The basis of his treatment is described
as a more effective system CT lDocuIa-
tiOn than has hitherto been kn0"n. In
explaining his discovery to the Institute

tissues of the patient, bat a coating Of
fat which covered some microbes pre-
vented tie Juices Of the body from get

new system was to destroy the fat sur

more easily destroyed by vaccine injec-

the new treatment declare the benefit

IN MEMORIAM

On September 81. 1892, there was
born to Isaac and Elizabeth Mont
gomery SelSer, or Kinds County, Il
little daughter, who was destined TO
become a memorial 10 her parents.
She was christened Margaret Annice.
In early childhood she was bereft
of a mothers love and care, and a
few years later of devoted step
mother.
She was talented musician, being
a pupil of the great MASTER Philip
Werlein.
She joined the Presbyterian
Church in girlhood and later the
Methodist Church of which she re-
NAMED Il member until death.
She was married to LittletOn
Hardy Johnson, of Brandon, Miss,
December Is, 1855. To them were
born eleven children, five of whom
survive her, Frank Selser Howard,
Arthur, Miss Maggie, and Mrs. Effle
Speer. Besides these she leaves Is
grand children and 10 great grand
children.
Hers was Il life of noble service
TO others. When the Civil War came,
and they, like many others, lost their
wealth, and the husband almost gave
up in despair, she went to work
with Il courage that inspired others.
She taught both literary school and
music, besides caring for her family,
and for the sick and needy OF her
community. Never was the weather
too bad or the night too dark for
her to respond to any call for her
services.
When she was II years old Il
daughter in-law died and left to her
care six small children, the young
est, a tiny infant, to who she gave
a mothers love and care.
She always said that she was Will
ling to live as long as she could be
of any service, but she wanted the
Lord to take her home before she
became helpless and a burden on
anyone SO she continued about her
household duties until February IS,
when she was taken sick. She told
her loved ones, who were anXiously
watching by her bedside, that she
knew they wanted to keep her, but
that she wanted to go If God was
willing. And on the night of March
l., while she was quietly sleep
ing. the gentle spirit, with Jesus as
its Pilot, was borne across the Silent
