Catoctin clarion., 1918-12-12

For some time past there has been much
speculation as to the whereabouts OF
Lieut.. Edgar j. Eyler. Word came that
he was found wounded on the battlefield
and taken to hospital. He then appar-
emily dropped out of sight, no one being
able to get clue as to where he had
been sent for treatment.
On Monday Dec. End, his wife who
resides at l727 Hollins St., Baltimore,
received notice that her husband was
dead. This information was sent to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A. Eyler at
this place but was not given out until
Saturday evening.
Lieut.. Eyler at the time of his enlist
ment, was student at the Gettysburg
Theological Seminary. He was sent to
an officers training camp at Fort Niagara
New York and received the rank as Lieu
tenant.
He was born in Thurmont. his parents
being the late Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Eyler. He was popular with the young
er set about town and also very attentive
to the work of the church.
During the past week report was
circulated here that Edgar had been seen
in Walter Reed Hospital in Washington.
Friends at once got in touch with this
institution, but officials told them that
no such person was patient there. The
report was traced hack to the person it
was understood gave it out and they knew
nothing of having seen or heard of Lieut..
Eyler being at the hospital.
The following item was published in
Baltimore Star Monday evening of this
week in connection with the casualty list:
Lieutenant Eyler was reported killed
in action October l, according to a noti-
fication by his family last Monday from
the War Department. He was mem.
ber of the 3l5th, Infantry. being one OF
the officers of Company E. Aletter from
an intimate friend of his, however, dated
Oct. and received Nov. l, stated that
he had been wounded on Sept. 20 anc
was in field hospital"

THOR a long time doctors noticed
that tons.litis was frequently
followed by rheumatism. The
thing happened so often that the
association was seen TO be some
thing more than accidental.
The significance of this fact was
not fully realized until a physician
named Brebe. o: Jena. showed the
exact connection. He discovered
that tho same germs that are usu-
ally present In the tonsils. even
when not actually iuramed. are the
same germs that are found in the
Joints and blood OF persons suffer
ing from rheumatism.
One germ IA particular seems re-
sponsible fer most rheumatic az
feCtions. and is also a resident n
tho ;onsTls under both normal and
abnormal conditions. This organ
ism bears the fascinating name OF
Mscrococcus rheImatIcus
