In Blair county the teachers' Institute
just concluded adopted a resolution ask
ing the legislature to repeal or so ameud
tbe vaccination law tbat it will entail th
lea-t possible hardship upon children
physically unable to undergo vacolnallon.
There is quite a widespread opposition to
the compulsory vaccination law, and It
will be no surprise if tbe subject is
brought before tbe legislature at the com
ing session, says an exchange. And why
shouldn't there UB opposition? Tbe helo
ousness of subjecting tbe little children
to the tortures of vacolnation or depriving
them of an education, and allowing every
other human being to roam about and
spread contagion broadcast If be will,
should easily be epp rent to any one.
School children d not spread smallpox.
This fuct ought to be beaten luto the pates
of the vacoinatioi) orHnas once and for kll,
and the law as It relates to tbe innooent
little ones should be repealed without
further nonsense.

How One Ooctor Miocennlully Tri-ula
' I'lieu mollis.
"In treating pneumonia," says Dr. W.
J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., "the only
remedy I use for the lungs is Chamber
laiu's Cough Remedy. While, of course,
I would treat other symptoms with dif
ferent medicines, I bave used this rem
edy many times in my medical practice
and have yet failed to lind a case where it
bas not controlled tbe trouble. I have
used it uivself, as has also my wile for
coughs snd oulds repeatedly, and 1 most
willingly aud cheerfully recommend 11 as
superior to any other cough remedy to
my knowledge.''' For alo by Imnn A
