Dry Prescriptions. — The bill was up again at Sacramento to endeavor to compel physicians to write their prescriptions in plain English, instead of Latin; for instance, to say "salt" instead of "chloride of sodium," "pure water" instead of "aqua pura;" but the doctors killed the bill. One is quoted as saying, "If a fellow knows what's in his medicine, it doesn't do him a particle of good." We believe the physicians lose by it. Many intelligent people want to know somewhat of what they swallow and its modus operandi.
