26 GERMANSCIENTISTS GLAIN “FLU"™ CURE S_ymptomatic Remedy Is Found in Mexican Drug, Two in Berlin Say. | | By the Assoctated Press, ., LONDON, February 15.—Deaths from influenza in 107 large English towns Rumbered 967 last week, against 652 and 321 for the two previous weeks. ~London alone showed 331 dead, against 198 the preceding week. The figures brought the total of influenza dead since January 1 to 2,340. There were fif4 in the same period in 1928. ~ Deaths from bronchitis and broncho- Pheumonia were double those of last year, there being 1,981 since February 1, as compared with 973 for the same | period in 1928. In view of the increase in the epi- e particular interest was attached || to-advices from Berlin of a cure for the disease. Dispatches said that Prof. || Louis Lewin, toxicologist, and Paul Bchuster, nerologist, of the University ||| of. Berlin, had discovered a symptomatic ||| Temedy. | The drug is described as an alkaloid of creeper, or liana, indigenous to Mex- dco and Ecuador, where it is used by ||| Indians as a narcotic. It was said to bé’ particularly beneficial in treatment || of . cerebral influenza. | “The discovery, however, is regarded as ||| fuits initial stage. Geographical distri- ||| bution of the plant is yet to be deter- ||| niined and the doctors themselves know ||| of only 1.2 grams of the drug through- o the world. “JNWRITTEN LAW” PLEA || EXPECTED AT TRIAL||| Mrs. Perkins Faces Jury in Death of “Other Woman”—Jury May ; Get Case Today. the Associated Press. home and babies at her trial in Circuit Court on a charge of gze‘r'-ring “the other woman,” Mrs. 1 Owens of Louisville.

Long-Standing Feud Over Mule Results In Murder, Suicide By the Associated Press. RUSHVILLE, IIl, February 15.—A feud started by a mule was blamed yesterday for the deaths of Newton Sowers and Gilda Strausbaugh, farmers. Several years ago Sowers' mule strayed into Strausbaugh’s pas- ture. Sowers said his neighbor beat the animal, and threatened reprisal. The grudge they bore each other was well known to neighbors, but was never consid- ered serious. Yesterday Strausbaugh went into Sowers’ barn, shot him dead and then.turned the gun on him- seif. THE EVENING KANS INVTED T0 CONVENEHER Local Club Votes to Make Bid for 1932 Interna- tional Convention. Kiwanis International, composed of 1,800 clubs . throughout the United States and Canada, with a total of more than 100,000 members, today was ex- tended an invitation to hold its 1932 convention _in this city, it was an- -|.nounced by Edgar Morris, president of the Washington Kiwanis Club. Decision to ask the convention here When Dr. Caldwell started te practice medicine, back in 1875 the needs for a laxative were n ||| as great as they are today. Peo- iMillions of Families Depend| 'on Dr. Caldwell’s Prescription ple lived normal, quiet lives, ate {[: plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sunshine. But even that early there were | drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which | Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put into their systems. a prescription for a laxative to be used by his patients. _The prescription for constip: tion that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable rem- edy, intended for women, chil- dren and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe, gen- tle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. Under successful management this prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxative in the world. The fact that millions of bottles are used a year proves that it has won the confidence of people who needed it to get relief from headaches, bilious- ness, flatulence, indigestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and fevers. Millions of families are now never without Dr. Caldwell's So he wrote | AT AGE 83 | | Syrup Pepsin, and if you wlll‘ once start using it you will also always have a bottle handy | for emergencies. 1 1t is particularly pleasing to | know that the most of it 1s‘ bought by mothers for them- | selves and the children, though Syrup Pepsin is just as valuabie for elderly people. All drug stores have the generous bottles. A trial is sure to convince any ‘ household of the metits of this famous prescription. “ STAR, WASHINGTON, / D. €.
