tically all medical advertising. But the Tribune has gone further. A few weeks ago it announced that it would guarantee it's readers against loss or dissatisfaction through the purchase of any wares advertised in it's columns. Such step on the part of a daily newspaper is, we believe, unique. A few high-class magazines give their readers this protection, but, so far as we know, no newspaper has ever as sumed such a task as that undertak- en by the New York paper. As the Tribune says:
 Out of our armory of defences goes the comfortable old doctrine of caveat emptOr. that favorite refuge of the newspaper whose hands are full of not over-clean advertising revenue. Caveat emptor IS the strict letter of the law, but We shall never retreat be- hlnd It. In practice it means that the reader takes care while the news paper takes the money. Under our l system he does not have to take care. We will do the taking care for him" {"
 Should newspapers over the country. generally. take this stand, it would sound the death knell of the fraudulent patent medicine" industry. Imagine II possible, newspaper guaranteeing its readers against loss from taking "Pulmonol" or "Eckman's Alterative' Tor consumption, from taking Swamp Root" or "Doan's Kidney Pills" for Bright's disease, from taking "Wine of Cardui," or Lydia Pinkham's" for female trouble" from taking Cout ants alleged cure for deafness. from using Plapao Pads for rupture, from taking any of the thousand and one wickedly exploited cures for cancer imagine newspaper that guaranteed It's readers against "loss or dissatis faction" carrying such advertisements. 1t isn't conceivable that any paper that had the interest of its readers suffi- clently at heart to take the stand the 1 Tribune has could, in the the nature ot the case, accept advertisements from fradulent patent medicine" con- cerns and quacks. Yet, as a moral principle, the new standard set by the New York Tribune, while so far in ad

vance of the procession, is merely one of simple elemental honesty. It is the stand that is taken by every honest man in business. The rapid change that is now taking place in the adver. Using world makes one optimistic. We believe that, before the present decade has passed, the position taken by the Tribune will be accepted as matter of course by the majority of decent newspapers throughout the country. In the meantime, every right-minded citizen should throw the power of influence behind those pub lications that are waging war against frauds and leading in the fight against those powers of evil that menace both public health and public morals. More power to the pen of the New York Tribune, says The Journal Of the American Medical Association.
