reputable physicians of Bridge
ton have been well aware of the indis-
crlmlnate giving of whiskey prescrip-
IONS and have keenly felt the disgrace
Ol the results coming from the practice
Snd S1 welcome the action taken by the
sS1 Ssate Board of Medical Examiners.

wheels. During the suspension OF the
mines, and while the mine tracks
were full OF empty cars, some mis-.
creant robbed a great many Of the
cars OF brasses, and when loaded and
pulled to the coal yards, these cars
ran hot, running the wheels. To
substitute new wheels, the labor
alone will cost the railway company
in the neighborhood Of $65. THE

a pretty severe loss, and II the guilty

Offering free groceries, but the peo-

pleas. What Missouri needs ia a
governor big enough and broad

can do this with dignity befitting
