Without An
Operation
Wonderful Healing of Rapture
How a New Jersey Man Got Rid
of a Severe, Obstinate, Right
Inguinal Hernia Without the
Slightest Trouble.
Below is a picture of Eugene M.
Pullen, a well-known carpenter of
Manasquan. New Jersey. If you could
see him at his work, particularly
when he handles heavy timber, jumps
and climbs around like a youth, you
would scarcely imagine that he had
formerly been afllicted with a rup
ture.
Uik_.
Ruptured in Right Side.
At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled rail
road baggage. One day after deliver
ing a heavy trunk on an upper floor
he felt a pain in the right groin. The
suffering increased and it was not
long before the young man noticed
the swelling.
The doctor told younsr Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
cither wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All
siirgeons know that hernia operations,
with anaesthetics, etc., are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, it
is a well established fact that many
rupture operations are not successful;
the bowel soon breaks through the
sewed-up opening and protrudes
worse than ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like most others, Mr. Pullen de
clined to take the risks of an opera
tion; the expense and loss of time had
to be considered, too. Hoping he
might get a little better encourage
ment, he went to another physician
who, to his sorrow, gave him even less
hope. It was pointed out to the young
man that unless the rupture were per
fectly held all the time or the sur
geon's knife successfully used, he
might expect an increase or doubling
in the rupture with further compli
cations, or the dreaded strangulated
hernia which kills so many ruptured
people.
Victim of Trusses.
The victim bought a truss, a hard,
spring-like affair, the best he could
get. It tortured him. He tried an
other—still no relief. He was com
pelled to give up his express business.
The hard tasks of ordinary men were
forbidden him. He became an insur
ance agent, in which position he did
not need to do bodily work.
For six years Mr. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
clastic, etc., with never any content
ment. One day his mother told him
something she had just found out. It
was a simple and easy thing for hint
to do. He lost no time.
Discarded His Truss.
Relief came at once; ho almost for
got that he had any rupture. After
ward came a cure—a complete heal
ing—and. although years have passed
and Mr. Pullen is an energetic car
penter, working on buildings, climbing
over roofs .lilting lumber and such
like, he is absolutely free from the old
hernia. He knows he is completely,
lastingly cured. There was no opera
tion, no lost time, no trouble—com
fort and contentment from the very
outset. He is a strong, cheerful
minded man.
Valuable Information Free.
The valuable information which
Mrs. Pullen read in a newspaper
many years ago and gave to her son.
t 'jether with further important facts,
will be sent free to any reader of this
who writes to Eugene 51. Pullen, 907 C
Marcellus avenue, llanasquan, N. J„
enclosing a stamp for reply. Men
tion the kind of rupture you have,
whether on right or left side and
what you have already done in your
effort to cure it. A legion of cases of
all kinds of rupture in men and wo
men, including inguinal (groin), fe
moral, navel, scrotal, etc.. have been
reported completely healed. Age seems
to make no difference. Advertise- j

Clears Complexion
Don't worry about blotches or other
(kin troubles. You can have a clear,
.•lean complexion by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 25c, or
:xtra large bottle at SI.OO.
Zctno easily removes all traces of
pimples, black heads, blotches, eczema,
and ringworm and makes the skin clear
and healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrat
ing, antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It i easily
applied and costs a mere trifle for each
application. It is always dependable.

HARRISBtTRG aSjSSfc TELEGRAPH
Baker Is Believed to
Have Resigned From
Federal Shipping Board
, ! Washington, I). Jan. i". Ber
[' nard N. Baker, of ISaltiinore, refused to
day either to contlrm or deny reports
that he had resigned ns a member of
■ the Federal Shipping Hoard. There was
: a wide belief in official circles, how
ever, that the report was true. No light
' was thrown on the situation at the
• White House.
Reports of Mr. Baker's resignation
i have said it was due to differences over
' organization of the board. Members
, have been arriving this week since
their confirmation and the first meeting;
I wa.-i to have been held next week. At ]
, that time, it is' understood, a chairman
would be selected.
Although no officials would confirm !
i the report of the resignation to-day, ]
many privately expressed the opinion I
that it was true. Mr. Baker was to i
have gone to Pittsburgh yesterday to I
speak before the National Foreign '■
Trade Council, but at the last moment :
declined.
Mr. Baker helped frame the shipping
act and was one of its most ardent i
champions before committees of Con- i
press. He was named for a term -of !
five years. It has been said that Wll- I
llam D. Denman, of San Francisco,
I named for the six-year term, would be
I made chairman of the board.
Economic Preparedness
For National Crisis
Discussed by League
Washington. D. C.. Jan. 27. Vari
ous kinds of economic preparedness for
a national crisis were discussed to-day
before the congress of constructive pa
triotism of the National Security Ueague.
A platform was prepared on which the
league will wage a campaign for edu
cation to arouse national spirit, as well
as for universal training and other !
military and naval activity.
Kepresentati ve Gardner, of Massa
chusetts, protested against entrance of
the United States into an international j
agreement to enforce peace, on the i
ground that it would Involve the coun- I
try in Europe or Asiatic wars In
which It liad no interest.
"How would we have fared through- ;
out this nation's history if, instead of
lighting our battles we had been asked
to depend upon arbitration?" he asked.
"We would be a colony of England to
day: Texas would still belong to
Mexico: slavery, unless arbitrated by
Great Britain's order, might have lasted
down to the present time, and Cuba
would even now be struggling under the
domination of Spain."
Wheat Yield of McCormick
Farms Exceeds That of Nation
The average yield of wheat per acre i
last year was 2 2 bushels, according to
reports received from eleven farms at I
a meeting of the McCormick Farmers'
Club of Cumberland County at the |
home of George Nauss yesterday. I
This figure exceeds the average yield j
in the state by 3 bushels and also the]
average yield in the United States by
j X bushels. Reports were made by the ,
! farmers that the condition of the crops 1
which are in the ground is good and
not at all hurt by the low temper
ature. The next mating will be held
In the Carlisle courthouse February 17.

Regard to Literacy
Queretaro, Jan. 27. The constitu
tional assembly approved yesterday an
article providing for the light of suf
frage without regard to literacy. The
question of woman suffrage was discus
sed briefly, but no action was taken on

During the discussion of the article
proposing prohibition against the hian
ufaeture of Pulque. Pr. Jose Rod
riguez. head of the Department of
Health, said he had been offered SIOO,-
000 it he prevented a prohibition
against the sale of Pulque in Mexico
