Louis, Mo.) No honest proprietary medicine man ttfeoturer can with reason object to a foil and fair (Mseuseien ef tke prin ciples on whisk his business in founded, or of the merits or demerits of his pan tlcular preparations. If the business M a wholo, or if m; particular prepa ration MMit withstand discussion and investigation, the foundation on which it is built is fait, ad it deserves to fall. We submit, however, that the attacks ob this lnMstry that b&ve recently ap pcareI in Oelllor's Weekly, the Ladle ' Home Journal, ami oho or two ether publications, have not only not been Air, but on the contrary havo been insidious, misleading and doboptivo. X" tbo liadloft' Home Journal of Septem ber, or instant, a full page of its val uable space is devoted to tbo oxplolta tlon of tbo ovlls of palont modielaos, and groat premtaoneo is given, to aa il luitrntlon which protonds to show "Hew patent medicines will Intra" There Is a. half-tea Ht of tho npparnt tit claimed te have been employed In an experiment to demonstrate tho eon lonlloH aa to tho bunting qualities of those preparations. The apparatus eon tlsts of four mnnII closed reeepUMf having exits, to enk of whlsh is at taeked a rubber tube, which la tipped oft with aa ordinary gas burner and mantle. A tnblsopocnful of Hostel tor's bittern was ptaeed Ik ene of theso reoeptoelen, a tabtespeenful ef IVruna in another, a Ubtespeenful ef link ham's Compound In tho third, ami a like quantity ef beer In the fourth. "Heat was then applied, and the vapor pave n bright Illumination. Plnkknm'a Compound burned for X minutes and 3 eeendM, Peru ha burned for 8 minutes and 40 seconds, Hosteller's Hitters burned for 4 minutes, while tho beer burned for 90 acoanda only. An effort oh the part of the editor ef . the National Druggist was made to reproduce the offset supposed te have been thus obtained by the experimenter tat the Ladies' Home Journal, the ap paratus described being duplicated by s, except that we had no mantle at bond.

It was simply to furnish a prcfenso of oc ular proof of the assertion that "pat ont modlolnes will burn," and thus by implication to oonvey tho idea that as a elass theso remedies are nothing but disguised alodhalle drinks, possess ing no value from a medloina! otand- point. That tho romodios which wore tho subject of tbo oxporimont do con tain aleeftot is, of course, woll known, but this is also true of nonrly all of the pharraaeepesfal tlnoturos, iluid ex lraet, etc, the alcoholic oentent ef tho former being ia the proportions of about per seat, and yet no eae has ever eeasiderod this fact is sufficient cause for tkelr general and indlserlm inate condemnation. As far as we are concerned, we be lieve tbo whelo 80-oallod experiment te bo a fa'ko and a fraud that in faet it was never carried out that it is a pre tense, wilfully devised for tho purpose of befuddling the understandings of tbo UBsolontffle readers of the journal exploiting it, with the Intent to inflict injury on an industry which, like all others, contains its fair proportion of unworthy members, yet which, when properly conducted is an honorable wiling and performs a valuable public sorvleo. Tho faet scorns to bo, and it becomes tnoro apnarent as Mr. Bek continues his crusade, that h Is actuated, net so much by the deslro to get nt tho real facts or out of oonaideratlerv for the public health, as by a feeling of spite and chagrin against a whole class for tbo action of ono of those manufac turers who, It will be remembered, compelled Mr. Itok to mnfese to a false and libelous publication, to make pub lic acknowledgment and apcl"gr in tbo columns ei nis journal lor mo same, ..1 -A e s . mm, and te whom ho must shortly nswer in a suit for 1100,000 damnges. I Mr. Ilak, in his orusado against pat out medicines, Is bringing, not solid ar guments based on truth, but nil sort ef clap-trap, fake experiments ami per verted fact, ire thus Indulges in tho very offcast which he nffeeta to do pf in tke patent medicine men, and which are the supposed eeeailen ef bis violent outbreak Now, It can hardly be pesstblo that Ike brewers have "beugkt-up" or mb stdlsed these two great jeurnala, and yet, the eireMmctances aa we have re lated tkem are, at least, sufficient to xeite the ewsplde that tkero must be "a Mgger la tke weed pile" seme where. Or, if m more, tkey tend te skew kypeerisy and deceit, rather than a etaeere desire, en tke part of the ed itors, to dfeeeurage tke use of alechelU drinks.

And then the ramtlt would have shown that the ordinary draught ef beer con tain front 10 to t8 timea as muck al cohol as tke experiment makes it ap pear to certain, and (ascamlnj; tke ex- Iperlment to have been genuine), the beer would have burned, not 90 see ondo, but front 6 to 10 minutes, Whoa it is considered bow small a quantity ef alcohol m contained In a tablespoon ful of the average patent medicine certainly leu than a quarter of an ouuoe it eaa be seen that tkere is very little danger of tkeee remedies belnji taken simply te get an intoxicating ef fect, or of tkelr boing used eontinu- ' ously or to great oxcese, and, especially j since their medicinal ingredients roa I dsr nearly all of them more or bss 'un palatable, and besides, tho actios of i the. drugs themselves would, as a, gen? , oral thing, eauso tke stomach, ba revolt before enough of tke sJeoUeltc content kad boon ingested to pratWeo Intoxlcn tlon.

HOPS STILL LOWER Prices Decline and tiic End Is Not to Be Seen The perslsently falling bop market today continued its downward flight. Dealers, by their refusal to buy, Indi cate their judgement tint tho market will roach a still lower level. Growers, surveying tho situation with alarm, are making it still worse by tliolr sudden anxiety to noil. They are throwing their ereps en the market nt any price, anxious te get anything at all for thout. That heps should take a tumble is net surprising, in view of large crops and a great doal of last year's surplus en band. Hut that anything like tke present rapid faN akould occur, experts say is unreasonable, and due, In great part, to tke precipitancy of grower. Then, too, the holders ef hops from last year wished to unload, which they did tke early part of the season. Hoy rs were promptly supplied, and when the new crop, picked and ready for selling, was placed en the market, transactions came slowly. That, nat uarally, kad a tendency to alarm grow ers, who, mere and more poroietenUy, kept throwing their crops om the mar ket. Tkero is no doubt tbat tko buyers who lost year loaded up well wltk kops, trying o booat tke market, and who wore forced to keep- tkelr holdings. unable to soli to brewers, who resented. the pajrMMit of tke exorbitant prices demanded .by tke combine are now, ia dbjnjtpoUtwewt, unloading, and poekot tag tkoir losses.
