Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with Creomulsion, an

lo take. Creomulsion is a new medi

Of all known drugs, creosote Is rec

the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coughs and
colds and other forms of throat and
lung troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other heal

the inflamed membranes and stop the
Irritation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is
absorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys the

Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac

coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
catarrhal bronchitis and other forms
of throat and lung diseases, and is

jmlttee was centered again today on
|'ha variance In estimate* as to the
coat of the house soldier bonus bill.
The American Begion presented an
estimate of $3,300,000,000 In compari
son to the $4,850,000,000 estimate of
Joseph McCoy, treasury actuary, and
tlie estimate of $2,119,000,000 made
by the house on' the basis of a report
of thd veterans bureau actuary, 11. H.
Browni *
The committee has called upon
army and navy officials to present
data on the exact number of veterans
frtltled to the bonus of paid up life
insurance policies and on the average
'ength of service of veterans, on
which the actuaries disagree.
The rtther main point of difference
between, the actuaries—whether the
government will have to account for
interest on the funds which it must
use to pay for the policies—will be
worked out by the committee, which
then will decide for itself. Chairman
Smoot said, what the estimated cost
of the bonus will be.
The committee resumed work today
on the revenue measure, clearing up
soVne of the remaining administrative
provisions, after which the only other
sections of the bill, the miscellaneous
tax schedules, will be taken up.

Army Citation Sought for Dr. Pinto
For His Valiant Work at Havana
Member* of ths American Legion
are endeavoring to obtain recognition
from the go\ernment for Dr. A. S.
Pinto, health commissioner, on ac
count of distinguished services ren
dered in 11*00, wl^h the medical staff
of the army at Havana.
I)r. Pinto has always been adverse
to discuss this episode of his military
career. legionnaires recently heard
of the. incident and are now making
an effort to obtain belated reward.
During the Npanish-American war
lDr. Pinto was a contract surgeon
with rank of first lieutenant. The
yellow fever peril was engaging the
attention of the army ns well as the
medical world. The Heed yellow fever
commission was sent from Washing
ton to Havana to Investigate.
The theory was that the disease
was spread by the mosquito and to
confirm that theory three volunteers
were requested. Dr. Carroll, Dr. La
zesr and Dr. Pinto submitted them
m1v»» to mosquito bites mr scientific
purposes.
Dr. l,azear died within five days aft
rr he was Wften A fort has been
pamed in hia hbnor. Dr. CarroU Was
invalided and died from the efTecia
of the disease. ;J>r. pinto was im
mune.
These experipients established the
'fact that tile mosquito carried the
disease germs. By treating bodies
of water with petroleum the propa
gallon of the mosquito was stopped
and yellow fever reduced to a mini
mum. Dr. Georgas followed with his
famous clean-up of Havana and the
canal zone. It was possible to build
the canal after yellow fever had
been conquered.
Dr. Pinto explained that the ex
periments showed that the female
mosquito developed the fever germs
after biting a patient, and then spread
the disease hv biting others.
