There was no physician near and no time to be lost, so an old time remedy was resorted to. A young chicken was killed as quickly as possible, split open and applied while warm to the bite and allowed to remain there some time. When it was removed the swelling had in a large measure gone down and the part of the carcas of the chicken which had come in had turned verv dark.

Ap- What Some Rowanites are Doing Elsewhere Dr. McNaairy, proprietor of the Foot-Hill Sauitorium, made a generous offer of rooms or a ward to be fitted up, and kept by the Classis, when any member of the Reformed church might be treat ed for whatever ailment he has, and the'oxpenae will be a mere song. The offer was accpted with a rising vote. A committee con sisting of Reys J. M. L. Lyerly, C. B. Heller and Shuford Peeler was appointed to take this matter in hand, confer with Dr. McNairy, and raise funds for furnishing the rooms. The various pastors are to present the matter to the con gregations and take offeriugs for this work during the year. Two individuals have pledged them selves ten dollars each for this work. Let others respond. Tend in your pledge to the committee. It is the purpose of the Classis to make it possible for any and every member, no matter how poor to have all prcper treatment and care here. With reference to the Hospital, we can unhesitat ingly say it is equal to the best. There are among the physicians three members of the Reformed church, and these are specialists.
