If a person goes to a lawyer for nil

enables the doctor to give him compe

It is the knowledge and skill behind!
it that he pays for The prescription J
is merely an order upon the druggist
insti ucting him what to prepare for j
the doctor'.! patron, and it 1 written |
for this person only, for the particular
ailment with which he is afflicted,■
and for tills particular time only.
The doctor is not selling perscrip

in trade, just the same as knowledge,
is the lawyer’s stock in trade.
Tlit> doctor would not think of writ
ing the same p rscrjption foi every
case; nor would he think of writing
i he sumi prescription for every per j
son nor for every stage of the same
disease. His knowledge and his
judgment m»11 him what this individ

J do not refer now to eases of ex

and all within hearing must answer

more often than the doetor. tie gives
of his knowledge generously and of
ten of his means. A large percent
of his services are never paid for.
lie charges these accounts on his
hooks as a matter of routine, but lie
knows that many of them don't mean
money. He doesn't count them as
an asset only ns so many families
Unit are a little under obligation to
him, and lie serves them again and
again.
Practice of medicine isn’t a busi
ness, and as a rule the doctor isn’t a
sharp business man. lie is loo easy,
lie lias bad bis mind so occupied with
mastering the details of his profes
sion; so full of subjects totally aloof
from business, that business educa
tion lias been crowded out. The mind
is a good deal like a bucket of water.
You can fill it full, but a drop more
and It will run over. There are dif
ferent sized buckets and there are
different sized brains. Therefore it
is no discredit to the good doctor
that he is a bad financier.
This giving away and repeating (lie
doctor’s prescription is often the re
sult of thoughtlessness; sometimes ig
uorance, but it is ns rank a piece of
injustice as is ever done by one in
dividual to another, and that other
his friend and counselor. Think of
it! Why you wouldn't give another
a dime's worth of you neighbor’s corn
without his consent. You would
rather give a dollar's worth of your
own. Then why give dollars worth
of the doctor’s stock in trade with
out so much us "by-your-loave"? it
is a puzzeling sort of inconsistency
that can permit a person to give or
accept such a thing.
Ilic person who is given a pre
scription by the doctor has no right
lo it whatever. It belongs on the
druggists' file—evidence that it was
properly written and properly filled,
and available to the court in case
sonic untoward event brings it within
the court's jurisdiction. Neither have
you any right to require a copy from
the druggist. It's mission is ended
when it is stuck on the druggist's
file and the medicine which it was
the order for, is handed to you. It
is ridiculous lo suppose that the
small sum you paid the doctor en
titles you to month's or year's of
treatment. You couldn’t get a
quack to treat you on those terras. *
May doctors will not permit all
their prescriptions to be re filled with
out tin ir consent and those they
mark “N. H , (non repitur), which
means it is not to be refilled. This
is right and just and it should be
applied to all, bill the doctors do not
use this liar very often only to those
which it is not wise to continue, and
it is only the patient they are con
sidering, not their own interests.
This bar should be more generally
used. The druggist is powerless to
act in the matter. In the absence of
instruct ions from the doc tor he has
no right to decline to refill unless
the perscription contains something
which he regards as dangerous. Phy
sicians arc careless about this mat
ter. They frequently tell their pa
tients to have the prescription re-fill
ed as needed. These verbal orders
cloud the subject so that the druggist
lias no established rule to go by.
There is another side to this prac
tice of handing around prescriptions,
besides the matter of injustice to the
doctor, and that is the possible error.
By what sort of reasoning does a
man or woman.with no medical knowl
edge whatever, bring themselves up
to tin' idea that they can prescribe
for some one else? Without any
knowledge of pathology, how can they
assume to make a diagnosis? With
out any knowledge of therapeutics
how can they assume to apply a rem
edy? Without any knowledge of
materia lnedica and doses, how can
they assume to prescribe? They only
know that a certain prescription ben
efitted them in a certain instance;
therefore it must be good for anoth
er. Verily, " fools rush where atigeh
fear to tread.” If the individual whe
takes upon himself the doctoring o!
his neighbors could only know ho'\
difficult it is to distinguish ailments
how many symptoms are common tc
several diseases; how many influen
es are to In considered, in diagnos
ing a case; if ho could only get a
glimpse of the bewildering thera
peutic effects of medicines, he would
hesitate to put the mantle of the
physician upon his shoulders. Put
this same individual in a telephone
office, where thousands of wires are
centered, would he lake upon him
self to mend some obscure, broken
eomnnmicatlon? Hardly. He would
leave tlial to experts. Why doesn’t
I he leave the other to the experts?
II lie started in on the telephone job
i he would likely wreck one hundred
connections hunting for one. Is the
| human system any less complicated
that he so readily tackles the job of
repairing it? Put your finger upon
the key hoard of a piano. If you are
competent it will give forth melody
and harmony; if not, noise and dis
cord. Are the keys to the human
system easier to play upon?
It is the egotism of ignorance that
presumes thus to usurp the physicians
functions. True, the doctor's pre
scription for one individual may be
adapted to another, and it may
not. Why take the chance? It is
done daily. Spirt out and tell till
your friends that you have something
the matter with you name it what
you please and nine out of ten will
prescribe for you. Itlaeksmilli, car
penter. merchant, butcher, baker and
candlestick maker, each will offer you
a remedy. The strangest thing of

Smith will take Jones’ advice about
medicine when he wouldn’t take it
about a horse tiade. A wag once told
a friend who was complaining about
his liver to ttike five grains of as
inine extract three times a day and
he went to the drug store and naked
for it.
Go to the doctor when you are
sick, if you can’t go to him he will
come to you. Pay him; he deserves
it and he has earned it. Take your
prescription to the most capable drug
gist AND LEAVE IT THERE, where
it b comes a voucher. Have it refill

give it to your friends and neighbors.
