Words Of Warning from Pre,en-

According TO Dr. NJ. +. Eavenal. of

against with the utmost care and pre-
caution.

leaves injury which lasts for life in
the shape of more or less extensive
paralysis in various parts Of the body.
The onset Of the disease may he very
mild. and the seriousness Of the
trouble not recognized until after two
or three days when paralysis begins
in one or more limbs. In some cases
paralysis Is the first thing to be noted.
There may he inflammation Of the
tonsils OF disturbances of the CASTRO

In some there is n mild form Of men

disease. The disease u passed by cN.

in the mucous membranes of the nose
and throa, and also in the bowel. II
IL most prc,alcn, in the warm dry

In prevention, the point Of most

CAME TRUE.

It IS regretable that the Democracy
of the ten district which, we may say
to its credit. gave President Wilson
around 1000 majority, is involved in a
bitter controversy over the election
Of it's nominee for congress. 1t could
and shouId-have given Mr.. Weaver a
decisive majority-one figured by the
hundreds, instead Of only a few, and
thus prevented any doubt about the
result. The voters were given fair
warning that President Wilson, dur-
ing his second term would need Mr..
Weaver in the House and this pro-
pheCy has come true. Even more than
Zeb Weaver's vote may be needed to
enable the Democrats to organize the
House, which shows the Importance of
party loyalty in important elections.
