If in life we would expect to win;
Then let's continue to pray and tight
Against the evils of whiskey, rum

And in the road to destruction yet

For millions more to fall in its path,

Never to fall where millions and

The greatest curse to us that's ever

That you may add another star TO

The poor man of his home and honor;
Then when at the election polls vote

That you may have home up yonder.

About this matter here on earth we

A Menace to Health That the Public
Should Help Suppress.

A Menace to Health That the Public
should Help Suppress.
Every one knows more or less about
Buffalo Lithia Water.
This famous water has undoubtedly
the endorsement OF more physicians IN
the United States and Great Britain
than anything OF similar nature to-
day on the market.
Buffalo Lithia Water has gained
remarkable reputation as a solvent and
eliminator of Renal Calculi and as a
preventive of Calculi. Its favorable ac
ton in Uric Acid, Diabetes, equity
Rheumatic conditions, Albuminuria
of Brights Disease and Pregnancy is
well known.
Some INSCRIPTIONS dealers, seeing
an opportunity OF enriching themselves
at the expense OF the public, and to
the detriment OF their customers
health, have resorted to filling Buffalo
Lithia Water bottles with ordinary
water. BY doing this they are not
only injuring the good name of Buffalo
Lithia Water, but are often creating
serious trouble in giving patients, who
need the medicinal effects Of Buffalo
Lithia Water, water that not
only will fail to accomplish the results
looked for, but often in itself will ere
ate harm.
The proprietor Of Buffalo L:thla
Springs, Virginia, has offered a reward
Of $500 to any one who will give him
sufficient evidence of fraud, to bring
about the conviction of anybody Of
Tending in the above. manner, and eau
tons the public to beware of buying
Buffalo Lithia Water from any but
dealers OF unQuestioned character and
responsibility.
1t should be borne in mind that Buff
falo Lithia Water is sold In lalf-gallon
bottles and no other way, and that
water sold from the siphon, or in COB
lets, or in any other way whatsoever,
is not the genuine. Every cork Of the
genuine Buffalo Lithia Water is brand
ed either Spring No. or Spring No.
2, and upon each cork is the seal
which bears the trademark, and again
the number l or 2. according % the
Spring from which that bottle has been
filed.
We believe that it is the duty Of
all, aside from the reward Which is be-
ing offered, as matter OF self-preser-
walton, and for the general good Of the
public, to cooperate with the propri-
etor OF these famous springs-in the
first place to assure themselves that
they are really getting the genuine
Buffalo Lithia Water vhen they ask
for the same, and in the second place
to report promptly any case that may
come to their notice, where dishonesty
that is apt to p-oduce such serious
results, is being praeticed
