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

Many, people In the United States arc
affiicted with a queer disease. according
James NJ. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
Many persons who come and write to
my headquarters at SD and Jefferson
SITS, Philadelphia. Pa. think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble.
when In reality they are the victims Of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
internal parasites. which locate in the
upper bowel and consume a large per-
centage OF the nutriment in undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
of forty to sixty feet. One may have q
tape worm for years and never know
the cause or his or her Ill health.
persons who are suffering from one
Of these creatures become nervous. weak
and irritable, and tire at the least ex-
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal.
The victim Of this disease is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic
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 q victim Of tape
worm.
The most common symptom Of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person Is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight Of food is loathsome.
There is a gnawing. faint sensation at
the pit Of the stomach. and the victim
has headaches. fits Of dizziness and maui
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
II have a treatment which has mad
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course Of its regular action in aiding
digestion. and Kidding the blood, kidneys
and liver of impurities 1t has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tape
worm. this treatment will. in nine cases
out Of ten, stupefy and pass 1t away. but
If not. the treatment will rebuild the
rundown person. who Is probably suffer-
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors report
marvellous success here with this treat
ment. Fully a 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
ing their names to the public"

Trouble Was Rabies.

Sisseton.-Exoerts at MINNEAPOLIS
who examined the head of a hog which
had been bitten by one of the dogs at
Sisseton supposed to be afflicted with
rabies, found every evidence to show
that the disease was rabies. The sew
eral Sisseton people who had been bit
ten by dogs had already started tax
ing treatment to ward off h%ydrophobia,
except Maurice SCHNEIDER, but as soon
as DR.. Brown of Sisseton returned from

Wolf Bounty Claims.

Pierre.-The holders of wolf bounty
certificates this year will get only SIS
cents on the dollar OF their face value.
While the appropriation is $4,000,
the claims amount to $23,365. and as
the law provides that all claims must
be prorated out of the total amount
appropriated. the face value must
be scaled. For several years the APP
preparation has paid about 20 cents
on the dollar, and several spectators
have been purchasing certificates on
an estimate Of such a basis.

State Institutions and Dit.
ferent Parts of .he
State.

Pierre.-The state board or health
has succeeded in finding out where
they are at regarding the Indians OF
South Dakota. Recently there were
several cases of measles at the Indian
school, none of which were reported
to the board. Deciding that the health
of the whole community demanded
that some attention be paid to ques-
tons of this character the board,
through its chairman, wrote DR.. Walter
Wyman, surgeon-2eneral of the Unit
ed States, at Washington, explaining
the situation to him and asking for
instructions. DR.. Wyman informed
them that the commissioners Of In
dian affairs had ruled that since the
passing of the allotment act, all In
dams of South Dakota had become
citizens and as such are subject to
the laws of South Dakota. This is
an important ruling and the state
board of health now knows just where
it is at and the officials in charge OF
Indian schools probably have received
like instructions from headquarters.

Indian Wage Farmers.

Pierre.-That the Sioux Indians Of
South Dakota are beginning to look
out for themselves to a greater extent
each year is shown in the fact that the
Indians of the state earned as individ-
uals, employed outside of government
service, for the month of July $4,000.
Including those employed in the gov
eminent service their earnings were
$4,000. These figures do not include
the earnings of any of them as farmers
or business men in any capacity.
