VOLK’S 1046 BROAD STREET BUCKET OF BLOOD BUBNFO TODAY Notorious Negro Dive Com pletely Destroyed by Fire at Early Hour Tuesday Morning. R. ,T. Mitchell's old place on the cor ner of Delaigle Avenue and Twiggs Street, during recent years known as the “Bucket of Blood,” burned to the Advises Lime for Tuberculosis According to the Journal of the Am erican Medical Association (July 27, 1912, Page 308), Dr. C. F. Olsen, of Minneapolis, holds that a “deficiency of calcium” (lime) la responsible for the physical conditions which lead to tuber culosis, "and the therapy he advocates rests on this basis.” One of the reasons for the wide spread success of Eckman's Alterative in the treatment of tuberculosis and chronic throat and bronchial troubles is Its ability to supply this deficiency. It contains a lime salt In such form and so combined with oth<e- remedial agents as to be easily assimilated by the average person. There are on record many cases In which it seems to have effected complete and lasting betterment. However, we make no exaggerated claims for Eckman's Alterative. We pre fer that it be tried on the same bails one tries any other prescription, and w( believe It will help, for IT HAS HELP ED In many cases. It contains no opiates, narcotics or habit-forming drugs. Therefore It is safe to take. If your druggist is out of It. he will order, or you can get it di rect.
