Medicine, contraband.

We believe that never till the present highly humane and civilized war have medicines been made contraband. Yet even before the open rupture, Northern apothecaries refused to sell quinine and other articles in their trade, and since the war, none whatever are permitted to cross the border. The inhumanity which thus makes war upon the sick and afflicted, is, we believe, unparalleled in the history of civilized nations. There is, however, this consolation, that medicines in general kill more than they cure.
