PATENT MEDICINES.
Men Who Make and TIiohp Who Uio Them
fortune in Noitrums.
"Te8 I can tell you considerable
about patent medicines.'" said a promi- j
nent wholesale druggist in answer to j
a reporter's inquiry. "In the first place
tho word patent as applied to medicines
s not correct. Many years ago when
the business of manufacturing the.-e
medicines first started some of the
proprietors did get out patents on their
wares but experience taught them bet-
ter very soon. To get a patent it was
necessary to specify the exact ingredi-
ents of the medicine ami their propor
tions. As that was virtually giving to
tlie world what was most important to
be kept secret the plan of patent ing
was abandoned almost as soon as begun
and instead a trade-mark was invented
and copyrighted. The Federal Govern-
ment grants these trade-marks but
withholds its protection from them
leaving to the State courts the onus of
forbidding their infringement. And
this was the ease for vear. during which
"the Federal Government levied a taxa- f
tion on the medicines thus copyrighted.
Therefore to speak correctly they
should be called proprietary not patent
meuiciues.

when doctors were less plent.ful and

more or less his own doctor. Kvery old

paternity of many popular and success-
ful patent medicines. Probably tho real
rise and wide sale of patent medicines
do not extend much further back than
half a century. Most of the very suc-
cessful ones trace their history no fur-
ther back than that Out of about five
thousand articles of domestic make not
more than fifty can be carried on as a

4ead out of the five thousand there are
probably only fire hundred that can be

aad are stated to care only specific
ot Boauy derangement. The day
of the cors-alP medicines is as good as
gone by.' 8ome of the medicines are
really excellent for the purposes they
are applied to. There are new reme-
dies constantly coming into the field
but 'unless backed by heavy capital they
and their projectors invariably come to
grief. Not even plenty of money can
bolster up a remedy if it be worthless;
or if there be too many articles of the
same kind in the market.
"Allowing the remedy to be all that
is claimed for it that it is backed up
heavily advertised well and has elbow-
room in its own particular field
there still remain the usual contingen-
cies and risks related to all business
ventures. The business is not all proiit
as mam people think. The manufactur-
er seesbut a small proportion of the
dollar that the customer paj-s the retail-
er for his bottle of medicine. A dollar
bottle of medicine is generally sold to

j clerk hire and advertising bills. The
j last expense is an important item. It
has been estimated that in the last
twonty years l'0000000 have been
spent in advertising proprietary medi-
cines. The small advertiser is nowhere.
So in the end if the proprietor makes
twelve cents on the dollar-bottle of med-
icine he is lucky. The retailer's net
profit is nearly double that amonut.
When the stamp tax on proprietary
medicines was levied about four per
cent on the retail price in reality ten
per cent on the manufacturer's price
the manufacturers made even less than
now. In four years only the stamp tax
thus levied rolled into the Government
coffers an average of at least SI 500 000
a year. The stamp tax has been done

SEED TREATMENT.
i
Ways ' Ti ua
I Ih4 yrpcfij t PlaatUff.
Wollay am eminent German inyattl-
gator of agricultural questions reports
the results of a large number of experi-
ments on the various ways of treating
the seed preparatory to planting that
are practiced in one place or another
or might seem to be useful. First he
tried the effect of soaking the seed in
solutions of certain compounds that
might be supposed to favor the growth
of the young plantlets. by acting as ma-
nure; these solutions wefe sulphate of
potash common salt muriate of pot-
ash nitrate of potash nitrate of soda
phosphate of potash nitrate of ammonia
and plaster; at the same time other
seeds were soaked for the same length
of time in pure water. It was observed
that if the growth of. only the first four
to eight days was taken into ac-
count the young wheat and rj-e
plants that had been soaked in solution
of common salt were much ah?ad of
those that had been soaked in pure wa-
.... J.. ..... ...:.i : r .t...
i U..L uiu.6i.t nun a ui
ter. hen however t lie observations
were not taken till after four or six
weeks of growth there was nothing to
be seen in favor of the soaking in .salt
over any other solution or over pure
water except with peas and beans.
When the experiment was continued J
still longer with peas and beans till
theripenmg of the crop in three ex-
perinients out of four the difference was
marked in favor of soaking in solution
of salt over pure water ant I in one ease
giving over one-fifth more of seed. A
trial of soaking beet seed in manure
water gave very decided x unfavorable
results; the crop from the unsoaked
eed was in one instance almost twice
as great as from the soaked seed; in
other cases it was oue-lifth to one-half
greater.
The author next tried the effect of
rolling the seed in a fine powder of each
of these fertilizing substances after
having first dipped it in a very thin
glue to cause the powder to adhere and
lorni a thin coating over it. The ger-
mination of the seed was thereby some-
what retarded and a larger per cent of
the seed failed to germinate 'than of the
anie kind of seed not so treated. The-
crop was in some ea-es larger ami in
others smaller and a tendency was de-
veloped to product ni'ire leaves mid
talk and le-s et"l. The author con-
cluded that i ho best that can lie said
for manuring 1 either :" thee methods
is that sometimes it will pa a;ul some-
times not: that it will be more likelv to
be useful on soils thai have a great
power of converting the plant food
applied to tin; crop into insoluble forms
or which in other words have a givat
absorptive power ami in muV tint are
naturaPv rather inoi.-t. A ie-avy clay
soil usually possesses this absorptive
power in large measures. lint
neither soaking the seed or envelop-
ing it in a coating of manure can
take the place of manuring in the u.-ual
manner: it can only asNt the growth
of the young plant; but the plant thus
pushed ahead in the beginning of its
j life mu-t then find itself in a -oil well

the difficulty.
"By George" exclaimed Singer "1

"There is a fortuue for you if vou
do." sa d Mr. Clark.
"I can do it- I have the idea now"
enthusiastically continued Singer.
Then it is recorded how he looked
down at his shoes with the soles loose
and his clothes in tatters and rags. He
wilted (so to speak) and exclaimed:
I am talking wild: I haven't money
enough to buy a screw."
I'will tell you whut I will do" said
Clark. "I'll fit you up a shop in the
loft of my stable furnish you with

half of my investment.
"It's a go!' said Singer.
Inside of a month no had his ma-
chine working using the eye pointed
needle and shuttle invented by Hunt
but with an addition it made a contin-
uous stitch. There was one defect
however. His machine failed to draw
up the stitches and left each one with
a loop on both sides of the fabric.
Upon this he worked night and day
until the last day of hi3 time came. He
worked at it until noon and then started
for his dinner. A thought struck him.
and back through the streets he start-d
on a run for his shop. He seized lit-
tle piece of wire gave it several bends
and inserted it in his machine. This
was the little "spiral" called a "tako
up" which to-day is found in one form
or another in every machine. It was
a success!
Bytlie time Elias Howe got back:
from England he found three 'machines

machine sold by any of the three linns.
After this Howe ;;ot a man nnni'-d
Ta lor to work or. a machine and lie
li. ally succeeded in inventing an en-
tire new one which took Howe's irnne.
About this lime rumors reached the
other firms that models male bv Hunt
and amu atju

ence and they secured one from Haiti-
more. They held a consult a' inn and
sent fir Mr. Howe and showed him the
model and their proofs that Hunt "u-

made a clean breast of it. Howe left

th coacave affact! of which I hare
spoken; and so with themost delicate
art is the world thay made tne pillar
swatt a little at the' middle and then it
appeared exactly richt.
This swelling of the column at its
middle was called entasis. Of course it
had to be calculated with the greatest
nicety and was actually so very slight
that it can only bo detected by delicate
measurements; but it added greatly to
the beauty of tho columfts and to their
eirectiveness.
Then the lines which were to look
horizontal had to receive attention. If
you look at a long perfectly level line
as the edge of a roof for .ntance it
has the appearance of sagging toward
the middle. Tho Greek architect cor-
rected this fault by making his lines
ri.-e a little. The front of the l'anhe-
iiou at Athen-. is one hundred and one
feet three and a half incites long and
in this the rise from the horizontal is
about two aad oue-eighth incites. In
other word.- there is a curvature up-
