UECOMES SICK ON PURPOSE Employed by Company to Test Cura the Power of Medicine. There is a man living In a Boston BUburb who make himself sick In a variety of ways In order that he may test the healing powers of tho medi cines manufactured by the company which employes him. Instead of being a shaky wreck from constant Indulgence In foods taken purposely to provoke disorders this vindicator of infants soothing sirups, headache cures, Indigestion medicines and cold cures is hale and hearty, a stout German, past middle age, of a studious and phlegmatic temperament. His office Is one of the best of all at the headquarters of tho company that employs him. There are oil paintings, soft carpets and Turkish 'rugs; ho has a library of medical volumes, windows filled with flowers and a profusion of bottles, glasses and crucibles distributed In the apartment. Has Variety of Duties. He has a variety of duties. Ac cording to the Boston Herald he sits In a draught or wanders about coat less to entice a cold and then doses Mnnlf with cold cures. He con tra n. violent herdarlio In order to try tho cfllcacy of a headache cure which is to bo put on tho market. He acquires the hcadacho by con centrating his mind so closely upon one subject that at the end of a few hours the nervous strain produces tho pains In the head he has set out to obtain. Then lie takes a dose of the ni"dlplne that Is being experi mented with and watches results carefully, noting every effect In a book in order to make Ills report on It. Often ho lias to contract aches that aren't headaches. It may be that a new medicine is to bo brought out for Indigestion or tho scores of disorders resulting from dyspepsia. The manufacturers desire to make a practical test of the formula of their own satisfactlop. Tho German tester goes to a restaurant late In the ovening and gives an order thnt makes tho waiter's eves bulge. Meal of mi Ostrich. "I eat a lobster salad, then drink milk, which is usually prohibited with such a salad," ho says cheer fully in telling about it. "To make It more certain I have vinegar mixed with tho milk and ' fdllow It all with a Welsh rarebit. After that that tho only thing I have to do It wait for the resluts. "They are usually not long in com ing. Soon I have violent pains In the chest, a fenllng as of a heavy weight lying upon it, with sharp pains sjioot Ing across my body every second; Of course It is agony while it endures, lint I tnke a dose of tho remedy to rc liovo it. "If It gives mo relief I note nil the circumstances of inv sensations to tho minutest detail and if it doesn't I do tho same. You havo no conception of what a delightful feeling It is to ex perience tho contrast of intenso pain and quick relief. I know that feeling woll." There are from sovonty-five to 100 drugs mentioned In materia medlca for disorders of indigestion and the Gorman tester has tried them all. Some of the things he has to do would mnko an ordinarily courageous man look about for tho cyclono collar. He Is Skillful CheniM. For an eyewash ho haR more than once thrown sand Into his ojeg to .produce Itidqmatton in order to test the wnsh as to its relief-giving pro perties. Tie oven imagines himself a baby necaslonallv in order to try the Infants' medicines. IIo drugs him self bv compounding n sleeping po tion of Infants' soothing sirup. "You may say," he explains, 'th.it in i n use a thing soothes mo It does not necessarily follow that it would soothe a baby. Nevertheless, my results have Invariably proved that what was good for me was good for the Infant, but, of course, In milder doses. "You see, we can not get a baby to experiment on, even If we desired one, which we don't. A baby could not tell Its sensations or Impressions after it took the medicine, which is necessary to the success of tho ex periments." The man who voluntarily submits to "trying it on the dog" is not at all a dense animal, so robust that noth ing can harm him, and willing from Ignorance to sacrifice himself In this' strange way. Ho Is himself a chem ist, a skillful one." Why He Accepted Job. That makes him all the more valu able, as he can record with accuracy U the sensations before and after tak ing a medicine and the results ob tained. And, of course, he knows quite well the properties of each remedy he takes, what Its effect should be, how great a dose Is re quired and how violent his ailment is. How came such a man to embrace an occupation that carries with it bo many disagreeable features? Htfwlll tell you himself that before he got his present berth he was a wreck, a victim of chronic indigestion, a wast ed shadow of the man he had been In early youth. , "I have been In the manufacturing drug business myself for twenty seven years," he says. "But things went wrong my health gave out, my stomach was gone and soon I had not even employment. "It was then that I conceived the plan of offerings myself as a subject for experiment to the manufacturers t of proprietary medicines. The first to whom I applied said that he would , be glad to obtain such a man who had a knowledge of chemistry and that It was a great difficulty to find him. i "I at once offered myself and have been with the firm ever since. That was some years ago and you can see for yourself what excellent health I ' am In now." OUTSIDE MARKETS: - V Liverpool, April 20. May wheat, 6b 5d. New York, April 20.
