HOMEOPATHY.
Hahnemann was the founder of
Homeopathy. In 1897 he announced
the principle which has made him
famous. Although it has been re-
ceived with derision by vast ma
jority of the medical world, it has
steadily progressed in favor, over
coming obstacle after obstacle until
to-day the system of Medicine found
ed upon it, numbers among its pat
rons and steadfast friends large pro-
portion of the more intelligent and
cultivated people of each community,
in which it is thoroughly established.
The Homeopathic law of cure, Sim
lila Similibus Curantur, which means,
Like Cures Like, has progressed so
rapidly that now it is practiced in
every portion of the civilized world.
1t has been practiced about sixty
years in the United States. Now
there are eleven Homeopathic Medi-
cal Colleges, one Ophthalmic and Oto-
logical College, seventeen Periodicals,
43 Homeopathic Hospitals, 26 State
Medical Societies, SO County Societies,
43free Dispensaries,9 900 Hom9opath.

ed by them. The Homeopathic Law
of cure is in unison with Natures
Law, based on the law of Similars
indicating that the drug to be cura
tive, must be given to the sick fol
symptoms similar to those produced
by the drug lin large dose) on the
healthy person. Nature is always
endeavoring to remove from the sys
tenn the unseen cause of the disease,
therefore as Homeopathy is unison
with Natures laws, it assists, instead
of retarding her efforts. The diseased
organism requires a less quantity o
Medicine to have an effect than the
healthy, for instance the healthy eye
can endure great light while tho in
famed eye can endure but little. Tit
healthy organism resists any infiu
ence which is injurious to her, conse
sequently requires large dose o
medicine or cause to produce an eff
feet, while in disease nature is trying
to relieve herself of the trouble, henc,
a small dose of medicine acts in unis
on with her and increases her power
to overcome the disease. The HON
Gopathic dose varies greatly, the rule
with all homeopathic is to prescribe
medicine in the smallest dose possible
to overcome the disease, from droI
doses of the pure tincture to portion!
of drop or grain, at frequent per
iods, thus avoiding the sickenins
and grave physiological effects, (tha
which is produced by medicine.)
This school of medicine is repre-
sented in Martinsburg by DIR. l.. A

success in its practice. Office in Dor

THE 3. & 0. SHOPS.
There are many able mechanic.
employed in the B. & o. shops here
and faithful men at their work, but
we can only give passing notice tt
a few of the leading ones. Mr.. VIM
Edwards, the Master Mechanic has
held that position for a number oil
years, which is proof sufficient of his
qualifications. Several young mer
have served their apprenticeship un
der him, and become useful workmer
here and abroad. In Mr.. Edwards
Office can be seen his indenture of ap
premiership, at Tillingham & Win
ans, Baltimore, where he served his
time; there Camel engines were con.
structed, many of which have beer
used by the Is. d y. running east and
west from Martinsburg.
Mr.. John Marstella is the General
Foreman, and has all the departments
under his charge, "a position he fills
very creditably.
Mr.. John A. Bowers is the night
foreman, and good employee.
Mr.. Samuel Aler is the foreman of
the Machine Shop; where machines
of different kinds are put up and
nearly all the work for the engines is
done there; then goes to the other
shops where the engines are; num-
Der of men are employed in this de-
partment.
Mr.. VIM. Schade is foreman of the
setting up shop, where engines are
put for general repairs and in good
order. In connection with this shop
is the boiler department, of which
Mr.. Hartman Bohda is foreman; here
