SESSION HERE FRIDAY

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Abbeville Medical Society was
held here Friday night and was ad-
dressed by DR.. c., M. Rakestraw, of
Chester.
DIR. Rakestraw's address was on
burns by the Chloromine-T method
and the use of that medicine for
asceptic purposes. His talk was
clear, interesting and instructive.
The meeting was called to order
by DR.. Neuffer, president, and there
was a full attendance of the physi-
clans Of Abbevile and the County.
The clinic, which is a part of the
regular program, was held and
many interesting cases were exam
ined and discussed. By this clinic
many people who would be unable
otherwise to receive proper atten-
ton, have their diseases diagnosed
and the composite opinion of the
physicians brought to bear on the
treatment. During the clinic each
doctor gave his opinion on the case
discussed.
After the meeting q supper was
spread at the Royal Restaurant and
the doctors enjoyed the good things
to eat. Then cigars were passed
around and the meeting broke up,
not because the cigars were bad,
but because, contrary to general
opinion, even doctors must Sleep

ATTACK BY BRAND
ON CLEMENCEAU IS
:. EXPECTED IN PARIS

Paris, Sept. 7.-Rumblings Of q
storm in the French political world,
which may involve the overthrow Of
Premier Clemenceau's government
as soon as the peace treaty is rati-
fed, were heard today by observers
who have followed the Tigers temp
testuous career as a director Of
French policies.
M. Clemenceau, they say, will not
fall during the treaty discussion,
despite the most violent assaults
against him, but when the diplomatic
problem is replaced by purely ma
tionai issues, ex-Premier Aristide
BRAND is prepared to attack the gov
ernment on the cabinets alleged
failure, financially, economically and
automatically.
The majority Of the deputies who
backed Premier Clemenceau's policy
during the war, even though it was
sometimes a dictatorship, reproach
him now for continuing his tactics
after the armistice. He made peace
without consulting them, they
charge, and still is keeping France un-
der war rules, although the war vir-
tualy ended ten months ago.
Throughout the early part of the
war, many persons considered M.
BRAND as the man who would sign
the peace, as many Of his social
ideas and political theories were sim
liar to President Wilson'S. He was
forced to resign in 1915, however,
on account Of M. Clemenceau's at
tacks and declined to resume action;
until peace was signed. Now, in a
series Of interviews and articles
written for the papers, M. BRAND
has definitely returned to politics for
the purpose of overthrowing NJ. Gle
menceau and regaining the premier
ship. He has won. majority support
in practically all the parties. The
conservatives openly fight him, bnt'
they constitute a weak minority
