Ribbing Folk* ol faint Medh cine Drama Nostrum Con taining Large Percentage el Alcehel Can Now be Said Only Uader Llqaor Llceaae. Iiklgh New# u< Oburm. Washington, Sept. 14.—The Commissioner of Internal Reve nue today rendered a decision that will seriously affect a num ber of patent medicines com posed largely of distilled liquors. He has reversed a ruling of his Department made many years ago, and now decides that the manufacturers of these medi cines must take out licenses as rectifiers and liquor dealers, and that druggists and others hand ling them will have to pay the usual retail liquor dealers' license. The Commissioner, in a letter of instruction to collect ora of internal revenue, aava that there ate a number of com pounds on the market going un der the names of medicines that are composed chiefly of distilled spirits, without the addition of drugs or medicines iu sufficient auantities to change materially le character of the whiskey. While no statement is made by the Commissioner as to tbe medicines that win be affected, it is believed that several promi nent and highly advertised med icines will be effected by tbe de cision. In tome instances these medidoes have been found to contain as high as 45 per cent, of alcohol, and there are many on the market, it is said, that contain 25 per cent, of alcohol. These medicines are said to have immense sales in prohibition communities, figures collected in Massachusetts recently show ing, it is ststed, that one mueb advertifted compound with a high percentage of whiskey bad been bought to the extent of 300.000 bottles in one year in prohibition communities of one New England State.

ChstUrMou Km and Cuerlar. While the medical fraternity has not _ achieved a complete triumph in New Orlenni, it baa at least won a note-worthy victory there over the scourge with which the oity is afflicted. A comparison of the deaths and new cases during this epidemic with those in the last epidemic of yellow fever in New Orleans u sufficient proof that sc.ence baa made a giant stride against one of the most serious ana moat dreaded ills to which human flesh is heir. It was not to be expected that the fever could be stamped out entirely miter it had gotten such a firm hold in New Orleans, but Ibe battle that baa been fought against it by the health authorities baa been a winning battle none the leas. The scourge has been controlled if it hes not been driven ont, and this fact in itself gives great promise and encouragement for the future. If yellow fever can be controlled after it has broken out in a city aucb aa New Orleans, it would appear noth ing ahoit of criminal careless ness should permit of its ever being introduced there again. And it might be added that the mosquito theory has received additional vindication by what has come and goue during the existing epidemic in New Orleans. It is not altogether remarkable that the disease baa spread to places cloae to New Orleans, but it should certainly be pos afblq to keep it within reason able bounds. Should it extend to aay distant point capable of infection, the burden of proof would rest upon the health au tboehlca of that place to show that they bad not been neglect ful of their duties In a measure which would be little short of criminal. So far at least it ia pleasant to feel and to aay that the health officers of most South ern communities have mat the ttnrrgeecy forced upon them moat admirably. lata Camels. cat(«a» OwMlel*.
