The Doctors in attendance on the Medical Assoclation last week were entertained by Dr. and Mrs. McIntosh Tuesday evening at a handsome aud eleearit supper. Wednesday night the Doctors sat down to a splendid f-ast in the large dining room of the Newberry Hotel as the guests of the Newberry County Medical Society. The supper contin ued from 9.30 to 11; and then came wine and toasts and song, ending at 2 o'clock with "Auld Lang Syne", in which all joined. The occasion was a de-lizhtful one, and froaj beginning to c eud was thoroughly enjoyed. Dispute the Point. "I declare, John, I never saw such a a man! You are always getting some e new wrinkle."

National Surgical Institute. One of the Surgeons of this old and notable Institute will visit Newberry, J S. C.. May 5th, 1881, stopping at the I Simmons House. t The object of this visit is to give the ( afflicted an opportunity for examination s at or near their homes, thus savingi hopeless cases the expAnse of a trip to Atlanta. A careful examination will be made, and patients can learn if their cases are curable or can be benefitted, and whether it will be necessary for them to visit the Institute. In such r cases as can be cured, or treatment begun at home, arrangements can be made with our visiting Surgeon, and treatment commenced at once. Cases of Deformities and Chronic Diseases will be examined, such as Club Feet, Diseases of the Hip, Spine and Joints, Paralysis, Piles, Fistula, Catarrh, Female and Private Diseases, and Diseases of the Eye, Ear, etc. 1 Come early, as the visit is lim ited to the time stated.

The secutive Committee of this Board erforr all the work of the Board. Norts have been wade to- induce the egislature to enlarge the powers and he means of this Board so that it vuld effectually carry out its plans of anitary reform in the State. At the ast session of the Legislatu-re a bill avorable to this measure passed one ouse, but was killed in the other he Board of Health finds itself very nuch cramped in its work and efforts y the meagre appropriation at their mmand. The report of Dr. B. W. aylor, Chairman of the Executive ommittee of this Board, was read at e State Association last week. This eport contained several ideas and ggestions that are of interest to verybody. It urges the importance f general vaccination, in view of the 'act that small pox appears to be eadily increasing. All sub boards hould provide, in case of the appear. nce of the small pox for complete solation. During March a vessel rrived in Charleston Harbor hav g on board three cases of small ox. There was no provision for pro. )erly quarantining these cases-only 4,000 being appropriated by the ,egislature for quarantine, which mount is taken up by the ports of Pharleston, Beaufort and Georgetown. Phe Committee wrote to the Governor, 'ho advised them to use the $200 ap. ,ropriated to the Board of Health. o far no case has occurred outside of juaratine. The Legislature should ippropriate funds sufficient to secure a effective quarantine not only against ~ellow fever, which affects only the a ebast, but against small pox and )ther epidemics to which the whole state is liable. The non-appropriation enders the State Board of Health lost powerless. The Association proved its earnest iess and interest in this matter by idopting unanimously the following esolution : That we pledge our hearty ~ooperation, both as members of this Xssociation and as individuals, to the state Board of H-ealth and will do all n our power to aid in sanitary reform. At the Banquet Wednesday night he toast to the State Board of Health as responded to by Dr. F. F. Gary, if Cokesbury, one of the most earnest nd persistent advocates of sanitary form among the profession. As this ubject is one of special interest to the ublic, we append the remarks of Dr. ary : ifr. President : The necessity of a system of saluta *y laws for the preservation of health vas recognized at a very early period n an's history by no less a person ge than the Great Creator himself. En the books of Moses we find such a iystemn for the welfare of the children f Israel. Such a system was not onined exclusively to the Jewish ie,' for in coming down to mere ro et dates of the history of the world, s recorded in the works of Strabo, racitus and others, we find mention of ianitary laws. Julius Ctusar caused drains to be cut to preserve the health f Rome, and forbade the unnecessary utting down of the forests. In fact there is scarcely any nation of people ho have not adopted some measures looking to this end. The creation, therefore, of the State Board of Healhh in South Carolina is no invasion of the rights and interests of her people-no experiment that we are perpetrating at her expense ; upon the contrary, it is but falling into line and keeping step in the progressive march of civil ization. We follow in the wake of others, and it is a resection upon the sientific culture of our people that its reation is so recent The amount of opposition to the act is a still further refection upon the wisdom of our Legislators. Even after it was organ ized it was looked upon by some as a Trojan horse." We find the Mcdi cal Committee of the House refusing o make' a favorable report upona a bill to record the vital stati sties ; the very ounatn stone uponl whieb is re-ared all tht makes the labors of the Board reliable and effective in a great degree. 'he first year of its existence the Board spent but $300, and from this fact many members said if they did have no more use for money than that, it was a proof of its inefficiency. It takes time and experience to get any system into good and smooth working condition, and I am happy to state that under the guidance of President Tay or and his associates it is prepaing and maturing plans whic, when carried out to completion, .w.iUpac us ide hy side with older COLLEGE. - Newberry Co!lege, New berry, S.

Such information as State Boards of Health furnish can be found co where else. It peculiarly belongs to us as Medical men to solve the complicated problems of Disease and to give the public advice how to preserve Health. It is to our profession and these Boards of Health that cities and towns are indebted for a wise system of Quarantiue, and for measures that promptly stamp out epidemics that heretofore have caused such destruc. tion of life and crippled commerce, saving millions upon millions of money. Time will not permit me to say more, but I trust I have said enough to ex cite you to renewed efforts in its be ha,lf in the hope of making it not only the pride of the Medical Profession, but of South Carolina. Columbia Notes. The Senior of tU 'IERALD enjoyed a brief visit to Columoia last week and was most hospitably entertained by Mr. M. L. Kinard, who knows just how to treat a friend from rural parts. Speaking of that we are reminded that this gentleman has a shirt-no thing strange in this. It is a peculiar shirt and one that mankind has been in want of ever since the open-back has been invented. It is the "scratch" shirt, a pocket in the breast affording the opportunity of a delightful scratch. He has beside a splendid stock of clothing, which Messrs. Irwin and Kenedy take pleasure in showing. Clark Waring was seen on the street enjoying a brief rest, eating goobers. He says he has as much work as he can conveniently manage. The Shiver house, of which the Messrs. Bouknights have the control, is doing a livdly business and is filled with a beautiful stock. Messrs. Desportes & Edmnunds have a most tastily arranged store, their stock of dry goods, fine shoes, etc., are u nexcelled. WA. J. Duffie does not fil up as Al dermen are said to di,, but looks as much like himself as he ever did. It does one good to get a squint at and a shake with C F. Jackson ; we are pleased to say that he is as lively as ever, and So is Dr. E. E. Jackson, who is as appy as a big sunflower, and dis curseth eloquently on the discovery of the Mound Builders' deposits found on the Hon. J. C. Seegers' plantation. One of the most prominent features of Columbia is Col. Asher Palmer, as he sits in front of his ammnnoth tin and stove.nestablishment. As our foreman says there is no more room we stop. Dr. Wilhite. Among the Doctors in Newberry last week was Dr. P. A. Wilhite, of Anderson, the discoverer of anasthe sia. The Doctor gives quite an inter-. esting account of his discovery. In 1841 he was a student of medicine under Dr. Crawford Long, of Georgia. One day in his office he gave a negro a pretty big whiff of sulphuric ether, and the negro became totally insensi ble. Being very much frightened Dr. Wilhite sent post haste for another Doctor. While they were working with the negro it occurred to Dr. Wil hite that he could cut the negro's arm or leg off without the negro's feeling it; and he determined to make the experiment the first time he had a sur gical operation to perform. The op portunity soon occurred, and he found the ether to ne a complete at,msthetic. It has been used ever since, and is one of thfe greatest boons to suffering humanity. Smith's Scrofula Syrup and Star Cu rine are purely veg4table. Why will vou suffer with Cancer, White Swelling, Catarrh, Rheumatism, Kidney and Liv er Diseases, when a few bottles of these two great remedies will cure you? Froma C. D. McCurry, Newnan Co., Georgia-I take great pleasure in re commending to the public Dr. Cheney's Expectrant and Croup Preventive. My little son bad been a great sufferer from Spasmodic Croup during the night. Dr. Cheney, about two years ago, prescribed for him his Croup Preventive, which bas most miraculously cured him. I find it equally beneficial in all cases of Coughs. I consider it a blessing in my family. Every one should keep it in their houses. Try Smith's Scrofula Syrup for your blood. It removes all skin eruptions and will give you a beautiful and clear complexion. For sale by Dr. W. B. PJHA. 50-1y. The State Medical Association. i1m This body held its annual session in th Newberry Tuesday, Wednesday and t Tharsday of last week in the Hall of the Pr Knights of Honor. The attendance HI was large, the largest indeed since the b war. The offlers were Dr. B. W. Tar- qu lor, of Columbia, President; Dr. John Pe Forrest, of Charleston, Recording See- I retary, and Dr. H. D. Fraser, of Charles- g on, Corresponding Secretary. Twen- Pu y-nine new members were added to er .he Association. of TUESDAY. The Association wtis called together :1l< ruebday at 12 M. The reading of the minutes of last session vas dispensel 'Pr with. Drs. Nardin, Gary and Parker hle were appointed a committee on creden ials. On motion of Dr. Mayor, Jr., Pr he privileges of the floor were extended du to all physicians present. Dr. Fraser Cl presented, in behalf of Edward Perry, ca )f Charleston, a lot of stationery for the th ase of the Association-accepted with It hanks. The Secretary read letters in rom several physicians regretting their su inability to attend; among them was ov ano from Dr. T. T. Robertson, of Fair- du1 leld, in which he discussed the subject fal :f Euthanasia, advocating the idea that Cu it was humane and merciful to shorten pr he pangs of death whenever it is found wl that a patient cannot recover. At the th ,ession of the Association a year ago the ca Iiscussion of this subject and Dr. Rob- I -rtson's peculiar ideas created consider- th ble stir and made quite a sensa- er ion for a time. After the reading of th: this letter Dr. Wilhite moved, that, on av tccount of the absence of those who par- T1 ticipated in the discussion of Euthanasia ci: at the last session, the communication tb be received as information, and that its ae onsideration be postponed. On motion pe of Dr. Nardin, Dr. Baruch, recently re- fe oved from the State, was elected an of bonorary member. The rep'ort of the cir rreasurer, Dr. T. Grange Simons, was wi ead by Dr. Fraser, showing a balance ap in the treasury, after. paying all ex- th, penses of the year, of $113. It The President, Dr. Taylor, read his by nnual address, his subject being the i: [-lygiene of Infants. The address was fo] i learned and practical treatise on the do various diseases the child is subject to; thi iow to prevent and how to treat these liseases; proper food for infants, &c. th rwo ideas insisted on in this addiess ho ire worthy of special attention, because M hey concern matters of every day life th nd can be observed by the mother. bo )no was as to the clothing of children. at Dr. Taylor was very severe on that pandering to fashion by many mothers, A which tricked out d tender infant in the fashionable attire of bare neck and an arms. The child, he said, should be on protected in every portion of its body; ov that the lives of many children had un- th1 oubtedly been bacrificed to this silly ca fashion; he called it murder. Another o idea urged in the address was the ne- by ,essity to the child of abundance of th, pure air and light; that these were as se: ecessary as food, and that no child te, -ould thrive without them. We call -th, ttention to these things because they in are of such practical importance and of ap such easy observance. ed The report of the Executive Commit- cr tee of the State Board of Health was fir road. It advocated a more general vac- m aination; more effieient,quarantine reg- or alations; and the establishment of half ag a dozen meteorological stations through- T out the State. For a further notice of ye this matter we refer to the article head- sa ed Sanitary Reform in another column to and Dr. Gary's remarks thereon-.c Dr. Nardin, from the Committee on al: Eties, reported that the two. members wi of the Association who graduated at the w) Piladelphia School of Medicine gradu- er ated long before any irregularities had nc occurred in that institution, and recoin- w: mended that their membership be re- g taied-adopted. c The reading of papers being called le: for, Dr. Fraser read a paper prepared ac by Dr. Kollock, of Cheraw, on a case of tumor on the eyeball; he also read Oi the comments of Dr. Michel, of Charles ton, on the case. be Dr. Seabrook, of Lexington, read a L paper on Diphtheria. He said that this disease first made 'its appearance in A this country in California in 1856, and k< gradually advanced East and over the R whole country, reaching its highest p point in 1860, since which time it has w declined to some extent. He consider ed the disease as only a local manifos- E< tation of a diseased system, and thought was related to scarlet fever, carbuncles L and pustules WEDNESDAY. C The subject of Diphtheria was re- F sumed. Dr. Gary, of Cokesbury, said he did not trust much to local remedies; he regarded the disease as a species of blood poisoning, though not of Lbe class of carbuncles, &c. The best treatment ti is to give such remedies as will purify a the blood. Dr. Taylor did not agree R with Dr. Scabrook in the efficacy of ni trate of silver, but relied upon disinfec tants and perfect cleanliness. He agreed with Dr. Gary that it was blood poison. Dr. J. W. Spearmnan, of Seneca City, read a paper on the sanitary condition, of a ridge in upper Carolina. C Dr. F. 1L. Parker reported several E cases; one where paralysis of the arm, occasioned by the muscles of the arm having been severed by a cut, had been cured and the arm restored to its normal condition by reuniting the e nerves; another, a case of chronic n ozena; another, a very peculiar case, F where the patient, though able to talk and to swallow food without trou- N ble, experienced great difficulty in swal-^ lowing liquids. This case was curedn mainly by electricity. Dr. Mayer reported an interesting ase of operation for tumor en the jaw. ti Among other papers read was one by Dr. Gary giving his experience with Veratrum in Chorea, orSt. Vitus Dance, in which he had found it very effica cious. Dr. Timmerman, of Edgefield,C gave similar testimony to the value of Veratrum in this disease. Dr. McIntosh read an essay on Cin chona, as a substitute for quinine in ma laial affections. He said he found this 1 medicine answered the purpose of qui nine, and in some respects was prefer-r able, it being less nauseous to many pa tients and does not produce deafness as quinine does. Its chief advantage over quinie is its chleapness. Quinine costs ' $3 an ounce by wholesale; cinchona about one-sixth of that amount. Papers were read on various diseases by Drs. Taber, Bratton and others. THURSDAY. On motion of Dr. Nardin a resolution ~ was adopted excusing the Secretary ~ from all annual dues and appropriating $50 for him on account of the onerous " 'duties that devolved upon him; and also excusing the Corresponding Secre tary from annual dues. Papers were read by Drs. Evans, Howe and Trezevant. Dr. Parker, of Charleston, reported I several interesting cases of Neurotomy of the Optic Nerve, pointing or. the method of severing the optic nerve of the eye so as to retain the eye itself with ,s natural anneane and normal ' ,vements. Ile claimed that he was D inventor of the method by which is operation can be performed without oducing strabismus, or "squint eye". also reported several cases of eyes ing injured from excessive use of li or or tobacco. le told of several rsons who had come to him for treat -nt complaining that their sight was I adually failing; he found that the < rties had been either excessive drink- < or smokers. By leaving off the use liquor or tobacco their eyes were re- t )red. He said that there is no man r of doubt that the excessive use of .oholic liquors or of tobacco will in -n the eyes, and if persisted in will i duce blindness. There is a lesson re Lhat should be heeded. I Dr. F. L Parker, the newly elected i esident for the ensuing year, was con- i eted to the Chair. On taking the 1 air, h,- said: I don't know of any oc- t sion that has given me more pleasure t in this meeting of the Association. i has been the most intellectual meet- I P, the largest attendanceand the most t .cessful in every respect that we have er enjoyed. This state of things is e to the efforts of our able and inde- 1 ,igable retiring President. It is pe- I liarly gratifying to me to be called to t eside over this Association at a time i ien it is so prosperons. In assuming < - Chair I promise to do whatever I s n for the success of the Association. c was present at the reorganization of I s Association, and have attended cv- I V meeting except three, and on those i -1e occasions I was unavoidably kept r ray by professional engagements. i iere are many reasons why this Asso- I ltion should be kept up. It brings s ) up country and the low country to- I ther and thus helps to make all our i ople one. It helps to make the pro- t sion more efficient by an interchange r views and experiences. It is a spe- C I benefit to the country practitioners c 1o do not enjoy the advantages and t pliances that are at the command of s >se who practice in cities and villages. benefits the people of the whole State the dissemination of medical infor tion among them. Thanking you i - the honor you have done me, I will all I can for the continued success of s Association. The Assoeiation passed a vote of I inks to the Press, to the railroad and t tels for kindnesses, to the Newberry t .dical Society, to Dr. McIntosh and citizens of Newberry for a generous I spitality, and then adjourned to meet i Spartanburg the 25th of April, 1882. 1 Big Scare.

The only damage is that they are scared out of a year's owth, and the delegates fearing a re rrece, and that they might be hurt, t on the next train. This is Sniffles' count. 'f to Sumter.

S. P. Hughes, Pastor of the Ii, Sewherry Lutheran Church, has recent-: d< y returned from a quite extended tour North. The object of his tour was to olicit aid and procure funds for the I ,owpletion of Newberry College. The JE. - D ealled on Mr. Hughes a few I lays ago te obtain from him some ac :ount of his trip. His operations were confined chiefly to o Boston. His object being money be, S if course, sought out moneyed men- tl nen prominent in business circles. He ays that, with one exception, every nan he approached and from whom he Pi olicited aid for the College, r. evived im with great kindness; this kindness in vas not confined to their places of basi iess, but was evinced wherever and s vhenever he chanced to come in con act with them. He was impressed with W he generous hospitality of the Boston- A ans; though a perfect stranger to the >usiness men,he received frequent invi- . ations to their houses to teas and to linners. a What are their ideas about the South? dany of the leading business men of ca 3oston have, during the last few years, ., raveled through the South. In some lo -espects they have a very correct idea .m f the state of things among us, and st ympathize deeply with our present nc ondition, occasioned by the devastiting iand of war. Boston has for a long ime maintained close business relations l vith the Southern States, and her busi- M iess men therefore take a great deal of th nterest in the prosperity of the South. br 3siness connections have led to friend- PO hip and sympathy. The people of 3oston deplore the condition of affairs p, rought upon us by the ruinous rule of itL he demagogue and carpet-bagger, who in 'obbed uur treasuries and demoralized a >ur people; and they rejoice with us at re >r returning prosperity and hopeful fu- F< ure. These sentiments, Mr. Hughes ays, were expressed to him by many >rominent men in Boston. sa Air. Hughes says that the people of le ;cw England are especially concerned m n the Educational interests of the South. i hey have, he says, done a great deal i ince the war to ameliorate the evil of gnorance among the great masses of >oth races in our country: he thinks V here is not a single Southern State in tb he Union that has not, within its limits, pi )ne or more good schools sustained by ta gorthern philanthropists. Their money s constantly coming to us in this way; wd they give it cheerfully. Feeling a w leep interest in the future welfare of 4rerica, and regarding the education )f our people as the only hope of the it :ountry, they do not stop when they cc iave provided for this interest at home, p >ut extend a generous and liberal hand h o the need of edd-cation in the South. What about sectional feelings or pre- G udice? Mr. Hughes says that these eelings are more apparent in the South han in the North. With the exception >f a few politicians and some newspaper ditors, who seem to delight in sectional trife and unpleasantness, the bitter leelings that existed in the minds of ab- D litionists in ante bellum days are fast eaving the Northern mind. The great P,1 mass of the good people North entertain t he kindest feelings toward us; and F ey would have, it plainly understood -hat they are our friends. They are willing to bury and forget the past, and Vj o unite ranks in the march to a more prosperous future.
