as a "sure cure"
Pernicious anemia is a disease not often rec
ognized until an advanced stage has been
reached. In pernicious anemia the sufferer is
conscious of being below par. Of having diff
Guilty in doing the daily work, and of being
extremely irritable. Despite these warnings he
may be unwilling to see a doctor.
Pernicious anemia is found as an accompani-
ment of certain other diseases. 1t is really an
affection of the red blood cells and the marrow
Of the long bones. 1t is brought on as the sequel
to some toxic condition.
The symptoms of this trouble are somewhat
indefinite. Until the disease has reached an adj
vanced stage they are barely noticed. Then
appear in rapid succession loss of weight, palpi-
tation of the heart, marked shortness of breath,

GREAT MASS MEETING Is
PLANNED IN WINDY CITY
Chicago to Turn Out En- Mass to
Welcome Smith When He
Visits City.

Chicago, July 1S.-lP>-George f.
Brennan. national democratic COM
mitteeman for Illinois, today re-
Nealed plans for what he termed one
of the greatest political mass meet
ings ever held when Governor Al
Smith Of New York; democratic
presidential nominee, comes to Chi
cago.
At a conference with Gov. Smith
last week Brennan Said the candi-
date agreed to make an address
here. The committeeman said he
would reserve the stadium at Soldier
Field for the event as there was not
hall in the city large enough to
accommodate all the voters who
would want to hear Gov. Smith.
About 100000 persons attended
the Tunney-Dempsey fight at the
stadium last fall and with the aid Of
amplifiers Brennan said he thought
about 100000 persons could be
seated.
Gov Smiths address also will be
broadcast from local radio stations
and possibly over one of the chain
broadcasting systems, Brennan said.
United States Senator Heflin of
Alabama, here to address the ma
tional convention of the ku Klux
Khan, declined to say whether he
would support the democratic pres
idential candidate.
Il think Smith and Robinson will
be defeated by a larger vote than
Coolidge won over Davis" the Ala
bama senator said.
