The microscope shows that in the blood
of every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above.
They are supposed to get into the water or
milk we drink. The germs multiply so
that one germ is capable of producing
about one hundred trillion germs in twen-
ty-four hours. That is why if they ever
get into the water supply of a town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions, however,
and they are the persons whose health ts
perfect, whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into a healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth of all the deaths in the
past two yecrs in that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into a perfectly sound, healthy condi-
tion. Be assured that you have rich, red
blood and an active liver.
Many years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, who is
consulting surgeon to the Invalids’ Hotel
and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y.,
found certain herbs and roots which, when
made into an alterative extract (without
the use of alcohol), seemed to be the very
best means of putting the stomach, blood
and vital organs into proper condition.
This seemed to him as close to nature’s
way of treating disease as it was possible
to go. For over a third of a century Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has had
a wonderful sale and the cures resulting
from its use are numbered by thousands.
It is a tissue-builder, better than cod liver
oil because it does not sicken the stomach,
or offend the taste. It strengthens or
renews the assimilative or digestive pro-
cesses in the stomach and puts on healthy
flesh when the weight of the invalid is
reduced below the normal.
Accept no substitute for ’’Golden Med-
ical Discovery.” Nothing else is "just as
good.”

action by the claim that it is

Call For Second County Mass Meeting.
As chairman of the farmers’
and citizens’ organization o f
Wise county, I hereby call a mass
meeting at the court house in
Decatur on Saturday, at 2
o’clock, February 18, for the pur
pose of hearing the reports of
the various school district meet-
ings, and such other delibera-
tions as may suggest themselves
to the organization. A full at
tendance of all farmers and citi-
zens is desired. All reports that
are complete should be sent in
beforehand. Those that cannot
be sent in prior to the 18th the
chairman and secretary of the
district will be prepared to make
a full report at such mass meet
ing.

President Castro of Venezuela
is still dallying with the United
States government over the set

have been pressed upon him for
attention, and a naval demon-

ity of the immediate future.
There is no credit attached to
forcing a weaker nation into
anything, but occasions often
arise where such a course has to
be adopted in order to maintain
the proper respect for the
stronger nation. That seems to
be the case now, and the little
brother should be immediately
brought to terms.—Ex.

A MARVELOUS REOORD.
The Japanese have excited the
wonder of the world from the be-
ginning of the war with Russia,
but not the least wonderful of all
their achievements is the remark-
able triumph of their field sur-
geons and field hospitals. The
report of the chief surgeon of
Gen. Oku's army will challenge
the attention of all western mili-
tary departments. The remark-
able statement is made that in
the entire army of nearly 100,-
000 men at this time, there have
been only forty deaths from dis-
ease, a showing that cannot be
equalled by any city of the world
containing a population as large
as Oku’s army, even in a time of
peace.
Going into details, the report
shows that from May 6 to Dec. 1
there were treated 24,642 cases
of disease. Of these forty re-
sulted fatally, 18,57'' recovered.
609 were sent to Japan and the
remainder were undergoing
treatment when the figures were
compiled. There were only 193
cases of typhoid, 34 of dysentery
and 5,509 of bori-beri. When we
consider the terrible fatality of
our army camps during the
Spanish-American war we can
faintly appreciate the wonderful
showing of the Japanese.
Scarcely less remarkable is
the showing as regards the
wounded. The figures show 21,-
089 officers and men were wound-
ed, of whom only 16 per cent
died. This is probably the best
showing ever made, but is large-
ly attribuated to the small cali-
ber of bullets used by the Rus-
sians.
The success of the medical de-
partment of the army is no doubt
due largely to the discipline of

Give Your Stomach A Best
Your food must be properly digest-
ed and assimilated to be of any value
to you. If your stemach is weak oi
diseased take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It digests what you eat and gives the
stomach a rest, enabling it to recuper-
ate, take on new life and grow strong
again. Kodol cures sour stomach,
gas, bloating, heart palpitation and all
digestive disorders. L. A. Soper, of
Little Rock, Ky., writes us: "We
feel that Kodol Dyspepsia Cure de-
serves all the commendation that can
be given it, as it saved the life of our

ly guards the commissary and
sanitation laws. All the corres-
pondents who have written of
the Japanese camps have mar-
veled at their cleanliness as well
as the personal cleanliness of the
soldiers. The Japanese are fre
quent bathers either at home or
in the field and they practice in
their living what Dr. Wagner
would call the simple life.
When we think of the experi-
ences of our soldiers in Florida,
Alabama, Virginia, Cuba and fin-
ally at Montauk Point, N. Y., it
would seem that our department
might learn some valuable les-
sons from Japan in the matter
of the commissary and camp
sanitation. So might the mili-
tary authorities of the European
nations. The English expert
