A., Drawer, Cola PROPRIETARY REMEDIES VS. PHYSICIANS’ PRESCRIPTIONS Statistics Bhow, of the Deaths from Misuse of Drugs in Two Years, Only Three Per Cent. Were Due to Patent Medicines, According to Figures Based on Medical Certificates. The press committee of the Proprie tary Association of America will pre sent at the next meeting of that body a report showing the number of acci dental deaths caused by patent medi cines in the two years ending June 30, 1907, as compared with deaths from other causes. Almost immediately after the begin ning of the latest crusade against proprietary medicines this committee was instructed to collect data. This work was done through the clipping bureaus, which furnished accounts of all deaths, exclusive of suicide, due to the misuse of medicines, drugs or poisons. The result showed that only three per cent, could be traced di rectly to the products made by the members of the association. The greatest care is said to have been exercised in tabulating the fig ures received. Whenever the cause of death was doujtlful, special inves tigation was made, no matter where the case might have occurred. The work of assorting and preparing the record was done in Chicago, and the original clippings and correspondence are in the possession of Ervin P. Kemp, 184 La Salle street, that city, the association’s publicity agent. The report says, in part: "A large number of accidents, re sulting fatally or otherwise, were caused by the carelessness of persons who left drugs, medicines or poisons within the reach of children. A large number, also, were caused by persons going to medicine cabinets in the dark and taking down the wrong bottle. In no case reported was any medicine, ‘patent’ or otherwise, held responsible for injury or death except when left within the reach of children or taken or administered in gross overdose." The committee says that it is un likely that any cases of death from the use of patent medicine escaped the newspapers, but that it is prob able that death from the causes tabu lated did occur without receiving pub licity. Physicians, of course, report the causes of death. The committee says that they would ho the last to suppress the cause if due to the use of medicine not reqularly prescribed. A recapitulation of the committee’s findings show 4,295 cases of poisoning, of which 1,753 were fatal. The great est number of cases, 1,636, with 803 deaths, is attributed to medicines other than proprietary remedies. There are on the list 90 cases of sick ness and 43 deaths due to patent medi cines. Analyzing its statistics, the commit tee finds 201 cases of sickness, with 143 deaths, due to strychnine tablets, which are among physicians’ favorite remedies and are often left within the reach of children. Under the head of miscellaneous prescriptions are grouped 44 cases where, the report says, it has been im possible after diligent inquiry to as certain the name or the character of the drug or medicine which caused in jury or death, beyond the fact that the medicine or drug was prescribed by a physician. Of these cases 18 were fatal. The committee says: "Under the head of ‘All Patent Medicines’ are grouped all those rem edies which are recognized as patent medicines and which are advertised direct to the public for internal use. Competent authorities say that at least one-half of the medicines taken In the United States are of the kind known as ‘patent medicine,’ and yet in two years among 80,000,000 people there have been but ninety cases (forty-three fatal) that have been re ported In the newspapers from the use or misuse of these remedies." Not in a single fully substantiated case is it ever charged that any pat ent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. In this connection it should he understood that in making death certificates and in reporting cases of injury to the newspapers from which these cases were secured, a physician had the final word, and in this connection is there any prob ability that the doctor will hide his own carelessness or neglect or that of a fellow practitioner whose support he may want at some time, and is there even a possibility that he might hide any responsibility that could be thrown at a patent medicine? Ask yourself these questions. Then when you have found the answer, consider that during all this most thorough and careful investigation covering a period of two years, in not a single established case was it shown that patent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. The most remarkable case reported was that of an Italian laborer in New York who suffered from pains in .the chest. A physician ordered a porous plaster which the patient ate, with fatal results. New Method of Cutting Steel. A new method of cutting steel la said to have been patented by a Bel gian engineer. The process consists in first heating the metal by means of an oxyhydrogen flame and then cut ting it by a small stream of oxygen gas, which unites with the steel and forms a fusiblo oxide, which flows freely from the cut. It Is said that the cut is fully as smooth as that made by the saw, and is only 1-100 inch wide! Sufficient Happiness. The only happiness a brave man ever troubled himself about especially was happiness enough to get bis work done. —Carlyle. COLORADO NEWS ITEMS % The sugar making campaign has op ened at Fort Collins.

Darrow, the well known lawyer and essayist, discussing the Haywood trial, in which he played so prominent a part, said the other day: "Some of tho evidence in that trial was so transparently false that it re minds me of a case that came off in Alabama a few years back. One of the witnesses in this case was an ex tremely ignorant man. As his testi mony progressed, his ignorance be came so shockingly evident that the judge, looking sternly down at him said: " ‘Look here, sir, are you acquaint ed with the value of an oath?’ "The witness answered anxiously: "‘Jedge, I hope I am. That thar lawyer on yer left hand gimme six dol lars to sw’ar agin the other side. Tliet’s the correck value of an oath, ain't it, jedge?’ ” Wear Pajamas on Cars. "I learned something from the por ter on our train this morning,” said a hotel guest. "I noticed him pick up the coat to a pair of pajamas while he was making up one of the berths. Whoever had occupied the berth had got off the train, evidently, and left the garment behind. ‘Forgot part of his nightie, eh?’ says I to the porter. The porter grinned broadly. ‘Wasn’t any his about it, boss,’ he says. ‘lt war a lady that was in that berth las’ night. Yes, sail. Lots of ’em seems to like them to weali on the cahs. I guess they thinks they’s better in case of a wreck or sump’n like that.’ ” A Strenuous Hint. It was growing very late, but the , young man in the parlor scene showed no signs of making a home run. "You evidently have a very vivid Imagination, Mr. Borem," said the dear girl, as she made an unsuccessful attempt to strangle a yawn. "Why do you think so?” queried the unsuspecting Borem.

Staying at an inn in Scotland a shooting party found their sport much interfered with by rain. Still, yvet or fine, the old-fashioned barometer that hung in the hall persistently pointed to "set fair." At length one of the party drew the landlord’s attention to the glass, saying: "Don’t you think now, Dugald, there’s something the matter with your glass?" "No, sir," replied Dugald, with dignity; "she’s a gude glass and a powerful glass, but she’s no’ moved wi’ trifles." PUTS THE "GINGER" IN. The Kind of Food Used by Athletes. A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His experi ence with a change in food is interest ing. "While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily ‘jogs’ be came a task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy. "I trained for the mile and the half mile runs (those events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily ‘jogs,’ which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. "The Grape-Nuts food put me in per fect condition and gave me my ‘ginger.’ Not only was my physical condition made perfect, and my weight in creased, but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time for merly required. Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nuts for they have learned its value, but I think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help some one to learn how the best results can bo ob tained." There’s a reason for the effect of Grape-Nuts food on tho human body and brain. Tho certain elements in wheat and barley are selected with special reference to their power for re building the brain and nerve centres. The product Is then carefully and scientifically prepared so as to make it easy of digestion. The physical and mental results are so apparent after two or three week’s use as to produce a profound impression. Read "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs. "There’s a reason." NO PLACE FOR HIM HERE. Alabama Judge Did Not Think De ceased Would Misa Much. "Your honor,” said a prosecuting at torney in an Alabama backwoods court, "tho prisoner at the bar is charged with killing one of the most exemplary citizens of this county.

He —” "Hold on a minute," said the judge. "You say he never bet on a horse?" "That’s what I said, your honor." "Never was known to play a game?” "Never your honor.” "And he never drank liquor?" "Never drank a drop, your honor.” "And he didn't chew tobacco?” "Never took a chew in his life.” "Well, then,” said the judge, "I don't see what he wanted to live for. There wasn’t anything in life for him, and I don’t see why he ain’t about as well off dead as alive. Release the prisoner, Mr. Sheriff, and call the next case." FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep- Hands, Arms and Lege Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. "I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they coufd not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itch ing. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now*.
