NUXCARA WILL GIVE RELIEF
It hasbecn estimat;d that 90 per
cent of the people of this country are
suffering from indigestion, in a more or
less serious form. The worst feature of
it is that the majority of these are not
doing anything to stop it. Every day
that this goes on ameans an additional
weakening of some vital organ, for
there is practically no fataldisease that
does not start originally from some form
of indigestion.
« If you have heart-burn, sick head
ache, languor, sour stomach, nausea,
giddiness, bad, breath, melancholy,
sleeplessness, impatience or nervous
ness, its safe to_say that you are af
flicted with indigestion. Don’t delay
until you are seriously ill. Cure your
self and eliminate the doctor bill.& If
you wish to avoid trouble Emickly and
cheagly, take a bottle of Ruxcara
which has afforded relief to hundreds.
We will be glad to send you some of
our numerous testimonials from grate
ful people. Write for Nuxcara to the

one’s self,
The attendance at the service'
Tuesday night was splendid. Mr.l
King’s description of the trial and !
crucifixion of Jesus was so vivid |
that even though the C(mgrega-i
tion had listened over and over|
again to this most memorablei
event of all the worid’s history, a
fuller realization of the sui’fering,
of Christ in giving his life on thei
cross for an undone world was |
experienced. . Mr. Wolslagel’s'
messages in song sent the mes-|
sage of the preacher more sharp- |
ly home to the hearts of the lis-|
teners, and although immediate |
of both song and sermon were |
not shown, the influence is bound
to be evidence in the lives of the'
men and women who heard. A
large number stayed to the after]
service and \Wednesday morning |
at seven o'clock a band of earnest |
christians met at the church for
prayer. I
A number from Ocilla and some
nearby churches are attending
the night services.
The meetings will continue
through Friday. “
