In addition to the financial reira tmrsement brought by travel to any lo cality of good roads it is an unqnes tionable fact that the residents prort largely by their own ability to get tn and from business centers when otb.v sections are tied up because of the in: jassability of the highways.

The Kind of - - Frames Tho Adulteration of Drugs. j In the new code of medical ethics , prepared by the committee of the American Medical association and adopted at the recent New Orleans meeting the following paragraph touches a matter of vital public In terest: Any drugjrfst or pharmacist who dis penses deteriorated or sophisticated drugs or who substitutes one remedy for an other designated In a prescription ought therein- to forfeit the recognition and ln- of I tluence of physicians. I The language is very guarded, as iay be expected in the deliberations of a body of scientific professionals. It remains for the press and the public to heed the warning and make it effective. The substitution and deterioration of drugs intended for medical remedies are as common as the adulteration of diean food stuffs and alcoholic liquors.

The pleasure of riding over good. firm, smooth country roads is greatly increased when the trees, shrubbery and general roadside appearances are pleasant to look at and cool and invit ing to the eye. That there are an art .and a science in roadside treatment is made very apparent by experiment made in New England.

For him it is a matter of vital interest and It may be of life and death.

Stringent j laws are needed. The average citizen in search of a remedy Is willing to pay ' any price for the right thing. Disputa- , tions as to price are exceedingly rare ! in the retail dispensaries. Customers j expect to pay well for quality, and hav ing paid well should receive the good. Some of the substitutes in common us in the retail drag stores arc of a char acter to defeat the purpose of the phy sician, baffle his judgment and confuse him as to results, negative or positive. as may happen. The remedy for the existing condition of affairs In the retail drug trade lies X Iarsely with physicians. They can &iJg&Lr2& hrresk un the vicious practice of sub- ?1a3S5 stitution if they will act as vigorously through their local, county and state societies as the gravity of the fraud warrants.
