See how its head is turned backward and how its tail is broadened into an umbrella-like organ. jn 'iv j u iy Z i I II August JJrd, 10th and 18th Opera House. Nearly one half of the people have this disease. You are probably with that half. Come and see, any way. Both the coun ty of Halifax and the state of North Carolina have ap propriated the necessary i u n d s tif OVfllPTlt. 1 tl America. Before this it was thought tha t that large for the carrying on of this work. Now, it is up to you to number of weak, pale and delicate people were so because take advantage ot tins opportunity r.f inherited nhvsical delects and could not be cured Punishing Tbe Farmers. The name of the proposed trade agreement with Canada, called by its advocates, "A Reciprocity Treaty," should be changed to "An Agreement to Punish American Farmers for Voting the Democratic Ticket." For years the strength of the Democratic party in the North and central West has been in the cities where the cost of living is said to be high, while the Republican vote has been in the country. The Dem ocrats have been carrying such large cities as New York, Chicago, Cleve land, Baltimore and Boston, while the Republicans carriedthe rural districts in the States in which those cities are situated. In the elections last fall the farm ers in large numbers who had here tofore voted the Republican ticket, cither remained at home on election Jay or voted the Democratic ticket. We have not the room to print a dis cussion of the cause which led , the farmers 1o give the Democrats con trol of the lower house of Congress and almost control of the Senate. The Democratic party has always stood for equal rights for all and special privileges to none, yet in Congress we find a number of Dem ocrats who are advocating this Re- - publican measure to punish the farm ers for voting the Democratic ticket last fall. A large majority of the ' farmers of the South have been vot ing the Democratic ticket ever since reconstruction days, but if they are to be punished along with the North ern and Western farmers there is no telling what they may do in tl e future. This paper is published on a farm, and is owned, edited and published by a farmer, and it claims the farm er has not received too much for the products of the farm. The city pa pers tell us that the adoption of the trade agreement will not cause the farmer to receive less for what he has to sell, and in the same breath advocate the ratification of the treaty in order to lower the price of farm products and reduce the cost of liv ing. Rich Square Times. Now, however, this has been proven not to be the case, that most of these people are so owing to the Hookworm in lection and can not only be cured but restored to health in a remarkably short time. all classes, old and PREVALENCE. About one-third of the people, young, have this disease. DISTRIBUTION. Found chiefly in warm climates where the heat, sunlight and oxygen produces the most ideal condition to hatch the eggs of the worms as they are deposited in the soil by those suffering from the disease. Cold kills them. MODE OF ENTRANCE INTO THE BODY. About 90 per cent of the cases begin as ground-itch, dew-itch or toe-itch as it is variously called. The worm burrows through the skin on the foot, and in doing so sets up an inflammation on the foot that gives rise to this con dition. Alter penetrating the skin on the foot they get into the blood stream and are carried around to theupper part ot the intestines, iust below the stomach, which is their feeding grounds. Here they attach themselves to the linino- of the intestines, like in Illustration No. 3, and begin to suck the life blood of the individual away. - About 10 per cent, of the cases get into the blood through contaminated drinking water, or by eating let- tuce, strawberries or water cress that has been improperly wash ed. SYMPTOMS. The majority of those who have had the infection but a short while have hard ly no noticeable symp toms. They constant ly feel tired ; get up in the morning about sb tired as on retiring the night before; get out of breath easily, and of ten suffer from stom ach troubles.

Dear Doctor : Understanding that you are collecting a few testimonials concerning the results effected by curing hookworm disease, if my personal experience with the dis ease will be worth anything, 1 shall be glad for you to use it in the humanitarian cause. As a youth I was pale, a nemic, and, generally speaking, was in poor health, never able to accomplish much work. As time went on, perhaps on account of my weakened con dition, I became ruptured, and went to a hospital for an operation. My blood was so weak that I could not stand the operation." An examination was made which showed that I was suffering with a severe case of hookworm dis ease. I was treated then and at once I began to improve. In the space of two weeks I was so much improved that 1 was able to. take the operation. I then began to develop, and within two years gained sixty-five pounds. I have since graduated at the University of North Carolina, play ed football on the 1908 class team, represented Carolina in an intercollegiate debate, and am now strong and healthy andweigh 165 pounds. A cure will transform a man. I therefore urge our weak-blooded men, women and children to be examined and treated. Patric M. "Williams. Burgaw, N. C, September 20, 1910. VICTIM OF HOOKWORM DISEASE DESCRIBES HIS FEELINGS. "I feel tired all the time almost, and get tired very easi ly, and have little or no energy. My spirits are low almost all the time. I feel fall after eating. My memory is poor. lfeel that I am getting weak er. I have a disgust for fat ty .foods. I prefer being alone rather than to be in the company of others. I have no desire even to con verse tete-a-tete with the la dies. After taking a walk I feel broken down and tired all over, feel more like lying down than anything else. It tires me very much to stand any length of time In the morning when getting up I feel tired and broken down also. Under these condi- Tins shows the headrtrf-tt hookworm as the paratite ia feedingV-attached to the wall of the bowels. : Keep Watch on Both. "Doe3 prohibition prohibit? I re fer to the law prohibiting burglary. It seems impossible to stop burglars. Shall we license them so as to 'at least get some revenue out of what we can't prevent'?' A correspond ent has this to say in the Wilming ton Star. The communication is short, but full of sound logic. The law against selling liquor and the law against burglary are both vio lated. There is no man living that would say repeal the law against burglary, and yet there is as much sense in repealing that a3 in repeal ing the law that says no whiskey can be sold within the State. And it is just as much an officer's business to run down blind tigers as it is to run down burglars. Rowland Sun. Happiest Girl in Lincoln. A Lincoln, Neb., girl writes, "I had been ailing for some time with chronic constipation and stomach trouble. I began taking Chamber berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and in three days I was able to be up and got better right along.' I am the proudest girl in Lincoln to find such a good medicine " For sale by all dealers. Even a homely girl doesn't want to be described in plain language. Operation Thought Sure. Ferris. Tex.

"I had been given up to die by three of our best doctors, I could not stand it to be on my feet and I was so swelled in the abdomen I could hardly breathe. But thanks to Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and Nervine I am able to be about the streets, a walking ad vertisement of the curative qual ities of your remedies, although I am 70 years old." John R. Cochran, Lew is town, III. Better than any statement we could make regarding the value of Dr. Mile' Heart Remedy are these words of Mr. Cochran. He speaks from experience, the highest possible source of knowl edge. If you have any of the signs of a weak heart, such as pain in the left shoulder or arm, fainting and hungry spells, short ness of breath, smothering spells, fluttering or palpitation of the heart, you need Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy which for over twenty years has been recognized as the best prepa ration of its kind to be had.
