There are Six Thousand Patent Medicines on Sale Writing last week in The Renfrew Mercury W. J. Stiles makes the followâ€" ing interesting reference to patent medicines:â€" "The other day that august body the Canadian House of Commons spent all afternoon and part of the evening with items for the Dept. of Pensions and Naâ€" tional Health, and among statements made was one to the effect that of 60,â€" 000 patent medicines at one time existâ€" ing in Canada only 6,000 now remain. At the same time and place it was statâ€" ed that many a misleading claim has been eliminated. Pharmacies of Renâ€" frew, in common with all others in Onâ€" tario, carry a fair percentage of the 6,000 patent medicines on the Canadian market today. An observant person can see a certain number of them on the shelves at the front. Patent mediâ€" cines were made in years gone by for every ailment to which flood and blood are heir, and it is said that every man and woman is ready, if ill or supposedâ€" ly ill, to try anything at least once." The amount of money which has been spent on these soâ€"called reâ€" medies is fabulous. Millionaires have been created thereby. The medicines have been advertised in family newsâ€"| ha papers, in family almanacs, on billâ€" | brg boards, on fences, and otherwise.t for Often men went around the country| Tr selling medicine, playing not only the| Bu role of medicine vendors but vocalists | asi and comedians, though always with the | bo: selling of goods their sole aim and purâ€" | wh pose. Never have these people failed | abl to gain the confidence of audiences,| spl The sick, or imaginarily sick, we have | me with us always. Dr. Helen McMurchy| opj of Ottawa, who addressed a publici wi meeting in Renfréw about a year ago, | th« stated in so many words that in the| ers proportion that patent medicines were| _ ] reduced in number, in that ratio would ; ter the public health be bettered. Though | COr Canada‘s 60,000 at one time has been reduced to 6,000 today, six thousand is still a big list. No doubt not a few would think 600 too many and 60 as a few dozen more than was good for the public health. However, the situation, there can be no doubt that there are several of these remedies which are household words and in which people have abiding faith. Some of them have been on sale "sonce the year one" or longer. That a few of them possess considerable merit no doubt can be enâ€" tertained. Among these are ointments, liniments, salves, cough cures, etc.. the ingredients of which are fairly well known. It is said that the late Dougal C. McNab, who came to Canada as priâ€" vate secretary to Chief McNab and who afterward taught school, compounded certain remedies that were on sale in stores in Renfrew county. His are probably among the 55,000 which have passed out." * THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY COCKRANE BOARD OF TRAD Many Interesting Addresses at Event at Cochrane on Wednesday of Last Week A number in Timmins, including the president of the local board of trade, the press, and others, received invitaâ€" tions to the banquet given in honour of the twentieth anniversary of the Cochrane Board of Trade, but on acâ€" count of the condition of the roads and other cirecumstances were unable to atâ€" tend.

S. Matthews, a members of our Norâ€" thern Ontario Committee to officially represent the Board. Your Board‘s record of twenty years service in the development of the North is one of which you may well be proud. Best wishes for continued success and prosâ€" perity. The next on the list was the toast to the Board of Trade, proposed by Geo. T. Smith of Haileybury, a pioneer of the North, who is alike admired and respected by a host of friends in the North. Mr.‘Smith reviewed the work of the Board of Trade and the possiâ€" bilities open to it. The toast was reâ€" sponded to by Mr. Arthur Stevens, who outlined in brief the "red letter" days in the history of the Board and of the Town. In proposing the toast to "Our Vetâ€" erans," Col. J. I. McLaren touched on th2 problems and nseds which had Mr. Lee expressea xetn appreciation at the being present and explained that the T. N. O. stood for service and that the reason that they were able to give service was that every man on the road was working with that idea in mind. He also expressed pleasure at the spirit of coâ€"operation which existed between the T. N. O. and the towns along the line. The toast to "Our Railways‘" was the next proposed by Mr. J. A. Clermont, who spoke of the place occupied by the railways in the life of the community, of the service which they were renderâ€" ing and also referred, in passing, to the matter of taxation. This toast was responded to by Mr. Geoo. W. Lee, Chairman of the T. N. O. Railway Commission and Mr. W. B. Way, Disâ€" trict Superintendent of the C. N. R.

Mr. R. R. Mitâ€" chell replied to this toast, and told of some of the things which had been done here and also explained how some of the aims of the Return Men‘s Oorâ€" ganization corresponded to some of the aims of the Board of Trade. ‘"Northern Ontario‘ was then very ably proposed by Mr. Way, who reâ€" viewed the size and importance of this part of the Province. Mr.C. W. Wright of Englehart, President of the Northâ€" ern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, responded with an able address on the true greatness of the North and of the wonderful future ahead of it. The "Province of Ontario‘" was then proposed by Mr. Cecil Bethune, of Otâ€" tawa, President of the Ontario Associâ€" ated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, who touched on the place in the life of the province occupied by this organization and of the possibiliâ€" ties open to the local Board of Trade.
