AGES WHEN DIPHTHERIA
MOST PREVAILS.

This-is an important process. scarcely
less so than the original anti-toxin dis
coFery which has cut down the number
OF diphtheria deaths from one out Of
three cases to one out Of five when anti
toxin is promptly used.
From tests so far made, the doctors
conclude that a large proportion Of
babies are immune from diphtberia. When
the third or fourth year IS reached, the
percentage OF immunity has dropped to
It's lowest point. Children OF that age
are especially susceptible. In older chill
dren the number OF immune increases,
and the majority Of adults are not sus-
eeptible to diphtheria.
II will still require some time to pop
ularize precaution against diphtheria,
just as 1t too ktO make vaccination ahac-
eepted bit Of routine. Two hundred
years ago almost everybody had small
pox some time during his life Then
vaccine was discovered, people were con-
WINGED Of its value and now n case or
two Of smallpox in a town is rare ca
lamity. The same thing should be true
OF diphtheria when the Schick test and
protective injections become part Of the
health regulations Of every community.
So much depends on the quality and
content OF esch>dose Of q serum or other
biological product that the Government
maintains a strict supervision over the
production Of those in constant use. In
the case Of some products-the pneu-
monia and meningitis serums and sal
varsan, which is a remedy for syphilis
q manufacturer must send samples out
Of every lot made to the public health
service at Washington. Here they are
tnslyzed and tried out on animals II
the animals die, or If the sample does
not contain the exact proportion Of in
gradients as stated. It Is sent back to
the firm and the lot must be destroyed
AS this means a serious loss to a firm
these products are made with great care
Comparatively little is rejected-about
8 Per cent Of sa1varsau, for example. is
per cent OF pneumonia serum and almost
none Of anti-toXin.

cal products inspected by the Govern
ment are not examined so regularly as

4 PROFESSOR Of
CHEMISTRY SAYS
HYPO-COD IS D. k.
Best Reconstructive Tonic Ever
Produced, Says This
Authority.

'T have been il the medical profes
sion for quite a number Of years as
Pharmacist and Professor of Chem
istry Tennessee Medical College, and
the truly wonderful results obtained
by so many people through the use of
Earle's Hypo-Cod caused me to decide
to make an exhaustive research and
l find it is one of the most extremely
well balanced combinations of tonic,
Alternative and nutritive principles ever
produced.
''It can be used with impunity
without the least digestive disturb
ance owing to the complete elimina-
ton of the fishy taste Of Cod Liver
oil. while still retaining all the ex-
tractive elements so useful as a tonic
and tissue builder.
'The extract of Malt, containing
carbohydrates and heterogeneous mat
ter. cannot be surpassed as a nutrient
and fat producing agent; Wild Cherry
Bark. as everyone knows. has an ex-
tremely beneficial effect upon the mu-
cous membranes, and with the small
amount of strychnine present, acts as
q stomach stimulating element.
'''The Hypophosphites of Lime, Soda,
Potassium, Manganese, Quinine and
Strychnine are too we'll known for the
powerful influence they exert upon the
wasted nerve tissues and upon the
lungs for me to dwell upon their eff
cheney. The iron so necessary to en-
rich the blood is also present in sol.
uble form readily assimilated and the
Sherry wine not only acts as base to
hold it in solution, but acts as mild
stimulant and appetizer.
81 consider Earle's Hypo-Cod most
valuable preparation, and can readily
understand why so many people are
obtaining beneficial results from its
use. It is a most meritorious prepara.
tion." Signed-E. E. Early, Phi. G.

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
and The FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infu-
enza can be depended upon for full ef-
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less colonel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style Gallo
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
Of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
mopia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed

est interference with your eating, pleas
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded if you do not find them

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States SO that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DR.. Pierce manu-
factured this Discovery" from
roots and barks-a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living

Over twenty four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
