BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
M Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alcnce and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or it's salts except
upon doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
made canvass by mail Of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. Of the victims of
drugs formed the habit as a result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

II have suffered from the same trou-
BILE (painful finger nails) at different
periods Of my life. The first time Of
its occurrence. perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me- but it was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The infiamma-
tion and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was SO painful that 1 had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. 1 had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again tried various remedies, among
them prescription from doctor of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use 1t.
began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as could. I had not
used 1t but few weeks before my
nails were better. and in short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration. nor inflam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in effecting a
cure" (Signed) Mrs. I. ]. Horton,
Katonah, N. Y. Apr. 13, 1910. On
Sept. 21, Mrs. Horton wrote: II have
had no further return of the trouble
with my finger nails"

as so often shown in his action upon
the judgment of courts martial
After the repulse of Fredericksburg
he is reported to have said: "If there
is man out of hell that suffers more
than do, pity him."
"One morning, calling on him at an
early hour on business" says Scuy-
Ter Colfax, Il found him so pale and
careworn that l inquired the cause.
He replied, telling me of bad news re-
ceived at late hour of the night, and
not yet printed, adding that he had not
closed his eyes or breakfasted; and
then he said, with an anguished ex-
preston which shall never forget,
How willingly would exchange plac-
es today with the soldier who sleeps
on the ground in the army of the Po-
tomac."
THE morning after bloody battle Of
the Wilderness saw him walk up and
down the executive chamber, his long
arms behind his back, his dark fea-
lures contracted still more with gloom.
