PORTER SEEKS A WAY
The Commissioner Has Not Given Cd

Although Commissioner W. L. Por-

city does not have a full-time health
officer. Since tire suspension of Dr.
Il B. Wood and the temporary ap-
continent of DR.. H A. Alexander as

been taking care of :tl kinds of cases

Commissioner Porter today. And
that's the only WV 1t can be done. No

Commissioner Porter has given up
he fight for q health officer only "ap-

is going to get both a health officer
and a city physician with the funds he
now has but he continues to evolve
one plan after another. DIR. Wood,
who was suspended because of the
lack of q license to practice medicine
in Kansas. devoted all of his time to
the health department. He did not
treat cases And II was becau use of that
tact and the further fact that he was
drawing $500 year as city physician
that the rest of the city commission
raised objection.
DR. H. \. Alexander is following the
jnly plan that can be followed under
the present city ordinance and with
the present appropriations. BY put

able TO do the work OF a city physician

physicians cannot even begin the treat

Der that headache is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give remedy intended to
counterfeit the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give q remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, anti-kamnia tablets will be found
most convenient and satisfactory rem edy.
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
OF headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headache of women"
When we have patient subject to regular
attacks OF sick headache, We should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than "Actoids" and when
he feels the least sign of an oncoming at
tack, he should take two AK Tablets. such
patients should always be instructed TO
