It is gratifying to note iu many directions the awakening of the ^ people at last to tlie manifold evils of patent medicines. Physicians have always known tlieir true character, and the risks run by so many people in using them, but their warnings have fallen on deaf ears, tlie laity claiming that their criticisms were due to self-interest. We remember that when we began practice and inserted our professional card in one of our leading religious papers the associate editor, a well-educated gentleman, our warm personal friend and college-mate, said some kind things about us in his editorial columns. Immediately following this, however, was a notice twice as long and much more laudatory, of a patent medicine. When he was called to account by an indignant medical subscriber his only comment was: ''Of course, physicians are opposed to patent medicines because they hurt their practice." And that is the most discouraging thing of all— that men of intelligence and attainments and of excellent discrimination in most matters should allow themselves to be ''bamboozled" by the advertisement of quack medicines. It is said that every person who has reached the age of forty is either "a fool or a physician," and the number of physicians is limited. Rut the laity are waking up now and some of our most inlluential and widely-circulated journals, notably Collier's Weekly and the Ladies' Home Journal, are taking up the fight against them. The element of self-interest does not enter into the question with them, but
