II had been treated by four differ
emit physicians during 10 years OF
stomach trouble. Lately I called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that / had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then went to q specialist who
told me had catarrh OF the stomach
and said he could cure me in four

HAS CURE FOR NEW DISEASE.
pes Moines Doctor, Using Electricity,
Follows Idea of Trainers.

Des Moines, Aug. 27.-Suffering for
forty years from the effects OF an
early attack OF infantile paralysis,
with one limb in half useless con-
dition, through the years he has
thought, studied and experimental,
DIR. Charles NJ. Collins of Des
Moines, has reached different con-
illusions from the large majority OF
physicians regarding the origin Of
the disease. He has. succeeded In eff
fecting a cure in one case.
DR.. Collins has taken his own case
as the basis of study and believes
that the only children to be affected
are those usually considered to be
extremely healthy, and with unusual
appetites, and those who are given
large quantities of meats. DR.. Col
Inns believes that this over-indulgence
in food creates an oversupply of uric
acid In the system, that this acid
settles In the outer part Of the cord,
in the nerve center leading to an
arm, or leg, finally paralyzing that
nerve center and rendering the men,
Der useless.
In his one cure OF the disease DR..
Collins adopted practically the same
method that the trainer of a foot
ball team does for a bad sprain or
bruise, using a static electrical ma
chine, and aiding this with a bake
oven, which Is a part of every foot
ball camp for the baking Of congest-
ed muscles.
The case In which DR.. Collins ef-
fected O cure was one of three at
Preston, Ia, during the summer of
1908. One victim died, the second is
helpless to this day, while the third,
Anna Often, a girl of German parent
age, fourteen years of age, was rem
dered helpless. Six months later, she
was brought to DR.. Collins Office at
Maquoketa for treatment, the girl be-
ing unable to walk at that time, ex-
cepting when supported by her faith
er. She was able to take large volt
age from the electric machine, much
larger than a normal person would,
and by alternating the treatments
day by day, she gradually regained
the use OF the limb and six months
later was able to walk with ease,
even the limp apparent in the first
months of the cure having disap-
peared.

IOWA TUBERCULOSIS
State Lecturer Warns People
Against White Plague
ENFORCE ANTI-SPITTlNG LAW
Tubercular Cows Are a Great Menace
to Little Children-Dr. A. e. KEEP
ford Issues Warning Against
Milk.

Des Moines, Aug. 27.-Dairy condi-
tions in Des Moines and elsewhere
in Iowa received attention from DR..
A. E. Kepford, the state tuberculosis
expert, in his latest bulletin on the
progress of the white plague" He
says that tuberculosis abounds in
dairy districts" and that "the tuber-
culous animal is serious menace to
the health OF community, this par
ticularly with reference to little chill
dren, whose food supply is obtained
largely from the dairy"
DR.. Kepford further states that tu-
berculosis cost Iowa over one million
and half dollars in the first six
months of this year. at should be re-
membered that tuberculosis is a dis
ease among the young, and that a
large percentage of those dying are
in the earlier productive years of
life." the bulletin says. This is a
conservative estimate, and would be
placed much higher by the most not
ed authorities conversant with the
ravages Of this disease"
The enforcement of the anti-spit-
ting ordinances is urged and the pub
lie drinking cup is described as "the
most unsanitary thing imaginable"
Following is a quotation showing the
extent of tuberculosis in Iowa:
Tuberculosis still leads all contag-
ious and infectious diseases as a
death dealing agent, barring pneu-
monia. For the first six months of
the year 1910 the health department
died Of tuberculosis, 68S having died
Of tuberculosis of the lungs. In the
same period there was none who
died of smallpox, 81 Of scarlet fever,
AZ of measles, So of whooping cough,
81 of diphtheria, 1923 Of typhoid fever,
IS Of appendicitis total Of 447.
From all Of these contagious and In
fictitious diseases, together with ap-
pendicitis thrown in for good meas
ure, compared with the number dying
Of tuberculosis, It will be seen that
the white plague is still easily the
captain of the men of DEATH That
this disease Is exceedingly infectious
is witnessed by the fact that it leads
all of the contagious and infectious
diseases by very large per cent.
The stealthy character and insidious
nature of tuberculosis, destroying as
it does, without exciting attention,
makes it imperative that restrictive
measures be established in every
community throughout the state"
