DR.. Robert P. Cooke COmplimented.


lnthe Washington Star Magazine
last Sunday, DIR. William Thomas
Councilman, professor of Pathology
In Harvard University Medical
School, has an interesting article
on the greatest achievement in the
past decade.
Professor Councilman gives to
Maj. Walter Reed, a surgeon in the
United States Army, credit for the
greatest medical achievement in the
past decade, his work consisting in
the proofs that yellow fever is
conveyed toa susceptible individual
by the bite of a mosquito which had
previously bitten a patient with
yellow fever, and can be conveyed
in no other way"
Givingdetails of the experiments
which led up to this proof, 'Profes-
sor Councilman says:
In order to show that the dis
ease could not be conveyed by the
clothing and by the discharges from
tho patient. a small tight house was
constructed, in which was placed
soiled clothing worn by those
who had died of the disease,
the soiled bedding, etc. In this
house containing the filthy clothing
and bedding taken from the sick,
DR.. Robert u. Cooke, an acting
assistant surgeon of the United
States Army, and two young pri-
Yates Of the Hospital Corps, Folk
and Jermigan, all nOn-immunes.
slept for twenty days. They even
wore the shirts which had been
worn by patients during their en-
tire illness, None of them acquir-
ed the disease"
The DIR. Robert p. Cooke men
toned in the article is now a
practicing physician at Riverton.
He is Il son of the late John Esten
Cooke, the South's greatest war
time delineator. whose remains lie
ut the Old Chapel, and is a nephew
of Mr.. II. Powell Page, of Sara
toga, near Boyce.
Coming from such historic stock
it is no wonder that he was willing
to give his life. if necessary, for
the welfare and future protection
of the human race.
Major Reed. under whose in
Struction the experiments were
made, died of appendicitis on
November %, 1902. On his tomb
is inscribed and no tomb has a
prouder inscription-"He gave to
man control over that dreadful
scourge, Yellow Fever"

Mr.. Mitchell Buys 1.-The Glen"

Mr.. Henry p. Mitchell, of Rock
bridge county, who has been here
for some time, looking over Clarke
county property, with a view to
purchasing farm in the County,
last week closed negotiations by
which he becomes the owner of
"The Glen" near MilIwOod, which
has for many years been the prop
erty of Capt, William Page Carter.
THE Glen" which is one of the
prettiest places in the County,
brought S27 900.
The details of the sale have not
been perfected as yet, but will
probably be closed up in a short
time, and for that reason no state
ment can be made as to when Mr..
Mitchell will take possession of the
estate.

In MEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance Of oul
little darling, Pearl Symons, who fel
asleep in Jesus one year ago. November
%, 1905.
We miss the from home; oh. we mis-,
thee,
How much human hearts cannot tell.
Tis hard, ola, so hard, TO be parted.
From those we have treasured so well
My heart is filled with sadness.
Which time cannot remove:
For every day I mourn afresh.
The loss Of one I love.
Little Pearl died one year ago today.
Oh, cruel blow to me:
No more her tender love I'll know.
No more her face I'll see.
! know that it is weakness.
To wish thee back again,
But oh. how much loved thee,
How bitter is my pain.
Iknow that thou art happy.
In a glorious home above;
But oh, miss the sweetness,
OF thy darling tender love.
Though the sadness Of our parting
Fills my heart with deepest pain,
I will trust beyond the shadow
To meet thee once again.

The "ButCherilg" Season

Now comes the time of hog jowl
and hominy, spare ribs and sau-
sage; and other good things. To
the man who suffers from dyspep-
Sia, this is indeed the winter of
his discomfort, " for the rich and
greasy ' preparations in the form
of pork are too much for his diges-
tive apparatus to handle with COM
fort. There Is also sympathy for
the rich fellow who has abused his
constitution until the comedian
sings of him. He's worth million

Colonel Stevens Very III.

Col. Edwin a. Stevens, of
Castle Point" Hoboken, \. j.,
has been very III at the home of
his wife's mother, Mrs. f. G.
Lewis, since noon last Friday.
Colonel Stevens took an active
part in the late political campaign
in New Jersey, and it is conceded
that his personal efforts helped
greatly in the reduction of the Re
publican majorities. If the Demo
Gratis had succeeded in carrying
the State it Is undoubted that Colo
mel Stevens would have been the
next Senator from that State.
During the campaign Colonel
Stevens exposed himself greatly in
making speeches and attending

the election was over, came TO Ber-
ryville To recuperate.

vised the summoning of the family
physician. DR.. MacNamara. of
New York and Hoboken.
DR.. MacNamara arrived here
Saturday night, and has been asso-
ciated with DR.. Osborne since that
time.
Monday the condition of the
patient, while very grave, was as
satisfactory as the physicians could
hope for at that time.
The temperature of the patient
remained at 10l during almost the
entire day.
Yesterday morning the physi-
clans announced that the patient
was considerably improved.
DR.. Thayer, of Johns Hopkins
Hospital. arrived here yesterday
evening, and after a careful exami-
nation said that the chances for
recovery were now very favorable.
Colonel Stevens condition this
morning was still very good. and
it Is believed that he Is now out of
