G- Tugrwel! -which -would practically ban all patent medicine advertising by the newspapers during the next years. This bill place such advertising: ur.der the control of the Pure Food and Dru? Bureau of the Department of Agriculture, which department is said to be dominated by the Anier- icajn Medical Association, xvhich is antagonistic to- all sorts of- advertising. The newspapers will oppose this bill, not so much because of the loss of revenue which its enactment would entail, but because it would violate a fundamental American principle.

The amount of patent medicine advertising which the newspapers carry is negligible. Its loss would not be very keenly felt by the publishers. Uut to be forced to ban any type of advertising- in deference to the of some professional would be unfair to the readers. It is not within the province of the newspapers to take sides in the controversy between the physicians and the manufacturers proprietary remedies. That is a matter for scientific discussion.

The doctors, for the most part. condemn patent medicines as worthless, and In some instances dangerous.They br-Ueve that specific prescriptions are necessary Jn each individual case. TTe are not prepared to either controvert or defend this theory. It is 2. matter no layman can decide.

There is no question, hotvever. but that of people buy these patent medicines, believing that they find virtue in them. These remedies are by the pure food and drug- act and can not contain ar.y harmful in- gredlents. To completely romavt them from drugstore shelve? w-culd deprive the p-ec-rli cf sonic- which desire, and to refuse to advertise them in the newspaper columns -would to refuse "We not believe that such a that proposed by Processor will meet with the general approval of the American people.
