volume.
Two characteristics of this river We
especially notice. First. is rapid in
crease, symbolizing the victorious pre-
gress of the gospel, gaining power as it
spreads over the earth. We only need
to look back over the course OF one or
two generations to see it plainly.
The other part set forth by the river
in Ezekiel's vision is the healing ard re-
storing influence Of Christianity.
Let US greatfully watch every sign Of
the healing power of divine grace. Let
US derive fresh encouragement from the
cheering words OF the ancient prophet.
There is much barrenness and death still
In the earth, but the life giving river is
rising and its channels are finding their
WAY through every land Aud every

A naturalist, while visiting Great San
cir, one of those islands of the Indian
ocean known az the Celebes or Spice
islands, found a curious time recorder
lodged at the house of a rajah. Two
bottles were firmly dashed together and
fixed In a wooden frame. A quantity
of black sand ran from one bottle into
the other in just half an hour, and
when the upper bottle was empty the
frame was reversed. Twelve short
sticks, marked with notches from one
to twelve, were hung upon a string. A
hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number of notches CORE
spending to the hour last struck and
the one to be struck next. The sentry
announced the time by striking the
hours on a large gong.

We Paid 100000

for the rights to Liquozone for the United
States. We tested this product for years
In the most difficult germ diseases; then
We bought these rights for the highest
price ever paid for scientific discovery.
We paid that price because Liquozone
does what all the skill in the world can
not do without it. Any drug that kills
germs is poison to you and it cannot be
taken internally. The best physicians,
the world over, employ Liquozone alone
for germ troubles; and any physician
who doesn't is almost helpless in any
germ disease.
The Somerset reporter., 1903-12-03

Liquozone-liquid oxygen-is the only
product that can kill germs in the body
without killing you. No man knows any
other way to destroy the cause of any
germ disease.
1t is new to America, and millions who
need it don't know of it. For that reason
we make this remarkable offer. We will
buy the first bottle and give it to you if
you need it. We will do it willingly,
gladly, to convince you at once and for
ever that Liquozone does kill germs.

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these troubles
is to help Nature overcome the germs,
and such results are indirect and I'M
certain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are in
evitable. By destroying the cause of the
trouble, 1t invariably ends the disease,
and forever.
