during the day and the couple skated
into the open water. E.efore they real
lied what had happened, Miss Hayes
was completely immersed, and Mr.. Nc
Dowell was in the water up to his neck,
having grasped some firm ice as he
went down. His companion came
to the surface. but in a dazed condition
and evidently helpless. The young man
succeeded in helping her to the edge
of the firm ice and was about to lift
her out Of the water when the ice gave
way under their weight and the young
lady went down again. Mr.. Mcdowell
finally succeeded in rescuing her and
extricating himself before help ar
rived. The young lady was uncon-
scious for several hours, the experience
proving a severe nervous strain. On
examination, an abrasion Of the scalp
was found. 1t is the supposition that
her head struck the ice, causing a
lapse Of consciousness that explains
her apparent helplelssness while in the
water. Both have since recovered with
apparently few i'll effects.

Millions Of people, of nine different
nations, are constant users of L1quo-
zone. Some are using it to get we'll;
some to keep we'll. Some to cure
germ diseases; some as tonic. NO
medicine was ever SO widely employed.
These users are everywhere; your
neighbors and friends are among them.
And half the people you meet-wher-
ever you are-know someone whom
Liquozone has cured.
If you need help, please ask some OF
these users what Liquozone does.
Don't blindly take medicine for what
medicine cannot do. Drugs never kill
germs. For your own sake, ask about

Its effects are exhilarating, vitalizing,
purifying. Yet 1t is q germicide SO
certain that we publish on every bot
tie an offer of $1,000 for q disease
germ that it cannot kill. The reason
is that germs are vegetables; and
Liquozone-like an excess Of oxygen
is deadly to vegetal matter.
There lies the great value Of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs In the body without killing the
tissue, too. Any drug that kills germs
is a poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Every physician knows that
medicine is almost helpless In any
germ disease.
