While people along in years are nat

the annoyance of getting up. at night
with disagreeable bladder disorders, for
the new discovery, Croxone, quickly

Croxone relieves these conditions by
removing the cause. 1t is the most
wonderful remedy ever deyisd for rid

tirely different from all other remedies
II is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. Croxone makes the
kidneys filter the blood and sift out all

that cause these troubles.

SOLVES PROBLEM OF
MALAY MOSQUITOES
DR.. Watson Eliminates Water in
Order to Rid Peninsula of
Insect Pests.

How to eliminate the mosquito Is the
problem which has been solved by DR..
Malcolm watson. of Klang. Malay
peninsula, who is on his way now to
study conditions in the Panama Canal
Zone.
DIR. Watson has been concerned with
the health of certain cities in the fed
Grated MALAY states for thirteen years,
having been sent out by the British
government
He came, he saw. he conquered. At
the time he set to work, the new Port
Settenham had just beer ordered aban-
malarial conditions there. At present
Port Settenham Is as healthy as any
place can well be. the doctor says.
Conditions are Of two kinds. the doc
solution of the problem of drainage
The second means the elimination OF
the water. rather than the collection
of water into proper drainage channels.
Breed In Pools.
On the low flat land. mosquitoes breed
on stagnant pools. Proper drainage
for mosquitoes, and hence eliminates
malaria.
Whatever helps the agriculturist
helps the health conditions" says DIR.
Watson. This may be considered a
general proposition. Drainage and
Preparation of the land for agricultural
eliminates the mosquito.
We discovered mosquitoes on high
land, however. They were apparently
a different breed. There was plenty of
drainage there, SO II was not stagnant
pools which permitted the breeding OF
the pests, but the water itself. They
delighted in the water. The more water
collected. the more mosquitoes. Thus
we were compelled to put the water out
of sight. We accomplished this by
buryiny pipes and running the water
through the pipes. The mosquitoes dis-
appeared"
Spend Thousands.
Dr. Watson has apparently solved the
problem OF health in the Malay penin-
sula SO far as the malarial problem is
concerned. The government is spend
areas Of low, or swampy land. Even
more expensive, the doctor says, Is the
work Of placing the water of the lilly
districts under ground. Much of the
land Is rocky and blasting Is required
to make trenches. Realizing however,
that this means the solution Of the
malarial problem, the government is
sparing nothing in the way of assistance
either of money or men to carry out
the plan.
DIR. Watson is a Scotchman. He went
to the Malay peninsula in the govern
ment service. The solutions of problems
there interested him SO greatly and
have resulted so well that he intends
now to extend his study and viii spend
some time looking over fever conditions
in the Panama Canal district.
