THE HEALTH BULLETIN 289^ on the above statement of principles by the National Advertisers' Association : ''One might almost be excused for thinking that the Association of National Advertisers had the 'patent medicine' business specifically in mind when it drew up its declaration of principles. Certain it is that practically all 'patent medicine' advertising must be declared guilty on one or all counts in the association's indictment. It is impossible to escape the belief that the Association of National Advertisers hasn't much use for the nostrum fraternity. But the association did not stop with the mere declaration of principles. It backed up its words by declaring that its members, so far as they were able, would 'direct their advertising to those mediums which made the observance of these piinci-ples their rule and practice.' No wonder the 'patent medicine' interests are loudly proclaiming their willingness to be good. 'The devil was sick, the devil a monk would be; the devil was well, the devil a monk was he!' At present the nostrum industry is far from healthy." _ Public Policy and Commercial Interest in Conflict In this connection it is interesting to note that the State is spending about $50,000 a year to teach its people that consumption is curable only by the adoption of certain hygienic habits of living, AND NOT BY ANY DRUG; the secret remedy interests, on the other hand, are spending thousands of dollars through the advertising columns of our State papers to teach exactly the opposite doctrine, to wit, that drugs will cure consumption. Somebody is lying. The following tabulation is based upon inquiry of the 398 patients treated at the State Sanatorium for Tuberculosis, Of the 398 patients, practically 40 per cent had taken secret remedies, expending therefor a total sum of $1,314.85, or $8.01 per capita. Of course, the money spent by the patients for these medicines counts for very little; ])ut the time lost while relying on the medicine to cure their disease, varying from one to six months per patient, is the difference to some of them between life and death.
