How Bishop Potter Filled Out an Of

An army officer just returned from
the Philippines tells this story on
Bishop Potter.
When the bishop went out to Ma.
Mia a year or two ago, on his arrival
at the islands he was confronted by
q formidable list of about thirty
questions. The list, prepared by
Uncle Sam for Chinese and native
Filipinos was nevertheless submit
ted impartiaNy to all corners.
Gravely the bishop, as became his
respect of forms, wrote down his
name, age, occupation, place of birth.
He did not even smile as he wrote
NO" opposite the question Have you
any opium?"
But the last question was too much.
A look Of mock pain crossed his fea.

Fi.ARIA is a NEW DISEASE.
Responsible for the Death OF Msny
American Soldiers.

Responsible for the Death OF Many
American Soldiers.
Capt Charles Kieeffer, United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome and dangerous from
q medical point Of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange malady known as filaria is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
quartered on the islands. Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.
The 1rst indication Of fi1aria ap-
pears in the form of worm in the
victims thorax. This develops into
elephantiasis, which causes the pa
tient terrible pans, accompanied by
a constant cough. The sufferer is
worst at night, and the patient be-
comes prey to. insomnia.
The only remedy lies in an opera
ton. which in itself is dangerous and
rarely successful i. the worm, which
is a female, is injured and dies
through the operation, its poison gets
into the blood, the disease is increased
q thousandfold and the chances Of re-
covery are small.

Indicates that the. time has come.
The trout, silver of bacon in each,
are placed on a stone, first we'll dust

laid upon them. Now the hot embers
are raked about and over the stones,

Group, capillary bronchitis, and articu-

childhood. These all alike result from
catching cold.
One child catches cold and scares its

Another child catches cold, develops a

Still another child catches cold and de-

capillary bronchitis. The doctor is called,

child is lucky enough to live it has devel-
oped weak lungs from which it may never

And yet another child catches cold and
articular rheumatism is the result. Ankles,
knees, wrists and elbows become suddenly
swollen and painful. A long disastrous ill
ness follows. The child may live and be-
come convalescent, a miserable invalid OF
valvular disease of the heart. All these
mishaps are the direct result of neglected
cold. Peruna is the safeguard of the fam
lily. If a child catches cold, Peruna should
be used Immediately.
A few doses of Peruna and a child's cold
is gone. The apprehension of the parents
flee away. The household is free from
fear once more.
