which he can learn, and urges the merits of his lotion, and in¬

An analysis of this remedy revealed its composition to be

aration and the original “Giles Lotion.” Various means of 
dealing with this gentleman were discussed, and Dr. Moore con¬ 
cluded to furnish to his customers at cost all this preparation 
they might wish, and it is his opinion that a bottle such as is 
sold for one dollar he could compound for a few cents.

nally from near Trinidad, Colorado, was shipped to Kansas 
City, and sold in small bunches to farmers in various sections, 
where it seems they all developed the disease, which ran a 
very rapid course, and in case it was not treated terminated in 
death in about three weeks. None of the members had seen 
anything similar, but Dr. Pritchard had seen an affection of the 
vulva caused by feeding on old straw.
