Her Faith In Drugs.

Faith In drugs was the subject under discussion when an elderly physician who had spoken against the practice of “dosing” by laymen told this story: “I had a patient once who complained ot pains in her right arm. She was otherwise well and strong and looked upon the little ache as nothing serious. Weeks after she bad been to see me she met me and said that she used the liniment I gave her on her bad arm every night and that when she did not use it she could not sleep. One night she retired before making the application, but reached from her bed to the table, got her liniment bottle, gave her arm a good rubbing and felt better for it and went to sleep. When she awoke the next morning she discovered that she had grabbed the wrong bottle and bad applied copious doses of black ink. It did her as much good as my liniment’* New York Tribune.
