MGreen Gnods" FnasiIn.

One of the most remarkable books
ever published is the photographic
Wirceburgensis," written by a Wurz-
burg naturalist named Behringer in
1926. Probably very few copies are
In existence, as the author destroyed
all that he could get possession of soon
after the book appeared.
He had been victimized by some
practical jokers, who had made a
great variety of artificial fossils" and
hidden them in a quarry, to which
they then enticed the professor. Behr-
niger was oyerjoyed by so rich a find
and had no suspicion of the trick, al
though many of the fossils were of a
very grotesque character.
He took his treasures home, made
elaborate drawings of them and wrote
a minute description of each, as well
as an exhaustive commentary filled
with ingenious and plausible theories.
When he had published the book, the
jokers confessedNnd then, of course
the professor did his utmost to sup
press the work.

A CERTAIN Cure
FOR DYSPEPSIA
NO DRUGS USED.

MONA, the new cure for this disease il
the only agent thus far known which acts
upon the diseased digestive organs them
selves, and not upon their contents, and
herein it differs from all others.
MONA tablets contain none of the So
called digestive ferments such as pepsin
and pancreatin, which have heretofore
formed the base of every remedy sold for
the cure of dyspepsia, Every reputable
physician in the country will tell you
that such fermentS and drugs cannot and
do not digest food They only decom,
pose it, and as decomposed food is nothing
but a mass of corruption and contains no
nourishment whatever, such treatments
are not only practically worthless, but ex.
ceedingly dangerous.
Properly digested food alone makes
blood sustains strength, and gives vital,
ity TO the blood. This is done in its natu,
raj passage through the digestive system,
providing these organs are healthy and
nature allowed her own time to do this
work.
MONA tablets heal and cure the diges.
tive organs. They put the entire diges
tive system in such healthy condition
That they will digest and assimilate any
thing fit for human food. BY taking ont
small tablet before each meal the mos
confirmed dyspeptlcs can enjoy their fopc
without fear of distress. Not only this
hui feel certain that every atom of The
food will be digested and assimilated b.
the organs themselves.
1t only requires "A few days treatm nj

properly nourished, that you are gradual

Heat From Cold Water.

Heat from cold water seems fabu'
lous, but it is an established fact. The
water is decomposed by electricity in.
to its constituent gases, hydrogen and
oxygen. When these gases are reunited,
the act of combination causes the eyo
luton of intense heat. The well known
limelight is an example of this.
