THE BOERNE STAR
Thursday, January 31, 1957
People among the most civilized believed for ages of
time that diseases were caused by evil spirits or devils or
gods in rage over sins that the victims were supposed to' have
committed. Treatment of diseases accordingly included
magic, ritual dances, weird masks and horrible concoctions
intended to drive away the demons thought to be responsible
for the physical misery of a sick person.
Superstition and religion were (and they still are) joined
in the treatment of diseases in the primitve societies of the
world. Ignorance prevailed in the methods and the drugs
used to cope with human ailments. The regulation of medical
practice about 2250 BC contains a section, making medicine
a very hazardous profession in Babylonia.
The Sumerians had a remarkable civilization in
Babylon after 5000 B.C. They were familiar with many
drugs and they possessed considerable knowledge of hygeine.
Anepu was the druggist of the gods of the Egyptians. He
was the “keeper of the house of medicines and the chamber
of embalment” and the “apothecary and the compounder of
prescriptions for the gods.” The Ancient Egyptians used*
vinegar for pain and the blood of lizards for nausea. Grape-
juice was one of the agents for drugs they employed. Mag-
netism and magic were guides for laboratory processes and
the treatment of physical disorders. A popular laxative was
made of honey, wormwood and anions. The Ancient Egyp-
tians used some of the dr\jgs we use today. The Greeks to
a great extent copied the drugs of the Egyptians and made
tremendous contributions to the advancement of medical
science. They projected the concept that diseases result
from natural causes and diminished the influence of super-
stition. After the fall of Rome superstition overspread the
civilized regions of Europe. It was fortunate for mankind
there was a religious and political climate suitable to the
survival and the growth of knowledge in the Moslem Empire.
The shop for drugs is said to have originated in Arabia.
Medical practice was raised to a high level of ethics in
Persia. Remarkable indeed was the large number of excellent
hospitals in the Moslem Empire.

FEBRUARY DESIGNATED
RABIES CONTROL MONTH
This year the month of Feb-
ruary has been designated by
the City of Boerne as Rabies
Control Month. All dogs within
the City Limits of Boerne must
be vaccinated and tagged by
City Ordinance. The 1956 con-
trol program was very success-
ful. Almost 100 percent of all
the dogs within and around the
City were vaccinated and tagged.
Over 40 unclaimed dogs were
picked up and destroyed. The
elimination of unclaimed dogs
helps control rabies, and also
helps to prevent the formation
of ‘sheep killing packs’. All dog
owners within and around
Boerne are urged to have the
pets properly tagged. After Feb-
ruary all untagged dogs found
within the City Limits will be
considered stray dogs and dis-
posed of according to City Ordi-
nance. _ If?'

PEARL BREWERY SALES
BREAK 70 YEAR RECORD
Datus E. Proper, Vice-President and General Manager
(left); Otto A. Koehler, President and Chairman of the
Board; Harry C. Haegelein, Master Brewer; and H. B.
“Pat” O’Brien,- General Sales Manager, gather to cele-
brate the Brewery’s greatest production and sales record,
904,737 barrels of Pearl Beer sold in 1956.
Pearl Again Sets Texas Beer Sales Record
The 1956 sales of Pearl Beer
were the greatest in the Brewery s
history, setting an all-time sales
record of any beer, any year, ever
sold in the State of Texas.
Pearl Beer sales were 904,737
barrels which is in excess of 300
million bottles and cans, eqfliva-
lent of more than 1,000.000 every
business day during 1956.
“In 1954, in 1955, and again
last year, Pearl Beer was first in
sales among all beers marketed in
Texas. The Pearl Brewing Com-
pany established a new record in
1956 selling more beer than has
ever been sold by any other
brewery in the history of this
great State,” said Datus E. Pro-
per, Vice .President and General
Manager of the Pearl Brewing
Company.
“The increased demand for
Pearl Beer in Texas is due to its
controlled quality and_ its consist-
ent good 4aste,” said Otto A.
Koehler, President of the Pearl
Brewing Company. He continued,
“For three generations Pearl has
been making a Premium Quality
Beer at popular price. Our Brew-
ery has five graduate Brewmas-
ters in addition to three technical
chemists, who have 24-hour, 7
day a week supervision of the
production, °ging, and packaging
of Pearl Beer. Our 1956 sales ex-
nansion program going into New
Mexico, parts of Louisiana and
Arkansas, was planned on the
basis of our 1956 increase in pro-
duction facilities to 1,300,000
barrels of fully aged beer.”
Pat O’Brien, General Sales
Manager said: “Our 1957 expan-
sion plans in New Mexico, Louis-
iana and Arkansas, _ backed by
'extensive merchandising and ad-
vertising, assures us ox continu-
ing to keep the Pearl Brewery
the largest Southwest of\St.
Louis.”
