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

Many people in the United States are
afflicted with queer disease, according
10 a statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
statement:
Many persons who come and write to
my headquarters at 53d and jefferson
sts,, Philadelphia. Pa. think they are
suffering from simple stomach trouble,
when In reality they are the victims OF
an entirely different disease-that Of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
Internal parasites. which locate in the
upper bowel and consume large per-
centage OF the nutriment In undigested
food. They sometimes grow to length
OF forty to sixty feet. One may have a
tape worm for years and never know
the cause Of his or her III health
Persons who are suffering from one
Of these creatures become nervous. weak
and irritable, and tire at the least ex-
ertion. The tape worms rob one OF am
bltion 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 Is not victim OF tape
worm.
"The most common symptom Of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite At
times the person is ravenously hungry
Ane cannot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight OF food is loathsome
There Is 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
tTation.
II have a treatment which has had
wonderful success In eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course OF its regular action in aiding
digestion. and ridding the blood, kidneys
and liver OF impurities It has proven fatal
10 these great worms. If one has a tape
worm, this treatment will. in nine cases
out OF ten, stupefy and pass II away, but
II not. the treatment will rebuild the
rundown person, who Is probably suffer
ing from stomach trouble and n general
anaemic condition My doctors report
marvellous success here with this treat
ment. Fully dozen persons have passed
these worms, but they are naturally reti-
cent about discussing them. and Of course
we cannot violate their confidence by CIV

BIG LEAGUES RAID
Soon Begin to Grab Up Minor
Baseball Stars.
Average Life Of Professional Player In
Major Company Is But Four
Years-Game Has Advanced
Along Scientific Lines.

One OF the laws of organized profes-
sional baseball provides that between
May 20 and August 20 Of each season
the 16 clubs which comprise the Amer
lean and National leagues can carry
but 25 players on tl;Gr rosters. This
means that during tie three most i'm
portant months OF the campaign 400
players are maintained on the salary
lists OF the major league clubs or this
number nearly one-sixth-65, to be eX-
act-have been playing in the two
principal organizations Of the great
outdoor leagues" for eight years and
more After August 20 the big leagues
will begin their annual raid on the
stars In the minors.
When the rack and tear on ply
sique and mental powers by everyday
competition for six months-the actual
playing seasons taken into consid-
GRAFTON, this is large percentage.
When II is also realized that each
spring some 600 odd ball players are
taken south for spring training by
these same 16 clubs, the percentage
grows proportionately.
1t has been said by those who have
made profession Of baseball for
years that the average life Of the pro-
fessional player in the two major
leagues is four years. This can read
lily be understood when II is recalled
how many athletes are drafted or pur-
chased by these clubs, taken south
and then fail to show caliber enough
to oust some seasoned veteran from
his regular berth. and are sent back to
the minor leagues.
There is still another point OF honor
to the credit OF the Go favorites
who have performed for eight years
and more. Baseball has advanced in
