QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
AiIment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWS0ME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,

Many people IN the United States are
afflicted with a queer disease, according
to statement yesterday BY Professor
James NJ. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
MANY persons who come and write to
ny headquarters Mt SD and jefferson
SITS. Philadelphia. Pa, think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble,
when In reality they are the victims OF
an entirely different disease-that Of

centage Of the nutriment in undlgested
food. They sometimes grow to length
tape worm for years and never know
the cause OF his or her Ill health.
Persons who are suffering from ono
of these creatures become nervous. weak
ertlon. The tape worms rob one OF am
billion and vitality and strength. but they
are rarely fatal.
THE victim OF this disease Is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble. and doctors for years
without relief. This Is not the fault OF
the physicians he consults. for there Is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one IL not a victim of tape
worm.
The most common symptom of this
trouble IL an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry
times the very sight OF food IL loathsome.
There IL a gnawing. faint sensation at
the pit OF the stomach, and the victim
has headaches. fits OF dizziness and nau-
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he Is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
II have n treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of Its regular action in aiding

to these great worms II one has n tape

Ing from stomach trouble and a general

Surely Would Be Hard to Please Old
Gentleman With This Kind OF
Disposition.

There is in Washington an old
crouch" whose son was graduated
from Yale. When the young man came
home at the end Of first term, he
exulted In the fact that he stood next
to the head OF his class. But the old
gentleman was not satisfied.
Next to the head" he exclaimed.
What do you mean? I'd like to know
what you thins I'm sending you to col
lege for7 Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head. when you
ought to be-"
At this the son was much crestfal-
len; but upon his return. he went
about his work with such ambition
that at the end OF the term he found
himself in the coveted place. When
he went home that year he felt very
proud. It would be great news for the
old man.
When the announcement was made,
the father contemplated his son for a
few minutes in silence: then. with a
shrug, he remarked:

PHILOSOPHY TO THE RESCUE
Pat Went Without His Steak, but at
That Everything Was Not
Lost.

Charles Nagel, secretary of com.
merce and labor, says the Irish race
has, In addition to its sentiment and
romance, lot OF philosophy as one
OF its characteristics.
THE best illustration | ever heard
of this" he explained to dinner
party one evening, was the case Of
poor freshman who had been given
a fine, juicy piece of steak. Being
religious man, he placed the steak in
front of him. and there, In the shade
of the trees surrounding his benefac-
tors house. he folded his hands,
closed his eyes. and gave thanks TO
heaven for the meal. When he was
in the altitude of prayer, a dog rushed
up and captured the steak. Pat
looked around in time to see the food
disappearing over the hill.
Thank heaven. he exclaimed,
again closing his eyes. he left me my
appetite, THE Sunday Magazine.

were they that no one tried to take
