Bennett, widow of the testator, from
Mr.. Bryan's appeal from the probate
courts decision.
The other decision overrules a mo-
ton by counsel for Mrs. Bennett and

condition the hospital authorities re-
ported him as having passed an easy
NIGHT and on the road to recovery.

The greatest value of Liquozone lies
in the fact that it kills germs in the
body without killing the tissues, too.
And no man knows another way to do
It. Any drug that kills germs is a
poison, and it cannot be taken inter
nally. Medicine is almost helpless in
any germ disease, as every physician
knows.

more than all the drugs in the world

accomplish without it. 1t cures dis
