sition Held Out to Them at
Drake University at
Des Moines.
WILL GO TO ST. LOUIS
Almost All Of the Medical Students
Who Left Here a Week Ago
Have Returned and go
to St. Louis.

Almost all of the medical students
who left here week ago are or will
be back in this city again for day
or so stay and are on their way to st.
Louis to enter the P. & S. College at
that place.
The reason for their coming back
from Des Moines and going to st.
Louis instead of continuing at Drake
was stated this morning by one of the
student class who left here a week
ago. The students who were trans
ferred from this college to the Des
MONIES college by the merger were
dissatisfied with the terms that were
held out to them by the head of the
Drake University. The work there
was altogether different from what
the students had been used to here
and the requirements for entry were
too stiff and the students becoming
dissatisfied with the rulings and es-
pecially the different studies than
they have been used to here caused
them to act each man for himself in
the matter and the majority of the
medics decided to leave, and go to
ST. Louis college which holds out a
much better proposition to tie stu
dents of the former Keokuk Meiical
College, especially so because they
will be given credit for all that they
have done at the Keokuk college be-
fore tho marpar
The work in ST. Louis is also similar
to that which was done here by the
medics and those that went to ST.
Louis in the first place are well salts
fed with the College of Physicians
and Surgeons at that place.
Those who will remain in hes
Nome and are able to meet the re
| quirements are five sophomores and
/ two freshmen who will probably fin.
ish their course at Drake University
Des Moines.
About ten Of the students who arc
on their way to st. Louis are in the
city today and many more of the
classes are to arrive in short time
ard go to the school at ST Louis.

Moines was stated by one Of the stu.
dents this morning.
The dental students will leave Keo.
kuk for Des Moines on the seventh
of this month and it is a question as
to whether they will be satisfied with
the Drake proposition or whether
they will decide to go to some other
school. Many of the students, both
dents and medics have returned to
their different homes over the coun-
try since the merger and number Of
them are yet undecided as to what
school offers the best prescription to
them to continue their studies.

which meets in annual convention in
this city December 8, 10 and II, that
there will be at least $500 delegates

LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS

After treating eczema for years as
a practically incurable bloc ddisease,
the medical world is greatly interested
in the discovery that it is not a blood
disease at all, but is due to parasite
in the skin itself. This parasite is cas-
lily destroyed by the external applica-
ton of compound of oil of winter
green, thymol, glycerine, etc, which
will quickly kill all eczema germs,
while soothing and refreshing the
skin.
R. A. Folkerts of Duluth. Mimi, tells
ton in treating patients:
There was a man here suffering
from Eczema for the last fourteen
years, and applied the d. D. d. treat
ment. | also applied it to man of
West Duluth, Mimi, who has been suf-
fering with Rheumatism for fourteen
years, and Eczema in his feet, and the
second treatment in both cases cleared
the skin almost absolutely. l hope
that everyone in the world will be able
to learn of your grand remedy. hTe
first application is only balm, and its
soothing effect is beyond expression
/ shall never be without it. and shall
use it among my patients altogether"
No matter how terribly you suffer
from eczema, salt rheum ringworm,
ETC., you will feel instantly soothed
and the itch allayed at once when a
few drops of this oil of wintergreen
compound is applied. The cures all
seem to be permanent
