Habit. Forming Agents

From the Farmers Bulletin issued
by the Department OF Agriculture,
We clip the following by l.. +. Kcbler,
Chief Division of Drugs, Bureau OF
Chemistry, relative to consumption
cures:
The exploiting of so-called CON
sumption cures has apparently always
been an inviting field t. Quacks.
Promoters of these remedies are law
ish in advertising themi IS positive
ind infalliblc cures. Fro'I the ma
lure of the disease and the general in
formation available to the public, it
IS only natural that persons SO atllict-
ID should grasp at the last straw.
These remedies as Il rule contain one
pr more of the habit-formIng agents,
The action of which is to benumb the
>ensibilitics and thus make coughing
md some of the other symptoms less
prominent and distressing, leading
rhe victim to the belief that the med
cine is actually bringing about the
result claimed. The ravages Of the
disease are, however, neither checked
IF abated in spite Of the fact the pa
tent appears to feel better. On the
contrary, the poisonous secretions. ill.,
stead of being expectOrated, are alb
>orbed, thus increasing the puisOns,
or, as they are commonly called, tOx-
ms, In the body. The most disastrous
faature of the scheme is that the un
lprtunate sufferer Is robbed OF valua-
Die time which could be utilized to ad
vlntage in restoring his strength and
nealth. 1t is we'll known that If
reatment is begun early the disease
rln be arrested, but not by using
these worthless and deceptive nos
trums. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars are spent annually in a cam
paign OF education and in the treat
ment of this disease, and it is of the
utmost Importance to get control of
the cases early, as there is little hope
in the advanced stages. Some of
the well-knOwn remedies of this class
ire the following: 'PisO's Cure, Il
Rcmedy for Coughs and Colds" for
merly known as "PiSu's Cure for Con
sumption" (cannabis indica and chlur-
,fnrm); "ShilOh's Cure" formerly
known as "ShilUh's Cure for COnsump-
rion," DR.. Brutus Shiloh (hcroin and
chloroform): "Prof. Hof'S COnsump-
tion Cure (opium); "Yonkermans'
Consumption Cure" called "Tubercu-
(nzyne" (heroin), and "Goucis Mexi-
can Consumption Cure" (morphin sui
phate.)

This Day in History

Just forty-'leyen years ago Bill Pat.
terson was lying low. The day wa'
sunny, calm and warm; up come, a
tiend in human form, and jolted Y8ill
upon the jaw, the hardest lick you
ever saw. Old Bill into IA ditch Ca
recncd; then disappeared that human
tiend. And searching parties took the
trail: they skirmished over hill and
vale, but never did they find the
skate who swatted Bill upon the pate.
The years relied on. not being tied;
and folks w7re born and others died.
and towns were built and towns de-
cayed, and monarchs saw their power
fade: that query was unanswered
still: "Who was the tlcnd that jolted
Bill ~ And all the people ever knew
was this: "The cops have got clcw."
Old Bill is dead, and DER his grave the
>andDurs and the jimson wave, and
DER his martyred marble brow, pa
rades the vagrant village cow.
Who was 1t smOte him such clip?
Who was it whacked him thigh
and hip? Noanswer, through the voice
less years, shall ever reach our wait
ing ears: but this we know, that Bill
was won't to do Il cg'lar daily stunt at
knocking on his native town: and so
the man who knocked him down. and
in his hcadpicce made a dent, de-
serves a large bronze mOnumcnt.-

When times are dull and people are
not advertising. says John Wanamak-
or, Is the very time that advertising
should be heaviest. Such Is the ad-
vice given by Americas merchant
prince. Some traders say 1t does not
pay to advertise. They think they
know more than Wanamakcr. That's
where they make big mistake.
Wanamaker's advertising has made
him rich and famous. Wananiaker's
methods on smaller scale would be
as good here as in New York or Phila
delphia. Turn over new leaf and
advertise.

"Uncle Charles of Charlestown,' and
Mile. Minnie Amato and her company
of French artists in "The Slums OF
PARIS" a sensational pantomimic
French novelty, are the two big mum
bers on the program at the Garrick
Theatre this week. That both have
made good cannot be questioned. The
Mccain act is a rather pretentious
bit of comedy. and aside from its sew
eral good features It teaches a little
moral at the finish which is sure to
make its impress upon a great many
persons. "The Slums Of Paris" is one
of those French importations that has
proved a winner on this side. Il Of
fers some elaborate scenic effects and
employs cast of twenty or more
people. Flo Irwin, the star, in a
duoiogue with Sidney Broughton ia
