pears to be losing favor in that pro
fession. Much sentiment against its
use was manifested at the recent na
tional gathering of dentists in Omsha,
and the opinion was general that the
* drug, if used at all, should be handled
with the greatest caution and modera
tion. Chicago deetista cited cases of
paralysis from its use, and many In

of habit, following Its ap

administration should be without the

B M. Blackburn, who was editor of
tho defunct Atlanta CoAmercial, has
determined to write a book. It will
give an insight to the mysterious life
of the paper he conducted at Atlanta.
It will bo remembered that when Mr.
Blackburn retired from lhe Commer

a capital of 75 cents and had endured
for five years. On the fly leaf of the
proposed volume these words will ap
pear, “Mystery, or How a Daily Paper
Was Published in Atlanta for Five
Yem Without Capital; Together
With the Pleasing Personal Impres
