262 NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SOCIETY cutei would be to tbe extreme. Another thoughtful and most careful medical friend, upon being interviewed, in a similar manner replied: "It will not do to indiscriminately condemn all patent and proprietary remedies, for in some there is much good." And, perhaps, the latter is more rational and conservative advice. Perhaps a free and honest expression of his opinion upon similar preparations is responsible for the great law suit now going on between the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Chattanooga Medicine Company, in which case Dr. Simmons and the Association are being sued for libel and damages on account of reputed derogatory remarks published in said Journal in reference to "Wine of Cardui," which chemists say is only an impotent solution of alcohol, residue, ash, etc. Yet this concoction has been heralded the country o'er as a panacea for all womb troubles, practically, by the above manufacturers. Peruna at one time had an enviable reputation, too. However, its sales seem to be on the decline right now. The appearance of "Tanlac" upon the market recently might account for its depreciation, for we find the same class of people now using and "testifying" for this alcoholic preparation, and according to their affidavits, are being cured by it "after all the doctors had failed" They appear to take it for every ill from toe itch on through the uterine, stomach and the various nervous and mental perversion. It has been said that last year there was on the market 27,000 different proprietary nostrums, and some author says that the sum of $181,-000,000 was spent for patent medicines during 1914 in the United States and Canada. As evidence that our profession is now serioiTsly considering this subject, a few weeks ago a committee from the American Medical Association visited President Wilson and told him that patent medicines constituted an evil of national scope, and as prima facie evidence that the manufacturers of these preparations are thinking along this same line, we are told by the Bulletin of Pharmacy that the patent medicine interests have a protective organization known as the Proprietary Association (this very name being deceptive) and that it had, also, sent a committee to Washington City to interview Col. Osborne, Commissioner of Internal Reveue, in the interest of their business, and to plead for certain rulings in their favor. We are told by the American Medical Association Journal of last week that, "a drug not known to have some definite, safe action should not be used, and that the only one who lias the. knowledge of the action of a drug on the human being in health and in disease should prescribe
