Tendency of the Times.

The tendency OF medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
hest 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 to con-
tend with can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack OF influenza (grip),
and il 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 in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended 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 Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

with the following clever sarcasm:
Drink water and you get typhoid. Drink
milk and get tuberculosis. Drink
whisky and get jim jams. Eat white

and get Bright's disease. Eat beef and
encourage apoplexy, Eat oysters and
acquire toxemia. Eat beef of any kind
and get indigestion or some kind of germ
disease. Eat vegetables and weaken the
system. Eat desserts and take on pare
sis. Smoke cigarettes and die early
Smoke cigars and secure nice catarrh.
Drink coffee and tea and obtain nervous
prostration. Drink beer and have the
dyspepsia. Drink wine and get the gout.
In order to be entirely healthy, one must
cat nothing. drink nothing, smoke moth
Jog, and even before breathing one
should see that the air is properly ster-
ilized.

The secretary of the interior is ex-
pected soon to make decision as to the
beginnings to be made in the new fed
eral aided irrigation project.
Mr.. Newell of the geological survey
who has the irrigation work ,n charge.
has forwarded to the secretary all the
data necessary for selection of sites,
and their report 10 in the government
printing Office. 1t has been decided
that there shall be three projects inaug-
urated simultaneously, SO the chances
are greatly improved for one to be To-
Gated in the vicinity Of Southern Ne
vada. A dozen sites have been with
drawn from entry in as many states and
the report deals with the availability Of
them all. There is in the vicinity OF ten
million dollars available, says Mr.. New
ell to begin the work. This is ample for
all needs. An effort has been made in
Congress to pass repeal Of the stone
and timber act on account OF frauds
lately discovered in the taking up OF the
land, The irrigationists say it will not
cut off ary large measure of their reve-
nue. If this is reported and they do not
care to have any money tainted with
