NORWOOl The following account of the lil of Drj Westley U. Norwood, of Cokei bury, was written by Dr. G. A. Neu: fer, for The Journal of the Sout Carolina Medical Association: Wesley U. Norwood of Cokesbui died at his home in that village, Jul 15, 1884, after a long illness in tl seventy-eighth year of his age. H graduated in medicine at Castelto Vermont, and practised his profeseic for over fifty years. His success as practitioner was great and only lin ited by his power of endurance an willingness to work. His physical a pacity for work was remarkable, at this together "with energy, promptne self confidence, added to real abifr secured and maintained a practice 1 which few attain.

Dr. Norwood is known thronghoi the world for his labors and di courses in reference to the therape tical effectp of Veratrum viride. T1 money derived from the sale of th preparation- known as "Norwoa Tincture," brought him a handson income and fortune. The Shakers i Mount Lebanon, W. Va., man factored the tincture and paid 13 Norwood a royalty. During the wi Dr. Norwood like everybody else the South, sacrificed everything 1 had for his country, when the wi ended in 1865 he returned to Coke I bury penniless. During the war 1 had not heard from the Shakers ar i had been completely out of touch wii them. The Shakers, however,had not fo gotten him, they had kept a stri account of his royalty, as they co: tinued to make Norwood's tinctu: and turned over to him quite a han some sura which had accumulat< Idnrimr t.hp war. Bv this fortunate O currence Dr. Norwood was about tl only man In Cokesbury who had re money, the others had plenty of Coi 'federate money which was .th< i worthless. Dr. Norwood very wisely i:?*esU his money in land, and bought son Piedmont Cotton mill stock.

T] whiskey must be secured on pr seription of licensed and reputab physicians and must be prescribed o ly after physical examination. Tti much whiskey can be secured taxfre Copies of the prohibition enforc ment law have just been received 1 I the new revenue office in Columbi The new law as interpreted by tl collector's office, will also allow tl purchase of whiskey on physician I orders, for the use of hospitals f< the treatment of alcoholism. jN The section of the law allowing tl f purchase of a pint of whiskey evei ten days reads as follows: "No or but a physician holding a permit 1 prescribe liquor shlll issue any pr< scription for liquor unless aftei careful examination of the person f< whos use such prescription is sougl or if such examination is found in . practicable then upon the best infoi i mation obtainable, he in good faith D believes that the use of such liquoi by t such person is necessary and will !e afford relief to him from some knowr s- ailment. Not more than a pint of spirE ituous liquor to be taken internally h shall be prescribed for use by the same person within any period of ter y days and no prescription shall Ik ly filled more than once." ie The state law in South Carolina al[e lows a quart a month. The new fed >n eral statute allows a pint every tei >n days for medical purposes. It is belt a that this in effect makes effective th< i- quart a month law in South Carolina id ?Columbia Record. a id FROM A CHILD'S TOY. bs ? ty Just one hundred years ago Rem to Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec, one o * ' * Ji-i -l. the pioneers ox moaern meaicme, ou c- serving some children playing in tb t- gardens of the Louvre, listening t e? the transmission of sounds akrni e- pieces of wood, conceived the ide* o utilizing this method for listening t at breath sounds in examining a pa *- tient's lungs. He went home, faiihion a- ed a tube by rolliBg opMikbe glue Ie piper undtfcep e*pewm?pted fit! m this in his ward at the Neckar Hoi i? pital. From Jthis incident Aj the ?lptf den. dates the modern "stethoscope,' of an instrument well nigh indespensfb) u- in the modern practice of medicjttc The early stethoscopes contrive &r by Laennec, were unlike those >n erally in use in this country at^th lie I nmuint time for thev were eWi w strticted to be used by one ear o?lj 8- Nevertheless the original Laeftne type is still widely used in Eurofefu id countries. To us, who are accustojQafci th to the scrupulous cleanliness of ewry thing about modern hospital, it i#<ra r- rious indeed, to learn that the fifth: ct condition of the patients in the hos n- pitals in Laennec's time made it re re pugnant to physicians to listen to thi d- sounds in the lungs by placing the ea id directly on the chest of the patient c- Laennec gave his invention thi ie name by .which the device is stil al known, deriving the word stethoscope n- frqm two Greek roots, one meaninj :n th^ "chest" and the other "to ob serve" or "regard". ? J l In Uding the stethoscope the in ie strument should be placed on th r- bare chest wall. For this reason ; ie satisfactory examination of the lung ty can only be made when the patien 8- is stripped to the waist Careles physicians sometimes attempt to e> lis araihe a patient's chest through th n- clothing. Such an examination i [is worthless. If you want reliable in ?- formation concerning the conditio ce of your lungs, do not go to a doctc a who attempts such careless work. It i nd time and money wasted. tie Dr. Laennec was born at Quimp* in Brittany on February 17, 1783 en growiag to manhood during some < ch the most troublous^ years in the hit rid tory of France, lie, studied medicii er at Paris, receiving his degree < lc. doitor in i804.

He is like ! prospective any ana progressive goat, t He is neither capitalist nor laborer, > yet a combination of the two." It is roughly reckoned that there are five - farmers to every organized laborer. - That the farmer is "flirting with 1 organized labor" is charged by the 1 Peoria Transcript, but this is i vehemently denied by numerous far. mers' organizations throughout the country, notably the National Grange, representing about a million farmers, whose representatives sent to Samuel Gompers the following telegram in 9 the form of a resolution adopts at f the annual convention, in 'reply to - his invitation for a conference at 6 Washington i "The National Grange 9 declines your % invitation for a con.

If farmers' organizations should 0 affiliate with labor, such an alliance - "must be followed by divorce on the , ? - ground of incompatibility,'' is the 1 opinion, of The Pittsburg National h Stockman and Farmer, and the Peoria 7^ w Transcript believes thist if the fanner .

"The radical misleaders of organ& ized labor have long had hopes o|, , : r and of late have been making vain . e btds for, the support ofthefarmera," i- says the New Yoric Times, "but the f. farmers are suspicious of millenniums e to be attained by giving high paj for ft lii tie w?rV .Then , this ^newspaper 1 quotes one of the resolutions passed ' - by the Farmers' National Congress: - "We know that the forty-fou^-hour y week cannot feed the world, and we - proclaim that it cannot clothe it." - The Cincinnati Enquirer asserts that^ a "the farmers thus revealed the width ' r of that abyss which Separates them ? from the organized wage-earners of b this country," and the Sharon Herald . , % 1 observes that "the trouble comes e from the fact that too much stress is I put upon'the forty-four-hoft week ( - for labor, and not enough upon labor for the forty-four-hour week." Declaring that the farmer canfiot . i e be held responsible for -incre&se in & the cost of living that will result from s increased wages and shorter hours in '! t industry, the, National Grange at -their s annual convention recently adopted a resolution to the effect1 that spch e "increase will affect farm wages and s hours of farm labor in the saijie way ' i- and still further, decrease farm pro- ^ \ n duction and increase farm. cost3.n r The Grange also showed where it is stood in the mater of immigrants t Y who do not declare their intentkifi of * recoming American citizens.
