FERRleR's THEORY.
Relives That Planets Are Cause Of
Booms.

j. w. Ferrier Of this city ieweier
has spent the past fifteen years in
ls,udying the causes Of booms and in
creased prosperity, and claims to
have worked the matter out until he
can accurately tel, fom a scientific
standpoint just when property viii

out, leaving the holders I'm a sad con
dition.
Mr.. Ferrier was formerly a resident
Of reabody Kansas He could not
resist the temptation TO invest in
,ansas property during the boom
period, and placed an of his savings
for years in Wichita. His property
vanished, as did many another mans,
and it was then that ne began the
real study of boom conditions. He
has been in Oklahoma for six years,
Iaad Whine here has made comfort
Iable living in his business.

wholesome food. And this claim has
1een proven by actual experiments
in the following manner: a hard

placed in a bottle containing warm
water heated to ninety-eight degrees
Cor blood heat), one Of the Tablets
was then placed in the bottle and the
proper temperature maintained for
three hours and a half, at the end of
which time the egg was as completely
digested as it would have been in a
healthy stomach. This experiment
was undertaken to demonstrate that
what it would do in the bottle it
would also do in the stomach, hence
its unquestionable value in the cure
Of dyspepsia and weak digestion.
