Inc failure of the home in this

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend In This Case.

1t is not always that a lack of
money is a benefit.
A lady Of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling of her
case she says:
81 had been treated by four differ
ent physicians during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then l went to a specialist who
told me had catarrh of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. l could not raise the
necessary sum and in my extremity /
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.

son to believe it was injurious to me,

Pipe Gives Cadet Typhoid.

Midshipman Smith, who was strick-
en- with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth England, contracted the
disease, it is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly a year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had a bad
case of typhoid. This theory is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The
medical department of the navy will
examine into the theory with the de-
suit that midshipmen of the future
may confine themselves to their own
pipes.
