Millions Spent
On Frauds
Fake Consumption Cures Cheat
Public Out Of $15,-
100000.

Over s15,OO0,0O0 annually is poured
into the Golfers of those who exploit
and advertise fake consumption cures,
according to a statement issued today
by the National Association for the
Study and Preention Of Tubvercuosisl:
and for this vast sum the victims re-
cefve nothing in return, but are often
permanently injured and In the ma
jority of cases cheated out of the
chance for a real cure. Worse still.
most of this money is paid by those
who can least afford it.
The National ASSOCIATION has inves-
tigated several hundred so-called
.tcures, and .streatments,S for tubercu-
losis now being ADVERTISED throughout
the country, and finds that more than
So, OO0. 900 a year is being spent in so

examination, it has been found that
the great majority. of these "cures"
contain harmful and habitforming
drugs, such as morphine, opium and
chIoroform. None of them will cure
CONSUMPTION. The only cure for this
disease that has ever been discovered
is the combination of fresh air, rest
and wholesome food. All of the "cures"
that attempt to destroy the tubercle
bacillus without these or to stop the
progress Of the disease in some my
serious way are branded as frauds, and
impositions.
Three classes of cures are distin-
guished by the National Association
In theE first class ARE included devices
and Drugs which can be bought for
any sum hanging from ten cents to five
dollars AT a drugstore. The United
States Department. Of Agriculture has
just issued a bulletin In which some
of the most used of these drugs and
remedies are analyzed and condemned.
The second class Eof cures includes
the institutes" professors or COM
panies Of "doctorsB' who for a consid-
Grafton guarantee to cure consumption
by some secret method of which they
are the sole PROJECTORS There are
nearly one hundred and fifty of these
institute frauds in the United States,
cheating the people out of. millions of
dollars annually
:. In the third class of ."cures" are
placed number 9f home made rene
dies, which either Through ignorance
orsuperstition have been advanced as
treatments for tuberculosis. Some of
these are onions, lemons, rattlesnake
poison, coal dust, lime dust, pigs
blood, dog Oil, milk "strippings," and
even alcohol. These will not cure con-
sumption declares the National Assoc
iation. No drug, gas or other material
has yet been discovered, which, when
eaten, inhaled or injected into the
body, viii kill the germs Of tubercu-
losis. Fresh air, whish contains more
oxygen than any substance known, will
destroy the germs Of tuberculosis, if
it is breathed continuously for long
enough period, and il rest and whole
some food are employed at the same
time to build UP the body.

SAYS manufacturers
KEEP UP PRICES
Memphis Merchant Starts Out in
Fight to Cut.

Duke C. Bowers, of Memphis, Tenn,
ia merchant, says that combinations
among manufacturers keep UP prices
to the consumer by fixing the rate at
which the retailer must sell goods, and
he proposes a la " the Federal gov

He issues t 10 following statement:

trying to persuade me to raise my
price to. the same as my competitors,
namely, 25c and soc or 66 2-3 per cent.
over what I was selling it for After
writing them that was making what
I considered a fair margin of profit
and explaining to them why couldn't
consistently accede to their demands.
they answered me giving their reasons
why they couldn't continue selling me,
winding up their letter with the fol-
lowing:
"*** we must refrain from shipping
goods to you on account of the method
which you have Incorporated in your
business of selling all the goods you
handle at an extremely low price.
Thanking you for writing us fully
regarding this question, and assuring
you that we regret exceedingly that
we are not in position to meet your

After the above rundown wrote
the Magic Food Co., of Chattanooga,
and among other things they said in
reply:
'sWe thank you for giving us an OPP
portunity to quote you prices, and re-
greet we cannot accept same, unless
you would agree to maintain our scala
of retail prices. If you would do that
we could name you very attractive
quantity prices"
then wrote the International Stock
Food Co., of Minneapolis, Mimi, and
received the following reply:
Replying to your of the 18th, inst,
in reference to handling our goods.
will say, we do not Believe that it IS
good policy to sell our goods at less
than our regular retail prices; hence,
we would not be willing to have you
handle same unless you would agree to
maintain our regular retail prices"
Now gentlemen do you believe 1t is
right for a manufacturer to boycott a
retailer because he will not agree t.
sell at as high price as the balance
of the retail trade?
If you believe it is wrong for man
ufacturer to boycott a dealer because
he is trying to help "reduce the cost
of living" then for the consumers
sake (and mine too@ get busy and be-
fore you adjourn pass Senator Taylor's
