INDIGESTION
 AND RHEUMATISM
People With Good Digestion Do Not Have Rheu-
 natIsm.

Hse blood is the product of diges- SasS1. Whatever sort of food is df- Eested in the stomach is absorbed into the blood. If the food is badly digested this is also absorbed into the blood. If the food sours in the stomach before digestion or during digestion. the acids are absorbed into the blood.
 These acids in the blood produce a condition known ss rheumatism. The acids are liable to produce mi croscopie crystals. These crystals are deposited in the fragments and cartridges, causing rheuma tisrn of the joints. Sometimes in the bones. pro- ducing periodic pains every time a storm approaches. Sometimes in the muscles, producing 1umbago. stiff neck myalgia, and muscular rheuma tism. generally.
 Pe-ru-na Corrects Digestion.
 The reason that Pe-ru-ra relieves Pe-ru-na corrects digestion. Peru na corrects digestion partly by hur- rying it. Pe-ru-na does not furnish any artificial digestant, 1t simply as- sists Nature in doing it's own digest ing.
 In this way the products of diges- ton are more normal. The blood Is not filled with imperfect1y digested food No acids accumulate in the stomach while .Pe-ru-na is being taken Thus rheumatism is prevented,
 It is a great deal better to prevent a disease than to try to cure it. But even after rheumatism has begun the condition that caused it ought 10 be removed if possible.
 Good Digestion Stops Rheum atisr.
 The first thing to do Is to secure good digestion, then if it is necessary specific medicines for rheumatism may be taken. But until the digestion Is made perfect it is of little Or no use to take medicines for rheumatism To produce good digestion Pe-ru-aa should be taken.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION
SPLITS IRVINGTON BOARD

DIR. Ida NJ. Bruce, who resigned
from the Irvington Board of Eduea
ton last week, was last night ap
pointed by her former colleagues to
the position of medical inspector in
the public schools at a salary of 5000
per year. Dr. A. c. Wilkes is also
medical inspector at the same sal
airy.
School Commissioner Edward R.
Folsom recommended the appoint
ment and suggested that DIR. Bruce
confine her duties to the female pu-
pills and DR. Wilkes to the male schol-
ars. This suggestion was opposed by
DIR. Albion C. Christian on the ground
that it would cause both physicians
to go to the same schools whereas
the schools in his opinion should be
divided between the two inspectors.
He contended that there Is no 1egiti-
mate reason for recognizing sex in
the examinations which the physi-
clans are called upon to make.
Miss Bernettie P. Colt was emphatic
on the point of dividing the sexes
and more especially in the high school
and the higher grammar grades. She
stated that DR.. Bruce would prefer
such a division.
Rev. Uriah McClinchie, who is the
successor to DR.. Bruce on the board
| conceded with the views of Miss
Colt. The matter was finally left In
| the hands of the sanitary committee
| of which Mr.. McClinchie becomes
chairman by virtue of his succession
! to the office of DIR. Bruce.
