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. He walked over to the instrument, took down the -receiver, and put his mouth to the transmitter, just as he had seen -others do. - -“Hillo!” he called. - -“Hello!” answered the voice at the other end of the line. “Is this -eight-six-one-five-nine?” - -“Aw, g’wan! Phwat d’ ye t’ink I am? A box car?”--_Exchange._ - - - - -The Future of Pharmacy in Relation to the Modern Development of Medicine - -By WILLIAM G. TOPLIS - -_Proceedings of Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association._ - - -The year Eighteen Hundred and Eighty-one is destined to become known -in medical and pharmaceutical history as the beginning of the most -revolutionary epoch in all of the experience of those branches of -endeavor. - -That year brought forth a discovery whose importance is not yet -generally recognized. 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.

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.

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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span></p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<h3>THE COMMERCIAL SIDE.</h3> - -<p>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.”</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>Pulv. Acetanilid Comp. is as dangerous a -heart depressent as the nostrum it was supposed -to displace.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p><i>Now for the effect.</i> Business conditions -have undoubtedly changed. This applies not -only to the drug business, but to every line -of trades or professions.</p> - -<p>Our good old friend, the family doctor, has -felt the effects of the surgeon, the specialist, -the hospital, the dispensary.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span></p> - -<p>Lawyers, the effect of the title guarantee -companies and syndicated law.</p> - -<p>The dry goods and notion business has -been revolutionized into department stores.</p> - -<p>The horse dealers, horseshoers and carriage -builders must feel the introduction -of the motor vehicle.</p> - -<p>Laborers have felt the innovation of the -steam shovel, etc.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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?</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.”</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>Is antikamnia more potent when dispensed -as a prescription than antikamnia sold -in 25-cent boxes by department stores?</p> - -<p>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?</p> - -<p>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?</p> - -<p>Does the registration of pharmacists mean -simply a guarantee of competency to fill -prescriptions?</p> - -<p>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?</p> - -<p>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?”</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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:</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span></p> - -<div class="poetry-container"> -<div class="poetry"> -<div class="verse">“Upon thy back hangs ragged misery.</div> -<div class="verse">The world is not thy friend, nor the world’s law.</div> -<div class="verse">The world affords no law to make thee rich;</div> -<div class="verse">Then be not poor, but break it, and take this, etc.”</div> -</div> -</div> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> - -<img src="images/illus1.jpg" width="500" height="400" alt="" /> - -<p class="caption">A MODERN FOUNTAIN—SIMPLE AND INVITING.

M. Siggins</span></p> - -<p class="center"><i>Proceedings of Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical -Association.</i></p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.”</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.”</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.

Toplis</span></p> - -<p class="center"><i>Proceedings of Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical -Association.</i></p> - -<p>The year Eighteen Hundred and Eighty-one -is destined to become known in medical -and pharmaceutical history as the beginning -of the most revolutionary epoch in all of -the experience of those branches of endeavor.</p> - -<p>That year brought forth a discovery -whose importance is not yet generally recognized. -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.</p> - -<p>It was a most important factor in bringing -victory to Japan and defeat to Russia.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>Smallpox is practically unknown, for similar -reasons.</p> - -<p>Bacterins as prophylactic measures -against typhoid, and a number of other diseases, -are coming into increased usefulness.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>Much is promised from the same source -in the eradication of cancer.</p> - -<p>Leprosy, incurable, from remote antiquity, -seems about to succumb to the new enlightenment.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>This is the year Nineteen-Hundred and -Thirteen.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h2>UNITED DRUG COMPANY CONTROLS -GUTH PRODUCTS.</h2> - -<p>The United Drug Company, of Boston, -has acquired control of the Guth Chocolate -Company.

Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To -SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any -particular state visit http://pglaf.org - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. -To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate - - -Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic -works. - -Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm -concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared -with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project -Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. - - -Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed -editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. -unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily -keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. - - -Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: - - http://www.gutenberg.org - -This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. - - -</pre> - -</body> -</html> diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/ad-candy.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/ad-candy.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 0067c4e..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/ad-candy.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/ad-catnip.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/ad-catnip.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 1cabf55..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/ad-catnip.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/ad-coke.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/ad-coke.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 89f4db5..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/ad-coke.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/ad-horse.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/ad-horse.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 6d2215b..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/ad-horse.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/ad-opportunityknocks.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/ad-opportunityknocks.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 022b9a3..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/ad-opportunityknocks.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/ad-torsion.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/ad-torsion.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 295d5ed..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/ad-torsion.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/border-round-corners.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/border-round-corners.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 499af1b..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/border-round-corners.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/border-square-corners.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/border-square-corners.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 68523e1..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/border-square-corners.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 17ed44c..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/cover.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/dropcap-t.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/dropcap-t.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index b414143..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/dropcap-t.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/illus1.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/illus1.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 51cedf0..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/illus1.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/52969-h/images/illus2.jpg b/old/52969-h/images/illus2.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 4f5534d..0000000 --- a/old/52969-h/images/illus2.jpg +++ /dev/null |
