Consumption

The only kind of copsunp-

consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a curablc disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is SO often incurable.
AT the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once. has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emvl-

Perpetual Melton
Machine Patented,
Believed That Great Problem has
ut Last Been Solved The
Inventor Il Sumter Ar
chitect, Generates
Power for Eff
fcctive Work
Special to The State.

Ielgler, an architect of this city,
has invented machine for pcrpe-
! tual motion which he thinks has
solved the problem which has puz-
zled the world up to this time.
1t Is the first perpetual motion in
vention that the United States
government has allowed patent
for in 40 years. 1t has also been
ipatented in every foreign country.
Mr.. Ieigler would not make his
invention public until he had it
covered by patents IN every coun-
try. In the near future Mr..
Zeigler will use this machine for
practical work.
The United States patent office
has the following to say about the
machine: This invention uti-
lizes the gravitative force of
travelling weight arranged to move
in circle and during each revo
luton to pass towards and from
the centre Of rotation in path,
to bring the preponderance of
weight on the descending side of
the rotative support, carrying the
same weight, whereby power is
generated to perform effective
work.
"The invention will be more
fuEly understood by the following O
descriptions: Looking at the ma
chine from the side elevation of q
wheel or rotary support provided
with travelling weights and guides
therefor extended outward from
the axis or centre of rotation of
said wheel or support. In the pre-
terahie construction the rotary
support assumes the form OF a
wheel and composes an outer rim
| No. l, inner rim No. 3, hub No.
I3, spokes No. I, connecting hub
No. 3 with I'm No. 3, and spokes
No. connecting rim No. 3 with

friction, the wheel or rotary sup
port Is counted upon ball bear
lngs. The spokes or guides No.
D have approximately tangential
arrangements with reference to
rim No. 2 and their end polticns
curve in the same direction, the
outer cnrves being more gradual
and OF greater length than the in
ner curves. In order to more
accurately define the relation of
the guides with reference to radli
