Alleged Hog
Cholera Cures
^Government Has Not Approved
Any Treatment Except the
Protective Serum.
E. E. DICKINSON
Washington, D. C., June 3.—
Evidence of what appears to be
a well organized campaign to de
lude farmers throughout the
country into buying an alleged
cure for hog cholera, under the
impression that this has been in
vestigated and approved by the
United States government, has
reached the Department of Agri
culture. Articles praising this
medicine, Benetol by name, are
being sent out widespread to
.newspapers. These articles are
so worded that it appears as if
the department of agriculture
ihad received reports from the
state of Minnesota showing that
the medicine had proved most
beneficial. As a matter of fact
Ahe one report received by the
department was an unofficial and
unsolicited statement sent pre
sumably from the promoters
themselves. The department at
taches no importance whatso
ever to this statement. It has no
reason to believe in the efficiency
of any proprietary cure for hog
cholera and does not recommend
any. Under certain conditions it revived at the quick and warm

urges farmers to protect their
stock with anti-hog-cholera ser
um but that is all.
In connection with this attempt
it may be said that the medicine,
which is now put forward as
good for hogs, was advertised
some time ago as a means of
killing tuberculosis typhoid, and
cancer germs, according to an
article published in the Journal
of the American Medical Asso
ciation. At that time it was as
serted that the Army was inter
ested in it. As a matter of fact
the Army was no more interest
ed then than the department of
agriculture is now.
THE BIG STORE
In view of the evidence that
the attempt to create this false
impression is persistent and wide
spread, all hog owners are warn
ed to communicate with the
United States authorities before
accepting as true any statement
that the government recommends
any treatment other than the ser
um already mentioned.

GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
Mr. Testers ineligibility arises
from the fact that he has held
two appointed terms, one to fill
out J. E. Arnold's four months of
unexpired time, and one to fill
the vacancy of A. E. Swan, who
did not qualify on account of the
division of the county. As the
law limits the incumbency to two
terms, and to not over four years,
Mr. Tester could not fill out a
full term, and is for that reason
declared ineligible to the office.
