Modern Science Finds a New Method
How Nerve Insulation Stops Inflammation Eczema
and All Skin Diseases Yield
New Discovery.

The nerves of your body are like
electric wires. They carry the nerve
energy (neuro-electricity) which is
generated in the brain. to all the
cells and tissues. The nerve sheaths
are insulated to resist a current of
about $4,000 of a volt as has been
proven with the aid of Lord Kelvin's
galvanometer, an instrument so SEN
sitive and accurate that for the first
time it is now possible to measure
the stregth of nerve currents.
1t has been found that wherever
acute Inflammation occurs the in
sulation of the nerves is broken
down. making it difficult, and often
impossible, for nature to heal the
surrounding cells. Germs cannot
live in healthy tissue; it is only
through damaged cells that they
thrive and spread. Obviously there

THIEVES RAIDING

Inadequate Police Protection
Responsible; Five Vacan-
cies on Force

Thieves during the last few nights
have been making a systematic raid
OF a number of houses in North Sec
ond street, and 1t is believed are TAX
ing advantage of inadequate police
protection in that vicinity.
So far the following houses have
been entered and numerous articles
taken:
Samuel Miller. 1909 North Second
street, small mesh bag taken.
William c. Morton, 2214 North Sec

W. C. Metzger, 2232 North Second

street, entry forced to pantry but
nothing taken.
John c. Herman. 224S North Sec
ond street, entry forced but nothing
removed.
E. S. Herman, 2O25 North Front
street. This residence was entered
about o'clock in the morning, but
Mrs. Herman frightened the burglars
and so far nothing has been reported
missing.
At the Miller home the robbers
entered the pantry, filling a basket
with food, but were frightened away
and abandoned the produce. At the
Morton residence the burglars also re-
mained on the first floor taking small
change and mileage book. a few
doors farther north in the street the
Metzger home was entered and a
valuable victrola and several records
stolen. Next door the burglars were
unable TO force one of the doors and
at the Herman residence were fright
ened away before they had an op-
portunity to remove anything.
II is believed that other houses in
the vicinity were visited but no other
robberies were reported. The work is
that of amateurs as no tools are used.
and the burglars remained on the first
floor to work. Some of the robberies
have been reported to the police.
Police officials said to-day that there
is inadequate police protection in this
section of the city between 4:S0
O'Clock and S o'clock in the morning
Five vacancies exist in the city
police force at present-one is dead
enc has resigned and three are with

Only one officer is on duty for three
hours and a half in this section of the
city, and at least thirty more men
are needed according to police off,
cials.

treat inflammatory disease is to
quickly repair the damaged insula-
tion and enable nature to restore the
diseased tissue to a healthy condi-
ton. Ion-o-lex Unguent does this.
Ion-o-lex Unguent is not a drug.
1t does not contain opiates or mar
cotics. Its action is entirely me-
chanical. Applied externally, it
penetrates the tissues and surrounds
the injured nerve sheaths with an
insulating bath. Then the inflam-
nation subsidies and nature quickly
repairs the nerve lesion-you are
well. Don't suffer another minute,
just go to Fl. c. Kennedy and get a
large jar of Ion-o-lex Unguent. 1t
costs little, use as directed and If
you cannot say that it is the greatest
means ever devised for conquering
inflammation wherever it exists, your
money Will be cheerfully returned
without a question.

The motion picture industry did not
know what immoral pictures were
until political censorship was estab-

was shown in Philadelphia, but when
that picture was sent to New York
the motion picture exhibitors prohi-
bited it being shown, and yet in New
York they have no censorship"
