Public Health Aspects of the
Drug Store

Inspection of retail drug stores
throughout the State of Maryland, in
connection with the regular duties OF
the Bureau of Food and Drugs of the
State Department of Health, has dis
closed some violations of the State
pharmacy law, but the conditions re-
vealed were for the most part sat-
isfactory, according to a recent report
of DR.. Robert L. Swain, deputy food
and drug commissioner. The inspec-
lions of the last two months have been
made in Anne Arundel, Baltimore,
Caroline, Dorchester, Frederick, Har-
ford, Washington counties and in Bal
timore City. In connection with them
227 establishments were visited.
In commenting on the findings, DIR.
Swain said that the purpose of the
inspections was twofold. First, to
see whether the provisions of the Pure
Food and Drug Law regarding the
quality and standardization of the
drugs dispensed were carried out;
second, to see whether the provisions
of the Pharmacy Law, which requires
the employment of registered phar-
macists-that is, graduate and duly
licensed pharmacists-in the prescrip-
ton departments of all drug stores,
were being observed.
''In Maryland" he continued, "phar-
macy has gained recognition as fac
tor in public health. 1t is recognized
in the makeup of the State Depart
ment of Health and the enforcement
of the pharmacy and drug laws has
been placed in the hands of the pro-
fession. To the informed, such an
arrangement is as it should be; but
it must be remembered that it car
ries with it a responsibility not only
to those entrusted with the work, but
to the profession. The duty of per-
forming it's work as effectively as
possible for the public good is placed
squarely up to the pharmacists of the
State. They must measure up to
their responsibilities as important
health agencies.
"In the surveys and inspections of
retail drug stores, the detection and
prosecution of violations of the law
was, and is, by no means their chief
purpose. Rather, it has been to as
sist in correcting those conditions
which might furnish the basis for
public criticism that pharmacists were
not meeting their responsibilities I'M
der the law which recognizes their
work as important to the public well
fare"

TOOTH ANNIVERSARY OF
FIRST r. r. CORNERSTONE
Was Laid for Baltimore & Ohio
July 4 By Masonic Fraternity

The Fourth of July this year marks
the one hundredth anniversary of the
laying of the "First Stone" of Ameri-
can railroads. On the Carroll estate
just outside of Baltimore the First
Stone" of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad was laid with impressive GER
emonies. The Stone still stands in
the spot where it was placed on In
dependence Day century ago, mon
ument to Americas ambitious pio-
neers.
The charter authorizing the Balti-
more and Ohio to construct two or
more sets of rails from Baltimore,
Maryland, to some point on the Ohio
River, was granted by the State of
Maryland, February II, 1927. The
First Stone" was laid little over a
year later and marked what was then
considered gigantic task, the con-
struction of rails from the head of
the Chesapeake Bay to the Ohio River.
The occasion was made a day of
celebration in the City of Baltimore.
A parade consisting of floats made
up by and symbolizing the various
trades, bands and fraternal organiza-
tons marched through the streets of
the city, thence to the grounds where
the Stone was laid. The visitors in
Guided members of congress, govern
ors of states, state legislators, Off

the War of 1912, and others who came
to witness the placing of the stone
Charles Carroll Was There
At the ceremonies the Declaration
of Independence was read, the Car
rollton march, which had been written
especially for the occasion, was play
ed by band, after which there were
addresses by prominent visitors. AT
ter the Grand Masters of the Masonic
Fraternity from the States of Mary
land, Pennsylvania and Virginia pro-
nounced the stone "well formed, true
and trusty," Charles Carroll of Car
rollton, the last surviving signer of
the Declaration of Independence, then
in his Goth year, advanced and turned
the first spadeful of earth. No one
realized the full import of the occa-
sion more than this venerable patriot,
for he indicated the significance of
the occasion in few words: 81 con-
slider this among the most important
acts of my life, second only to the
signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence, if even it be second to that. y
Embedded in the stone is a sealed
glass cylinders containing the charter
of the company, newspapers of the
day and a scroll. The stone was cut
and inscribed by Nicholas Hitzelber-
ger, of Baltimore, a veteran of the
War of 1912 and also carver 81 the
Washington Monument, in Baltimore.

Bob Martin, Victim
Of Ring Fate; Career Is
Wrecked by Single Blow

The fortune has been blown away.
Bob blames no one but himself-and
perhaps the absence of friend to adj
wise him. The money came too easy
for boy who had been working at
day wages in rubber factory when
war was declared. Two thousand dol
lars were dumped into his hands at a
a time. Then $4,000. Then $4,000.
Two or three "big shots" netted him
close to five figures. Came a desire
for things that attract boys-big au-
tomobiles, with speed, and the adora-
ton of friends.
But there were no women in this
case. Love had come to Bob early.
There are five youngsters now, who
gaze with pride on their big daddy.
The youngest was only eight weeks
old when l saw him.
The injury to Martin did not assert
itself until few short months ago.
He looks back on two incidents as
being the possible cause of the trou-
BILE. There was his fight with the giant,
numbering Frank Moran in 1921. Mar
tin lacked skill. He was game. Moran
found Bob's head wide open for his
famous MARY Ann" blow. Some IS
or 10 times Moran drove it home.
Most of the time Bob ducked enough
to avoid being hit flush on the chin,
but what may have been worse, the
blows landed on the base Of his skull,
behind his ear. 1t is there that spec
ialists say the clot formed.
Then there was the auto accident
that followed few months later.

says Bob. "Then somebody suggested

was bruised and battered all over.
my head included. 1t might have been
then that l got the bad bump"
Il earned just S265,000 in the ring

Bob. ga lot of it came after the Mo-
ran fight. Then, when l found was
never going to get to the top in the
ring, l tried other things. l joined
the State police in West Virginia for
time. Then back into the army.
That was in 1925.
II fought in exhibitions and one or
two bouts in the service. 1t wasn't
until a few months ago that all this
came on"
Martin was discharged in May.
What does the future hold for him !?
Well, he's getting so per cent full
disability pension for disablement

go very far in a family of seven.
Some time this summer Bob may
join a vaudeville trope. He is still

some chap, with his winning smile. He
can walk to the center of the stage,
lean nonchalantly against helpful
pedestal or chair back, and talk of the
old days. Lots of folks will be glad
to see him-he believes.
That's about what the future holds
for him unless science, or some kind
act of Providence, lifts the cloud that
sends him about the streets these
days a partial derelict.

By NORMAN E. BROWN.
Staff Writer for Central Press.

Writing from Huntington, W. Va,
recently, Mr.. Brown said in his syndi-
Gated article:
Today l saw Bob Martin.
caught at first glance again that
same old boyish smile, mop of black
hair, the giant wonderful shoulders
a sort of background for the bobbing
heads in front of him.
Then he stepped into the open.
Something was wrong. 1t was his
stride. The rolling, zigzag gait of a
sailer-the kind gay COB acquires
partly from the days afloat and part
ly from the few brief hours of the
joys ashore.
A handshake. The smile Of recogni-
ton, then a frown from man puz-
zled over his new acquaintance, his
whereabouts and the world in general.
And then he gave me the facts-the
strange story of Bob Martin.
Here it is:
Unless science comes to his rescue
Bob Martin, who once fiirted with the
fame that came to Gene Tunney, will
wander through the rest of his days
a sort of derelict. Not punch drunk,
as they say in ring parlance (unless it
be from one punch).
He is not the victim of the reckless
ness of youth. He is sound in body
and in mind-except for moments
when he slips into darkness. Well,
whas WAS wrong with Bob Martin?
An impairment of the muscles and
nerves that control the equilibratory
apparatus of the human body leaves
him incapable of moving at rapid
pace, rising or sitting without en-
countering dizziness which at times
overpowers him. And that same i'm.
pairment halts or disrupts, at times,
even the functioning of his brain.
Aware of the fact that he is roam
ing slowly toward the edge of the
sidewalk as he plods his way about
Huntington's streets, Martin is una
BILE to right his course as he desires.
Watching his eyes as he turns to-
ward you suddenly, you see them
culver like those of a sleeping doll
when it's head is shaken violently, only
Bob's eyes waver from side to side
until they apparently come into focus
again. During this period he is with
out the usual balance or equilibrium
that the ordinary man or any creature
has.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1928-07-19

Where Martin acquired this injury
he doesn't know.
Bobs memory isn't impaired, ex-
cept for those CLOUDY" spells. He re-
calls wildly the manner in which ne
broke the boxing game.
There was notice in Y. M. c. A.
hut in France. A plea for all who
could box, wrestle, sing, dance or act,
to volunteer their services to enter
tain their buddies. Bob volunteered
to box And laughs as he recalls the
first bout.
His opponent, one Arthur Alexan-
der, was six feet six inches tall and
weighed 240 pounds. Bob knocked
him out in two rounds.
II guess that gave the boys and
myself the idea 1 could box" says
Bob, "and it wasn't long before / had
won the heavyweight championship
of the A. E. F., and then of the allied
armies.
Scene had won the light heavy
weight championship. l fought Tun-
ney in a regularly scheduled fight OF
four rounds" says Bob, "and he out
pointed me. After that we fought ID
times, but they were exhibition affairs
for the boys, and so I suppose they
don't count. l never thought then
that Gene would become champion OF
the world.
81 wasn't thinking that would be,
either, but had my heart set on try
ing to get there"
Home again, and there came the
brightest page in Bob's life. Ray
Bronson, wise little fight manager,
was waiting for him at the dock. A
friendship and a working agreement
between the two that carried Martin
to some fame and to what now seems
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1928-07-19

Martin is probably Cease" in the
eyes of physicians and specialists.
That hasn't helped him to date, how
ever. The consensus of opinion is
that blow on the head at some time
or other produced blood clot. This
clot has passed away, but has left a
so-called oscar" that impairs the usu-
al movement or action of the nerves
nearby-the nerves responsible for
the normal functions destroyed.
To the layman-and Bob-a clearer
explanation is made-that the pen
dulum" in his brain, which swings
back and forth to govern this equllib-
rum, is prevented from swinging
freely by this scar. Touching this
scar it is halted, leaving Martin I'M
able to regain his balance. This or
ganism is directly related to the
nerves of the eye and brain, of course,
and hence the action of the eyes and
the blank moments that leave nm
wavering mentally, as we'll.
