Those who are in a position to
know, say that VerWilKo has re-
ceived a greater reception than
any other medicine that was ever
introduced in Indianapolis and
this is why VerWilKo enjoys a
wonderful reputation of long
standing, having been used by it's
founder, the famous DR.. J. G.
Vermilya of Bloomington, Ind,
for the past twenty years. DR..
Vermilya's records show that rs
to 900 of the following ailments
yield readily to VerWilKo: Stom-
ach, Liver and Kidney Trouble,
Rheuma tism, Neuritis, Constipa-
ton, Nervousness, Catarrh and

FIFTY MILLION
INDIANS ONCE
IN new WORLD
Diseases Brought Across
Sea by White Men Deci-
mated Race.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 3D.
The peak of Americas native popu-
lation, before the white mans COM
ing, was reached about 1900 A. D.,
when there may have been as many
as 100000 or even 100000 In
dams in the new world. This is
the conclusion of DIR. H. j. Spinden
of Harvard university, reported in
the Geographical Review.
DR.. Spindens estimates of the
people in prehistoric America take
into account the Maya, Aztecs,
IncaS, Mound Builders, PuebloS and
other races scattered over the west
ern world. At present, the Indian
population of North and South
America amounts to $4,000, 900. About
$4,000 of these are in North Ameri-
ca, north of Mexico.
Epidemic disease brought by the
white man has been the chief fac
tor in cutting down the Indians.
Europeans unloaded upon Ameri-
can Indians a tremendous burden
of new infections for which the
latter had not the slightest i'm
munity," he states. Perhaps small
pox comes first as an introduced
plague and measles second, this
latter malady being deadly for the
red man.
But in the tropics the debilita-
ton and mortality resulting from
the introduction of malaria in three
types and hookworm in two are
heavy factors. There have been
great epidemics of several other
diseases, including Asiatic cholera.
There were few serious disease
forms in America when the Indians

HINES EXPERT IN
 HURL|NG JAVEL|N
Broke Intercollegiate Record in
 Meet Held Last Year

New York. May 5 LR9 Creth B, Hines. Georgetown university junior from Houston. Tex, broke the intercollegiate A. A. A. A. rec ord in winning the javelin throw last year and is hopeful of doing better this spring.
 In the six years the javelin has been part of the program, the rec ord has advanced from ls5 feet to 2o6 feet, ' 5-7 inches. the mark set by Hines, who believes never. theiess that this toss will appear puny beside marks that will b.. regular occurrences a few years hence.
 Hines considers John Kuck, the mighty kansan who broke the worlds shotput record a week ago at Fresno. Cal. as potentially the worlds greatest javelin thrower.
 Il saw kuck throw the juyelin 2sa feet in practice in the national championship in 1926" said Hines, but he fell below 200 feet in ac- tual competition because of con. pettng first in the shotput It is my belief that Kuck has it in his power to throw the spear 2l0 feet"
 Hines would be delighted if the were run off in his home city of Houston. Texas. The stockily built youngster says the still air and warm climate make it possible to throw the spear for prodisious distances. Hines, in a high school dual meet against Hum- ble High school in 1925. says that he threw the javelin :l7 feet, four inches.
 The first time ever had jave- lin in my hand was in 1925" said Hines. and I threw it 1SO feet In 5S cometitions since then have averaged 197 feet. 3 inches.' An idea of Hines consistency may be gathered from the fact that he won the national junior championship fin 1926 with throw of 196 feet. was second in the national senior title event at 1926. winner of the central championship at 1s7. the Rice relays at 1s9 and the Texas relays at 1sS.
 Hines says that javelin throwing
