Risks in Patent Medicines.

It must be frankly recognized in
considering patent medicines that,
broadly and philosophically speaking,
two risks have to be taken with all
of them: the risk that the medicine,
though a useful remedy in this dis
ease, may not fit your particular
case or stage of it; and the further
risk that you may not have the dis
ease you think you have, in which
case, of course, the poor medicine will
be hopeless misfit.
Bearing these facts in mind, it is
obviously only the course of prudence
and good sense to avoid all powerful
or drastic remedies of this class, such
as, if they do not do good, have the
power to do harm. Remedies, there
fore, which are advertised to cure
Immediately, like magic" lover
ight" that are guaranteed to cure
every case or money refunded; that
have never been known to fail"
etc., are good things to let alone,
even if you give credence to their
claims. Usually, as a matter OF fact,
the claim of these "sure cure" RENE
dies are based on one Of two things:
prevarications, or some narcotic,
most commonly opium or alcohol.
There is also another universal
source of risk which it is only fair
to mention, and this is the impossi-
bility of knowing what you are TAX
ing. The vast majority of so-called
patent medicines have nothing that
is paten' ID about them except the
name or trademark. Really to patent
a remedy it would be necessary to
disclose it's ingredients and to prove
that they have never before been
used for the cure of this disease; and
this. for obvious reasons, is the last
thing that the proprietors of these
remedies would think of doing. The
composition of the remedy is their
most valued secret, which naturally
they guard with most jealous care,
and it is inevitable in the very ma
ture of the case that any one who
takes a dose of it is taking it in the
dark. If he chooses to run that risk,
It is one of his inalienable rights and
privileges; but let him remember
that-to paraphrase Voltaire is
taking a drug of which he knows
nothing for a disease of which he
often knows less, for his guess at its
nature may be entirely wrong.
Not even an analysis Of the remedy
by a government chemist will help
him. because the rigid secrecy as to it's
composition, which is maintained for
commercial reasons, enables the
manufacturers to change the formula
at any time, according to the changes
in the prices of the different drugs,
or the denunciation of one or other
of them as injurious. Some we'll
known patent medicines in the
United States have changed their
formulas three or four times within
the last five or six years.-Woods

Clemson Extension Work-Glanders'

IL
or if any of your animals are sick
or dying with what appears to be
contagious disease, it is your prlvl-
lege and duty to notify the veteri-
marian at Clemson College who will
visit your place without expense to
you.
Chambers is caused by a specific
germ (bacillus mallei) and affects
horses, asses and mules. The goat,
cat and dog sometimes contract the
disease from living in stables with
glandered animals. Pigs may con-
tract the disease by incubation. Cat
tie and chickens are immune. The
disease attacks the mucous membrane
of the nose and extends to the wind
pipe and lungs. When the lymphatlc
glands of the surface of the body are
affected, the disease is known as
farcy. The disease is transmitted to
other animals, including man, by IN
ocriation through wounds or mucous
membranes. There are other ways
in which animals may be attected,
such as common drinking troughs,
feed boxes, manger, hitch racks, har-
ness and any equipment used around
an infected stable.
SYMPTOMS: Chambers may occur
in the acute or chronic form, or may
attack the surface of the body in the
form of farcy. The acute form OF
glanders begins with Chill, hlgn
fever, the mucous membrane of the
nose is at first hot and dry, and soon
there is a watery discharge, which
later becomes bloody. Nodules and
ulcers form on the mucous membrane
of the nose and discharge pus. These
changes in the nose may take place
in two or three days. The patients
become very weak and rapidly lose
flesh.
The first symptoms of chronic
glanders are not easily recognized
owing to the absence of distinct
SYMPTOMS in the first stages OF the
disease. First you will notice wa
terry discharge from one or both nos
trils, which later on becomes sticky
and of a yellowish green colored pus
mixed with blood coming from ulcers
on the inside of the nose.
When glanders affects the skln' IL
is called farcy. One of the main
SYMPTOMS may be the swelling or the
Joint with engagement of the limb
and nodules may form along the line
of the lymphatics. These nodules
vary in size from pea to hens egg
and have a tendency to soften and
discharge pus, after which they heal
RAPIDLY. Other nodules may form
following the same course as the pre-
vious ones.
Prevention: All glandered anil
mails should be Immediately de-
stroyed, and not allowed to come IN
contact with healthy animals through
stables, common drinking troughs,
harness or any other stable equip
ment. All suspicious animals should
he isolated until examined by a
competent veterinarian. Infected
buildings should be thoroughly dis
infected with five per cent. carbollc
acid solution or a one to five hundred
corrosive sublimate solution. Then
all wood work should be white
washed.
In doubtful cases of glanders, the
mallein test is given. Thls test
should only be given by a qualified
veterinarian and until it is determln-
ed whether a suspicious case is or IS
not glanders, the animal should be
kept apart from all other animals
Remember that the disease is oc-
casionally transmitted to the human
and is incurable in man or beast.

THE WAR ON DOlLIVER.

The Register and Leader announces
that Senator Cummins will take part
in the campaign to be waged against
Congressman Hull and Smith and that
Dolliver has been forced TO line
up against them. Why this insinua-
tion against the senior senator, this
unfair discrimination. this effort to
rob him of all the spontaneity Of
his well doing ? Cummins is pictur-
ed as the dauntless knight. the brave
Quixote, lending Sancho Deliver to
the charge by halter. If Dolliver
is being forced, who and what is doing
it? Is il his high sense Of public or
Of personal welfare? After all that
Dolliver has done for insurgency, sup
plying real brains where they were
badly needed. it seems to US that the
r. and L. is ungrateful and unkind.

SCATTERING OUR FRI.

May we be pardoneds il we 90
against the general current and affirm
our belief that the country has gone
conservation mad. Especially is this
the case az regards the Improvement
of our waterways. From an engin-
eering standpoint the Des Moines
river could doubtless be made navig-
able, so could the Boyer for that mat
ter-but as business proposition
will it pay? Is there enough traffic.
and would there be enough traffic in
the next fifty years to pay one-half
of one per cent on the investment?
1t is true that smaller rivers than the
Des Moines are utilized in Germany
and other countries, but there is a
village every half mile and q valley
such as the Des Moines. would support
ten times as many people as live along
the shores Of the Iowa river or as will
live along its banks during the next
century.
1t is the same with the development
! = : !
Of power. It is indeed possible that
the waters Of the Boyer might be inn
pounded and excellent power be secur-
ed. So long. however, as there are
scores of places where ten times the
power can be developed at one tenth
the cost, we fear the Boyer will
have to wait until these other power
sites are exhausted.
There are so many things we
need, good roads, improved schools,
we'll directed campaigns against dis
ease. that it seems almost, foolish
to waste our money and scatter our
fire with visionary projects of which
the next century may we'll take care.

Talking about mortgages. in the
days Of Horace Boies, governor Of
Iowa, that worthy man journeyed all
the way to Madison Square Garden
New York. to make . speech in which
he stated that every acre Of corn in
Iowa was grown at loss Of 81 cents
(sixty-seven. count 'em). These
figures were the result Of tabulations.
a great aroan Of distress went up
all over the country. Even Wall
Street was sorry for the farmers.
Societies began to pass resolutions Of
sympathy for the farmers and political
parties began to make promises Of
better things. Mr.. Boies thought
that some measure Of free trade would
solve the question. Give them free
trade and the farmers would be better.
But now we are all talking the
other way and most of the people be-
lieve that the farmers have had too
good time Of it. Now we are
ridiculing the automobile which the
farmer drives and we have forgotten
the mortgage which used to oppress
him. When he was poor we sympath-
lied with him and now that he il sup
posed to be prosperous We want to

IT'S TRUE, It's PITY.

a certain Mr., True. recommended

gresham Kendall. has been appoint
ed by the President over the protest.
it is claimed. Of Major Lacey. In
stead Of finding in this happy trend
towards consultation and harmony
between the President and the Insur-
gents. the Register and Leader, the
mouth-piecs Of Iowa insurgency,
takes occasion to critic,se Mr.. Ken
dali. to impugn his motives and to
imply that for the sake Of loaves and
fishes he has forsaken the high cause
of insurgency. which is to criticise
the republican President on all occas.
ions. The Hon. Nate is accused Of
side stepping the mendacious Snure
and replying that he had nothing to
say when asked to criticise the Presi-
dents New York speech. Here was
9 chance to fay the President and to
promote the general welfare Of the
republican party BY denounci 6 it.
and Tie Hon. Nate side-stepped. The
Oskaloosa appointment following SO
shortly gave sufficient proof Of treach-
cry to the Iowa organ.
The truth is that the Register and
Leader has become common scold,
. veritable harridan: suspicious,
glibellous. scurillous. Its distorted
vision can see no good in any man,
save Cummins. and in private it
scores Cummins most numerically.
The Register has put itself into this
unfortunate frame of mind by con-
sistent course of denunciation and
abuse of everybody and everything.
The most unfortunate part is that it
has been able to poison many minds
It has darkened the sunlight Of PROS
