CANAL EMPLOYEES
DEAD OF YELLOW JACK
Americans Who Recently Arrived at
Panama Fall Easy Victims-Two
Suecumb to Disease.

According to reports. yellow fever is
increasing on the Isthmus of Panama.
With the rapid advance of spring. there
Is sight indication of a general cpl
denlie.
Under date of February II, the chief
sanitary officer of the United States
Isthmian Canal Commission reported
that between July and February /.
thirty-one cases had been reported, ten
of which resulted in death.
During the first two weeks IN Febru-
airy. five new cases developed; deaths re-
sulting in two cases. The two deaths in
question were Americans in the employ
of the Isthnian Cana Commission. It
appears that Americans who have but
recently arrived are more susceptible to
the disease than any other people.
The health officials CT the Government
are doing everything possible to bring
about perfect sanitary conditions, but
the effort Is a gigantic one. During the
month of December the sanitary depart
ment fumigated 1,6S5, 100 cubic feet OF
space in buii liItgs. and in the months
which have followed the work in this
direction has been even greater About
700 persons are employed in the work. =
With the approach of spring 1t is more
than &fobabfe shat the cases of yellow
fever will increase, and an epidemic may
result before the summer Is over.

How Consumption

1t Is not generally known that there
are four separate and distinct types OF

methods of examinations fail to reveal
or distinguish one from the other.
Medical mistakes in diagnosis or treat
Inent are frightfully common and
dangerous. The early discovery of con
sumption by the new Knight is the only
guarantee of a speedy cure.

WHAT Is CATARRH?
Hyomei Cures This Common and Dis
agreeable Disease.

Hyonei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air pas
sages and lungs. It kills the germs Of
the catarrhal poison heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane, enters
the blood with the oxygen and kills the
germs present there, effectually driving
this disease from the system.
If you have any OF the following synp-
toms, catarrhal germs are at work some
where in the mucous membrane OF the
nose, throat, bronchial tubes or tissues
