TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures. The
bets thought Of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t
has been fully demonstrated that pneu-
mOnia, one OF the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have t o con,
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamoerlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack OF iniluenza(grip},
and it has been observed that this
remedy cOunteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this REM
edy has been used during the great
prevalence Of colds and grip i'll recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is a~pprehended until it is sud
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t always cures. Fer

An Old Timer.

From the White Oaks Eagle.
Jerry H~ockradle, for about twenty
years a prospector in the White Oaks
country, living most of that time at
Nogal, returned last Monday from a
several months trip in Lower Califor-
MIA where he went to investigate re-
ported rich placer diggings. He found
some very promising mining districts
in Southern Lower California, but the
most promising claims were already
owned by mining capital from United
States. Mr.. Hockradle is going from
here into the Yaqui country, state of
Sonora, Mexico, and left on Wednes-
days train south for hat region. He
realized several thousand dollars from
properties sold in the Nogal district
last year.
