A WORD AS TO MEDICINE.
Danger In Taking Drugs Not Pre-.
scrlbed for the User.

IL is very common thing among
women that they will take medicine
which is recommended by friends and
also give It to their children without
investigating its formula.
They Will have prescriptions refilled
which another woman's physician has
recommended for her particular case,
or take up what remains in her bot
tie.
This is most dangerous practice,
and should not be continued. If ply
sician has written n prescription for
his patient, he understands her partic-
ular case and is not prescribing for
anyone else who wishes to take It,
He may not only give her medicine
for what he thinks she needs, but may
give her drugs which she needs and
knows nothing about.
II may be something TO strengthen
the heart or other organ of the body,
some drug which would be very harm
ful to another person; or opiates may
be in the formula which would have
an entirely different and disastrous eff
feet upon another constitution.
IL is a very dangerous practice for
yourself, but in all common sense do
not give such things to your children
If your child is sick and you do not
understand what to do call a physi-
clan and let him prescribe in the right
way, even If it does cost more money
BY this 1t does not mean that the
doctor has to be called for every small
ailment of the child, but If the child
is really sick you will know It, Do not
risk the child's health by giving 1t
things which you do not understand
and which may be poisonous to it. You
are running a terrible risk by doing It..

which was rendered him by the DEM

friends of Mr. Slater have been urg-

as that party's choice for the office
or else a petition must be circulated.
There is little doubt but that in view
of Mr.. Carter's declination the COM

The disaster was caused by the acci-

magazine. The entire magazine blew
up before the boats could be manned
