BRITONS PATRONIZE
- PATENT MEDICINES
Special Committee Astonished al
Vast Amount Spent OH Them
Annually,

London.-A select committee of the
house of commons on patent medi-
cines has been holding sessions here
for some time. The purpose is to
make thorough investigation in ref
erence to the law with regard TO the
sale and advertisement of patent
medicines in the United Kingdom
and to make suggestions and recon-
mendations-if deemed advisable
with regard to changes that should
be made.
In the course OF the inquiry it was
shown three years ago even no few
er than 41,75I535 patent medicine
stamps were sold in the United King
dom. This was practically equival-
ent to one package of patent medi-
cine for every man, woman and child
in the country. The gross receipts
from the sale of the stamps was 1885,
900 pounds (s1,727,60S). The gross
receipts for the year ending March

description. whether on the label or
in an dvertisement, should consti-
tute an offense, and that the food
and drugs act should apply to pro-
rietary medicines.
The committee is still hearing evil
dence and its report will not be made
public for some little time. It's rec
concentrations are awaited with great
interest, because of the very large
use in the United Kingdom of pat
ent medicines.
In answer to a question put by the
chairman of the committee the So
licitor to the customs and excise de-
partment stated that there was moth
ing, in his opinion, in the law as it
now stood to prevent any person
making up any sort of mixture con-
tanning anything except obvious poi

any disease. and selling it to the pub

management estimates that the COM

amount,

tons OF ore daily and the rccoveries
are highly satisfactory. the officials
say. This will be about the average
maintained by this plant, though its
capacity is rated higher The lower
grade ore is being put through the
mill at this time and the management
,ays that only this grade of material
will be put through the plant, as this
ore is to be treated until more room
is obtained underground for extract
