THE HEALTH BULLETi:^^ 53 PRIZES WITHDRAWN Papers on Contagious Diseases Not Sufficient to be Accepted r^n PEW months ago this Board of-fered a prize of $25 each for the best essay on the following subjects: Typhoid Fever, Malaria Fever, Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Whooping Cough, and Measles. It was the purpose of the Board to publish the winning articles in The Blt-letin and to use them later as standard leaflets to be sent out upon request for information on the respective diseases. One of the rules of the contest was to the effect that if the articles submitted were not, in the opinion of the Board, of sufficient value as to justify the proposition, the offer of prizes would be withdrawn at any subsequent issue of The Bltllett^^ As the articles were received they were put into the hands of competent judges, and not until recently have we been able to have their report. The judges were a college president, a prominent physician, an editor of a State paper, a layman, and the editor of The Bulletin. In their opinion none of the papers was sufficient in a number of essential particulars to merit their acceptance. In other words they were not what the Board needed or could use. Accordingly, the offer ot prizes has been withdrawn. There is one amendment, however, we think proper to make in regard to the rules covering the contest, that those who desire their manuscripts returned will furnish us both numbers to their manuscripts and their address on a stamped envelope. Upon receiving this we will be glad to return any paper. ''It is just as much the duty of local and state boards of health to give warnings as to the dangers in the use of alcoholic liquors as it is to warn the public against impure water and milk or against the fly as a carrier of disease." ''Public health is the foundation upon which rests the happiness of the people and the welfare of the state."— Disraeli. EVOLl TI(>]V OF THE PATENT MEDI-CINE BOTTLE Our readers will note the four easy stages in the evolution of the patent medicine bottle. If he cares for details he will note that Alcohol "evo- lutes" into "At Rest," according to our artist's conception, and that One Dollar "evolutes" into "Our Darling/' Likewise, the testimonials, the guarantee, cure. etc. "evolute" into wreaths of flowers.
