The Norristown pa Herald
in a recent issue referred among
others, to the following cases of
special interest. They are their
own commentary. Mr.. Samuel
c. Nyce, resides at sos Mar
shall street, and holds the res
ponsible position OF journal
clerk in the Pennsylvania Leg
islature, at Harrisburg. While
Mr.. Nyce and family were in
the country recently, his boy,
aged three years, fell and broke
his leg. He recovered, but a
very troublesome stiffness set
in and he could scarcely use the
leg. The injured limb was
rubbed several times with St.
Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness
was so much reduced that the
boy was able to use his -leg
freely. DR.. Knipe said it was
the use of St. Jacobs Oil that
cured the stiffness. Mr.. Nyce
himself used the Great German
Remedy for toothaehe with
good effect, and also for a sprain
and pains of rheumatic nature,
and always with good effect.
Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks
the Oil is splendid thing. and
she always keeps it on hand.

AFTER all, professional pol
ihcians are a queer lot: For
years John Bright, the English
statesman, has been denounc-
ing the men who wear the
Queens livcry-the holders OF
fat sinecure positions under the
crown. He has repeatedly de-
nounced these small offices as
schemes designed exclusively
to afford outdoor relief to the
aristocracy. It now turns out
that Mr.. Bright has been hold
ing one of the most lucrative
tive slnecure Offices under the
crown-that of Chancellor to
the Duchy of Lancaster. Be-
yond the signing of tickets Civ
ing admission to fashionable
marriages at the Savoy Chapel.
Mr.. Bright has really nothing
else to do than to draw his sal
airy, $4,000 per annum.

County schools,

The condition of the public
free schools outside of the cities
and towns is a subject that in-
terests every good citizen in
the county. Farmers pay a
large proportion of the taxes,
and they should know how the
school money is expended.
Under our existing law the
county judges have control of
the county schools, or at least
the general supervision of them;
nearly all of the county judges
are honest men who have an
immense amount of work to
perform for comparatively small
pay. They have more work
than they can get through with;
the public at large is uniform
ed as to the general working
of the county schools, of course
those desiring information can
get it by inquiring of the diff
ferent county officers. What
is most urgently needed is an
authentic publication furnished
by the county judge showing
the full particulars of the en-,
rollment, attendance and cost
Of tuition in each school dis
| trict. Were this done the pub
lie at large would be much bet
ter informed. Another and
needed change is a revision OF
the system of bookkeeping
now in vogue in most counties,
These matters are in urgent
need of attention.

Small-PON.

This dreaded disease is as
Stunning an epidemic form in
many of the states and is ap-
parently co-extensive with the
country. A number of cases
are reported at different points
in Texas, notably at Austin and
Corsicana, both of which cities
are in direct communication
with the entire state by rail,
thus placing it within easy
reach of every town; the dis
ease is a peculiar one and a
person with it may be able to
travel and attend to business
without knowing that he has
the small poX until it assumes
the eruptive form, in the mean
time all with whom he has been
in contact are liable to have
caught the disease.
Vaccination is almost a sure
preventative OF this dreaded dis
ease, and common sense would
seem to dictate the imperative
necessity of every person being
vaccinated. Those who have
been vaccinated rarely have the
small poX, but seldom having
it IN any more marked form
than a mild varioloid. Where
such a public danger exists it
behooves every person, old and
young, to be vaccinated and in
large cities the poor are vac
ciuated at the public expense;
no child should be allowed to
attend a school, public or pri-
vate, unless it has been vacci-
mated. The BANNER is not
disposed to be an alarmist, but
an epidemic of small pox
would cost our people an I'M
told amount of money as well
as an enormous sacrifice oflife.
Such a contingency can be
avoided-all that is necessary
is, that every person be vacci-
mated; this should be done at
once; an ounce Of preventative
is worth pound of cure, and
the old saying about closing the
stable door after the horse is
stolen should be borne in mind.
