DIR. BROWNS cOUGm MIXTURE.


Commenting editorially upon certain
incidents described in THE open
Door" by Mr.. Claude spaulding. the
Christian Science Monitor says, in
part:
Fort slocum, near New Rochelle,
is the receiving point OF recruits for
the regular army, and it is the method
Of their reception 10 which Mr.
Spaulding directs attention. Imme-

animation. each recruit is inoculated

nifty under the right arm and is also
vacoinated against smallpox on the
left arm The incubation is repeat
ed three times at intervals of ten
days. and II the vaccination does not
take effect, il Is repeated at the end
OF seven days Now, anybody may
think just what they like about moe
ulation or vaccination, but Mr. Spauld-

sicians, and the vaccination by medi-
cal recruits after a brief instruction
by regular physician. On the
whole there Is no reason to doubt
this for the simple fact that volun-

have been presented with the means
OF carrying out the second and third
incubation themselves without re-
turning to the recruiting stations
All this is bad enough, but IL Is moth

rs Mr. Spaulding describes them. At
Fort Slocum several cases of typhoid
broke out amongst the men inoculat
ed for typhus and general immunity
In addition TO this he says, there have
been many cases of pneumonia and of
measles to say nothing of severe
colds. The general immunity seems,

largely i'm a promiscuous community,
ultimating in one hideous case of
total paralysis. Not that is must be
imagined, having produced this con-
dition. the non-commissioned officers
and medical recruits do nothing for
the men. On the contrary every man,
who is suffering is made happy with
a bottle of DIR Browns Cough Mix
ture and a wonderful mixture it must
be, IL il Is supposed TO extend its min
istrations from colds TO pneumonia,
and from coughs to paralysis.
ON the whole as Mr. Spaulding
somewhat sardonically remarks, it is
not perhaps TO be wondered at that
volunteer recruiting is not particular
" popular in the United States. The
question of the United States have

charges of Mr.. Spaulding, openly
given to the public in the pages of a
respectable journal are true or are
they untrue. III they are untrue,
they can be disproved; if they are
true. il should never have been pos
sible for them to be recorded But
one thing is certain and that is, that
five million men are not going to sub
