h Most 6affiing Of Diseases to the
Medical Profession To-day
10 Epilepsy.
UNITED DOCTORS
NEW DISCOVERY.
Wonderful Results Obtained In Short
Time With New Method.
ResuItx Certain.

The most noteworthy addition to
the vast stock of private formulas
used by the United Doctors has been
made within the last few weeks. This
formula is for the most battling OF all
diseases-epilepsy.
While epilepsy has been treated
with more or less success by the
united Doctors for many years they
have not at any time offered epileptic
sufferers more than slight ~ncourag
ment as results were so variable in
Inherent cases that any treatment
was discouraging in its action. Now.
definite encouragement is
given epileptic sNfferers-almost posi-
tive results. Their new formula has
proven OF such remarkable merit that
they now class IL superior to any
formula they possess and guard It's or
lgination zealously. The results al
ready proven with this formula have
placed the new Treatment; as superior
TO any remedy known and excels even
sanitarium treatment.
This new formula while essentially
an epileptic remedy gives equal re-
suits In all other nervous disorders
such as sleeplessness.. neuralgia. ner.
vous headaches. hysteria. St. Vitus'
dance. sparms and allied nervous
troubles.
No opiate is used in the United
Doctors ne1 treatment for epilepsy
which instantly places II above any
present known standard II is abso.

Those who suffer only periodically
from attacks can sec definite results

work on the new medicine has been
going on for many years. Success has

Bureau.
Colum eus, O.. April Is.

I'M o.. April Is.
Attorney General T. S. Hogan is
preparing to assail very vigorously
the short ballot amendments to the
Constitution. He will not oppose their
submission by the General Assembly
but he proposes to take the stump
against them If they are submitted.
To-day he accepted an invitation 20
speak on April p to the Baptist
Brotherhood OF Marion and announced
that vaxaries Of government will be
his theme.
Attorney General Hogan also stated
that there will be a court test of the
Young bill to- take IN Clerk OF the
Supreme Court out OF the elective
class and make him an appointive Of
hcial. His views on the subject are
Numerically opposed 10 those of
Governor Cox. Considerable
has been rouse by the action OF
Governor CoX I'm making public the
views of John H.. Clarke. of Cleveland,
head of the short ballot organization
upholdinG the recently enacted law.
ii Is contended hat the incident fur
nishes MIR. Hogan with all the argu-
ment he needs against the increase
OF the Governors power.
Both Houses are expected To adopt
the new Cox taxation program which
eliminates uniform rule in taxation
and substitutes classification OF prop
erty: raising the tax limit from ten
TO fifteen mills exclusive of sinking
fund and interest levies by making
that limit permanent so far as real
estate Is concerned and exempting
public bonds from taxation. Single
takers who were routed when the
Bernstein bill was defeated last week
Will favor the new measures. which
Will be included in one bill. for they
are firm advocates OF the classified
ton Of property for taxation just rs
are holders of bonds and stocks. who
think intangible property should h.
taxed al n different rate from tangi-
bic property. Real sta owners also
are expected TO indorse the new Cox
measure. because of the Smith law
feature. The opportunity afforded
also TO exceed the tax limit as il now
exists will be grasped by city officials
who have the spending OF money in
their hands.
In the appropriation bill just passed
by the Senate. the Ohio agricultural
station al Wooster is practically the
only institution whose allowance was
not reduced.

Life Of Wooden Ships.

From the London Chronicle.
The old wooden ships, though they often
enjoyed very long life, usually began to
decline in utility quickly enough. The
Betsy Cairns, for instance, which began
