More than 5,000 cases of measles were reported in Indiana during the month of Fijiruary, according to the state board of health. There were 32 deaths from the disease during January. The statement contains the following: “The usual idea of measles is that it is a harmless affliction which a child must have. These ‘little’ diseases are capable of inflicting serious and permanent damage upon the great vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys and brain. About 260 childrt :t die each year in Indiana from measles alOnd. We must realize that measles is preventable, that it is not harmless and that it is more dangerous to children than grown-ups."

The United Doctors are experts in the treatment of chronic diseases and so great and wonderful have been their results that in many eases it is hard to find the dividing line between skill and miracle Diseases of the stomach, intestines, liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart, spleen, rheumatism, sciatica, tapeworm, leg ulcers, weak lungs and those afflicted with long-standing, deep seated, chronic diseases, that have baffled the skill of the family physician, should not fail to call. Deafness often has been cured in sixty days. According to their system no more operation for appendicitis, gall stones, tumors, goiter, piles, etc., as all cases accepted will be treated without ©iteration or hypodermic injections, as they were among the first in America to earn the name of “Bloodless Surgeons," bv doing away with the knife with blood and with all pains in the successful treatment of these dangerous diseases. No matter what your ailment may be, no matter what others may have told you, no matter what experience you may have had with other physicians, it will be- to your advantage to see them at once. Have it forever settled in your mind. If your case is incurable they will give you such advice as may relieve and stay the disease. Do not put off this duty you owe yourself or friends or relatives who are suffering because of your sickness, as a visit at this time may help you.

Howto Regulate High Blood Pressure. Tuke San Yak. It prevents a bonoy like hardoning of the arteries at ages past 50 years. Dr. Burnham'# Sen Yak I# the sure way to prevent Paralyai# and Apoplexy. In its u»e you have prevented or cured bladder and kidney trouble. It Is the greatest in use to prevent the clumsy stiff joints and muscles and for Neuritis or Kheumstism and Constipation. It has no parallel' for quality and results. HIRAM SHOWALTER of Angola, Ind. I suffered greatly for several years with bladder weakness and 1 am willing for the public good to let any one kuow that eight bottles of San Yak cured me. I find that a dose at times keeps my muscles from getting stiiT and clumsy, and 1 surely feel fine. J. B. WARDEN of Angola. Ind. Has this to say of San Yak: 1 have been troubled several years with bad heart and stomach trouble. San Yak has squared me away and I believe it would do the same for others if they would try it. I surely feel fine. GEO. SLACK of Angola, Ind. Says this for San Yak: I have had kidney trouble and rheumatism for six years. San Yak squared me away, and I can work without fatigue or tlie all in symptoms. I surely can boost for San Yak. E. L. THOMAS of Angola, Ind. Says of San Yak: 1 was surely bad off for several years with bladder and kidney weakness. I had tried doctors and medicines so much 1 tiad no faith in anybody. 1 was ' persuaded to try San Yak and let me tell you it is the right stuff for kidney and bladder trouble. JOHN BAKER AND WIFE of Laketon, Ind. Say. We are very old people and have been badly afflicted, and in trying out the San Yak we have found it to be a fine tonic and a wonderful regualtor for the bowels and stomach. F. H. LAMB Proprietor Lamb Hotel, Antwerp, Ohio. I suffered the tortues from tuberculosis of the bowels eleven years with shattered nerves and no health. Three bottles of San Yak cured me two years ago, and you are free to use this letter for the benefit it may be to-others. DORY KING, of North Manchester, Ind. Says of San Yak: I wish I had the time to go and recommend San Yak to all who have stomach trouble. San Yak is a world beater for the stomach. We can tell you of more cures in Decatur.
