Tendency of the Times

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The test
thought OF the world is being given to
the subject. 1t Is easier and betts to
prevent than to cure. 1t has bet n
full y demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous disc ases
that medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of lntlueLz. grip and
it has been observed that this remedy
counteracts any tendency of these di-
seases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven IN many thousands
of cases In which this remedy has
been used during the great prevalence
of colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con-
tdence. Pneumonia often results
from slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and Difficult

has pneumonia. BE on the safe side

Editor Times: These are

that the less a man knows of a

to say about it. More partic-

For instance, we noted some
time ago that the president of
one of our Eastern colleges
made the statement that a
laboring man with a small fam
lily could live comfortably on
S25 per month. Now, while
the eminent professor who no
doubt has to skimp along on
50, 1000 a year, may be able to
solve the hidden mysteries of
science, art and literature, he
has by his statement demon
strated that he knows no more

THE LATE DIR. ]. G. CLAYTON.

Until now we have not been able to
write with calmness- of the death Of
Dr. James G. Clayton who died on
the evening of June -4th last at his
home in Springfield, Ohio. No loss Of
a parent or of a brother could have
come home to us with greater poig-
nancy, and even yet our hearts would
reject what our minds compel-the
fact that he has gone for all time
from US.
DR.. Clayton was one of our best pro-
duets, talented, soundly educated, of
unimpeachable character, a man of
high aspirations, an ideal husband
and an unwavering friend. He was
graduated from the Springfield High
School in 1877 with honors and at
once took up the profession of teach
ing, first at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and sub
sequently at Jackson, and then at
Birmingham, Ala.
His ambition to enter the profession
of medicine soon led him to this city,
where in due course he was gradual
Howard University. Meanwhile he
was appointed to a clerical position
in the U. S. Pension Bureau, where
his exceptional scholarship and his
mastery of his chosen profession soon
were recognized and resulted in his
unsolicited promotion to the position
of medical examiner in that bureau,
a position which is most exacting in
its professional requirements and
which is most sought after. He con-
tinued in this office and position to
the great satisfaction of the higher
