of these quarrels in the medical profess
sion, as is quite natural, but it would
seem that the iron rule of the "Code"
might be safely toned down a little in
the case of man and wife belonging to
different schools of medicine. Even
though the wife might not be practicing
physician of the heretical school, she
might wish to be treated in Homeo-
pathic or Eclectic way, even if her hus-
band was a doctor of the old regime,
and would prefer to have his professional
services to any other. There are good
many Homeopathic wives nowadays,
and occasionally they fall to the lot of
Allopathic doctors The medical "Code"
seems to act in restraint of such mar
riages, and so far is clearly against public
policy, and ought to be abrogated.

A new drama by NJ. Charles Loman,
author OF the "Jean d d'Acier," produced at

brought out at the Paris Odeon, under the
title of the Marquis de Kenilis." The plot
is founded on the Revolution of 1889, but
is neither new nor striking, and is made uI
chiefly of virtuous TRADES about duty and
patriotism. The piece is well got up and
well acted, but neither scenery nor acting
are likely to save it.

Although many are predisposed to lung
troubles from birth, yet even such may
escape consumption, or other pulmonary
bronchial diseases, if due care and watchful-
ness be observed, and all exciting causes
are promptly treated as they arise. 1t is
in these cases Dr. Jayne's Expectorant ex-
ercises its most beneficial effects, and has
produced the largest proportion of its
cures. Besides promptly removing coughs
and colds, which, when left to themselves,
are the immediate causes of tuberculous
development, this standard remedy allays
any Inflammation which may exist and by
promoting easy expectoration, cleanses the
lungs of the substances which clog them
up, and which rapidly destroy when
suffered to remain.
