supported and that they were over
loaded with work that belonged to
other officers. He pointed to the re-
suits achieved during the construc-
ton of the Panama Canal as an ex-
ample of what could be done in the
United States. Doctor Ravenel stat
ed that the death rate at the Panama
Canal at present was lower than the
death rate Of any city in this country.
"Much of the insanity and crime in
this country" he said, is due to
diseased bodies or minds. We spend
millions of dollars for the care of
these people, yet do nothing to get
at the root of the thing.
! Doctor Ravenel said that the death
rate in the German army, due to ty-
phoid fever was but one man in ev-
cry 100000. He said that this was
due to the fact that vaccination there
was compulsory. Because Of the
adoption of compulsory vaccination
laws in the United States Army,
there were but four cases among the
80, 900 men in 1884.

81. LOUIS DRUG FIRM FAILS
Meyer Brothers involved In Financial
Difficulties eecause Of Slow Col
lection Of Accounts.

A temporary receiver was appoint
I'd recently for the Meyer Brothers
Drug Company Of st. Louis, a large
wholesale firm, on petition Of three
creditors whose claims aggregate
100000. They allege that the debts
OF the firm to other creditors exceed
one-half million dollars.
The firm was established sixty
years ago, and according to the petit.
ton its business ran into the millions
annually.
Because OF business depression, 1t
is stated, the firm has been unable to
collect accounts aggregating 100000.
The receiver was sought because
the creditors feared the filing of In.
dividual suits by certain creditors
might lead to a multitude Of other
suits, resulting in simultaneous judg.
ments far in excess of the ability Of
the company to pay
= 1t also is stated that if suits were
brought by Meyer Brothers against
their Dealers, druggists throughout
the country might be forced into
bankruptcy.
The petition says that the business
of the company has been prosperous,
and it's credit high. and that If its
assets could be disposed of in bulk or
as the assets Of a going concern they
would yield sum largely in excess
of liabilities. On forced sale, it Is
stated, the assets would not yield
enough to pay debts.
The action was filed in the state
circuit court. Edwin w. Lee, former
excise commissioner Of st, Louis, was
appointed temporary receiver. He
was instructed to pay no salaries.
