THOUSANDS OF LIVES SAVED
By "Mother's Medicine Chest" and
Patent Prescriptions.
Commenting on attacks made by
certain eastern publications on some
of the best known and most valuable
of the world's. proprietary medicines ,
the Committee on Legislation of the
Proprietary Association says :
"All through tJI0 country districts ,
In every state of the unIon , 'ou will
find In tbo farm houses the old family
romedles , sometimes called 'patent
medicines , ' many of which have beeh
i In use In the same household tor gen'
erntlons. Among such people the old.
fashioned proprIetary medIcine , al.
ways at hand with full printed In.
structlons for use , Is ono of the neces.
sltIes of life.
"To tamllIes In the country many
miles from a doctor such remedies are
Invn.luablo. 'Mother's medlclno chest'
has ved many a life and met many
.a hreatenlns sickness n.t the thres.
hold and turned It out of doors. So
tar from constituting self-prescription ,
as Is often pretended , acquaintance
with n. 'patent medicine' often obvl.
ates the necessity of such a. step ; for
here Is a prescription already made
up , the effect of which Is well known.
One of the greatest advantages of
Buch medlclno Is that Its constant tor.
mula glvC8 It the character of a slnglo
drug , so far as uniformity of result Is
concerned. and the people who use It
know from experience just whJ1.'t they
can count on-"whlch Is more than cnn
be saId of many physIcians" prescrlp.
tlons frequentlJ. obtained at a. far
greater cost and trouble. "
Peculiarity of Somnambulism.
It Is a remarlmble fact that some
somilambullsts who may bo deaf to
the loudest noises wl11 percelvo even
a whisper from some ono person , with
whom alone the sleeper appear to bo
able to hold communication.
Valuable Stamp Collection.
Thomas Tapllns of London began
conectlng postage stamps when only
10 years old and now has n. collection
of about 100000 , whIch It Is estimated
Is worth $500,000.
The only busluess so far dlscovored
