titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar to the old plan
of watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of number further payment OF

Ia the "Bachelorv Girl Aeres

l was thinking, few days ago, on the

protest against this alarming depression in

tendency to single wretchedness car
not be condemned too strongly.

that you are missing. l was looking through

DR.. Felligant Chaplain OF the Homeo-
psthic Association.


pathic Association.
Dr. l. A. Falligant returned yesterday
from Birmingham, Ala, where be has
been in attendance for several days at the
seventh annual session OF the Southern
Homeopathic Association.
All the prominent homeopathic physi-
cians in the south were in attendance. and
DIR. Falligant said it was the most Success
full meeting since the Organization.
DIR. Falligant appeared in a new rcle at
the convention. He opened the session with
prayer, in the absence of Rsv. L. W. Rose,
who was TO have performed that office
The doctor gave thanks to the heavenly
Father that the spirit OF freedom and tolers-
ton existed TO such degree in this country
that each school of medicine could pursue
It's investigations untrammeled. he prayed
that the contest between the allopathic and
HOMEOPATHIC ideas would result ia much
gooo. he also prayed that the legislature,
| In passing laws relative to medical practice,
would be impartial and uudiscFiminative,
and that the minds Of the legislators would
be directed TO doing justice % every one
some of the brightest ornaments OF the
homeopathic school of medicine were
among those present In addition to these
were several lady physicians. who have
attained high rank as sxillful practitioners,
and whose presence added peculiar charm
to the meetings. IL is TO tbs honor of the
homeopaths chat they were the first to ad-
NIT women TO their schools, and TO recognize
the right Of womon to the fruit,on Of all
honors and benefits her intelligence and in
dustry could command
The gravest question before the associa-
ton was the right Of tho physician to in
yestigate and employ ali known remedies
and methods OF treatment for the relief OF
tie sick, untrammeled by proscriptive legs
letion at the instance of any sect or creed.
On this point The association took very high
ground, demanding of ali state legislatures
the same freedom IN meiicsl thought thai
is given in religious matters In other
words, they said: Require of ali physi-
clans proper medical education, but lei
the practitioner be fres to exercise his own
Judg Dsnt at tas bedside They deny the
ability or right Of alopathy to prescribe
therapeutics for homeopaths, or vice versa,
and said TO leglsla oTs: Hands off! Let
science prove It's merits by ts results, aud
let the community have the benefit Of the
truths developed
On this principle the association goes
before TIE Alabama legislature to fight the
proscriptiye legislation proposed by the allo-
pathic state society, and IL is confident of
winning the fight and OF placing It's brethren
in Alabama on The same plane Of equal
justice in all medical schools enjoyed by
physicians in Georgia
DR.. Falligaut was elected a member of
the board Of censors of the association.
