ARE MEDICINES LIouoRs2

A certain class of preiudiced and
Jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages. They will
tell you that such and such a medi-
cine contains as much alcohol as a
glass Of beer or a certain quantity Of
whiskey; but they do not mention
that the beer or whiskey is swal-
lowed at one draught, while only a
small quantity of the medicine is
taken at one dose. At the same time
they will use alcohol quite as freely
and many in four or five times as
great proportions in their own pre-
scriptions
Such standard remedies as Lydia
p. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
use barely enough alcohol to preserve
the root and herb eXtractiyes, too
little to have injurious effects, md the
medicine can be had. If desired, in a
non-alcoholic form.

Several OF the states, chiefly in the

THE boundary between the United

Most Of this distance is wild noun

hundreds Of miles there is no railroad
