essary evidence against Aliens club The affair
was shifted to the shoulders of the District At
torney when it found that there were five
old indictments against him for gambling. 1t was
eventually put up to Colonel Gardiner, who was
then prosecuting officer OF the county. He was
asked to try Allen of these indictments, to
get him off the hands of the police The plea of
the Police Board TO the District Attorney was in
realty something like this: Please, Colonel Gar
diner, send The Allen to Jail one of those old
indictments. because we can't do anything with
him" But the colonel never took any action.

uors Proprietary Medicines.

There was a furry in the Kings County Pharma-
ceutical Society when A member announced at yes
terdav afternoons meeting that the National Asso-
citation of Retail Druggists had sent from the
headquarters in Chicago samples Of a booklet for
distribution among the physicians of New York
CITY which opposes in several important particulars
the views of the Brooklyn society. The chief OBJ
lection to is that 1T prefers number of propri
etary medicines to preparations described in the
United States Pharmacop9ia and National For
muiary.
For several years the druggists of Brooklv--
as in all other parts of New York City nave
been doing their best to down the proprietary
medicines The society has been distributing tera-
tlIre among the physicians. setting forth the ad-
vantases which they would derive In prescribing
the standard formulas insteaI of the secretly made
preparations of the patent medicine concerns
The booklets were sent with the idea of inter
esting the druggists in them that they would
order copies for distribution among their medical
patrons There is belief that the National So
ciety has undertaken a campaign counteract
the effects of the propaganda of the local drug
glsts. AS the Kings County organization has no
direct connection with the national organization
