Dr. Albert F. Swan has been elected member of the school board at Frederic, Colorado. A rather cheerful letter from that locality and from him convinces us that all is well with the doctor and family. Be good, Swan, and you'll be correspondingly happy. In the gloaming, oh my Darling, Where the nights are six months long; If I called and stayed 'till midnight, Do you think the old man would set the dog on me? Dr. Charles M. Worth, a homeopathic physician of Denver, has been elected to the board of directorship of a new telegraph company which proposes to put profits into its pockets by pounding down the exorbitant rates of the old companies. More power to it say we. Owing to overwork, Dr. George F. Shears has been obliged to give up his work in Hahnemann college, Chicago, covering the latter part of the college year. A much-needed vacation, it is hoped, will restore him to his usual health by the time commencement takes place. The College of Dental Surgery, connected with the dental department of the University of Denver, held commencement exercises at Trinity Methodist church in this city Tuesday evening, May 12th, at which time a class of thirteen was given diplomas. Mr. George Sullivan of Aspen was one of the honor men of his class. After an absence from college work for over two years Dr. J. Richey Horner has again entered the faculty of the Cleveland Homeopathic, taking the chair of neurology. We have heard Dr. Horner's name mentioned numerous times for the position of president of the A. I. H., and believe he would make a very capable official. * Just a little the "niftiest" piece of program printing which has come under our personal observation for the past some time, is that of the California State Homeopathic Medical society. The meeting is past history now, but the program should keep green its memory for a good long time. Riverside was the place of meeting and May 13th the date. The Supreme Court of the state of Illinois has decided that the ordinance which makes vaccination compulsory in Chicago is illegal. Thus another state has taken a hand in a tussle which has torn many communities in two, but which has been decided so often against the advocates of this barbarous practice as to convince one that their energies devoted to most any other effort might result in much good. Try it. A brief communication from Dr. W. A. Burr, dated at Pasadena, California, May 10th, conveyed the comforting information that the good doctor and his estimable wife were enjoying the best of health and not making any special preparation leading up to their return to Denver. Among other things he says: "We Like it here too well to make any change for the present." The Critique is delighted to make this statement. The Charles Woodhull Eaton Memorial Fund Association has been organized at Des Moines, Iowa, to carry out the wishes and suggestions of the Doctor, which were to create a fund to educate homeopathics physicians. It is the purpose of the association to accumulate a fund, the income from which will be used in making loans to worthy men and women who are desirous of acquiring a homeopathic medical education. Here is a propagandic movement that deserves undivided support. Dr. William V. Neel, a good homeopath, by the way, is the efficient health officer of Henderson, Kentucky. The Critique finds itself indebted to the good doctor for a copy of his annual report and from the amount of work which it shows of his having done during the past year, there is no reason to believe that he has "soldiered" any on the job. There were 215 deaths out of an estimated population of 17,500 or an annual death rate of 12 per 1,000. Pretty healthy town, that Henderson, Kentucky. Twenty-two Denver-Gross Medical College students evidently complied with all examination requirements inasmuch as that institution gave diplomas to a graduating class composed of this number, at the recent commencement exercises held in this city. Trinity M. E. Church was the place and May 14th the date of this important event. The Very Rev. Dean H. Martyn Hart delivered the address and there was a musical program of considerable merit besides. Taking everything into consideration the send-off of the Gross gang was quite auspicious. Doctors are given credit with doing all sorts of things. One of the latest freaks in this line is from Skowhegan, Maine; the doctor at this locality with a fierce-sounding name, having no telephone communication and being desirous of securing as much business as possible with the least effort, trained fifty carrier pigeons and then gave them to as many regular customers. The moment any member of a family having one of the pigeons becomes ill, the bird is liberated and the doctor does the rest. Wouldn't that put a pill in your pipe? Fifty regular customers and still no use for a telephone! Oh, well, we have heard of some funny things in Skowhegan before this last eruption.

Of Inte est to Everybody BRIDGE THE GAP.-During the spring months, especially if the weather has been of the varied sort, the profession has its hands full of cases recovering from respiratory ailments and which need particular care to steer them safely to normal health. There is a distinct gap which must be bridged over. It is the gap between an actual pathological entity and complete health. If, during this interval, the patient's strength is conserved and added to and he is properly protected, such a grave sequela as the grafting on of a tubercular process is avoided, and the patient progresses to a normal state. To bridge this gap nothing is quite so serviceable as a palatable cod liver oil preparation. The representative of this class of remedies is Hagee's Cordial of the Extract of Cod Liver Oil Compound, and it is in constant use by the profession and with most gratifying results.The Medical Era. THE PERIODICAL NERVOUS HEADACHE.-Among the most common ailments, especially among the young, are the periodical nervous headaches, and three or four times as many females as males are afflicted with them. Dr. A. F. Schellschmidt of Louisville, Kentucky, states that "they generally manifest themselves about the time of puberty and are very severe for a few years, but with increasing age the attacks become less frequent, until at the age of forty they seem to almost disappear and are seldom or never seen after fifty. They are associated with vertigo, nausea and vomiting. The pain is in and around the eyes and while the attack lasts there frequently is partial or total blindness. Those who complain of this trouble suffer from prodromal symptoms for several days before the attack shows itself in an active form, which symptoms differ in different patients. When treatment is demanded it is more for the pain than anything else. Opium will relieve but does more harm than good as it leaves the system in a worse condition to resist a subsequent attack. Antikamnia tablets give great relief and act quickly. An emetic will sometimes abort an attack. The bowels should be kept open and those diuretics which hasten the elimination of the urea should be administered. If the attacks are due to a reflex nervous condition the cause must be sought and treated. The adult dose of antikamnia tablets best suited for the relief of these headaches is every three or four hours." ་ THE BORDERLAND OF DISEASE.-There is a growing tendency on the part of medical men to recognize the pathological importance of certain, at present, little understood conditions of the blood. Some of these indeterminable deviations from the normal present none of the aspects of the anemias, but nevertheless bear a direct relation to increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.
