were no contests and but little interest
manifest, the republican county con-
vention at the court house on Satur-

called was speedily transacted, with
evident satisfaction to all.
Promptly at one o'clock the conven-
ton was called to order by ]. J. Marsh,
chairman of the county central COM
mittee, who read the call and placed
in nomination for the committee A. ]
Cratsenberg as temporary chairman of
the convention, and he was elected,
accepting with brief appropriate re-
marks. H. j. Green was chosen secre-
tary. Upon motion the chair APP
pointed the following committee of
three on credentials: HI. w. Masters,

rah, and B. M. Lien, of Resper. This
committee reported accredited dele
gates present from Highland, Calmar,

labor in persuadipg the Hindoo mind
of the efficacy of Haffkine's prophylac-
tic against plague and at the same
| time of its utter harmlessness in ev.
cry other respect.
The Hindoo Is suspicious that the
dead germs and their toxic eXcreta
may be of animal rather than vege-
| table substance, which would make the
| injection of the fluid into their body a
religious offense.
The measures generally relied upon
in the dry season were entire evacu-
alton of infected villages and ham
| lets, isolation of the sick. segregation
of the contacts" and thorough dis
| infection of all infected places. In To-
calities where the outbreak grew yiriI-
| lent In the monsoon, evacuation was
| impossible; but incubation was extern
sively tried and strikingly demonstra-
ted the protective power of the
prophylactic.
| At first, the people failed utterly to
understand the use of segregation. To
the masses, infection and contagion
had no meaning. Nothing but the
| splendid confidence of the people in
made sanitary measures possible in
the broadcast and rapid manner in
which it became necessary to use them
among unframed and uneducated mil
lions.
Owing to the enormous population
of the city of Bombay, and also to the
fact that many plague cases are sup
pressed, secreted, or returned under
fever or other causes, 1t is impossible
to get general statistics of the effects
of Haffkine's plague incubation. How
ever, | have few returns from up
country places of the results of inocu-
| lation.
At Kirkee, the plague broke ont
among the Royal Artillery followers
They were living under far better
conditions than many villagers, and a
Gordon had been drawn around that
place. Six hundred and seventy-one
persons were inoculated and $50 not
inoculated. Among those inoculated
there were 80 attacks and II deaths,
giving a mortality of 2.05 per cent;
while among the uninoculated there
were 143 attacks and SO deaths, or j
mortality of la per cent.
At Belgium, among the men of the
Twenty-sixth Madras Infantry, after
all of the Sepoys had been inoculated,
there We're only two attacks, both Of
which recovered, whereas before the
incubation there had been rs cases in
the regiment.
At Ganeshkhind, among the serv-
ants of the Governor of Bombay, in a
certain quarter there were 324 per-
sons inoculated and 800 uninoculated.
Fourteen cases of plague occurred in
that quarter, and every one of those
cases occurred among the 300 who We're

There is no better medicine for the

and effectual cures make it a favorite
with mothers and small children. 1t
quickly cures their coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other seri-
GUS consequences. 1t also cures Group
and has been used in tens of thousands
of cases without single failure so far
as we have been able to learn. 1t not
only cures Group. but when given as
soon as the croupy cough appears will
prevent the attack. In cases of whoop-
ing cough 1t liquefies the tough mucus,
making it easier to expectorate, and
lessons the severity and frequency OF
the paroxysms OF coughing, thus de-
priving that disease of all dangerous
consequences. For sale by all drug

For Protection of Treaty Rights,

the ignorance Of foreign governments
concerning our internal affairs, lie

antees,"
