Tendency Of tho Times.

The tendency Of medical science II
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world Is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. It has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one Of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men hove to contend with,
can be prevented by the use Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack of Influenza tgrippe), and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy ras been used dur-
ing the great prevalence OF colds and
grippe in recent years. and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from q slight
cold when no danger Is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in BREATH
ing and pains in the chest. then It IS
announced that the patient has preu-
monia. Be on the SAFE side and take
chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. It always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

BELIEVED TO BE INSANE.
Edward Curtis Boon in Custody in
Baltimore

Edward Curtis Boon, twenty-five years
old, who said he formerly lived at Wirts
Franklin county, Va, was before Justice
Fechtig in Baltimore yesterday on charge
of abduction. 1t was alleged that he had
conveyed Miss Nettie Gertrude McKeever
from Westminster, under improper cir
cumstances. The young lady is but seven
teen years old. Her father lives in Day
ton, Ohio. Two weeks ago the young man
was leading the singing in Baptist church
in Westminster, where a revival was being
held, and it was at the church that he
met Miss Mckeever and asked her to be-
come his bride. At his suggestion the cou-
pie started for Ohio to get the fathers
consent, but when Baltimore was reached
the young Virginian suggested that they
get married there. An aunt of Miss Nc
Keever caused the mans arrest. While
in custody he wrote an absurd telegram
and asked that it be delivered without
delay.
AT the hearing before the police justice
counsel for the accused said he would not
have his client make statement, alleging
that his mind had become deranged over
religious matters. The justice discharged
the prisoner, and he started for Virginia
with his brother, while the young lady re-
turned to Westminster.
