HEALTH BODY HEAD RELIES UPON COUNTY Schloss Confident Council Will Furnisfo Psychopathic Ward Money. Confidence that the county council will see its duty and take care of the psychopathic ward at the city hospital by making an emergency appropriation wa expressed today by Sol Schloss, city board of health president. No appropriation, except for oare of patients coming from the county outside the city, was made at the regular fall council meeting. The ward was opened this year under an agreement by which the county should pay maintenance expense, and the city furnish the place and 'the attendants. It is used for observation of persons suspected of insanity, who had to be held in the county jail under the old system. "I urn sure the county councilmen will take care of this situation,” said Schloss. “The city can't do it, because the county is charged by law with caring for the insane until they are placed in a State asylum." County officials said the city had refused to admit any patients except Indianapolis residents. Schloss said he issued no such order and nobody else issued such an order. Dr. Cleon Nafe, superintendent of the city hospital, said that records will show patients from all parts of the county have been admitted as freely as from the city. The county appropriated $20,000 in 1924 for use this year in connection with the ward.

“I was so weak and nervous I could hardly do my housework as I could not stand because of the bearing-down pains in my back and stomach. I sat down most of the time and did what I could do in that way—as washing dishes, etc. One day a book describing Lydia E. Pinkham’s medicines was put in my mail-box. I saw how the Vegetable Compound had helped others, so I gave it a trial. I had to take about a dozen bottles before I gained my strength, but I certainly praise this medicine. Then I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Medicine, for poor blood. 1 was cold all the time. I would be so cold I could hardly sit still, and in the palms of my hands there would be drops of sweat. I also used the Sanative Wash and can recommend it. You may publish this letter and I will gladly answer letters from women and advise my neighbors about these medicines.”— Mrs. Harry Ashcroft, 632 Beech avenue, Covington, Kentucky.
