young men have pledged them
selves to work together mutually

MRS. MARY WISE
hardly stand the suffering. Re
gardless of what I would eat
it would throw me into severe
pains that made me feel bloated
like I was going to smother. I
was constipated so I was forced
to take strong purgatives all
all the time. It is no wonder
that rheumatism gave me
misery, my whole system was
in such a run down toxic eeom
dition. My sleep was restless
and I was losing weight and
strength rapidly.
“From the first few doses of
Sargoc I could sce a change in
my condition. My appetite
picked and it seemed like I
couldn’t get enough to eat.
Everything agrees with me and
I don’t have those bloating
pains anymore. Sargon toned
up my system and rheumatism
left me. I sleep soundly and
get up feeling fine. Sargom
built me up five pounds and
gave me new life and strength.”
The above statement was
made recently by Mrs. Mary
Wise, highly esteemed resident
of 1511 Langston St., 8. W..
Atlanta.
Sargon may be obtained in
Hazlehurst at The Middleton
Drug Company. ItL
