HISTORY OF
FOER G'S REM 6 DY
WHY BT CURES.

Over ten years ago Phil Foerg of
Princeton, KY, made q study of specific"
blood poison and began to perfect rem.
edy for the cure of same. Believing in
Natures cures, he went out into the
woods and gathered such roots and herbs
as he believed were necessary.
After four years of experimenting In
this way he perfected this remedy. Be.
ing man of means he gave the rem
edy away to all who needed it in order
to test Thoroughly the results arising from
its use. He found in this way that it
would absolutely cure all cases Of blood
poisoning that came under his notice.
A few years ago he started placing
It on the market in very small way.
at his death about q year and half
ago. a he willed the formula to Mr.. Hugh
Nlayes; and notwithstanding the fact that
up to the present time there had never
been a penny spent in advertising this
remedy. the sale Of it grew to sucl. enor.
nous proportions simply from one user
telling others about its wonderful results,
that last year the business on this rem
edy came from thirty-three different
states and territories. The demand be-
came so great that Mr.. Mayes sold the
formula to the Foerg Remedy Co., of
which company he Is secretary, treasurer
apd general manager. and the remedy is
now being prepared under his personal su-
pervision. The formula has been sub
mitted to eminent. chemists and they re.
port that they have never seen a remedy
that contained purer or better ingredients.
Being absolutely free from mercury or
any minerals nnd being purely vegetable,
1t cures without any of the terrible after
results usually arising from mercurial
treatments.
On account of the peculiar herbs, ETC.,
used In Its preparation, the cost of man
ufacture Is probably four times as great
as any other bIoOtl remedy on the market.
In the last five years there has not been
q single case of blood poisoning that has
not succumbed to Foerg Remedy.

to perfectly purify the blood of this
deadly poison.
The secondary stage begins generally
with a slight fever. with breaking out
on various parts of the body, and with q
rash usually resembling measles, but in
a more scattered form. Then little white
cnnkerous sores will appear in the mouth
and on the tongue.
The patient will have become by this
time human poison-tank.
The bones themselves will next be at
tackled. The patient will be complaining
or sharp, torturing pains ali over the

There may be severe headache. the hair
and eyebrows will begin to full out in

running sores, presenting Ioathsome
and disgusting sight.

The Value Of Learning to Knit.

Fifty years ago every woman and
girl was taught to knit as part Of her
education. Now, however, compare
lively few are taking up knitting need

Young women should become expert
knittors not because they cannot buy
many things as cheaply as they can
produce them, but with view Of that
faroff day which is certain to come in
time-the day of old age. To the
brightest girl there may fifty years

THE GREATEST DOZEN.
w. E. Curtis Names Twelve Men Who
Lead In Human History.

William Z. Curtis writes in the
Chicago Record Herald: Itis very diff
cult to answer an inquiry I have re.
ceived from Catherine Bryne Of Epgle-
wood, who asks me to name the twelve
most eminent men in humen history,
not including those mentioned in the
Bible; and she asks particularly how
many Americans should be inoluded
in that number. On such question
there would be wide difference Of
opinion. People estimate eminenoe,
influence and mental aud moral stat
ure by different rules Of measurement.
and probably if this inquiry were sub
mitted to q hundred judges few Of
them would agree as to all Of the
names that should be included in the
list. In my opinion, the ouly way to
determine mans greatness is by
measuring the influence he has exert
ed upon the affairs Of mankind; and
in selecting the twelve men who have
been most conspicuous in that direo-
tion we must frat include the found
ers Of the great religions, who during
the present day guide and control she
conduct Of hundreds OF millions OF
the worlds inhabitants.

the highest source Of qualification to
the Buddhist believers that no drop
of blood was ever shed in the propa-

Alfred the Great Of England

! before Charlemange, but is placed
atser him because he lived hundred
years later. He vas the founder of
Law courts, trial by jury and first over
threw the doctrine that might makes

human beings up to his reign. He
was the first to establish in practi-
cal manner the principle that rea-
son should be more respected than
force. Alfred the Great was also the
founder Of the modern system of edu-
cation.
8. George Washington (l732 1899,
naturally comes next as the founder of
civil liberty.
We have four places to dispose of
and l should assign them to:
8. Napoleon Bonaparte (1769- 1921,
the greatest of soldiers.
SO. Michael Angely 1475 1859, the
greatest Of architects, artists and
sculptors.
IL. William Shakespeare (l475.16l6)

Twelve years ago Mr.. John M. Jones
OF Caldwell county, Ky. began to suffer
from terrible sores on his arms as the
result of blood poisoning, and in a short
time on his left arm seventeen running
sores deveioped between the hand and
the elbow. These were very painful and
gsry offensive. incapacitating hiln entirely
for work. The pain was so severe that
he could not sleep without. elevating his
arm on q pillow. -.
After undergoing excruciating torture
for years, and treating with the best ply
sicians, he went to Nashville, Tenn, and
underwent course of treatment with n
specialist. This was all unavailing and
finally the matter was submitted to n
consultation of doctors and they decided
that the only way to save his life was by
amputating the arm.
= At the time he arrived in, the city to
nave this operation performed. Mr.. Jones
happened to meet Mr.. Hugh Mayes who
was then the proprietor of Toerg's Rem
edy. Mr.. Mnyes became Immediately in
terested in the case and proposed to AR.
Jones that he would furnish him with
Eoerg,s is Remedy absolutely free SO that he
might give it good trial and perhaps in
his way save his arm. Mr.. Jones nc

hold simply by kissing it; parents may
infect their children, husband their wives
and friends their associates.
COURSE OF TIE DISEASE.
For the first few weeks after the victim
has become infected, he will notice moth
ing unusual, and his health will be ap-
parently undisturbed. This is called
the period of incubation, during which
time no symptoms whatever will appear.
Nevertheless during this time, the dis
ease is quickly ripening, gathering force
and viruaence, ready to burst out in all
it's terrors within few weeks.
FIRST STAGE.
The. first symptom OF specific blood
poisoning appears at the place where the
poison first ehtored the system, on the
mouth or tongue, around the finger nails,
or any other part Of the body, depending
entirely on the source Of infection.
These sores have n peculiar hardness
surrounding and underlining the scab.
Sometimes, however, the only evidences
of the primary infection are fine pmples
at the point of incubation.
" In about q month or less time, the
glands nearest to the sore will enlarge,
become hard and sometimes break.
SECONDARY STAGE.
From two weeks to two months after
the appearance of the first sore, tho
symptoms of tine secondary stage will
appear.
Right here let us say that because the
primary sore has been healed either by
the use of cnustics or by nature itself,
it is no proof that the disease is not
still in the system.

He says that he had II running sores on

that they were Of II years duration, very
painful and very offensive: that he could
not sleep for pain, and for many years
when Lie did sleep he would have to ele-

purpose of submitting to an operation by
having his arm amputated, that being the
only hope as held out by the best ply

heart failed him and he refused TO have
the operation performed, saying he would
