THE MAXIM GUN

In the recent great battle OF Om-

his brothers, Hudson and Samuel
Maxim. are men who possess talent

the world over as the inventor Of
smokeless powder. and Samuel. the
youngest of these remarkable brothers,
a resident of Wayne. Me-. is now rec

papers of recent date we have been
told of what appears to be the great
est discovery yet made by any mem
Der of the gifted Maxim family and it
certainly marks great advance in the
science of medical chemistry.
BY this new discovery an element is
introduced into the human system
which acts in a singularly effective
manner in offsetting the result OF
years OF disease and disorder. so that

causes dyspepsia. Mr.. Maxim made
this remarkable discovery while al
work in his laboratory at Wayne, Me.
where he accidentally upset a glass OF
peptonized milk. Analysing the new
substance. he at once realized the I'M
portance of the discovery--the discov-
cry of a protein which he calls Max
inns Protein from PepsniZed Milk.
Soon after this he had plainly shown
by it's use in a large number Of cases
hat it would do in curing dyspepsia
what could never be done before for in
very case it completely antidotes the
trouble.
The reputation Of the new substance
spreading rapidly. The medical
profession especially is becoming most
eeply interested and profoundly I'M
pressed by it. But it will not be neces

Maxim through the medical station es

the stomach is made to perform its
functions accurately from day to day,

Arrangements have been made for

ample box will be sent containing a
