How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware the pncu-
from an attack OF la grippe During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the at
tack was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used. 1t counteracts any tendency
of cold or la grippe to result in that
dangerous disease. Itis the best remedy
in the world for bad colds and la grippe.

Fifty Years Ago.

Many Of those who attended the
first meeting Of the Science association
fifty years ago, says W. j. McGee in
the September Atlantic. made their
journey, or part Of it, by stage coach
or in the saddle; they met many boy
riding to the neighborhood mill with
O. bag Of corn as grist and saddle, and
the itenerant doctor or minister on
horseback, with his wife on pillion
behind; they passed by farmers swing
ing the back breaking cradle or WELD
ing the tedious hoe, while lustry hor-
scs grew fat in idlencss: they caught
glimpses of housewives spinning and
dyeing and weaving with infinite pains
the fabrics required to clothc their
families, they followed trails so rough
that the transportation Of produce to
market multiplied its cost, and carry
ing back family supplies was bur
den; everywhere they saw hard human
toll enli:ened only by the cheer of
political Freedoms, and they did not
even dream of devices whereby nature
should made to furnish the means for
her own conjugation.. The mails we're
carried slowly by coaches and post
boys; the telegraph was little more
than toy; and the telephone, the
trolley car and the typewriter had not
begun to shorten time and lengthen
life; and steel was regularly imported
from Sheffield, and iron from Norway.
The slow and uncertain commerce Of
interior navigation was the pride of
publicists, and Chicago boasted a
population of $4,000; shallow wave
Of settlement was flowing over the
broad interior to break against the
bluffs Of the Missouri though the
pioneers still feared to pitch tents on
the broad prairie lands, and chose
rather the rugged and rocky wood
lands skirting the waterways as sites
for homesteads; the fertile subhumid
plains, with ten million buffalo on
their nutritious grasses, were still
designated as "the great American
