HOW TO FIGHT LAZY DISEASE
FIRST KILL THE PARASITE AND
THEN TREAT THE PATIENT.
Man, Has Issued a Bulletin
on the Subject

WASHINGTON, D. C.-First get
rid of the parasite causing the hook
worm" disease; then attention should
be directed to treating the patient
afflicted with the malady.
This is the advice given to physi-
clans and others for the treatment
of the so-called lazy disease by
DR.. Charles Wardell Stiles, chief of
the division of zoology, hygienic lab
oratory, public health and marine
hospital service, in today's issue of
the bulletin of that service. He
shows the mistake of first treating
the patient and afterwards the para
site.
For several years DR.. Stiles has
devoted practically all of his atten-
ton to investigating the hook worm
disease, particularly as affecting the
southern states, where it was found
to be quite prevalent. He ascertain
ed that the disease produced a pro-
found anaemia in those SO affected.
causing an inability to perform any
Kind of work and resulting in MANY
instances in slow death. The pubIi-
cation of DR.. Stiles conclusions some
time ago attracted widespread atten-
ton
Showing that although hook worm
diseases may occur in persons in anv
walk of life DR.. Stiles declares that
1T is particularly among the poorer
classes that it occurs, and that the
average nook worm patient cannot
AFFORD to lose several days wages
to undergo treatment. 1t is there
fore, he says, frequently expedient
to conduct the treatment Saturday
evening and Sunday morning.
Notwithstanding that primarily
we are to treat the parasite, not pa
uent, says DR.. Stiles, lit should be
remembered that if too great uuan-
tity of thymol is absorbed bv the
patent alarming symptoms and even
death may occur. Accordingly the
patient and the patients family
should be carefully warned rot TO
permit the patient under any circum-
stances to have on the Sunday during
winch the treatment is given any
food or drink containing alcohols,
fats or oil. Patent medicines should
be mentioned in particular because
OF the alcohol many of them contain
and even milk and butter should be
forbidden
Dr. Stiles then cites a case of seri-
Gus thymol poisoning following the
taking of copfous drink of milk the
day thymol was taken.

The Pleasure of Eating

is a pleasure that no one should be
denied. Life, energy, brain power,
all depend on what is eaten. One
must eat and the food must assimi-
late or there's decline. Keep your
digestion perfect and you can enjoy
eating.
If you ever have the least distress
after eating it denotes imperfect di-
gestion, and remedy is needed at
once. The best remedy is POINDEX-
TIERS TONIC. Results are prompt
from this remedy because it restores
right conditions. 1t overcomes fer
mentation in the stomach, and
strengthens the digestive organs.

NEW MExIco's SLEEPY GRASS.
Peculiar Effect on Horses and Cattle
That Eat 1t.

That Eat 1t.
While making a trip through the
southwestern part of New Mexico
Herbert w. Wolcott of Alamogordo,
n NJ, found a grass from which he
believes a narcotic may be abstract
ed which Will take the place OF those
now known to medicine.
The grass is known as sleepy
grass to the natives of New Mexico
near the Apache reservation" said
Mr.. Wolcott. Cattle and horses
will eat it the first time they see it.
1t makes them fall to the ground in
their tracks and lie in a state of
coma for two days. When they wake
up they have no i'll effect from the
opiate. But they will never eat it
again; in fact, they will run away
If it is offered to them.
This sleepy grass is not to be
confused with the loco weed. The
grass is reed grass, not unlike the
Kentucky blue grass in appearance.
The loco weed is a plant and bears
Hover. Horses and cattle become
loco fiends, and are worthless after
tasting the deadly stuff"

-Poindexter Tonic Co., Ellaville,
Ga.-Centlemen: About two months
ago a drummer for the Americas
Grocery Company, stopping at the
hotel here, recommended Poindex-
ter's Tonic to me as a good remedy
for indigestion. For several months

wretched health, caused from a dis
ordered stomach. I had had several
attacks of acute indigestion, and nv
health was so impaired that I was
unfit for business, but after taking
two bottles of Poindexter's Tonic l
was so improved that work was a
pleasure. / can testify that your
remedy will do all you claim for it.

ment organized TO crush out the Black
Hand order and other Italian societies
which have resorted to crime and
bloodshed in the furtherance OF their
vicious schemes. He had done more
than any other one man in the country
to stamp out these pernicious orders
and had in consequence earned their
bitter hatred. He died martyr to his
faithfulness In the performance of
very dangerous duty, for his life was
In constant jeopardy Threats against
him were matters of almost daily oc-
currence, attempts TO assassinate him
had been made often before the one
which succeeded. and he had grown
to regard such incidents as mere
part of his ordinary routine. With
splendid courage he stuck to his task,
never shrinking from the execution of
plan because 1t involved unusual
danger to himself. Now that he is
dead the authorities in New York and
Washington have determined to carry
forward the work In which he was
engaged with more energy than ever
and avenge his death by bringing to
an end, If possible the outrages which
have so excited the public and which
have aroused so much Indignation. In
this work the Italian government is
cooperating. and the Italian ambassa-
dor to the United States. Baron Mayor
des Planchcs, is giving his earnest at
tention to the fulfillment Of the policy.
1t Is hoped to remove the stain placed
upon the name Of Italy by the un-
worthy sons whose acts have brought
so much sorrow and suffering to many
homes and communities.
The American ambassador at Rome,
Lloyd s. Griscom, is also giving his
earnest attention in bringing the mur-
derers Of Petrosino to justice.
Lieutenant Petroslno was born ia
Italy In 1850. but was naturalized
American. He was. therefore. entitled
to the protection of the American gov
ernrnent. and his case is one which
would naturally and rightly receive at
tention from the federal authorities
even were they not already much in
terested in the work which he had un-
dertaken to discharge when violent
death overlook him. for he had gone
to Italy In furtherance of the execu-
tion of plan to keep members of
criminal Italian societies from coming
to America. That had been deter

how tirelessly he could follow 1t was
that Of homicide committed In Van
Cortlandt park, New York. On the
morning Of Aug. IS, 1905. the body Of
man was found there. 1t had thirty
six stab wounds. There was no clew
to the identity Of the victim. The sur
geons held 1t was an Italian who had
been man Of culture. Petrosino told
them the murdered man had been a
laborer and that he had probably been
q native of southern Italy. 1t looked
like particularly difficult case to un-
ravel, but Petrosino discovered In ex-
amining that part of the park near
where the body had been found a
small scrap Of soiled paper lying In
clump Of bushes. 1t had been tram
pied repeatedly by those who had gone
over the ground ahead of him. and II
was SO begrimed that the little writing
on it was deciphered with difficulty.
The detective finally made out the
name "Sabbato GlzZio" and the ad-
dress "Box 239, Lambertville, N. j."
Though there was nothing to Indicate
any connection between the crime and
the scrap Of paper save that the name
was that Of an Italian. Petrosino went
straight to Lambertville. There he
learned that Gizzio was working on
the Pennsylvania railroad at Stockton.
several miles away.
When he had found his man Gizzio
admitted that he had written the
name on the paper. He said he had
given It to his friend Antonio Trosielo,
who had gone to New York ON the
last pay day with S400 or $500. Giz-
zio, who was brought back to New
York by the detective, identified the
body Of the dead man as that of Tro-
sielo and told the police he had heard
that Trosielo had left Lambertvllle
with Antonio Strollo, another Of the
gang of railroad laborers. He also re-
membered that when Strollo returned
he had a wounded hand.

convinced he was the very man he was
after. He brought Strollo back TO New
York and confronted him with the
body In the morgue. The murderer
broke DOWN and confessed the crime.

service In spite of the efforts Of the
police to keep their movements secret.
That Petrosino was marked for an
assassin's bullet long before he left
this country is generally believed by
his former associates In the police de-
partment. He. more than any other
man, was responsible for the dcporta-
tion of about sixty Italian criminals
during the last year.
Petrosino was educated chiefly I'm
the schools of New York city. He was
discovered by former Inspector Byrnes
and put in line for advancement in the
detective service. He was man of
versatile tastes and attainments, and
