McClellan's army had now been op-
Grating in the vicinity of Grafton for
about one month, winning the impor-
tant victory of Phihppi. The general
himself had remained at his Ohio
headquarters until June 20. when he
started for the front In his book
"McClellan's Own Story" he gives
several quotations from letters writ
ten to his wife covering this time. AS
Greeley said, They make mighty in
rerest1n' readin'," and throw a reveal
ing light on one phase Of McClellan's
character. From Marietta June 81 he
wrote:
AT every station where we stopped

me about twenty beautiful bouquets
and almost killed me with kindness.
1 could hear them say, He is our own
general Look at him-how young he
is! He win thrash Them He'll do"
ETC., ad infnitum."
On June % he reached Grafton. A
letter Of that date contains the fol-
lowing characteristic extract: Every
thing here needs the hand of the mas
ter and is getting 1t fast" OF later
date is this: Unless where 1 am in
person everything seems TO go wrong"
Here is another in kind: "One thing
takes up a great deal of time, yet i
cannot avoid it-crowds of the coun-

ment made by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley.
chief Of the bureau of chemistry. de-
partment of agriculture.
The defect in that law, as pointed
out first by Chief Justice Clabaugh OF
the district supreme court, Washing
ton, was deplored by the renowned
food expert. The necessity of further
legislation to correct the law so as to
protect the public from manufacturers
Of such preparations was strongly en-
phasized by him
Permitting manufacturers to sell
their products, derived from the most
deadly drugs, without informing the
consumers in plain, certain terms OF
the exact nature Of the preparations
was the burden of the lament Of DR..
Wiley.
MENACE TO CONSUMERS.
Headache powders and other RENE
dies containing morphine and cocaine
were especially referred to by DR.. WI
ley as productive of insanity. There
are said to be numerous patent medi-
cines on sale throughout the land con-
tanning more or less Of these drugs,
and, according to the government ex-
pert, each and every one is a menace
to consumers. The effect Of such prep
arations on the mind was declared by
DR.. Wiley to be entirely unsupported
by their users. This unfortunate ig-
norance was attributed by the expert
mainly to the alleged suppression by
proprietors Of the name Of the parent
drugs from which they are derived
with the willful design of deceiving the
public.
Drugs containing morphine and CO.
caine have a decided tendency to de-
stroy the mind, and many doubtless
have been destroyed by their consump
tion," declared DR.. Wiley.
Nor is this the full extent of the
chemists structures against patent
medicines. Heart disease also is
chargeable to the use of drugs, he said.
Among the harmful ingredients men
toned by DR.. Wiley were acetanilide.
phenacetin and caffeine. Each Of these
acts specifically upon the heart, &C

Patterson Recalled by Scott.
Let us turn to another picture. We
have already seen the singing regi-
ments of General Patterson wading
the Potomac with the water up to
their armpits. Once on Virginia soil
they began the march from Williams
port to Harpers Ferry. The first init
nation Patterson received of John
ston's evacuation OF Harpers Ferry
was a dispatch from General Scott
asking as to his PattersonsI inten-
tons as to pursuing the enemy and
adding that If he did not contemplate
such pursuit to send a part of his
army Immediately to Washington. the
capital being hard pressed. Two or
three dispa passed back and
forth before Patterson complied. but
at last he did so on receiving a per
emptory order.
Genera Patterson. who had been
soldier in two wars. was bitterly criti-
cised because he did not occupy Har-
pers Ferry or follow up and attack
Johnston. All this he bore in silence
and il was not till later that the fact
Of his being commanded to Send the
flower of his troops to Washington
came out. General Scott's motive can
be understood. for Washington was in
a state OF nervous suspense. fearing an
attack from Manassas. AS TO General
Patterson's later failure to engage
Johnston and thus keep that general
from aiding Beauregard at Bull Run.
