Drug treatment is useless in cases
Of pneumonia. The medical profession.
SO far as medicines are concerned, can
be of no assistance in the fight against
this disease. The sooner the profession
will acknowledge this to the public and
set to work to discover some specific
to save pneumonia patients, the better
for all concerned"
This startling statement by DR.. A. D.
Bevan, who stands high in the profess
sion, stirred up members of the Chicago
Medical Society at their meeting.
Several physicians spring to their
feet to protest against this arraign-
ment. All had to admit, however. that
there is no definite remedy known. and
they based their protests solely on the
contention that they might influence
the patient favorably by giving some
ease and by the moral effect of their
presence.

Not a Crime to Marry.

The law that a married woman shall
not teach in the public schools is fool
ish and tyrannous. This was the We
hement declaration of DR.. Waite, in
the discussion of resolutions presented
at the New York Legislative League by
the president. Mrs. Lille Devereux
Blake. The resolutions were called
forth by the case of Mrs. Jennie VAN
dewater. public school teacher, who
has lately been brought before the
Board of Education for disobeying the
law that woman shall net continue to
teach after she is married. Several of
the league members regarded this case
as special one, and declared that be-
cause of Mrs. Vandewater's unusual
ability in helping defective children
she should be retained. Others, with
DR.. Waite, thought the law was cruel
in any case, and confined the priyi-
leses of an intelligent woman"
