MEDICAL

Every Physician located in the country or a
small village, and engaged in the practice of his
profession, has more or less frequently found the
successful treatment of chronic diseases difficult, if
not impossible, owing to the absence of many fa-
~cilities which are within the reach of those residing
in the cities and larger towns.
The undersigned has for this reason made ar
engagements for the treatment Of this class of cases
by which patients can have the benefit of all the
appliances known to the profession.
Persons placed under his care will receive in adj
ditiou to medical and surgical treatment, the bene-
fit of DR.. Langston Parker method of treatment
by fumigation tho use of many of the mineral
and saline waters, both for bathing and genera
use; bathing in sea water, &c, when indicated
beside the ordinary general and local baths of wat
er, heated air and yapor.
Physicians having under their caro- or knowing
of persons afflicted by obstinate rheumatism, Skin
diseases, diseases of the urinary organs, dc, whiel
have resisted ordinary treatment, viii confer
great favor upon such persons, by calling their at
~tention to the facilities here afforded.

Among the resolutions we observe one that
especially challenges u attention and merits

the introduction of party politics IN schools
Is condemned. If all the teachers in Linn

rule, the absolute prohibition of politics from
their respective schools, the rising generation
of the county viii be better educated thar
they are, and the teachers VIII more faith
fully perform their duty towards their pupil;
