The Value Of Proprietary Medicines

ne Nalue OF proprietary Medicines
is proven by the very large percent
age of physicians prescriptions for
same remedies found in every drug
store in America. but as they are
written in Latin, few patients realize
this fact.
The old standard proprietary med
icines like Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, that have stood the
test of time, deserve a place in
every family medicine chest, and it
is most certain they would not be
prescribed by physicians if they were
able to devise a formula equally as
efficaceous.

To all progressive farmers and seeds
men
Many thousands of dollars are
lost annually by both the farmers
and the seedsmen Of the Northwest
and Pacific Coast states thru the
purchase and use of inferior seed.
This widespread and heavy an
nual loss has been due. partially at
least, to the fact that farmers and
seedsmen alike have not had the
means Of easily and accurately de-
termining the termination and purity
Of the seed purchased and used.
The Seed Laboratory Of the Bu-
reau Of Plant Industry, United
States Department Of Agriculture, in
Cooperation with the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, has opened a
branch se~ed-testing laboratory at
Corvallis, Oregon. This laboratory
is solely for the use of the residents
Of the Pacific coast and adjoining
states, for testing seeds free Of
charge. The work of this labora-
tory viii include: ~ The iden-
tihcation of seeds Of any kind. ~
The examinations of samples for the
presence of adulterants and dodder-

MEDICAL LORE OF LONG AGO
Anelents Had Their System of Dealing
with Diseases, as Well as We
Have Ours.

That prehistoric man had ideas on
medicine and surgery is proved by the
researches now in progress by the dis
tinguished Roman psychologist, Pro-
fessor Mosso, in Sicily and Cyprus. In
examining skeletons of men of the
neol1thic age. Professor Mosso finds
that tuberculosis must have been of
primeval occurrence, judging from the
ankylos1s found in the knee-joint con-
sequent on socalled white tumor."

with certainty, though 1t is significant
that many of the severely wounded

thata high percentage of fractures must

Persmmons to Be Grown In Mexico.
Persimmon slips and persimmon
seeds in a large consignment have
Just been received from Japan by the
department of fomento for expert
mentation in the sandy soils of the
warmer sections of Mexico.
The plants were sent directly to the
agricultural stations situated in the
regions where the soil and climate
are deemed adaptable, while the seeds
will be distributed to hacendados on
request, provided these requests come
from sections suited for developing
the trees.
The species of persimmon brought
to Mexico for experimentation differs
somewhat from the persimmon of the
United States. being the japanese
variety known as Kald. Preliminary
experiments appear to have demon
strated that the trees will flourish in
many parts of Mexico and bear large
quantities of fruit.-MeXico Record.

Why He Was on Time.


A West Philadelphia man noted for
his consistent lateness at all engage
ments recently sprang surprise on
his wife. Before he left for business
in the morning his wife asked him to
meet her in town at three o'clock to
do some shopping. He agreed. She
urged him not to keep her waiting,
but, as such urging had always been
fruitless in the past, she expected no
favorable result this time. She ar
rived at the appointed place few
minutes before three and prepared for
long wait. AS she expected, he was
not on hand at three, but, to her sur
prise, at ten minutes past he came up
the street putting and blowing, in a
great hurry. This was unusual :
prompt for him and his wife beamed
pleasantly on him, Good for you" she
said; you are almost on time for
once" The husband took out his
watch and then looked at his wife in
surprise, but he was too wise to tell
her that he had thought their engage
ment was for two o'clock instead of
three.
