MRS. JOINER GAINS
THIRTVFIVEPOUNDS
Engineer’s Wife Says Her
Health Was Completely
Broken Down
‘‘l have just finished my i!i : rd
bottle of Tan lac and have pah eJ
thirty-five pounds,” was the truly
remarkable statement made by
Mrs. Wilhelmina Joiner, wife of
Richard Joiner, the well-known
engineer on the M. D. & S. rail
road, residing at 115 Third street,
Macon, Ga.
“Before I began taking the
medicine my health was so broken
and I was in such a badly run
down condition, I couldn’t give
sufficient nourishment to mv
young baby in fact, I was com
pletely broken down in every way.
“I suffered from nervous indi
gestion and have been in a general
run-down condition. In fact, for
nearly two years I have suffered
from nervous prostration brought
on by this trouble.
“I tried doctors, I tried medi
cines, I tried nearly everything
you could think of trying to get
relief, but it just seemed like the
harder I tried to get well, the
worst I would get. Finally my
condition got so I couldn’t eat any
solid food of any kind without
suffering torture. It just looked
like I was on the verge of a phy si
de decline, and sometimes I al
most despaired of ever getting
well and strong again.
“That's just the condition I
was in when I began taking Tan
lac, and it wasn’t any time hard
ly after I began taking it before
I began to improve. My nerves
got better at once and I got so I
could enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Then mv appetite returned, and
it just looked like I couldn’t get
enough to eat. I could just eat
anything put on the table, and
everything seemed to taste good
and nourish me. And the baby,
why. you just ought to see it. It
is just thriving and is getting
plenty of nourishment. My com
plexion has cleared up, too, and
I have a good color now for the
first time in years. Before I be
gnn taking this Tanlac I was as
yellow as a lemon.
"My husband thinks there is
no medicine on earth like Tanlac.
and my friends are all talking
about how I have improved. I
am only to glad to tell you what
it has done for me, as it has been
nothing short of a blessing in my
case.”

U6H! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SiCK
Stop Using Dangerous
Drug Before It Salivates
You! It’s Horrible!
You’re bilious, sluggish, consti
pated and believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start your
liver and clean your bowels.
Here’s my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for aSO cent bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone and take a
spoonful tonight. If it doesn’t
start your liver and straighten
you right up better than calomel
and without griping or making
you sick I want you to go back to
the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomor
row you will feel weak and sick
and nauseated. Don’t lose a day’s
work. Take a spoonful of harm
less, vegetable Dodson’s Liver
Tone tonight and wake up feeling
great. It’s perfectly harmless,
so give it to your children any
time. It can’t salivate, so let
them eat anything afterwards, ad
Singing at Worthville

HAVE YOU BEEN SICK?
Then you realize the utter weakness

To restore that strength anctstamina that

cause its strength - sustaining nourish
ment invigorates the blood to. distribute
energy throughout the body while its tonic
value sharpens the appetite and restores
health in a natural, permanent way.
If you are run down, tired, nervous,
overworked or lack strength, get Scott’s
Emulsion to-day. It is free from alcohol.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
By Emory R. Park, Georgia State
Board of Health
Polio-myelitis is a disease principally
occuring in children of from one to five
years of age—hence the synonym,
Infantile Paralysis. The cause of the
disease is probably a microscopial germ.
The disease occurs as isolated cases or
sometimes as a widespread epidemic.
There seems to have been an increase
in the disease during the last few years.
It is estimated that from 1907 to 1910
there were at least 20,000 cases in the
United States. It is an established fact
that it is a contagious disease, the con
tagion being transmitted by direct con
tact, by a third person, by cats and
dogs, and possibly by flies and other
insects. The incubation period—that
is, the time elap.?ing between the time
of exposure and time of development
of symptoms—is probably from one to
fourteen days.
While adults may be attacked the
greatest incidence is among very young
children, so the course of the disease
will be described from that standpoiht.
SYMPTOMS
The attack usually comes on sudden
ly. A child which has been previously
well and healthy suddenly is taken
with fever, complains of headache,
aching in limbs and back, becomes
dull and somnolent or restless and de
lirious. There may also be vomiting
and diarrhoea, twitching of muscles or
convulsions. Occasionally there is
stiffness of the muscles in the neck and
limbs, and frequently there is pain and
tenderness in the back and lower ex
tremities. The duration and intensity
of these symptoms are variable, lasting
from one or two days to as long as a
w T eek or more. After the above symp
toms have subsided the parents notice
that the child is more or less extensive
ly paralyzed. The muscles of the trunk
are sometimes involved, but usually
the paralysis of the extremities is more
noticeable. Either one or both legs,
both legs and an arm, both arms, or all
the extremities may be paralyzed. The
Child is unable to move the one affect,
ed, and the part feels cold and clammy,
looks somewhat blue, and in time, un*
less recovery takes place, becomes
much smaller and shorter than the ex
tremities not involved. The reflexes in
the diseased limbs are lost but sensibil
ity is retained. After a time, unless
the disease has proved fatal during the
acute stage, the child’s general condi
tion improves and sometimes the pa
ralysis entirely disappears, and the
child is again restored to perfect health. 1
Unfortunately however, not infrequent- J
ly the paralysis persists to the same de
gree as in the beginning, or only par
tially clears up. Various deformities
may take place as a result of the con- 1
traction of the healthy muscles. Ini
this way curvature of the spine, club
feet and the like are brought about.
The above symptom* apd changes
occur as a result of the poisons thrown
off' by the germs causing the disease
first attacking the entire body aud la
ter becoming localized in part of th$ 1
gray matter of the spinal cord. The'
extent of the paralysis which results
depends on the destruction of this
RAILROAD
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry?
To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus
trial warfare?
The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service—
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service—your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five percent of the
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) as shown by the payrolls—
Engineers.
Conductors
Firemen .
Brakemen.
The average yearly wage payments to all Southern train em
ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as
shown by the 1915 payrolls were —
, Pauenger Freight Yard
Engineers. . ... . $2144 $1712 $1313
Conductors 1723 1488 1157
Firemen . • • • • • 1096 865 688
Brakemea 1013 845 868
A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri
bunal speaking for you.
l he railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. -This offer has been refused by the
employes’ representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov
ernment determine this issue?

PREVENTION
As the disease is contagious, its
spread is to be guarded against in same
manner as in the case of other contag
ious diseases, such as scarlet fevej,
measles, dipthera, ana so on. The pa
tient should be promply isolated, and
physician put in charge of the case as
early as possible. No more people
than absolutely necessary should be
exposed, and children should be espec
ially excluded from the room.
Sputum and mucous from the nose
and throat should be caught on rags or
