Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce, of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample Of urine for test.

The first symptoms are like a Sc
we're cold, with high fever and red
eyes, and later a blotchy rash The
eruption is preceded for about four
days by catarrhal symptoms, and after
it is fully out the fever falls rapidly.
The rash usually begins on the face
as slightly raised red spots which
form crescent shaped groups, coales-
cling into patches of irregular outline.
Measles is infectious IN it's earliest
stages before the rash has appeared.
The disease is spread chiefly from
the sick person to the well, some
times through milk. Tae cause is a
germ which escapes from the mouth
or nose. Measles may be caught mere
ly by entering the patients room, by
shaking hands with one who has it,
from the patients towel, cup or spoon
or from the attendant. Persons hav-
ing measles seldom take it again.
Strict quarantine is needed in fact
it is now a requirement having the
force of law in Wisconsin. Children
should not return to school for at least
two weeks after recovery.

Measles Epidemic Reported.

Measles, which takes more lives
than smallpox, is reported from many
sections of the state in this period OF
it's greatest frequency. This very
serious infectious disease is capable
of severe after effects. Adults as well
as children may take it merely by go
ing near a diphtheria patient.
The least available census figures
(for 1879 show that Wisconsin had
the third lowest death rate in the reg
istration areas from measles, Colo
RADIO and California ranking ahead OF
the Badger state. The Wisconsin
mortality was rs per 100000 popula
ton. Utah was highest with rate OF
31.6. In the United States in 1913
the mortality from measles was over
25 per cent higher than that from
whooping cough, and it caused 20 per
cent as many deaths as were charged
to diphtheria.
