which you clean up an accident
after it has happened.
Another Of the great fights we're
fighting is to have a complete
medical record of every human be-
ing with his doctor. The doctor
ushers you into the world. He is
with you when you go out of it. You
call him in many times between
death and birth.
eff every doctor has a record of
every patient, it wouldn't be long
before we had a mass of data from
which conclusion could be drawn
that would be of inestimable benefit
to humanity.
THAT, in a general way, is what
we are trying to do-increase written
records, prevent disease, uncover
laws that will keep millions healthy
as well as cure the thousands who
come to us sick"

And in every way possible we doc

the sanity and wisdom of looking
ahead about their health.
eff a man has weak heart, he
ought to learn from his doctor the
limits of his strength and keep
within those limits. If a mans

about his smoking, and watch out

AID LONGEVITY,
DOCTOR URGES
Says Each Person Should
Aid in Prevention, Not
in Cures.

NEW ORLEANS, March 23-How
can the average man best take adj
vantage Of the recent advance in
medical science and prolong his life
as doctors have said he can pro-
long it?
DR.. Frank SnithieS, retiring
president of the American College
Of Physicians, which convened here,
gives the answer.
''See your doctor about as often
as you see your dentist" he says.
Remember, it is far better to
prevent disease than it is to cure it
after it has a foothold. A business
man who called in an auditor after
he had gone into bankruptcy would
be called fool, wouldn't he? Well,
what do you think of the same bust
ness man who waits until he is in
physical bankruptcy before he calls
in a doctor? Yet that is what many
of them do.
Certainly, after a man is 45 years
old, he ought to &C to a doctor at
least once a year for a thorough
overhauling. In many cases he can
add years to his life by doing that.

ton SITS, this city, where over 200
people are calling daily. Many of
the men and women are offering
signed statements and photographs,
describing the work of Konjola in
actual cases.
An amazing statement was re-
ceiYed just the other day from Mr..
w. w. Richardson, well-known In
dianapolis citizen, living at 635 Eddy
ST, telling of the relief he received
through the use of Konjola.
II know what Konjola will do, be-
cause it helped me when I had been
bedfast for five and half months"
said Mr.. Richardson. 81 really would
not take a thousand dollars for the
wonderful health I now enjoy.
I'm the first place, was hurt by
falling plaster, and was told that
my internal organs were injured. 1t
seemed to me that my entire body
was torn loose. I suffered agonieS
from aches and pains throughout
my system. Sometimes the pains
were SO unbearable I did not care
what happened to me. Finally, all
this suffering settled in my lower
right limb and it felt as if I were
paralyZed. I was in bed five
months when I was told an opera
ton was the only thing that would
help me. At the hospital I de-
cided not to undergo the knife and
signed my own release. An opera
ton seemed to be the only thing
that would help me, but I was
hoping against hope that another
way for relief would turn up.
IT had been home just few
days when some one brought bot
tie of Konjola to the house and
asked me to try it. I knew that it
would Go me no harm to take this
medicine, and so I started on the
treatment. Before finished the
second bottle I was able to get out
of bed. could almost feel the heal
ing effect Of this medicine every
time took dose. There seemed
to be new life in my body, and be-
fore the third bottle was empty I
was out of the house. My internal
organs were functioning properly
and all the soreness was gone. To-
day can truthfully say that
hardly realize I ever went through
such awful torture. Hundreds of
people came to see me while I was
still in bed, suffering and unable to
move. Every one of those persons
will verify what I have said about
the relief Konjola gave me.
GAS I said before, ] would not
take thousand dollars for what
Konjola has done for me. I am
making this statement hoping that
I might be able to help others who
are suffering. Words can never ex-
press my appreciation for the Won
derful new health I have received.
I only hope that this statement will
be the means for others to find the
road to new and glorious health"

Study OF Separate AppraIs-

Supreme Court today granted motion
of Attorney William G. Johnson repre-
ssnting owners of property within the
Patterson tract, portion of which Is
being condemned by the Government,
and set aside panel of prospective
commissioners summoned by the jury
commission.
Counsel contended that since the act
of June 6, 1924, creating the National
Park and Planning Commission for the
acquisition of land for the park and
playground system had provided that II
condemnation were necessary the pro-
ceedingS should be in accordance with
the Printing Office act of August 80,

ers" to assess the value of the land
to be taken and should not be limited
in its selection by panel drawn by the
jury commission from special box of
jurors for condemnation cases provided
by the act of April ID, 1899 amending
the District code.
DismiSSeS Panel.
In adopting this view of the law
Justice Bailey vacated the former order
of the court and dismissed the men
who had been summoned by the jury
commission. He continued further
hearing in the case until Monday, Sep
TENDER "a, when commission of three
persons will be named.
This proceeding is a return to the
older method of selection of commits

of 1890, and, according to Assistant
