Greely's Awful Writing.

1t is interesting to recall the fact
that Horace Greeley left behind
him a very frank criticism of the
legibility of his own chirography
Being up town in New York one
day, and wishing to send a tele-
gram and also to get shaved, he
entered hotel and sent his dis
patch. Then, passing into the
barber shop, he sat down in chair
and according to custom) was
soon sound asleep.
Meantime the telegram had
created a decided sensation, Mr..
Greeley having thrown it down
hastily on the desk and neglected
to translate it. Nobody, from the
manager down, being able to sup
ply a legible equivalent for the
mysterious characters, a messen-
ger was sent into the barber shop
with the screed.
Waking with start, and sup
posing that the boy had brought
an answer to his dispatch, Mr..
Greeley took the paper, scanned il
for a moment, and then, with a
look of deep disgust, piped out:
What blamed idiot wrote this9''

indicates the value of Liquozone. Claims are easily made. but men of our class don't pay a price like that save for a product of very great worth to human ity
 Before making this purchase, we tested Liquozone for two years through physicians and hospitals fin this country and others. We tried it in all kinds of germ diseases, in thousands of the most difficult cases obtainable. We saw 1t cure hundreds of sick ones with whom everything else had failed. And we saw many a patient brought back from the verge of the grave by 1t.
 We proved, to the satisfaction of the best physicians. that in germ troubles Liquozone did what nothing else could accomplish. We proved 1t to be of more value to sick humanity than all the drugs in the world combined. Then we staked our fortunes and our reputa- tions on 1t.
 Every member of this Company uses Liquozone daily in his family to pre- vent sickness. and millions of others are learning to do likewise. Llquo- zone is now employed hy hospitals everywhere. and by the physicians of nearly every nation.

Thousands of women of every age and condition break down and are brought to the very verge of utter col lapse because they have kidney trouble and do not know 1t. It saps vitality shatters nerves--makes work or rest or sleep impossible.
 Many a sufferer takes medicine for imaginary female complaints' until she is utterly discouraged and much worse. And yet it is so easy to tell when the kidneys are sick, and so easy to cure them with the right sort of treatment.
 Prolonged neglect means diabetes or Bright's Disease.
 How many apparently healthy women there are who begin to find household work a burden; who are constantly 'all-tired-out." irritable and depressed, and who suffer often from sick. dizzy headaches. pain in the back and sides. rheumatism and irregular flow of the urine.
 They are always ailing. but not sick enough to go to bed, and they wait for the spells to pass away.
 But the cause is still there. The kidneys are sick, and work only aggra- yates the trouble.
 The kidneys have in some way be- come congested, irritated, or infiamed and are failing to remove the uric acid

when you find a negro who begins to sing and hollow as soon as he benda over the row you may know thereby that you have good hand. The ne- gro as a rule works by music. In no other line of activity is the fact SO noticeable as in the cotton patch. Here is where the negro must sing If he would meet with any satisfactory meas ure of success. Ot is no loud, discor- dant bowling, either. It Is music, tho like of which you can not hear at any other place, or under any other circum stances, a low. soft hum, delicately in- toned, rythmic. mellow, soothing, and all the while the negro's body swings to and fro over the cotton row as he pulls with his nimble fingers the long white locks from the boil.
 T have known a great many cotton planters who would not hire a negro cotton picker unless he was satisfied that the negro sang as he worked. It Is a curious thing that pickers of this type have more time for the humorous bantering and jawing, so common among his class, than the men who work in silence.
 The singing negro does not work as hard, as a matter of fact, as the silent negro. It is because he works more rapidly. The song he sings seems to make the machinery run more smooth ly and so he accomplishes more in the end than the quiet fellow, and has some time for the foolish talk of the cotton patch besides"

and other poisons from the blood. These poisons are attacking the nerves. muscles, and vital organs.
 Get at the root of the trouble and cure the kidneys. Use a medicine in- tended for the kidneys only--Doan's Kidney Pills. The remedy quickly re- lieves the tired-out -Kidneys-gives them new life and energy. The poisons disappear from the blood, and pains, aches, and nervousness vanish.
 The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills in your own city prove this. Read the testimony of a resident, perhaps your neighbor.
 Mrs. Mary Smith, of IF Chandler Street. says: 'I am pleased to say that Doan's Kidney Pills which pro- cured at E. G. Fowler's drug store 10 Dexter Ave, cured me of a trouble from which I had suffered for some tfme The pain in the small of the back was very noticeable if sat still any length of time or stopped or lifted anything. I suffered much from sleep lessness and arose in the morning feel ing as tired and unrefreshed as I did the night before"

Kills all Germs.

Another fact Is that an excess ot oxygen destroys any disease germ. The reason Is that germs are vegetables; and an excess of oxygen-the very life of an animal-is deadly to vegetable matter.
 So witt, Liquozone. but the vital difference is this: Oxygen is q gas, and an excess of 1t cannot be main tained in the blood. Liquozone is a liquid. concentrated, stable and power ful. It goes wherever the blood goes; and, as no germ can escape 1t. and none can resist it. the results are inevitable.
 To the human body Liquozone Is the most helpful thing in the world. But anything vegetable instantly perlshes wherever Liquozone goes. The fact that germs are vegetables has enabled the discoverers of Iiquozone to solve the great problem of killing germs in the body without killing the tissues. too And there Is no other way. Any drug that kills germs is a poison. and 1t cannot be taken internally. In that fact lies the great value of Liquozone. It is the only product known-the only product man can conceive of-that can destroy the cause of a germ trouble without harm to the living tissues.

 But we went. We were asked to come early so that might have drive in Central Park before dinner got the drive. but didn't see very much of the park, because my host and hostess insisted upon taking such superfine care of me. The day was in- tensely su1try, anl it looked as if 1t might pour down any minute Conse- cuently my hostess insisted that should have laprobe. and over that she tucked a rubber cloth, and I nearly smothered. Of course. it did not rain. To add to my discomfort, just before we started out my sister whispered:

Not Medicine.

Liquozone Is not a medicine It is @ot made by compounding drugs, no~ w there any alcohol in it. It is made Solely from gas-largefy from oxygen gas-by a process requiring immense apparatus and 14 days time.
 This product has. for more than 20 years, been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research. The object of its discoverers was to get the virtues of oxygen in stable form into the blood. Their reason was that oxy- gen alone can kill disease germs with out harm to the living tissues.
 Each cubic inch of Liquozone re- qulres the use of 1,250 cubic inches of the gas. And that is all that goes into it-the gas, and the liquid used to ab- sorb it. The result-after IA days-is a germicide so certain that We publish on every bottle an offer of $1.000 for a disease germ that it cannot kill.

Germ DiSea.reS.

We give here a list of the known germ diseases. Each of these diseases Is caused by germ attacks, or by poi sons which germs create. A cure can come only through killing the germs.
 All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and those results are indirect and uncertain. They depend on the patients condition. There are some of these diseases which medicine never cures. Tn all of them, the results from drugs are doubtful and slow Medicine

Is not proper treatment for any form of germ attack.
 Liquozone goes directly to the cause of these troubles. It attacks the germs. wherever they exist. A germ disease must end when the germs are killed; nothing is more contain than that Then Liquozone, acting as a tonic. quickly repairs the damage done and restores a condition of perfect health. Diseases which have resisted medicine for years yields at once to Liquozone. And 1t cures diseases which medicine never cures. In any stage of any disease in this list. the results are so certain that we will gladly send to any patient who asks 1t an absolute guaranty.

Acts Like Oxygen.

The virtue of Liquozone lies in the fact that 1t does what oxygen does. Oxygen Is the vital part of air. the very source of vitality, the most essential element of life. Oxygen is also Ma lures greatest tonic. the blood food, the nerve food. the scavenger of the blood. It is oxygen that turns the blue blood to red in the lungs. It is oxygen that eliminates the waste tissue and builds up the new You could not live three minutes without 1t. And half the sickness In the world Is caused by having too little.

4 grotesque story of superstition comes from the Pennsylvania village of Renschor, which this year has suffered severely from drought. A whisper getting abroad that this was due to the spell cast over the place by late res ident named Bordas, who had been dead several weeks. the inhabitants, acting on the advice of the soothsayer of a neighboring village, exhumed the body at midnight and, with many incanta- tions, hurled the body from one to an- other on pitchforks, at the same time violently restraining from intervention the son of Bordas, who besought them to desist. All concerned in the oSt- rage have been arrested. and this time an example is to be made.

 Fast fin Silence.
 New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 The champion negro cotton picker of Texas who can pull bale of cotton from the bolls in two days must be a good singer" said a man who spent his early life on the farm. "else he could not pick that much cotton in so short a time. A report from the Wax ahachie district says his best days work this year was S44 pounds That's pretty good cotton picking. I dare say he sung a few lines while he was reaching for this record. No negro can pick cotton without singing. Whenever you see a negro pulling his sack up and down cotton rows in si- fence. you can bet he Is not doing much picking. He may get out of the field with 175, or maybe 900 pounds, but he will not set the world on fire as a picker o& the staple.
