many victims. 1t is sincerely hoped

Reports have been received by a
prominent Louisville Physician show
ing that very large number of men
and women in Kentucky have beer
suffering from the epidemic OF hic-
coughing. He said that he had heard
of no deaths and that the trouble is
being handled by family physicians.
He is physician of wide expert
ence and he asserted that he hal
never heard of anything like the cpl
demic before.
"a very large number of men and
women are suffering" he said, from
hiccoughing and neuritis. Both ar
probably due to the lowered state o.
vitality, especially the nervous vital
ity, due to their having suffered frs
in the influenza epidemic.

spraying properly applied will take
the pace of three ordinary sprayings.
For three weeks before it is appar

One spraying properly applied dur
