Tendency of the Time

The tendency of medical science
is 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. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia. one of the
most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have To contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza
grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any
tendancy of these diseases 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
confluence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is
suddenly 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 as soon as the cold is con
tracted. Ii always cures. For

Miss Adreon'S Mother Dead

The announcement was received
here last week of the death of Mrs.
Adreon, mother of Miss Francis
Adreon, which occurred in Balti-
more on Tuesday. Mrs. Adreon
had suffered for several years with
almost total blindness, caused by
paralysis of the optic nerve. Her
general health had been very poor
and she was in an enfeebled condi-
ton. The terrible excitement and
shock incident to the Baltimore fire
FASTENED her death. Miss Francis
Adreon, who had been with Mrs.
Ricamore here for about eight
years, is we'll known to a large
number of people in the town and
county, and this news of her be-
reavement will be received with
general regret.

The Normal School.

The legislative Joint Committee
on Site for the proposed additional
normal School for white women
has decided to defer visiting the
various towns offering sites until
after the adjournment of the Gen
eral Assembly, and since they must
report with recommendation to the
next Assembly, there can bc no
new normal until after January.
1906. This failure TO recommend
a site at this session defers the
establishment of the school at least
for two years. and in all probabil-
ity for three or four, since build
mgs will in all probability have to
be erected. The delay in the mat
ter will relieve the present General
Assembly from the necessity of
appropriating any money for the
purpose and will add To the sum
available for other purposes.

there he was very active in trying
to save the Company's property
and accidentally stepped into a vat
of tar. He was severely burned
on the limbs between the knees and
waist, as his rubber boots offered
protection to his lower cxtrcmitics.
The burn was so bad that all of the
skin peeled off, but the doctors
now think that he will entirely re-
cover, although he will be Scared
