FOUR DEATHS
FROM DIPHTHERIA
VIII, More. II, ENnIlnrr
Diphtheria Now Pervading Homes in
Topeka
Tgarty-six Gases in Lawrence Follow
Ell by -Four Deaths

Read this letter from Mr. and Mrs.
Drew. It tells what Golden Chemical
Compound did in their home when
their children were down with diph-
iberia.
"On readying the statement by Mr..
and Mrs Kraus we also take the lib
erty to add our testimonial to the
many already given, as we too have
had some experience with diphtheria
in our home. Our little girl. Violet
and our little boy, Vernis, came down
with that dreaded disease, diptheria.
We had two of the best doctors in the
city They both recommended anti
toxine and proceeded TO use It IN the
afternoon. but by the time my hus-
band came home from work the lit
tie girl could hardly breathe and
told him she would not live until
morning unless something was done.
He Immediately got q bottle of Prof
pound as we had heard of its wonder
full cures in our part Of town be-
gan to use it at once. and oh. such
chunks of the membrane came from
her throat and stuck TO the swab. In
a little while she could breathe easily
We kept up its use ali night, and in
the morning when the doctor came
she was not q little surprised when I
showed her the chunks we had re-
moved during the night by swabbing
with q. e. L. Inc QOCiQE StlQ IL Is
wonderful how quickly antitoxiI1e will
remove the diphtheria membrane. I
thought to myself how wonderfully
quick the Golden Chemical Compound
removes the mem brane, for It was this
wonderful preparation which did IT,
not antitoxine. and we will always
think had it not been. for Prof Rob-
inson's Golden Chemical Compound
our little girl would not have lived IN
til morning. Besides it acted just the
same on our little boy and both got
well. To add to the merits of this
wonderful diphtheria cure, we used 1t
on the other children as recommend
ed to prevent diphtheria, and not an
other child came down with this loath-
some disease.
when we read OF the number OF
deaths from diphtheria we wonder why
/ people are so slow to use medicine
which IS recommended by everybody
who has ever used it. We consider
/ it a pleasure to add our names to the
| large list of names of those who have
used this valuable remedy. and we are
safe in saying ali who use It in time
will as we have. have great cause for
recommending It.

The card for today at Emeryyiiie,
while not overburdened with class. is
well balanced in most OF the events
down for decision, and the nelos IN
all except one race, are large Inc
first race, a selling affair at mile,
has an exceedingly open look. W. rte

Warte Nicht showed lots or speed In

and fooled the talent recently py WIN
ming at a mile when it was generaliy
thought that the distance would prove
too far for him. Monaco Maid is I'M
proving, and ran well her last out.
Dorado was. heavily played to beat
Orchan on Tuesday, but was practicai-
iy left at the post.
The second race is also at mile.
Clandestine has not been going that
far. but looks as if he could, as he
has been closing strong in six FUR
long sprints. Miller will probably ride
him, which will cut some figure In the
result Ell chihuahua and Cloche Dor

the contenders. Invader ran good

pected to repeat in this company. Lit

classed. Avona ran poorly on Tues
day. If Peerless Las has a good boy
up today she should have little trouble
in winning. e. Dugan. an apprentice,
has heretofore been riding the filly,
and has hardly been able to do her
justice. Miller will probably ride Doc
Rowell's Pescadero in this race.
Orchan looms as the probable win
ner of the fourth at one and a
quarter miles Orchan seems to
be the champion hard luck horse,
and meets with some mishap in
almost every one of his races. He is in
a small field today. and may have bet
ter luck Dolinda will be the con-
tender Inflammable and w. B. Gates
will fight 1t out for piece of the
money.
In the fifth at six and half furlongs,
Lord Nelson looks best. and will have
with Cock Sure and Iron Watson for the
purse Alma Boy has an outside chance.
Nealon looks to be. in a soft spot in
the sixth, at seven furlongs. Durnell
has not been working him much, how
ever. since his arrival from the East.
He is $4,000 colt and looks good. Sir
Russell will be the contender, and
there is not much, choice among the re-
mainder.
