". S. uOYD'S SUCCESS
Great Popularity Of Plan to Sell
Medicine at Half Price and
Guarantee a Cure.

w. S. Lloyd, the enterprising
druggist, rather than await the
ordinary methods of introduction,
urged the DR.. Howard Co., to Sc
cure a quick sale for their cele-
brated specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia by Off
ering the regular soc bottle at half
price.
In addition to selling a 80 cent
bottle of DR.. Towards specific for
25c w. S. Lloyd has SO much faith
in the remedy that he will refund
the money to anyone whom it does
not cure.
When your head aches your
stomach does not digest food east
ly and naturally when there is
constipation, specks before the
eyes. tired feeling, giddiness, bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue,
heart burn, sour stomach, roaring
or ringing in the ears, melancholy
and liver troubles DR.. Towards
specific will cure you. If it does
not. it will not cost you a cent.
This latest achievement of sci
ence is of great value in curing
S i C k headache. Thousands of
women are today free from that
painful disease solely through the
use of this specific. 1924

Interesting Health Letter.

February IS, 1912.
DIR. w. L. Heller,
State Registrar of Vital Stats
tics, Bowling Green, Ky.
Dear Doctor:
Through newspaper reports, the
Bulletins of the State Boards of
Health and personal conferences,
l have learned of the kind of health
work the local registrars of Ken
lucky are doing. 1t is shown that
they not only endeavor to secure
complete records of births and
deaths, but. acting under the au-
thority of Kentuck's Vital Stats
tics law, they report epidemics of
Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria. Meas
les, Infantile Paralysis and other
communicable diseases aud aid
actively in distributing literature,
and, in other ways, limit the spread
of these scourges.
By so doing, the registrars of
Kentucky have succeeded in put
ting into actual practice the pur-
pose of such law, that is, to pre-
serve and conserve the health and
lives of the people.
1t is my purpose to call the at
| tention of the local registrars of
other twenty-one of the United
States under this registration law
to the work done by the registrars
of Kentucky that the greatest
good may be secured from it's
operation.
Very truly yours,
Cressy L. Wilbur,
Chief Statistician.
The birth returns for 1911 num-
bered 6O,732 and for 1912, 81, 199.
These will be increased by some
delayed reports. The death for
1911 numbered 3O,5S3 and for
1912, 29,649. The deaths from
consumption (Tuberculosis) for
1911 were 5.181, and for 1912.
4,72S, a substantial decrease. Ty-
pboid Fever, likewise, showed a
reduction in prevalence and fatal
ty, being 1,O35 in 1911 and 1853 in
1912. Diphtheria showed a slight
gain, being 545 in 1911 and 687 in
1912. The following shows the
number of deaths from other pre-
ventable diseases:
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1913-02-26

Cancer shows an increase; 9O9
in 1911 and 943 in 1912. A Bulle'
tin containing an article on this
disease, which is free from techni-
cal language, may be obtained by
request to the State Board of
Health, Bowling Green.
Violence showed in 1911, 1926
deaths, and in 1912, 1,719.
A remarkable fact of all these
deaths is that in 1911, Al of every
one hundred deaths were caused
by diseases practically preventa-
BILE. 1912 showed 80 per hundred
dead of diseases that can and
ought to be prevented.
The Federal Government ac-
cepts these certificates from Ken
lucky as complete, though the
doctors in MANY cases can improve
their quality by giving exact and
scientific causes of deaths.
The births would likewise be ac-
cepted were it not for the delin-
quency on the part of some physi-
clans and midwives in Louisville,
Paducah. Greensboro, Covington
a n d Lexington. A systematic
house-to-house inspection for un.
reported births is now being made
and prosecutions will be instituted
to bring these up to the standard
of the rest of the State, in which
it is believed IS per cent. of all
births is being reported,

Helping Men to the far m.

If Congress grants the request
of the Department of Commerce
and Labor for 100000 appro-
priations to maintain bureaus of
information at Chicago, New Or
leans and San Francisco, the de-
partment believes it can accomplish
great results in the next few years
in getting men from the city to the
farm. 1t will proceed with the
work, whether it gets the amount
asked for or only 100000 in all,
as rather expected.
This plant does not contemplate
a "back-to-the-farm" movement
primarily as a means of diverting
the trend of population country
ward. Its purpose is to find out
the men in the cities who are tired
of that life and are anxious to get
on the land, either as laborers or
proprietors, and its inquiries would
be chiefly directed toward men who
came from the farm. either in the
U mite d States or Europe. 1t
would also aid in bringing back
from Canada large numbers of
American farmers who went there
and became tired of conditions.
AS far as outlined, the scheme
seems to be very practical and po-
tential of far-reaching results. The
fact that it does not seek to induce
the city bred man to go to the farm
makes it appear all the more ra-
tional. 1t is quite agreed among
those who have studied this prob
lem that any back-to-the-farm
movement promising permanent
success must begin and for good
while confine its labors chiefly
among the men who once we're
used to the farm, many of whom,
this information bureau discovers,
are eager to return, and would,
with a little assistance in locating
inviting opportunities. - Omaha
