264 THE inKALTH BULLETIN the couxtrt store Did you ever visit a country store on a cold winter day? You will find something like this: The shelves are jammed and packed with everything from age-worn, fly-specked calicoes and ginghams on one side, to snuff and tobacco, grindstones and plough shares on the other. The groceries usually occupy the rear of the store, where there is less light, and the storekeeper thinks thinks, less need of cleanliness and fresh air. The farm implements and a few pieces of necessary furniture, you will most likely find, suspended from the ceiling. But near the door where there is more light, and in handy reach, is a very important section of the merchandise. Its ready sale makes it a lucrative business and one of which there's always a full supply. This is the patent medicine section. You will see package after package of "cures," ''remedies" ''tonics," "old reliables," etc. There you will recognize perhaps in a row the faces of your old doctor friends: Piso, Hartmann, Pierce, McEl-ree, Miles, and a host of others. But in the center of the store, surrounding a rusty stove, a wood box and a useless spittoon, is the most interesting spectacle of the store. The usual number of drop-ins and do-nothings are there gossiping, chewing, coughing, sneezing, and spitting. Those who come without a cough or a cold go away with one and return the next day to evidence the progress and report the sleepless night. From day to day the chewing, hawking, coughing and spitting goes on. The coughs and colds grow worse, and the puddles grow bigger on the floor about the stove. The neighborhood is soon visited with an epidemic of colds, grip, and pneumonia; yet nobody suspected the foul air of the country store, laden with the germs coughed out by these "loafers," to be the source of the epidemic.
