SURGERY AND MEDICINE.
tainable and some member Of the fam
lily can rise to these requirements good
results will follow If the physicians
instructions are carefully written down
and accurately followed. Printed
blanks can usually be obtained Of
druggists on which to keep record Of

Nursing In Chronic illness.
In chronic diseases it usually falls
to the lot Of some member Of the fam
lily TO do the nursing. Here is where
the physician should keep watchful
eye open and see that the fearful tyr
amy of chronic invalidism does not
exact an unnecessary sacrifice. The
chronic invalid becomes self centered,
lives in world apart, where the bodi-
ly processes or infrmities fill nearly
the whole field of consciousness. This
self absorption and introspection are
often unduly fOStered and encouraged
through tender hearted sympathy on
the part of family and friends.
There are few diseases that justify
the slavery that is so often imposed
by the chronic invalid, 1t is the ply
sician's duty to bring about more
normal relationship and lift his patient
out of the rut Of weak self pity and
selfish tyranny over others.
Chronic disease is indeed a pltiable
condition, and the physician should be
the last to withhold sympathy or com
fort. but his influence should be ex-
erted to develop courage. patience and
self denial on the part Of the sufferer,
to the end that other lives may not be
needlessy sacrificed.
Persons who are called upon to care
for invalids should be compelled to
take proper exercise and rest. Many
a nervous. ruined life can be traced
to the exacting demands Of some
chronic sufferer. But the blame rests
not so much upon the partly RESPONSE
BILE invalid as upon those who permit
such exactions

The st. Matthews correspondent
of The State says Supervisor Zieg-

are about five hundred delinquents
out of a total of about 4,5OO taX-
payers. In this county there IS a
penalty of $50 attaching to persons
who do not pay this FAX, but those
who pay the tax and such costs as
have accrued will probably be en-
empted from the penalty this year.

Sell Cotton Slowly.

A circular letter has just been sent
out by the South Carolina State Far
mer's Union telling how prices for
cotton fell down in Sumter very
quickly from something over IS
cents to below -. The reason of
this was that the cotton was mar
keted too quickly and the price
refused to hold. Added to this
we're words of caution about selling
the cotton so quickly as to push the
price down. If the crop is sold
slowly the price will stay up.
