SENATOR SMITH
ASKS REPORT ON
BRUNSWICK PORT
At the request of Senator Hoke
Smith, the senate commerce commit
tee has called upon the secretary of
war to report to that body whether
the project for the Imprdvemnt ot
Brunswick harbor, adopted last year,
provides for sufficient depth to en
able the deepest draft ships to enter
and leave the harbor without wait
ing the tide.
In amendment to this effect was
placed on the recent rivers and har
bors bill, but tne conferees on the
part of the house refused to agree
to the amendment and It was re
jected. Senator Jones, chairman of
the committee, agreed to request
this Information of the secretary of
War without the necessity of an
amendment, and it was in response
to this request of Senator Smith that
the commerce committee adopted the
following resolution:
“Resolved by the committee on
commerce ot the senate of the Unit
ed States that the secretary of war
is hereby requested to report to this
committee on or before the conven
ing of the third session of the sikty
sixth congress whether or not the
project for the improvement of
Brunswick harbor, Georgia, adopted
by the act of March 2, 1919, pro
vides sufficent depth to enable the
deepest draft ships of all regular
lines using this port to reach their
docks or the sea, when fully laden,
without being delayed by the neces
sity of awaiting high water or using
two tides to enter or leave the har
bor; and, if adequate depths are not
provided by the existing project,
whether sufficient depths would be
provided by the larger of the two
projects reported by the chief of
engineers in house document num
bered 393, sixty-fourth congress,
first session.”
This Information was given to Sen
ator Smith, in a letter from the sen
ate committee, which stated that
this resolution was prepared and
sent to the secretary in conformity
with Senator Smith’s request.
At present it Is necessary for the
deeper draft ships to wait for the
tide both in leaving and entering
Brunswick harbor and the adoption
of the “larger project” would mean
the approval of the government to
the deeping of the channel so that
that harbor would be accessible at all
times to deep draft ships without
waiting for the tides.
Santiago Returns to
Normal Condition
After Election Stir
SANTIAGO. Chile, July I.—The
disturbed conditions in Santiago, due
to the uncertainty over the result of
last Friday’s presidential election,
had apparently passed today, the
normal life of the city being resumed.
Street cabs were running again, and
virtually all the troops had been
withdrawn.
The official figures on the choice
of presidential electors to the elec
toral college so* far as compiled ac
cording to the latest announcement,
give Luis Barros Borgono, the Lib
eral-Unionist candidate. 133 votes,
and Arturo Alessandri, candidate of
the liberal alliance, 128 votes. (A
Santiago dispatch of June 28 gave
the unofficial figures as 175 electors
for Alessandri and 173 for Borgono.)
The indications are that it will be
several days before the complete of
ficial count Is known.

ABE LINCOLN WAS
NOMINATED IN
JUST 26 WORDS
CHICAGO. —The nomination ora
' tory which marks the two great po-
I litical conventions this year is in
sharp contrast to the nominating
speeches of the early days of the
parties. This has been brought out
afresh by inquiry at the Chicago His
torical society and the Newberry li
brary here.
In the first great Republican con
vention Abraham Lincoln was nomi
nated for the first time, by Mr. Judd,
of Illinois, in these words:
“I desire on behalf of the delega
tion from Illinois to put in nomina
tion as a candidate for president ot
the United States, Abraham Lincoln,
of Illinois.”
The first national nominating con
vention of the Democratci party was
held twenty-eight years earlier, in
Baltimore, May 21-23, 1532. It was
at thi-? gathering that Andrew Jack
son was indorsed for his second term.
Jackson had been nominated pre
viously in a number of states by the
methods which were then passing
away ana according to the Newberry
library it is doubtful if there was
any speech at all placing him in nom
ination at the first Democratic na
tional convention. The business ot
this convention was principally to
nominate for the vice presidency.
The convention adopted a resolu
tion concurring in Jackson’s "repeat
ed non mations.” The resolution was
drawn in sixty words.
Previous to that time (from 1800)
to IS'JI nominations for the presi
dency and vice presidency, the well
known reference library says, were by
congressional nominating caucus,
consisting of party members of both
houses cf congress. The last con
gressional caucus was held In 1824,
Jackson oppoairg the “king caucus”
as it was termed, as undemocratic.
Tn IR2B he was nominated by state
legislative caucuses and conventions
held in various states. Following
this, popular state conventions grew
up and out of them came the na
tional conventions.

Mrs. Fairey L. May,
Atlanta Woman, Is
Pardoned by Wilson
A telegram was received Thursday
morning by Hooper Alexander, United
States district attorney, announcing
that President Wilson had pardoned
Mrs. Fairey Lethe May, under a
two months’ prison sentence for rais
ing $1 bills to $lO. Mrs. May was
to have begun her sentence Thurs
day. She pleaded guilty in the fed
eral court here April 1, and her sen
tence was set to begin July 1. She
claimed she was driven to counter
feiting because her husband’s salary
was too small to support the family.
The case was an odd one. Mrs.
May ratluer cleverly raised one or two
$1 bills' to $lO and passed them
prlndipally through the medium of
her small son. At Atlanta woman
took much interest in the woman’s
plight after her arrest, and was in
strumental in getting her free on
bond, pending the beginning of her
sentence; and also worked for her
pardon, with the result that it was
granted.
The formal pardon papers will coma
by mail. On the telegraphic an
nouncement, Mr. Alexander will com
municate the good news to Mrs. Maj’
that she does not need to report for
a prison term. ,

DEMONSTRATION
FOR W. G. M’ADOO
ECLIPSES OTHERS
BY BOGEBS WIN TEH
(Staff Correspondent of. The Journal)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. July I.
The Palmer delegates from Geor
gia were quite conspicuous Wed
nesday afternoon in the demonstra
tion attending the, nomination of
their candidate. The Georgia ban
ner was born aloft in the stalwart
arms of Colonel H. H. Dean, of
Gainesville. Levi Reeves, of At
lanta and Cartersville, took off his
glasses and yelled himself perfect
ly blue in the face as he marched
around the hall
Neyle Colquitt, of Savannah, grab
bed a fair young thing who wore a
Palmer badge and was slim enough
to tote on one’s shoulder. He bore
her around for half an hour, and
that was enough for Colonel Col
quitt. Her name and address were
a minor consideration. He
around with her like a Kentucky
saddle horse in a show ring, while
the girl waved a Palmer pennant and
shouted herself hoarse. Certain bold
members of the Georgia delegation
tried to take her away from Col
onel Colquit, but he wouldn’t stand
for it.
Cockran Whoops ’Em Tip
But while the Cox demonstration
exceeded in enthusiasm the Palmer
demonstration, which gave the im
prtJßion of manufactured pyrotech
nics', it remained for that veteran
orator and Democratic war horse,
W. Bourke Cockran, of New York,
to lauch the first burst of real spon
taneous enthusiasm which up to that
moment had occurred since the con
vention opend.
Mr. Cockran placed in nomination
the name of Governor Al Smith, of
New York, the remarkable Democrat
who was peddling fruit and selling
newspapers along the east side less
than twenty-five years ago. He gave
a thrilling and dramatic recital of
the governor’s rise in politics. He
cited Al Smith as the ultimate an
swer to every anarchist wno asserts
the proposition that an American
does not enjoy absolute equality of
opportunity with every other Amer
ican. He declared that Governor
Smith’s nomination would demon
strate the power of conversion as
against the futility of coercion in
dealing with all varieties of malcon
tents and agitators. He wound up
by saying that the Democracy of
New York, while offering Governor
Smith, was offering him reluctlantly.
and if he was not the choice of this
convention for president of the United
States, he would be again the choice
of New York Democracy for governor
of the state, as a means of insur
ing Democratic victory in that state
in the next election.
As the grand old lawyer finished
his speech, the monster pipe organ
plunged into the magic melody of
“Rosy O’Grady,” and the Tammany
delegates stood up and waived Amer
ican flags. Presently, the conven
tion seemed to catch on fire with
a fever of enthusiasm, the Tammany
delegation left their seats and be
gan a march around the hall. New
Jersey followed them. Vermont join
ed in, lowa joined, so did Connecti
cut, so did Georgia, so did Cali
fornia, and Louisiana, and West Vir
ginia, and Mississippi, and Missouri,
and Pennsylvania, and Illinois, and
so on down the line until every
state banner was bobbing in the line
marc hed through the aisles,
while the pipe organ continued to
oewitch the mammoth crowd with the
melodious strains of Irish songs.
, wa ® Perfectly spontaneous and
unexpected. It was a tribute to Irish
eloquence as exemplified by W.
Bourke Cochran; to Irish melody as
played by the organist, with the band
joining in; to Tammany’s good spirit
and good manners, as splendidly ex
pressed in the great lawyer’s speech,
and, finally, as a sign that the dele
gates wanted to get up and stretch
their legs. Verse after verse, and
chorus after chorus the organ played
oathe tun e of “Rosy O’Grady,”
Ahei: great convention hall
• thr,obhcd...with a stupendous hum of
voices,.-, joining in the song.
Veteran- politicians and newspaper
men declared they never saw in any
convention such a remarkable upris
ing of sudden enthusiasm, totally un
premeditated, unplanned and undirect
ed. As a fitting climax to the dem
onstration, Mrs. Lillian Sire, a New
York delegate, secended the nomina
tion of Governor Smith in a speech
expressing their grateful apprecia
tion of the tribute paid to him, and
the Virginia standard-bearer march
ed to the rostrum and presented her
a gorgeous bouquet of flowers.
Georgians' Second Choice
The Georgia delegation talk dif
ferent ways concerning their second
choice in the event Attorney Gen
real Palmer cannot be nominated.
Some are holding for Palmer to the
finish, as the hard-headed members
of the Georgia delegation held out for
Underwood at the Baltimore conven
tion eight years ago, while others
are in favor of going to McAdoo
after a few ballots, and a third ele
ment favor going to Cox. While the
Palmer demonstration was quite
spectacular in many ways, it did not
have the pep or spontaneous enthu
siasm of the Cox demonstration, and
was not in a class with the demon
stration for Governor Cox, of Ohio,
or Governor Al Smith, of New York,
or ex-Secretary McAdoo.
The ’after demonstration swept the
convention into a furore of excite>-
ment. Practically every delegate on
the floor was on his feet for forty
five minutes, either participating in
the demonstration or watching it in
tently, and the press box was in a
state of pandemonium for the first
time since the convention opened.
The Palmer forces had employed a
tall and raw-boned and red-haired
cheer leader from the University of
California to lead their demonstra
tion, and he certainly earned his
money. The Cox forces came along
with another cheer leader, who hailed
from Ohio, and went the Californian
one better by climbing to the top
of the chairman’s pulpit and danc
ing like a snake-bitten Indian. He
was certainly the goods, that Cox
cheer leader. He also had a shock
of red hair. He wore white trous
ers and a white shirt with sleeves
rolled up, and carried a megaphone.
He kept the Cox demonstration going
for thirty-six minutes, which was
four minutes longer than the Palmer
demonstration. The Cox band also
contributed materially to the festivi
ties by playing “Are You From Dixie”
until the entire convention was ready
to dance.
McAdoo Ncfl.se Elips-es AU
And then came the perfectly de
vastating demonstration for McAdoo,
which eclipsed Everything that had
gone before. Rev. Burris Jenkins,
the Kansas City publisher and poli
tician and preacher, was introduced.
He was greeted with cheers. He
lifted his hand for silence. “I had
| Intended,” said he, "to make an ad
dress presenting the name of a dis
inguished Democrat for president
f the United States. But on ac
•ount of his persistent requests I
i have decided not to nominate him
■in a speech. I feel sure, however,
from the spirit manifested here, that
we shall draft him for the service
of his country. We know if he is
drafted he will accept the nomina
tion. Any published statement that
he will not accept the nominations
is a slander perpetrated by enemies
of the party. I, therefore, place in
nomination the name of the Hon.
William Gibbs McAdoo.”
Instantly pandemonium broke loose
in the hail. Every delegate leaped
to his feet. The whole press box
climbed on top of their desks. A
man in the Missouri delegation grab
bed the banner and started to
march. Another man grabbed him
and tried to hold him back. A fight
was on. The banner was broken
like a match stem in the enraged
hands of a dozen furious delegates.
Finally one got hold of the ragged
fragment of pasteboard bearing the
name of the state and darted down
the aisle with a smile of triumph on
his face. A team of McAdoo boost
i ers mounted the rostrum and took
I possession of it. They were from
I Texas, and the flung into the white
> light flooding them from a power
i ful battery of search lights the flag
of the United States, and the flag
of their state, which was once a Re
public with one lone star as the em
blem of its courage and self-reliance
State after state fell in bahind the
Missouri delegate who married with
the fragment of his banner. The
band and pipe organ played “Over

President Pardons
Early Whitehead
ATHENS, Ga., July 1. —President
Wilson, acting upon the recommenda
tion of the department of justice,
has pardoned Early Whitehead of
Madison county. News of this fact
was conveyed in a telegram from
the attorney general, i Win. L. Frie”
gon, to Congressman C. H. Brand, of
Athens.
Young Whitehead was tried and
sentenced to sixty days in jail dur
ing the last term of the fedral court
held in Athens by Judge Samuel H.
Sibley, because he failed to register.
The only issue before the jury was
whether or not. he was eighteen years
of age. Whitehead contended he was
not eighteen at the time of the draft.
Judge Sibley, in a communication
subsequent to the trial, stated he did
not think there was any intention
on the part of the boy to be a de
serter, though he did not recommend
a pardon. ?
The case was brought to the atten
tion of Judge Brand by Gordon and
Gordon, of Danielsville. He imme
diately tpok the matter up, in per
son, with the attorney general. A
petition asked for his pardon. The
petition was signed by many promi
nent citizens of Madison county, in •
eluding the county officers and the
registration board of the county.
There,” while the floor of the audi
torium raged like . the surface of
a storm-swept ocean, and the mam
moth semi-circle of spectators in the
gallery rose to their feet and shriek
ed like maniacs.
Rally to McAdoo Standard
Suddenly there mounted to the
chairman’s pulpit a good-looking wo
wan, with a black and white plaid
skirt and a Kansas badge. She threw
above her head a McAdoo banner of
bright green silit, with the name of
McAdoo in letters of white, and a
border of orange. Suddenly the pro
cession began to halt in front of
the rostrum. Texas stopped first
and threw up its banner like a chal
lenge of defiance. Kansas stopped
and took its stand beside the Lone
Star state. Washington stopped and
threw aloft its banner. Then Wis
consin, then North Carolina, then
South Dakota, then Wyoming, then
Delaware. One by one the banners
gathered to the McAdoo standard un
til there was ranged in front of the
rostrum the states above named and
also the states of South Carolina,
Florida, Utah, Nevada, Idaho. Cali
fornia, Nebraska, Arizona, Michigan
and the territories of Alaska, Hawaii,
the Philippines and Porto Rico.
Then came the state of Illinois,
with its monster delegation amidst
a thunder of applause, to be followed
by Rhode Island and Tennessee. Rev.
Burris Jenkins stood on top of a
table on the stage and surveyed the
scene with a gleam of triumph in
his eyes, a flood of white light poured
upon him by the searchlights in the
gallery. The band and organ shifted
their tunes to “atS srand Stripes
Forever.” The mammoth auditorium,
built of concrete and steel, seemed
to quived and tremble in the hurri
cane of cheers. Th demonstration
started at 4:35 and continued with
increasing enthusiasm until 5:16.
Thomas A. Love, national com
mitteeman from the state of Texas,
appeared on the rostrum and made a
sign for silence. It took him four
minutes to quiet the tumult, the Mc-
Adoo outburst had run without abate
ment for forty-five minutes. It
seemed all gver with the other can
didate's.

characteristic Danish patience, he
waited. And then—
Standing in the subway one day a
letter fluttered at his feet, blown
along by the rush of a train. He
picked it up.
“Miss Helene Anderson.” the ad
dress read; “138 W. Eighty-third
street.”
“The old love came back when I
saw Valdimi'r,” says Miss Anderson.
“Any man that will search nearly a
year for a girl loves her better than
anyone else could. Yes, we’ll be mar

SPA CONFERENCE
HOPES TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS OF WAR
LONDON, July 1. —Entente repre
sentatives will go to the Spa. confer
ence With a firm determination to
clear up the many controversies in
connection with the German peace
treaties, it was authoritatively stat
ed here today. Conclusion of the Spa
meeting will find the disarmament,
reparations and economic issues def
initely disposed of, it was stated.
The conference at Brussels, which
will be preliminary to the Spa meet
ing, will - determine the maximum
concessions to be made to Germany
by the allies and the mimimum of
Ge. man obligations.
It was understood that Premiers
Lloyd George and Millerand have
agreed on the proposals to be sub
mitted to German representatives.
In diplomatic circles the opinion was
expressed that these first proposals
would certainly be rejected by the
Germans, in which event the Ger
man representatives would be invited
to submit counter proposals.
Considerable doubt was felt re
garding the probable attitude of
Italian Premier GioLitti toward the
entente negotiations, but it was not
believed any serious disagreements
would arise.
The Russian, Turkish and Polish
problems will be considered at Brus
sels. It was expected they would be
informally taken up at Spa also.
Decisions reached at the Spa con
ference will not be contingent upon
America’s acceptance. The United
States will not be officially repre
sented. but Americans attending the
conference in an unofficial capacity
will be consulted regarding various
questions.
The British official who is an as
sociate of Lloyd George declared to
day that Great Britain was through
with ‘‘diplomacy taat gets nowhere.”
He said there would be no squab
bling at Spa over non-essential de
tails, as the entente was animated
by a desire to reach quickly an equit
able and workable solution to the
questions on which decisions are to
be reached. It was understood that
Premier Millerand held this same
view but was determined to hold Ger
many to the letter of the peace
treaty on the more important issues,
such as disarmament, deliveries of
coal to France and guarantees
against aggression.
Devil Invented Auto,
Says Dr. Broughton
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 3.—The
automobile was invented by the devil,
asserted Rev. Len G. Broughton, D.
D., pastor of the First Baptist
church, in an address to the East
Tennessee Women’s Missionary union
here. He declared that the devi
“never made a shrewder invention.
“I think he must have at least
had a hand in it from the servic
he is getting out of it,” Dr. Brough
ton said. “It has come to such a
pass that one-third of a city congre
gation will be away from the Sun
day service driving in the country,
at some mountain or water resort
having a good time on Sunday. When
we talk of good roads, which are all
right in their way, we must fix our
fences so the church will not be the
loser as it always is.”

The explosion occurred in front of
the main gate of the house just prev

casualties were caused.

TURN TO BETTER
BUSINESS HAS
ALREADY BEGUN
WASHINGTON, July I.—Business
is passing through a period of. re
adjustment and, in many instances,
of depression,, the federal reserve
board declared last night in its June
review of general business and fi
nancial conditions of the country.
"There is, however, every indica
tion that this transition period will
not last long—lndeed, that the turn
toward new conditions has already
been taken,” declared the board’s
summary of reports of its agents
who, taking the country as a whole,
found considerable variation in busi
ness conditions. • »
Reduction in retail prices, begun
in May, became universal during
June, it was said in explanation ot
the continued large volume of re
tail trade. The price-cutting move
ment, the board said, had been aided
bv the refusal of the public to pay
high prices, although the tendency
of wholesale prices to maintain cur
rent levels was declared to have
been a cunteracting influence. Ex
cept for clothing and stioes, all es
sential commodities, including food
stuffs, show little indication of re
duction, but luxuries and non-es
sentials in many lines have been
"distinctly cut.’’
"Quite generally there is a ten
dency to settle down to a readjust
ment basis and to proced with uusi
ness upon a new level of prices and
demand,” the board asserted. “Con
trol of credit and discrimination be
tween non-essential and speculative,
borrowing are producing some re
sults, although these are reported
as developing themselves slowly and
gradually. The present price situa
tion is unsettled, and is being close
ly watched. While some price re
porting agencies show a reduction,
others show increases.”
Congestion of Goods
Although some improvement in
transportation was noted, the rail
roads were said not to have yet over
come the breakdown and ‘‘great con
gestion of goods” was reported
still exist. Frequent complaints of
car shortage were reflected by the
agents’ reports, some indicating a
menacing shortage of coal, which,
unless remedied, will “seriously in
terfere with manufacturing.” The
reports on manufacturing for the
month, however, ranged from ex
treme optimism to equally extreme
pessimism.
Fossibly the most encouraging
factor for the month was the im
provement of agricultural prospects,
all crops except cotton showing im
provement with seasonable weather,
good distribution of rainfall and
replanting of crops. ,
Distinct improvement in the
mbney situation was noted during
the month, although It was said that
conditions in the financial centers
showed little change. Control of
credit, it was said, was assisted ma
terially by the Advanced interest
rate on treasury ertificates of in
debtedness, and the higher rates of
discount at federal, reserve banks.
Industral operations during the
month of May and the early part of
June continued to suffer from un
certainty on account of the labor sit
uation, according to the board. Lit
tle relief has been obtained in con
nection with the labor situation on
farms, the board said, while unrest
in some of the basic industries,
notably • transportation, has been
maintained.
Strikes Hold up Business
Sporadic strikes in many parts ol
the country, particularly on the east
ern seaboard, have been a serious
deterrent ,to the movement of goods
and the continuance of manufactur
ing, the board asserted. Employes
are generally feeling that further
advances in wages present great dif
ficulty on account of the resistanc c
of the public to further increase 4 n
prices, the report said.
The worst condition respecting
crops was said to relate to cotton,
it appearing from the Atlanta dis
trict reports that the poor conditions
already reported by the govern
ment nave been but little improved
and that the acreage will be small,
with tlje yield low.
The Atlanta reports, referring tq
general conditions, said that there
was a tendency oji tHfe phtt of thq;
to refuse to pay -exorbitant
prices and that the VdluMe of re
tail business had decrease-d after be
ing stimulated bv price cuts.
“Thera is, on the whole,” said the
Atlanta report,, "no uneasiness con
cerning the future of business ani
industry. It is becoming more and
more apparent, however, that the
process of deflation has begun.’’
The Richmond district reported
“the break down of the traffic sys
tem and the wave of price cutting
in retail stores were the outstanding
features.” Widespread • protest
against high prices, it was added,
haq had ah unsettling effect in all
lines of trade.

Arrests of War Risk
Swindlers Expected
WASHINGTON, July I.—Further
arrests in the alleged conspiracy
among employes of the war risk in
surance bureau to defraud veterans
of compensation due them are prob
able, it was said here today. Three
persons have already been arrested
and secret service men believe that
as many a? 35 may be involved
According to announcements at the
treasury, the fraud was perpetrat

ALL WRONG
WAS HER LIVER
Before Taking Black-
Draught, Missouri Lady
Was Troubled With Con
stipation, Headache
and Bad Taste in
Mouth
Grandin, Mo. —Mrs. Susa Brooks, of
this place, writes: “Some time ago I
was in a bad fix, with stomach and
liver trouble. I did not feel good at
any 'time. I was very constipated,
and had headaches from this condi
tion, and had a continual hurting in
my stomach, and bad taste in the
mouth. Could tell my liver was all
wrong.
“I had known of Black-Draught, so
decided to try it myself. I began
with a large dose or doses, gradually
getting to smaller doses. It regulat
ed my bowels, relieved me of the
hurting in my stomach, cleaned off ,
my liver and made me feel like a new
person.”
If you get up in the morning feel
ing as tired as you did when you
went to bed—achy, coated tongue,
bad taste in mouth, sallow complex
ion—then your liver has not done its'*
full duty, and your system has ab
sorbed the poisons which your liver
should have taken away.
An occasional dose of Thedford's
Black-Draught Will help this impor
tant organ to function properly.

Draught liver medicine today.

Acts On The Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Purifies the Blood
The liver is the largest and most
important orgaii in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,’
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immedi
ately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood,
to absorb and carry Into the sys
tem the Impurities that the liver
and kidneys have failed to elimin
ate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, and that Is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights. Calomel or other ordinary
laxatives do not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system In
order and frequent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in' one. ’Thid
-was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
“blbn for' many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a< harmless vegetable remedy
' that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under hls
personal guarantee that It will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it in
the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts.” It will
prove a household friend and a val
uable remedy.— (Advt.)

BEWARE!
That case of malaria may be
come chronic. Many people
think they are free from it, and
I attribute their low state of
health to various other reasons.
The chronic effects are Anaemia,
yellov? skin, enlargement of the
spleen and liver, together with
a general low state of health.
Stop trying to cure the effects.
Get rid of the cause by taking
Oxidine, a preparation that
drives malaria out of your blood.
It is also an excellent tonic, and
will make your system strong
enough to resist any further
effects from this dreadful disease.
