DID IT TAKE z

Last Monday night the city armory was
filed with men, but they were not there in
the capacity of prisoners but simply as ap-
plicants for vaccine honors.
The recent epidemic of small -poxin Dav-
enport has caused the health department
of this city to exercise more than usual
care in preventing its successful introduc-
ton among the natives of Rock Island.
The men engaged in the different saw
mills were requested to visit the office of
the health commissioner, and they came.
The came to the number of sixty or seven
ty. and for time two physicians were
kept busy in applying the virus to the ex-
posed portion of the brawny arms of the
men.
The scene attracted quite a number of
people, as it was quite unusual for so large
body of men to gather at the health of
fee in one evening.
The two cases of small pox already in
this city are quarantined, and all efforts
will be made to keep the disease in the two
houses already affected.

THE PROFESSIONAL PUZZLE.

The thing which puzzles physicians most
is to provide means whereby to increase
the strength of convalescents and those
under the dominion of chronic wasting
ailments. Nothing is of more importance in
the treatment of persons inclined to con-
sumption, or actually suffering with that
disease, than the question of keeping up the
strength of the system. The ordinary
means of nourishment are frequently una
vailable, and recourse must be had to artifi-
eial methods-to tonics and so-called re-
storatiyes. Of these, cod liver oil has hith-
erto been regarded as the most efficacious,
but in many cases it has been found d fiji
cult to administer, owing to the natural
repugnance of the invalid to taking such q
nauseating remedy, and the Inability of the
stomach to retain it. The Liebig Extract
all the purposes of the most powerful re
storative without offending the taste or
taxing the digestion, and affords therefore,
certain means of nourishment in cases of
extreme, as well as incipient decline. Its
nutritive properties have been tested by
the most eminent physicisians, and they
are unanimous in pronouncing it an inval-
liable aid in the treatment of debilitated
conditions of both the digestive and the
respitory organs. Its compatibility with
other remedies gives it peculiar advantage
over restoratives generally, the use of
which has frequently been found imprac
ticable. owing to the loathing and disgust
which they excite in the patient, and it will
be found boon to consumptives in cases
where all the usual remedies have been tried
in vain.
