CASE AT WAMEGO.
DIR. Crumbine Goes to Investigate In
fantiIe Paralysis Report.

Infantile paralysis has taken an
other county of this state into its
grasp. DR.. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health was called sud
denly to Wamego, where it is re-
ported that an infant is down with the
infantile paralysis
Wamego is in Pottawatomie county
and the new case of infantile paraly-
sis is reported fourteen miles from
town. On this account DR.. Crumb ine
feels that there is very little danger
But the fact that this dreaded disease,
which cripples infants for life and
places them in the dungeon of living
death, has jumped over to a new
county, is alarming in the extreme.
The state board of health is direct
ing every movement possible for the
prevention and study of this disease
but it breaks out anew with out any
apparent cause. Conditions are
alarming and the health officials are
doing all in their power to calm down
the trouble. Last year in Pennsylvan-
ia the plague visited that state and
there were only four per cent cures.

Nervous

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
