IT'S THE MYELlTE.
Pernicious.Germ Causing Trou-
BILE at Sterling and May
Strike This City.
GENERALLY AFFECTS SPINE
Symptoms Vary Greatly in Different
Cases-Partial Paralysis Often
Accompanies Disease.

Sterling medical men have come to
the conclusion that the trouble af-
fiicting the good people of that town
in such large numbers is the myelite
germ. The "myelite" causes an in
flammation of the spinal cord or its
membrane. and is in some cases COM
plicated with meningitis. 1t is a germ
dis ase. infectious, but not contagious
1t often becomes epidemic and is usu-
ally child's disease, but occasionally
attacks adults.
The primary symptoms are widely
different in individual cases. In most
cases it is first manifest by digestive
disturbances Some patients are trou-
bled with constipation followed by dys.
entery chills and fever, but neither of
the latter are noted in all cases. A
prominent symptom is a pain in the
back of the neck at the base of the
brain.
The physicians hold out the encour
aging belief that the cases where par
tlal paralysis is present the patient will
recover the full use of his body in The
course of a few weeks treatment.
How to Prevent Disease.
For the prevention or the disease
the following "don'ts" are recommend
| ed by physicians:
Don't Over-indulge in over-ripe OF
lunder-ripe fruit or vegetables.
Don't spend an unusually long time
in out of door bathing.
Don't over-eat during the heated
season.
Don't, while in heated condition
become wet by chilled water

Fred Koch, G10k West Fifth street.
Davenport, last night ended his life
by taking two drains of carbolic acid.
The tragedy occurred at the home fol-
lowing quarrel between Koch and
his wife, who was a bride. in May.
Their brief married life has not been
all sunshine, and ii is said there were
frequent disagreements. Yesterday the
couple went TO the home of Mr. Koch 5
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Koch,
at Bettendorf, with the idea of having
matters adjusted between himself and
his wife through the counsel of the
elGer couple. The peacemaking efforts
seemed successful, but ON the way
home, or soon after they arrived there,
the troubles broke out anew, and Mr.
Koch declared he would leave the
house forever.
May Have Been Accident.
Mr. Koch Informed a neighbor, who
endeavored to bring about an adjust
ment of the difficulty, that he did not
really intend to leave. but merely pro
posed TO scare his wife. A few min
utes later he took the poison. His face
was terribly burned, and although a
physician who was summoned worked
for two hours in an effort to save the
mans life, the poison did its work 1t
is not clear whether Mr.. Koch really
meant to suicide, or merely to frighten
his wife.
Mr.. Koch had resided in Davenport
and Scott county all his life. He was
about % years of age
