That the tendency nowadays is to take too many drugs, often self-administered, is asserted by an editorial writer In The Lancet (April 2), who in an article on * Self-Medica." tion' contenda that there is an increasing number of people who spend money and thought over the business of physioking themselves. The auther quotes from The Daily Mail (London) an account of an old. lady who was in the babit of taking nightly 'piue compound rhubarb pills, several mixtures, four tablespoonfuls of seuns, three teaspoonfuls of cascars, and a quantity of magnesis. Although this is probably not to be regarded as a typical case, the writer believes that there is far too much of this sort of thing going on. He says:

All this, of course, has been greatly promoted by column after column of advertisement in magazines and lay newspapers; but we are compelled to admit that the medical profession can not be held free from some

"THE MEETING ON THE YALU,
*Thou shalt not kill,' hear Buddha speak.
Protecting even vermin-
The Christ Child's ‘Turn the other cheek
Shines out like gold on ermine.
Yet cannon, brand and bayonet,
Foreboding awful slaughter,
Are massed 'neath rival banners, sot
Along the Yalu water!
The Buddhist, pitying a fly,
His murderous shell is firing ;
The Christian's altruism high
Thinks never of retiring.
Forgotten now each message sweet,
Forgotten as the Giver ;
Yet, Buddha and the Christ Child meet
Upon the Yalu river!
-J. A., in Brooklyn Eagle.
THE WAR IN MAINE.
Us folks down to Maine ain't bothered With the style of words that's printed All about the shooting matches
Over yonder where the Russians
And the Japanese are fighting.
We don't care for little, easy Words like Saracharifuto, Hakodate, Ishakari,
Tsugaruki and the others,
Done in consonants and sneezes,
Fits and spasms and contortions,
We don't give a continental
For the Russian-Japanensy
Style of language in the papers,
For we've got some Maine jawbreakers
That we guess are rather something
In the line of nomenclature.
For instance, now, suppose you tackle Molochunkemunk and Schooxic, Eggenmoggin and Pejopscot, Moosetoomogantic and Kealscus. What's the matter with their ensure
Ain't they equal to the lingo
Of the Muscovite and Mongol ?
Still, if you think that they are mild ones. Chernquasabemticook and Sqps Fan,
Wytopitlock and Cupsuptic,
Mnewaboo and Pattagempus
May be found to make it plainer
To you that in Maine our language
Beats the Russo-Japaneasy
To a pulp from start to finish,
These we mention, just in passing,
the many
Are but fow among
That wo give our towns--and rivers, Lakes and mountains- and wo's ready,
If the Muscovite und. Mongol
Shoot their language all to pieces.
To supply them with some samples
To replace their present twisters.
That will make them pause and wonder.

administrative order, without trials ; there have been similar executions in Kronstadt, while in Moscow, eighty coffins have been seen leaving the City at the dead of night escorted by troops.' The correspondent gives the most gloomy account of the effects of the war in commercial and agricultural life; moreover forecasts indicate poor crops.
