THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW BY A. W. MARKLE Publtihed Every Friday At 117 West Burllnjrton Stroot. Shoes at Handsome Savings Clean-up for winter stocks, to make way for Spring Weights offer many inducements to those who need these necessities. ThK RRVIKW is entered nt post office in Saint Johns, Oregon, as tnnll matter of the second class under the Act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. Official Kiwiptptr of th City of It.

Physicians in the state of Wisconsin are up in arms over the eugenic marriage law re cently passed by their legisla ture, which calls for a certifi cate of perfect health from the contracting parties before they can secure a license to wed. The pill distributors in that neck o' the woods declare that the fee of $3 for examination, the price fixed by the new bill, is insufll cient for the service required. While we do not believe that ev ery man and woman who desire to enter into matrimonial bliss should be compelled to pass an examination as all around ath letes, yet it is highly imperative for the good ol luture genera tions that none but persons good health should be allowed to bring children into the world It is not. of course, the fault a couple that they fall in love, nor is it, perhaps, the fault of either that they arc not blesse with perfect health, but it is, or should unquestionably be, a grave burden upon the conscience both when they. do not sacrifice their mutual affection for the sake of the unborn, who, when produced by invalid' parents must invariably go through life handicapped by ill health or fee be minds. Here, again. whore the physicians of Wiscon sin have a chance to swing their hammers, for if none but hen thy offsprings arc brought fort the medical profession would go into tho has-been column before the dawn of another era. probn b y. '1 here are numerous cases however, wherein the children of organically diseased parents have been born absolutely un contaminated, and on tho other hand there are innumerable off springs of apparently physically and mentally perfect parents Who have come into existence doformed, weak-minded ant delicate in health, but tho chnnccs are all in favor of the latter, and for this reason the bi enacted bv the leiris ature Wisconsin is undoubtedly a gooil one, and should become a mi tionnl law. . . ... Smallpox Remedy Tho following smallpox remedy wns given to the public by a cor respondent of the Stockton, Unl. Herald, who says: "i herewith append a recipe which has been used to my Knowledge in hundreds or cases It will prevent or cure smallpox though the pittings are filling. It will also cure scarlet fever Here is tho recipe as I have used it to euro smallpox, when learn cd physicians said the pntien must die, it cured, viz: Sulphate of zinc, one grain. Foxglove, digitnliB, ono grain Half a teaspoon Jul of sugar. Mix with two teaspoonfuls o water. When thoroughly mixed add four ounces of water. Dose Take a teaspoonful every hour. Either disease will disappear ii twelvo hours. For a child, smaller doses ac cording to age. If countries would compel physicians to use this, thoro would bo no need of pest houses. If you value ad vice and experience, use this for that terrib e disease. Ono nor son says: It is as unfailing as fate." Me You upbraid 1110 fur losing 111011 T on tlio ruccs you?
