It is to be feared that, should the bill introduced in the Kansas Legislature to compel the compounders of proprietary medicine to file a bill of ingredients with the State Board of Health, become a law, it will greatly injure the sale of the medicines. When it is found that there is nothing "strong,"—that is to say, poisonous,—in the list, public demand for the remedies will fall off. Nothing makes a free American so mad as to discover that his doctor has been giving him as "medicine" sugar, soap, or any other substance that cannot possibly harm him.—Kansas City Star.
