The Package of Seed.
I paid a dime for a package of seed
COFFEE COUNTY PROGRESS

Most Remarkable State
ment Yet Received
About Remarkable Med
icine Comes From At
lanta Woman.
Many remarkable reports of re
covery to health after taking Kar
nak have been made since its in
troduction here, but the following
from Mrs. Dora Turk, 437 Crew St.,
Atlanta, is without a doubt the
greatest tribune yet paid this won
derful medicine.
“Money couldn't buy the good
Karnak has done me,” declares
Mrs. Turk. “For 5 years I had the
wor.-.t case of stomach trouble any
one ever had. My husband spent
$3,000 on treatments and trips to
health resorts for me, but nothing
would help me. For 10 months I
lived on celery, peaches, crackers
an.! milk, and even these things
would nauseate me and make me
miserable. I was always coughing
up blood and water.
“I never could get a good night’s
sleep, and I had no more strength
and the clerk tossed them out
with a flip,
“We’ve got ’em assorted for every
man’s needs,”
He said with a smile on hi 3 lips,
“Parsnips and pepper, and cab
bage and peas!
Ten cents a package! and pick as you
please.”
Now seeds are just dimes to the man
in the store
\nd the dimes are the things that
he needs;
And I’ve been to buy them in season
before,
3ut have thought of them merely as
seeds.
But it flashed through my mind as I
took them this time,
You have purchased a miracle here
for a dime.
“You’ve a dime’s worth of power
which no man can create
You’ve a dijne’s worth of life in your
hand
You’ve a dime’s worth of mystery,!
destiny, fate
Which the wisest cannot understand, j
In this bright little package, now j
isn’t it odd?
You’ve a dime’s worth of something j
known only to God.
“These are seed, but the plants and
blossoms are here
With their petals of various hues, i
In these little pellets, so dry and so j
queer |
There is power which no chemist can!
fuse.
Here is one of God’s miracles soon J
to unfold,
Thus for ten cents an ounce of Di- '
vinity is sold.
At this point Miss Buchan took j
charge of the meeting and for about j
fifteen minutes the club girls sat j
spell bound listening to the interest-j
ing things concerning “Camp Wil- j
kins”, at Athens, the home of the |
l
club girls and boys of Georgia, which
Miss Buchan told in s most compet
ing manner, emphasizing the import
ance of attending these short courses
each year when some of the most dis
tinguished educators of the day will j
be employed to instruct, teach and j
lecture on every phase of club work, J
besides having the privilege of visit- j
ing and inspecting poultry end dairy]
farms where the most accurate rec- ]
ords are kept. There will be hikes |
and visits to all historic places of in
terest, as well as picture shows calist
henics and a visit to the ice cream
factory where you not only enjoy
seeing how the cream is manufacrur- ■
td but sampling its duality.
How our hearts swelled with pride ;
as Miss Buchan told of the equip-I
n m! of the home which was furnbih
ed by the home demonstration > j
agents throughout the State, from
the proceeds obtained from cooking i
schools. How grateful we are to Mrs. j
A. S. Bussey for her untiring efforts
in our county last year and the part
Coffee county had in helping to fur
nish the club girls and boys home
is due largely to her efforts.
Begin now to plan for June 29th,
when club members from all over
the county will meet in Douglas and
leave in cars, chaperoned by Miss
Buchan, for Camp Wilkins to mingle
with about 300 other dub members
from the Savannah district for the
purpose of preparing them selves
for more efficient club work. SIO.OO
cash will defray all expenses for the
entire week including board transpor
tation charges, etc. Sneakers, sun
hat, wash dresses and toilet articles
are all that are needed for this weeks
vacation in which club work will have
full sway. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah
f r camp Wilkins! The most beau
tful and modern club members
home in any si«:e in the Union. Let
than a kitten. Life was just a
i hopeless drag for me, and if I even
tried to sweep the room I would
soon be gasping for breach and feel
like 1 was going to smother I lost
weight continually and became so
discouraged I had given up hope of
ever seeing another well day.
“About two -weeks ago my hus
band bought me a bottle of Kar
nak, and you can just imagine how
besides myself with joy I was
when, after taking a few doses, I
began to feel better. Why, I ac
tually ate a real meal for the first
time in five years, and it didn’t hurt
me a bit.
“Now, since taking two bottles,
I feel entirely well. I have gained
10 pounds already and feel at least
20 years younger. My neighbors
are all marveling at my recovery,
and I will never stop praising Kar
nak to my dying day. My husband
feels just like I do about Karnak,
and he wouldn't let me stop taking
it if it co3t sls a bottle.”
Karnak is sold in Douglas ex
clusively by Union Pharmacy; and
by the leading druggists in every
town. —Advertisement
