Monroe County Medical Society.
ss The Monroe County Medical So
cicty held its regular meeting on
Wednesday, August 4th. Present,
Drs. Armstrong, Farqnhar, Steward,
Grimes, Kennon, Weber, Webb and
Rosenberg.
A paper was presented by Dir.
Rosenberg on Acute Pneumonia,
and discussion entered into by all
present.
a patient was presented and a
committee, Drs. Farquhar and Webb,
were appointed to examine and re-
port. The report was thoroughly
discussed, eliciting various opinions.
In response to a question by DR..
Steward on the Dietetics of Typhoid
fever patients general discussion
ensued and DR.. w. G. Webb was
appointed to present paper at the
next meeting on Typhoid fever.
Tie committee on membership re-
ported DR.. w. G. Webb fayorably
and he was duly elected.
DIR. Rosenberg submitted prop
osition to disband giving as rea-
son that the physicians of Monroe
County had not shown a sufficient
interest in the society further sta
ting that adjoining counties felt. the
necessity of one; that public inter.
est demanded it and that the physi-
clans of the county needed place
for joint discussion of difficult cases
DIR. Steward said that in his ex.
perience medical societies died sooi
enough and that in the future the
society would prove so useful to the
public and physicians that it could
not be dispensed with. In this DR.
Farquhar concurred. This seemed
to be the preponderating sentiment
of all present and it was concluded
to continue the society.
| The next meeting, Oct. 6, 1886
promises to be one of more than OF
dinary interest, DR.. Webb having
promised a paper on Typhoid feve

Section eleven hundred and twelve of
the Code of 1880, be and the same is
hereby amended by adding after the

State IN any quantity not less than one

in contained shall be construed to inter-
fere with any local law prohibiting the
sale of native wines; proUided further,
that the party so selling domestic wine
shall sell the same at his residence or

strued to prevent the delivery of wine
in towns, or to railroads or other common

When Prohibition is successful on

Sword and shield. (Clinton, Miss.) 1885-1888, 1886-08-07

As the temperance movement presses
on towards its final triumph new obsta-
cles will be continually thrown in its
way. The contest is to be one of the
most earnest and determined the world
has ever witnessed. All that selfshness,
money, official position, talents and
learning can do, will be done to save the
liquor traffic from destruction. Among
the most formidable of these obstacles
are those thrown in the way professedly
in the interest of the good cause itself.
At first sight they deceive many of its
true friends and for time lead them
astray. The devil is never SO hard to
meet, SO difficult to overcome, as when
he appears in the garb of an angel Of
lights d. Hastings.

The increased facilities in procuring

The power that supports the destroy
ing traffic is not in the dram-sbops. If
left to themselves and not protected by
law, they would quickly perish as COM
mon nuisances. The power and hence
the awful responsibility of their contin-
uance with all their malign evils, is in
our Christian Churches and Christian
homes. It is in the hands and upon the
souls of our Christian voters. They
could crush this monstrous crime with
blow, if they dared to stand out to-
gether before God, at the ballot-box and
do their duty This power and
accountability are not denied by them.
On the contrary, the Christian churches
have said to the world that the power,
the duty and the responsibility of re-
moving this great evil is with them
