KELLY - -A Paper Read Before the Baltimore Retail Druggists Association - -Monday, March 10, 1913 - - -_Mr. President and Gentlemen_: - -The subject, “Is There a Crisis in the Drug Business,” which your -president has unfortunately selected me to discuss, is so vitally -interesting and important to each of you that I suppose there may -be a great many here who have given much more thought, and are so -far more versed on the subject than I, that any feeble effort of -mine would suggest no new thought, supply no new theories or give -subject-matter with which you are not already familiar. However, as I -have been requested to give a personal opinion, I ask your indulgence, -particularly if my efforts do supply nothing new and are only in the -nature of a review. - -The “Crisis in the Drug Business,” referred to and discussed by -many, pro and con, seems to pertain particularly to the prescription -end of it, and as such will be most considered. “Crisis,” meaning a -“vitally important or decisive state of things, the point at which a -change must come, either for the better or worse,” somewhat describes -the situation, though it has been a gradual evolution, approaching -slowly, almost stealthily, until now, aroused, the condition seems -acute, apparently a sudden and startling metamorphosis. It may be more -properly described, however, as a gradual but decided revolution in -conduct and method of business, partly due to natural conditions over -which the druggist has no control, and partly to changes which he has -been slow to realize and slower to adapt himself. - -These changes we shall divide into scientific and commercial. Through -laboratory research work, modern medical science has progressed to such -an extent that in some diseases the form of medication has changed -entirely, while in others medication is reduced to a minimum. Chemical -combinations, synthetics, biological products, vaccines, etc., have all -in a natural sequence deprived the pharmacist of many prescriptions. - -The various salts of mercury and potash have been to some extent -replaced by salvarsin and copavia, nitre, menthelene blue seem about -to be effected by gonococcous vaccine and anti-gonococcic serum. Your -gargles, douches, sprays, external and internal medication have to -a considerable extent been supplanted some time ago by anti-toxin, -and so on, but the unfortunate side of it is that in cities such as -ours much more of these products are supplied through the health -department and the hospitals than through the legitimate channel of -trade, the druggist, and oftentimes to many undeserving people. Some -family physicians, who are nothing more than diagnosing agents for -the specialists, and who, when called in to see the sick, immediately -consult a specialist, with the result that in about 50 per cent. -of the cases the subject generally finds his or her way into the -hospital. The great number of dispensaries in our community, with their -indiscriminate service and consequent unbridled abuse, is another cause -for the falling off in the prescription business. - -The surgeon, the X-ray, radium, etc., all play their individual part in -the decline of prescriptions. These are a few of the reasons for a more -or less elimination of prescription writing, for which we may say that -science is either directly or indirectly the contributing cause. - - -THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. - -Several times agents for tablet houses have called on me and said: “Dr. -So and So has just given me a little order, or intends to increase his -line of our goods; of course, we don’t sell doctors direct, so if you -will let me send these goods through you I will bill them straight, -subject to a 10 per cent. discount to you; this means business for me -and 10 per cent. on the doctor’s purchase for you. In other words, I -was to guarantee their bill, wait for my money until the doctor was -ready to pay, and act as their collecting agent, for all of which -the above traveling man most magnanimously offered the above highly -remunerative 10 per cent. and this for the worst enemy the druggist -has--the dispensing doctor. That gentleman who pays no taxes on his -stock and fixtures, needs no traders’ license, is subject to no drug -inspection, who is insincere with his patients, and needs but the -occasion to discredit druggists, as a whole, in furthering his schemes -of diverting from the proper channels that which rightfully does not -belong to him.” - -Another reason is the mistake made at times by the druggists, as a -body, of often plunging headlong, and with the purest motives possible, -into any vortex created by a few overzealous men, both physicians and -pharmacists, who are more often theorists than practical druggists, -and to illustrate my point I recall an incident of more or less recent -occurrence that tended to inspire little confidence of thoughtful -physicians in them as a whole. - -Various medical associations, pharmaceutical associations, and nearly -every journal allied to medicine and the drug trade decried the use -of hand-me-downs. The committee on revision of the N. F. immediately -offered us a number of preparations of varying merit, that were not -even good substitutes for the above, and these I have understood at the -suggestion of some physicians. - -Glycerinated Elix. Gentian, if made according to formula, with its -excessive amount of solution of saccharine and its repulsively -excessive amount of acetic ether, would never supplant the preparation -it was intended to take the place of. - -Pulv. Acetanilid Comp. is as dangerous a heart depressent as the -nostrum it was supposed to displace. - -We were told that Lactopeptine was too expensive to use as a vehicle, -and was worth not a continental medicinally; that Pancreatin and -diastase were destroyed by Pepsin in the presence of an acid; besides, -after the chemists of the A. M. A. were through their analysis, they -found there was so little Pepsin that it was scarcely worth mentioning, -but if the doctor wanted a good pharmaceutical we could supply Pulv. -Pepsin Comp. or Elix. Digestive Comp., either just as good, not quite -so expensive, and certainly would do no more harm. Associations printed -proprietaries and substitutes side by side and launched this matter as -a propaganda of education for the physicians; material that filled no -void, supplied no deficiency and appealed to many only as a means to -increased profit. - -That some physicians did prescribe was only because they had more -confidence in the druggists as compounders of the above preparations -than they had in the manufacturers of the nostrum; because they were -friendly enough with the individual druggist to open an opportunity -for a little better profit; because they thought their patients would -be more economically handled; but had the revisionists advanced a few -scientific combinations, elegant pharmaceuticals or easily prepared -chemicals, they would have given the druggist better material for -propaganda work and appealing agents to most physicians. It was, -however, to a certain extent a wasted effort, lacking in conception, -devoid of originality and decidedly wanting in producing lasting -results. So much for some of the contributing causes. - -_Now for the effect._ Business conditions have undoubtedly changed. -This applies not only to the drug business, but to every line of trades -or professions. - -Our good old friend, the family doctor, has felt the effects of the -surgeon, the specialist, the hospital, the dispensary. - -Lawyers, the effect of the title guarantee companies and syndicated law. - -The dry goods and notion business has been revolutionized into -department stores. - -The horse dealers, horseshoers and carriage builders must feel the -introduction of the motor vehicle. - -Laborers have felt the innovation of the steam shovel, etc. - -I could go on almost indefinitely, but these changed conditions are the -outcome of science or commercialism, and are inevitable. Now, what is -the remedy? I had intended to say nothing on this subject, as it would -make quite an interesting paper or be food for animated discussion, but -a short consideration of this text is so intimately associated with -the subject under discussion that it seems particularly well timed. -We are on the eve of still another “crisis”--a “crisis” that partly -answers the question, “What is the remedy?” and a close investigation -will discover that a pronounced reaction is setting in against many of -the products of the laboratory physicians and the faddists who have led -their more gullible fellow-practitioners to adopt their experimental -novelties and reluctantly have found that practicing medicine without -the materia medica is like playing Hamlet without the Melancholy Dane. - -The reckless use of biological products, vaccines, etc., is even -now being severely handled by both medical and lay journals, and as -interesting reading I would call your attention to two articles, one a -serious editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association -under date of February 22, 1913, page 602, entitled “Phylacogens,” -and the other in a lighter vein, entitled “Medicine,” by Cobb, in the -Saturday Evening Post of November 30, 1912. - -The man who seeks the little things generally gets the little sought; -the man who hunts big game, and is persistent, most often makes a good -bag, but the old adage, “Everything comes to him who waits,” may have -applied years ago, but many theories and much fact disprove it now. -There are still going to be sick people to prescribe for and doctors -to do the prescribing. Someone must fill the prescriptions. Who is -it to be? It is going to be the man who can shape and mold himself -to conditions as they arise. Most doctors are your friends. Even -now the ties are becoming more firmly cemented. He is dependent on -you to a certain extent. Be fair with him, and he will in most cases -reciprocate. And last, but not least, just for a suggestion, lend your -aid to some concerted action to control the dispensary evil by having -all applicants for treatment first obtain pauper cards from the Police -Department or Federal Charities, then see that the dispensing doctor -is placed on an equal business footing with you, have him pay his -legitimate taxes on his stock, take out a traders’ license, let the -drug inspector examine his stock for purity and potency, and finally, -see if there is not some way of reaching the gentlemen, for to my -mind a physician has no greater right to practice pharmacy without -registration than a druggist has to prescribe. - -Pharmacy is a profession of the highest order, a sort of composite -type, requiring the manipulative skill of the mechanic with the -technical knowledge of the professional man, and demanding above all -other professions at all times a clear head and an immediate and -scrupulous knowledge of your subject. There is no profession where -demands are so exacting and mistakes more consequential. - -Still you have seen your profession tossed and buffeted about like a -ship on a stormy sea. You have had your honesty questioned by a certain -class of physicians when it suited their purpose; you have been called -substitutors in patent medicine literature and advertisements; you have -stood endless vilification from one source or another and retained a -calm, dispassionate silence, an indifference so intense as to become -startling in its apparent acquiescence. - -Can you blame the public for believing some of the things said about -you when not so much as a word of defense or a syllable of protest is -offered in rebuttal? - -As individuals you can protect yourself but feebly and accomplish -but little; united you must be a power. Every one of you wields an -influence, great or small, that in the aggregate will well be worth -catering to, if you work as a unit. You have it within your power to do -much of mutual benefit if, as a body, you work toward a common goal. -Decide in meetings on that which is best; start with a thorough plan; -play politics, if necessary, but that politics that knows no party but -the one that is willing to prove your friend and help you realize your -needs. All the resolutions passed, all the enthusiasm demonstrated in -your meetings will amount to nothing and you will revert into a mutual -admiration society unless followed up by every ounce of alertness, -activity and aggressiveness that your various committees and your -massed membership can summon to their aid. Yours is a worthy cause; one -that demands justice and equity, and in all fairness to yourselves, you -want to enter it with that energy that brings success. You can remain -passive no longer; you must be up and doing and your rights cannot be -denied you if your demands are honorable, just and consistent, and I am -sure they will be. - -Every letter, magazine article and trade journal containing short -essays from druggists scattered the length and breadth of this great -land of ours sound the same note, strike the same chord, and are united -in one grand chorus of perfect harmony the summary of whose song is -“Corrective Laws and Unity.” - -Our great trouble seems to be that we lack union and concerted action -on important matters. Laws are enacted and enforced by every line of -tradesmen, mechanics, professional men, and even laborers, protecting -their individual interests, and which we all must live up to, whether -we consider them fair or unfair. - -Your plumbing must be done by none, however skilled, but a registered -plumber, and the law is positive. Arguments before your law courts can -be conducted by no one, no matter how able, unless he be a registered -lawyer, and the law is definite. No one dares to practice medicine -who is unregistered, and the law is explicit, but where do the rights -of the pharmacist begin and where do they end? The unrestrained and -indiscriminate sale of medicines by department stores, the corner -grocery, patent medicine shops and what not, whose proprietors are not -only unregistered, but whose only knowledge is to handle it like the -rest of the merchandise they sell, without any restriction, makes us -feel like we wasted time in becoming registered at all. - -Is antikamnia more potent when dispensed as a prescription than -antikamnia sold in 25-cent boxes by department stores? - -Does paregoric sold on a doctor’s prescription require greater -technical skill in handling than that sold in 5-cent and 10-cent -bottles at the corner grocery? - -Does the strength, purity or therapeutic value of tablets of asperin, -calomel or pills of quinine dispensed by the druggist on prescription -vary from those peddled by the dry goods stores in 100 lots? - -Does the registration of pharmacists mean simply a guarantee of -competency to fill prescriptions? - -Should drugs of a questionable degree of potency be given -indiscriminately to the public, without someone who understands them to -either recommend or advise against their use? - -Is not the competition waged in the traffic of medicines to an -irresponsible public by houses without registered proprietors in -fact considered in an entirely different line of business, as much a -hardship to the big druggist as to the little man, simply a question of -proportion, and if continued must mean but one thing, “the survival of -the fittest?” - -Suppose we turn from drugs and chemicals to other forms of medication. -What protection have any of you? Only very recently one of the large -general merchants advertised vaccine virus, and actually vaccinated his -customers. - -But the druggist lies supinely by, with scarcely a murmur of protest, -while National, State and Municipal laws are made for him. Laws -that are definite, made to prosecute, to handle him criminally and -contemptuously; that afford no protection, allow not the slightest -leeway, are as fragile as glass apparently for others, but for him as -unyielding and inflexible as steel, and as positive as the Decalogue; -made by men who have no practical knowledge of the business, know -little, and inform themselves less on the matter they are legislating. -Why does the druggist submit? Has he become callous through long -exposure to this condition? Does he hope to win his immortal crown -through his great humility and patience, or does he accept as a fact -that he is following a well-defined precedent, for as far back as -Shakespeare’s time we find Romeo saying to the apothecary: - - “Upon thy back hangs ragged misery. - The world is not thy friend, nor the world’s law. - The world affords no law to make thee rich; - Then be not poor, but break it, and take this, etc.” - -But, unlike Romeo, I advise obedience and respect for the laws you -have. Make the best of them until such time may arrive when we can -demand equitable treatment; when you will live under laws formulated by -yourselves; when your laws protect, and do not discriminate or oppress; -when the dignity of pharmacy is akin, at least, to other professions. -It may be at a distance, but the longest road oft-times has many short -cuts, so it is with you now to take the initiatory step, for, as the -saying goes, “Something attempted, something done,” any movement toward -a realization of our ideals should be eagerly sought and accepted. - -You have the blood and sinews of the drug trade of the town among -you. As an association, don’t follow the paths of your predecessors. -Establish an individuality by doing things differently from others. -Let every man pledge his moral, and, if necessary, his financial -support, and stick to it. Let us prepare a new path and tempt -Opportunity, and when that great, but elusive and fickle dame, should -appear, make her welcome so sincere and royal that the good lady would -not deign to leave. - -Unite in your efforts; combine in your legislative matters, combine -on educational features; combine on social relations; combine on -grievances; combine with your ways and means committee. We have a -common cause to work for. Every man is as vitally interested as the -other, and has as much at stake, HIS ALL. And I am sure by unity -of action on matters well discussed in meetings, much of material -advantage can be accomplished, and before the sun sets on many another -year many trade defect will be on a fair way to be remedied, and what -now appear to be breakers ahead will subside, calmed by the oil of -Prosperity, to make easy sailing for the Good Old Ship Contentment. - -[Illustration: A MODERN FOUNTAIN--SIMPLE AND INVITING.

SIGGINS - -_Proceedings of Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association._ - - -I am not a physician, I am even ignorant of the simplest forms of -disease which many druggists are familiar with, and my excuse for the -ignorance is, that I have studiously avoided that line of study, that I -might have less incentive for the so-called art of counter prescribing. - -But if I am weak in the knowledge of disease, I hope I have not spent -thirty years behind the drug counter without using my faculties of -observation, and in as short a time as possible, I wish to register my -emphatic objection to the further open sale and use of the coal tar -derivatives, and I follow with my reasons. - -My first notice of their danger was brought to me 25 years ago, in the -early days of Acetanilid, by a physician, who gave large doses, and was -enthusiastic over the results, and saw no harm in its use. A few months -later I noticed that the doses had been cut down 65 per cent., and I -enquired the cause. “Well,” says he, “I nearly killed half a dozen of -my best friends, and I thought it time to stop.” - -As the years rolled on, scarcely a month passed by, but what some -incident occurred that told me we have admitted into common use the -most dangerous drugs ever placed upon the pages of our text books. I -have taken 2½ grain doses of acetphenetidin with salol at various times -for colds and rheumatism, and thought for years that it did me no harm, -but now I am reluctantly compelled to acknowledge the contrary. For -after two or three days’ use, with a dosage of 2½ grains three or four -times a day I find myself almost completely benumbed and heart action -very weak. And as I recall it I have always had these symptoms, though -less pronounced, and yet it has taken years, with all my knowledge of -the drug, to tumble to its viciousness. A physician very near to me, -commenced using the same drug in small doses and in a short time could -take as high as one dram, but he has quit. Here are the two extremes in -dosage. - -Another physician gave a colored woman the well-known mixture of soda -acetanilid and caffeine and in a short time she was consuming one ounce -every two weeks. The physician and woman are both dead. - -Still another M. D. who dispensed about 1000 3½ grain acetanilid -tablets per month, died with a bad heart. I do not know how many of -them he took himself, but I have always had my convictions, and I am -reasonably certain that he died without blaming the acetanilid for -his condition. Our sales for one year covering our retail trade and -a wholesale account of about 100 physicians totals 100,000 tablets -containing some one of the coal tar products. The patent headache -and pain remedies, estimated in ten cent packages, total 4000 and -the cold cures 700 boxes, while the bulk goods, covering acetanilid, -acetphenetidin, hexamethylene, sulfonal, trional, veronal, reaches 15 -pounds. The profit on these goods should run about $400, but the public -is welcome to our part of it, if they will let coal tar alone, either -voluntarily or by compulsion. Now then, with these figures before us, -and with the facts plainly evident to druggist or physician who uses -any powers of discernment, what chance have the common people against -the wiles of the impertinent manufacturer who repeatedly advertises, -“Perfectly Harmless.” - -I must now give you the cases which aroused in me the antagonism to the -open sale of all remedies which contain any coal tar derivative, no -matter how strongly fortified with correctives. - -A close friend of mine had a young son come down with a cold, the -physician prescribed twenty powders, two grains each of acetphenetidin. -Some time after this, the box came back for a refill. I said to Jones, -“Does the Doctor want you to have these again?” He replied that he -did. This happened several times in the course of a few years, and -the boy became old enough to come to the store himself on errands, -and I could not help noticing how white and pale he was, and finally -it dawned on me what ailed that boy. I went to Jones and said to him, -“While it is none of my business, I want to tell you with all the force -possible, to quit killing that boy.” “Well,” he says, “I told my wife -what you said, and she replied, That she guessed the Doctor knew as -much as I did about it, so he had dropped it, but now I believe you -are right, and those powders stop right here.” The boy today is a fine -strapping rosy-cheeked youth. A young man of this town, a perfect giant -in strength, who could pick up my 175 pounds and throw me over his -head, became addicted to the use of one of our popular effervescent -preparations for headache. Some time after he commenced using it, I -began to warn him against the frequent dosage, till he almost quit -coming to our counter, not relishing my “preaching,” as he styled it. -I saw him, however, at all the other stores in town, and knew that he -was using it regularly. Several years passed, and some prescriptions -containing heart remedies were ordered sent to this man, later a nurse -was called. I asked the physician “What ails Brown?” “Heart trouble,” -says he, I told him what I knew, and he thanked me, not knowing the -cause. - -In a few days this perfect specimen of physical manhood died,--died in -the prime of life, and with a strength that not one man in 10,000 ever -attains, died because we men, druggists, doctors, and scientists have -been so slow to recognize the slow, sneaking, insidious character of -these vicious remedies. No one can make me believe, when I pick up the -morning paper and read the same old story day after day, “that Jones -dropped dead in Texas, Smith in Maine and Black in California,” that -Coal Tar was not at the bottom of 90 per cent. of them. - -For my part I am in this fight to stay, I have decreased our sales all -of one-half, by my own warnings against their use. - -But how much avail am I to the ignorant young rounder, who comes out -of a night’s debauch with a big head, and who still half drunk wanders -from drug store to drug store and asks for his effervescent? No one -guilty because the busy clerk or proprietor did not know that he had -had another just 5 minutes previous. With all this knowledge before me -I have been guilty of openly pushing the sale by the distribution of -literature lauding these remedies, but no more for me. - -And I ask my brother druggists not to put out any advertising which may -contain on one of its pages a recommendation for a coal tar remedy. I -also hope to soon see upon the statutes of every State a law similar to -the one concerning Cocaine of our own State. - -For I maintain that Opium or Cocaine are not one-half so deadly as -Coal Tar, for while they openly show what they can do, the other works -silently till the end is near. For our part, we have quit putting up a -remedy of our own, and I have in mind the adoption of a label, to go on -the outside of all packages sold, to read something like this: - -“All remedies containing acetanilid, acetphenetidin or like product of -coal tar are dangerous, and should be used with caution, in extreme -cases only, and never habitually.” Considering the effect on myself, -on the people I have sold to, the evidence of many physicians who have -found out the pernicious effects and have felt themselves compelled -to abandon or modify its use, I venture the opinion that, while it is -bad medicine for any one for regular use, on those who are extremely -susceptible to it, it soon vitiates the blood, and deprives them of -their full powers of resistance, when sudden shock or disease o’er -takes them. - -Gentlemen, if by the reading of this paper, I have converted one person -to my point of view I shall feel amply rewarded for the hours spent in -its preparation. - - - - -PAT’S INDIGNATION. - - -Patrick, lately over, was working in the yards of a railroad. One -day he happened to be in the yard office when the force was out. The -telephone rang vigorously several times, and he at last decided it -ought to be answered.

Not alone is it concerned with medicine and -pharmacy, but it has performed a most important service in engineering -projects of world-wide importance. It may be truthfully said that this -discovery and those it led up to, made possible the building of the -Panama Canal. - -It was a most important factor in bringing victory to Japan and defeat -to Russia. - -It is banishing pestilence from its breeding places everywhere, and -no department of life, either animal or vegetable, is beyond its -influence. It has placed the practice of medicine upon a scientific -basis, and inaugurated the era of preventive medicine. The day of -curative measures, with which we are most familiar, is passing. In most -of the cities and large communities of the world, Public Hygiene has -become a very important department of government. Observe our own city -of Philadelphia; we have there the largest water purification plant in -existence. Its effect, in that city is to reduce the number of typhoid -fever cases 80 per cent. of the former total, and perhaps 100 per cent. -of the water borne typhoid, peculiar to the Philadelphia water supply. -A case of typhoid fever commonly runs three months. In money it is -worth from fifty to one hundred dollars to the attending physician, -perhaps half of that to the druggist. - -A similar change has taken place concerning diphtheria. Anti-toxin and -treatment are supplied to the patient at the expense of the communities -in by far the greater number of cases. - -Smallpox is practically unknown, for similar reasons. - -Bacterins as prophylactic measures against typhoid, and a number of -other diseases, are coming into increased usefulness. - -Chemo Therapy. The latest advance has done astounding things. With one -treatment of 606, Salvarsan, specific disease disappears to return no -more. At least it seems so at this early date. - -Much is promised from the same source in the eradication of cancer. - -Leprosy, incurable, from remote antiquity, seems about to succumb to -the new enlightenment. - -The extermination of tuberculosis is within hailing distance. And -so on through the whole catalogue of ills that plagued the people, -unrestrained, less than 30 years ago. - -The transcendental discovery of Dr. Koch, that has made possible all -of these wonders, and many others beside, and others yet to come, is -the simple fact that microscopic organisms grow in pure culture, upon -a piece of boiled potato. This is the corner-stone upon which has -been built the whole science of modern Bacteriology. With these facts -confronting us and others of like nature to follow, we naturally turn -to inquire what effect these changes are likely to exert upon the -practice of pharmacy. - -Every pharmacist has observed the greatly increased development of the -commercial side of the drug business as compared with its scientific -side, which rather seems to be accorded a secondary place in the -conduct of its affairs, regardless of the fact that this feature is the -one that gives it character, and the only one that distinguishes it -from ordinary merchandising. - -Thirty years ago the physicians whom we knew were high-minded, -dignified gentlemen, who held the ethics of their profession in such -esteem that they scorned to violate them. We could not imagine any of -those, passing out a handful of tablets to an office patient for a -fifty-cent fee. And yet the man of today who practices medicine under -such conditions is to be condemned no more than his predecessors are -to be condemned, because each of them is a product of the conditions -of his day. Truly the change is to be deplored and the remedy is not -yet ready. Thus we have a dreary spectacle, the most noble calling on -God’s green foot-stool, degraded, through its commercial side, into -a mad competition for existence. There are some other causes, beside -those noted, that contribute to the same effect, such as increased -numbers of individuals practicing both medicine and pharmacy. The later -causes, however, are self-limiting and not necessarily fatal to the -calling as a business proposition, whereas, with preventive measures -well established, it is plain to all that both the practice of medicine -and pharmacy as now conducted, will come to their end. - -This does not mean that both doctors and druggists will disappear -completely, but it certainly means that a new order of things is upon -the threshold. - -This is the year Nineteen-Hundred and Thirteen. - -Between the years 1922 and 1932 we may expect to have established a -National Board of Health, with a chief officer in the cabinet and an -organization similar to that of the Army, in which every physician and -every pharmacist will be an officer of the United States Government. -Those physicians, under the new order, who remain in the office -awaiting the call of the sick will be comparatively few in number. -The remainder will be out in the broad domain of practical Hygiene. -Every factory, farm, field, forest, stream, mines, and what not, -will then come under the watchful eye of this new Army which, with -all of the wisdom of science, will guard the health of the country, -if anything, more zealously than it is guarded against foreign foes. -Every occupational disease will be banished, every case of communicable -disease will be promptly isolated. - -The men who are to perform this service will be the doctors and -druggists of today who survive at that time, together with those who -shall be hereafter graduated in those professions; not that all of -these men are at present fitted for this work, but their training and -experience make them the most available. - -They will, however, be subjected to periodic examinations that shall -determine their advance and pay, and each one will gravitate into the -place that best suits his capacity. - -The pay of these men will be suitable to the dignity of their calling, -certainly not less than that of a lieutenant in the United States Army. - -Under this new order the people will receive their medicine and medical -treatment upon the same plan that they now receive their public school -education. - -To the incredulous, it may be said that the people of Philadelphia -alone spend annually fifteen millions of dollars for medical treatment -and medicine. Under the new system the cost would be less than half of -that sum, and the people will receive better attention than at present. - -Schools of medicine and pharmacy will be government institutions, as -are West Point and Annapolis, and their various laboratories will be -the main centres from which the operations of this Hygienic Army shall -be directed. - -To the incredulous, again, it may be said, these conditions are coming, -not because they are being sought, nor even desired, but they will be -thrust upon us through the force of economic necessity. - - - - -UNITED DRUG COMPANY CONTROLS GUTH PRODUCTS. - - -The United Drug Company, of Boston, has acquired control of the Guth -Chocolate Company. The Guth Company makes several confectionery brands. -It is stated that the United Drug Company now controls the Liggett -and Daggett candy companies and these will be combined with the Guth -Company into the United Candy Company. - -The United Drug Company will shortly open in the new Grand Central -station in New York what is advertised to be the largest drug store in -the world, the fixtures alone costing between $75,000 and $80,000. The -United Drug Company operates about fifty-five drug stores and sells -goods in about 5500 stores throughout the country. - -As indicating the growth of this company’s business, it is stated -that nearly one million square feet of space is now utilized for -manufacturing purposes.--_Printers’ Ink._ - - - - -New Stores and Their Owners - - -Dr. J.

It is a mighty -poor window that a national advertiser will not jump at the chance to -decorate for you. The chances are that nearly every retail druggist -in the South has one very good window.

For a number of years all of the best men of the graduating -class have been engaged long before they had completed their course in -college, the medium grade men have been easily placed, and even the -poorest students have had little difficulty in getting fair positions -and holding them. The only men who have had any great difficulty in -securing satisfactory berths have been those who have been too lazy -to work, or who have had other traits of general character that no -employer would wish in any of his employes. Never in the history -of the College has there been a better demand for first-class men, -and it is doubtful if there ever has been a time when there were so -few good men available. Despite the pessimism that exists in the -minds of some people as to lack of opportunity for a young man to -advance in pharmacy, it is a fact that there are still many excellent -opportunities for those who are ambitious enough to fit themselves for -good positions. There is no room in any business for the shiftless and -lazy.--_Bulletin of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy._ - - - - -ALABAMA BOARD OF PHARMACY. - - -The Alabama Board of Pharmacy does not recognize diplomas from any -college of pharmacy or medicine.

The mere sight of a spring usually -makes us thirsty at once, no matter how recently we may have filled up -on tap water or well water. - -No little of the charm of the soda fountain is due to the rush and -bubble hissing and swirling and foaming into the glass. And who can -tell how much of the fatal seductiveness of equally effervescent but -less innocent beverages, with their crimson sparkle or creamy foam, -or “purple bubbles winking on the brim,” may be due to their hypnotic -appeal to our fascinated eye, as we “look upon the wine when it is red, -when it moveth itself aright?” - -Certain it is that the most popular and irresistible liquors, from -lowly lager to lordly champagne, are those that sparkle and foam and -bite, with the keen, fresh tang of carbonic acid gas. Even whiskey -has to be mixed with something sparkling, “soda” or “Polly,” in order -to make it attractive to the eye or even to the palate, except of the -educated or jaded minority. - -No small amount of the charm of “fizzy” drinks, whether innocent or -hurtful, lies in the “fizz.” The motto, “All fizz abandon, ye who enter -here!” over the door of every saloon and bar, if enforced, would well -nigh sound the death knell of drunkenness.--_Woods Hutchinson, A.
