The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrat-
ed by living examples, which in many
cases might easily be done. If some
scholar who has just contracted cold
was brought before the school so that
all could hear the dry, loud cough and
know its significance; see the thin
white coating on the tongue and later,
as the cold developed, see the profuse
watery expectoraiion and thin watery
discharge from the nose, not one of
them would ever forget what the first
symptoms of cold were. The scholar
should then be given Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy freely, that all might
see that even a severe cold could be
cured in one or two days, or at least
greatly mitigated, when properly treat
ed as soon as the first symptoms APP
pear. This remedy is famous for its
cures of coughs, colds and group. tits
made especially for these diseases and
is the most prompt and most reliable

We stated in these columns few
weeks ago that we should publish the
laws enacted by the legislature of 1892,
supposing that that body would not
interfere with existing laws relative
thereto, but the former law was re-
pealed, and the laws will not be sent
out by any Vermont newspaper, so Ear
as we know, in supplement form.
We will furnish the laws, however, in
neat pamphlet form at Is cents per
