now pending in the Iowa courts. the
decision of which will be welcomed by
every city council and board of health
as we'll as township board of health.
for it will settle question that has
been more or less bone of contention
in every county in the state. The ques-
ton involved is whether the county or
city is liable for the expenses of a
quarantine When the parties quaran-
tined are financially able to bear the
expense incident to a quarantine for
contagious diseases.
In the test case which has just been
instituted, the board Of supervisors de-
clined to pay the bill, after the local
board had approved it and physi-
clan has sued the city and county to
recover over $500 for the care of cases
during an epidemic No one questions
the liability of the county in cases
where the quarantined parties are in
poor circumstances. but it is the i'm
position that many have practiced on
the county and city. that has resulted
in test case being made.

medical treatment to afflicted women.
Some time ago we announced in the

thousands of women from all parts of

This is the simple. mild and harmless
preparation that has cured so many
women in the privacy of their homes
after doctors and other remedies failed.
1t is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure of leucor-
