If Your Chi d Hawks and
Coughs, Simply Apply Cam

So many people neglect their children's
cough until It may develop into whooping
cough, croup, or bronchitis. Then you
would wish you had a jar of Camphorole
iiandy. It quickly touches the spot and
gives sure relief. The remarkable success
of Camphorole ia entirely due to Winter
ureen, .Menthol and Camphor, prepared in
a synthetic way to give results.
Camphorole is recommended for Whoop

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
PERSONAL--SOCIAL
"Triumph of the Cross'
by Westminster Choir
To-morrow evening at 8.15 the
Westminster Presbyterian Church
choir, under the direction o£ Robert
C. Smith, with J. Stewart Black at the
organ, will render Alexander Mat
thew's latest Easter cantata, "The Tri
umph of the Cross," a work of won
derful tonal beauty and charm; which
the publishers, G. Schirmer & Co., of
New York, consider one of his master
pieces, written in the ultra-modern
style and presenting old themes in an
entirely new setting.
The principle solo parts will be
taken by Mrs. Phoebe Turner, sopra
no; Miss Alice Rollison, contralto; K.
H. Gotschall, tenor; and Robert C.
Smith, baritone, each the finest of
their kind and well suited to the
parts.
The choir at Westminster has en
deavored each spring to bring to the
attention of the music-loving people
of this city, something new and mod
ern, and believe that for their friends
to miss the opportunity of hearing this
work would be a great loss.
PARISH DANCING CLASS

SAYS HOT WATER
EACH DAY KEEPS
THE DOCTOR AWAY
Drink glass of hot water before
breakfast to wash out
the poisons.
Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous day's indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac
tion of hot water and limestone phos
phate on an empty stomach is won
derfully invigorating. It cleans out
all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite fo# breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside or
gans.
The millions of people who arc
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is suffi
cient to make any one a pronounced
crank on the subjoct of internal sani
tation.—Advertisement.

CHILD GETS SICK~
CROSS, FEVERISH
IF CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Then give fruit
laxative for stomach,
liver, bowels. ,
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm children and
they love it.
A laxative to-day saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ail
ment, give a teaspoonful of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs," then don't
worry, because it is perfectly harm
less, and in a few hours all this con
stipation poison, sour bile and fer
menting waste will gently move out
of the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again, a thorough "in
side cleansing" Is oftimes all that is
necessary. It should be the tirst treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit flg syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Look
carefully and see that it is made by
the "California Fig Syrup Com
pany."

PACIFIST HOLDS UP
MEDICAL CORPS
[Continued From First Page]
effort was made to increase the num
ber of enlistments. The pacifists then
got to work.
Get "Cold Feet"
Several of the original applicants
suddenly became victims of the malady
popularly called "cold feet." They
withdrew their amilications without
giving any excuse. At the same time
a sturtling lack of patriotism was
manifested by a few doctors when they
were asked to join the local corps.
A quiet investigation soon disclosed
the cause of this situation. It was
learned that a well-known doctor, who
had refused to enlist in the Medical
Officers' Reserve Corps and to support
the movement to form a Harrisburg
unit, was discouraging others from en
listing. -
Whether his motive is one of dis
loyalty to the government or pure self
ishness is not known, but It is a shock
ing and distressing exhibition of a
lack of patriotism, a number of physi
cians said.
It was hoped that the Harrisburg
unit would be established by this time,
bnt because of delays of various na
tures and the activities of those who
are opposing the movement it will
probably not be completed until the
last of this month.
A resolution offering their medical
and surgical services to the Federal
[Government was unanimously adopted
by the Dauphin County Medical
Society.
The resolution which was intro
duced by Dr. Hugh Hamilton and sec
onded by Dr. John Oenslager, both of
this city, is as follows:
Whereas, The entrance of the
United States into preparations for
war is apparent; we, as part of
the organized profession of medi
cine here, recognize the need of
our assistance to the Nation, in
the struggle against inhuman ag
gression, to the fullest extent of
our ability and efficiency now.
Therefore, Resolved, That we,
members of the Dauphin County
Medical Society, affiliated and
members of the American Medical
Association, do herewith offer un
animously and unreservedly our
medical and surgical services to
the Federal Government, and also
the building of the Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, Academy of Medi
cine for any hospital purposes
whatever.
Certified copies ..of the resolution
were sent to-day to the Secretary of
War, Washington, D. C. t and to Gov
ernor Brumbaugh.

RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE CURED
By Rubbing With Lin.ments
and Ointments
If you arc one of the many
thousand victims of torturing
Rheumatism make up your mind
to-day that you will abandon
your efforts to rub the disease
away with liniments, lotions, oint
ments, and local applications.
Such treatment by itself is not
only futile and devoid of results,
but is a waste of time, during
which the disease is getting a
firmer hold on your system.
Rheumatism is a stubbon dis
ease. It is not on the surface,
therefore you must not expect to
be able to cure it with remedies
applied to the surface. No one
ever yet effected a permanent
cure in this way, so why should
you continue to suffer while re
lying upon treatment that has
failed in thousands of cases?
The experience of others af
flicted with Rheumatism is your
best guide and by following their
advice you can not only save
yourself untold suffering, but rid
yourseslf of a disease that will
eventually wreck your body and
leave you helpless Almost every
victim of Rheumatism has practi
cally the same experience. They
are so impressed with the pains
and suffering of the' disease, and
are so anxious to get rid of them
that they have treated the pains
alone, and overlooked their cause.
They have rubbed with liniments,
lotions and ointments in an effort
to get temporary relief, with no
chance of doing themselves any
permanent good.
Such was the experience of Mr.
Caspus Bibb of 2424 Tenth Ave.,
Bessemer, Ala., who writes to tell
how he found relief from this ter

"A few years ago I suffered from
a severe attack of articular Rheu
matism that rendered me almost
helpless. By the use of the usual
external remedies I was able to
check the pain somewhat, but did
not regain the full use of my limbs,
and on cloudy days or when ex
posed to dampness or cold I would
immediately suffer from stiff and
aching joints. I began to take
S. S. S„ and all symptoms at once
began to disappear, until now I
have no fear of exposure to the
worst sort of weather. I feel it my
duty to recommend H. S. S. to all
who wish to free themselves from
the torturing clutches of Rheuma
tism." 4
Any physician will tell you
that Rheumatism is a deep
seated blood disease. The pain
is not the disease itself but mere
ly a symptom nature's warning
to you that you have been attack
ed. The only intelligent treat
ment, therefore, is through the
blood; treatment directed toward
eliminating the disease germs
from the blood. For years nearly
all the prescriptions used by the
medical profession were those
containing iodide of potash or
mercurial substances, but in near
ly every case these minerals are
more injurious to the system than
the disease itself.
One reason why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism and other blood
disorders is the fact that it is a
purely vegetable remedy, being
made from roots and herbs gath
ered direct from the forests. It
contains not a particle of mineral
substance, and acts by driving all
disease germs from the blood
and cleansing it of all impurities.
S. S. S. has been on the market
for fifty years, and every drug
gist has sold it ever since he has
been in business. It is sold under
an absolute guarantee that it is
purely vegetable.
Our medical department is
maintained for the benefit of the
afflicted, and if you will write
fully about your case you will be
