For then, as now, ccinmorili rialisin d< minuted the minds cf men $ too ccnioletely to admit cf the ex2 erclse of the Ideal conscience in business to lerms of the not less strenuous to struggle for industrial existence or /ji political success. Too often, indeed, 2 there has been imposed upon the 2 employment of force the exercise of to cunning; upon the indulgence of greed the practice cf graft; upon $ 'he worship of speed, the cruelty of the Juggernaut; upon tne goal of 2 failure, the cul-de-sac of despair. ft* to Yet with all this food for pessl$ mism in the commercial and polltl2 cal characteristics of his day, James Russell Ixtwell still foretold the to coming of the reign of that 'good to taste' which is the highest expresto sion cf the intellectual and spiritual 2 conscience. Tluit ho was not a mere ^ idealist who dreams but a seer who "saw Into the future as far as huA man eye could see; saw the vision A < f tiie world and all the wonder that ? would be," the history cf today bears 2 witness. He discovered the forces j|> cf an evolution already at work in A the moral nature of men which peoA -pie of his day and generation could 2 not see. 2 The present decade has been markA ed in America by the great awakenA ing of it public conscience, by the A organized operation of it mighty mass A of individual consciences educated A to the judgment of questions of right A and wrong, of good taste and bad 2 taste in public affairs. This public 2 conscience has already proved its A elemental power. It has challeged A the prostitution of public office to A private gain. It has revealed the 2 skeleton in hundreds of political 2 closets. It has attacked the true A name and penalty to the fattening A of trust official upon trust funds. It A has restored to the people valuable 2 franchises obtained through fraud. It A has declared for public ownership A of public utilities. It has moved for Z a revision and reduction of our rob| ber tariff. It baa forbidden the railZ roads discrinilnation between shlpZ pers or competing points. It has X Inaugurated a relentless warfare X against the iniquitous trusts. And X last but not least, It lias exposed the Z adulteration and pollution in the Z preparation of human foods and meda lelnes. While in this field tne work X has just begun, there will be no cesZ satlon of the warfare till every state Z as well as the national government, Z has enacted stringent laws against Z every form of adulteration, or misX representation of the component X parts of any article offered for sale, Drag ( or cf its curative properties. Realizing that this warefare against adulteration and misrepresentation will result, ultimately, in the prohibition of many patent and proprietary medicines now sold extensively and real izing further that the people now demand ready prepared remedies for many of their complaints, and knowing, as they do, that there is a standard formula, of known and tried merit, for every disease that any patent remedy wi 1 benefit?the Standard Drug Company has been organized to fill this want. So fai as they know their business is unique. They claim to be the most thoroughly orthodox druggists in the world. This claim is based on the fact that they sell 110 putcnt medicines. Kvery article sold by them must b? one that is approved by the 1". S. Pharmacopoeia, cr the National Formulary, or. in other words, noth ing is offered for sale until it is prone unced by the best medical talent of the world to be cf known and tried merit. Each and every article sold by them bears the full formula en the label, as well as full instructions for use. While they fully appreciate the importance of the family physician, they contend that, with a small supply cf Standard Remedies cu hand, many cases of sickness in tha family could be treated as well by the heads of the families as by the physician. Probably in three times out of four that a physician 1h called the head or the family knows the trouble, but does not know the proper remedy. To assist In successfully treating many of the mcst common diseases of this country, the company has published a small book of 80 pages for the use cf its patrons. A copy of this book will be sent to any one by mail cn receipt of four cents in stamps to pa; postage on it. Some of the diseases that may be successfully treated at heme by the use cf Standard Remedies are: Flatulent c< lie and restlessness of infants: the distressing bowel troubles ( f teething infants, including cholera infantum; croup, snuffles, coughs and cclds; worms; diarrhoea; dysentery: con? t i 11:11 ion I>i1i< iisok.uu measles; scarht rash; chicken pox; (he milder forms cf fevers; ill? various diseases cf respiration; colds; catarrh, sore throat, bronchitis; ccughs, etc.; torpidity cf the liver; indigestion; cramp colic; kidney diseases; bladder diseases; sick headache; nervous headache; earache; rheumatism; neuralgia; the various diseases of the blood; the diseas* peculiar to women, as delayed menstruation, chlorosis or green sickness, suppression of the menses, painful menstruation, profuse menstruation. falling cf the womb, luecorrhoea or white inflammation of the womb, etc.; wounds; bruises; sprains; burns; boils; pimples, etc. The above Is only a partial list cf the diseases that can be successfully treated at heme. It is the purpose of the ccmpany to supply every store In the rural districts and smaller towns, where there is no regular drug store, with a full line of Standard Drugs, put up for dispensing to the trade without the necessity of a regular pharmacist. It will thus he seen that there is no longer any oxens'? for one's taking a patent remedy of unknown or doubtful virtue.
