Comparatively few people know what
a large amount of water the human
body consists Of. a man weighing 200
pounds is made up Of 100 pounds Of
water and 30 pounds of solids. The
latter includes bone, muscle, etc. Even
the fat of the body contains 10 per
cent of water, the liver il made up Of
60 per cent and the blood OF SO. The
skin contains ~ per cent, the brain 10
and the muscle 75.
1t may bc naturally supposed that u
fluid so universally distributed through
out the body must constitute very
important article of its existence. Ex-
periments have shown that on water
alone life may be sustained as long as
ffty-fve days, whereas II dry food
only were given death would ensue In
quarter of that time, and this In a
most agonizing way. The terrible ago
ny that shipwrcckel mariners some
times suffer in this way will induce
them TO drink sea water, ana this adds
a hundredfold 10 the uncomfortable
thirst that induces deiirlum and death

was referred to AMI the struggles and

yet not one diecGca onate word was

FELT HAND OPIHE MERGER
RETAIL GROCERS INDIGNANT
OVER THE ROADS REFUSAL TO
GRANT THEM USUAL REDUCED

Members Of the Retail Grocers and
general merchants association of
Minnesota are still worked up over
their treatment by the two merger
lines of road, which refused them
the usual reduced rates for the state
convention at Crookston. AS there
were no other lines reaching the town
the grocers were at the mercy of the
railroads They determined then that
they would see that future conven-
tions were held in towns which had
competitive railway lines. The as
ISOLATION went on record In strong res
olutions, which were referred to in
the press accounts Of the meeting, but
have never been published in full.
They were recommended for passage
by the resolutions committee, and
adopted Feb. II. They read as fol-
lows: ..-.--sr, s.-e- -..-..-."
h Whereas, The members of this associa-
ton have heretofore been granted sub
stantial reductions of fares when attend
ing our conventions held in the southern
and central portions of the state; and
whereas, like concessions were refused
by the roads over which we were COM
PEELED to travel to reach the present place
of meeting in the northern part, which
act we attribute to the fact that they
are in the hands Of one party and are
jointly operated; therefore. be it
Resolved, That any scheme whereby
the people who are building up the state
are compelled to pay for the privilege Of
merging railway corporations is a menace
to- the best interests of the state. 1t re-
suits in unjust discrimination between one
part Of the state and another, not only az

communities affected thereby. The un
fairness and danger to be apprehendec

A Human Life Line

If all the people who have been
cured by Vernal Palmettona CORNER
" known as Vernal Saw Palmetto Ber-
ry Wine), were lined up in single file,
two feet apart, the line beginning at
Buffalo. would extend for miles and
miles, far out toward the west. In
this line would be found men, women
and children, representing every vOca-
ton In life. Most of them were in
bad shape physically when they be-
sgan to take Vernal Palmettona.
Some Of them owe their very lives to
1t. If you were to talk to them, they
would give full credit to this great
xonic laxative remedy. Some Of them
went way on up into middle life. some
pf them even to old age, before they
began taking our cure.
IF had only taken Vernal Pal-
mettona sooner" is the regret OF
many who realize that they might
have been saved years of suffering.
DO not let this be your experience.
indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia
and all other diseases Of the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels are
relieved quickly and eventually cured
permanently by Vernal Palmettona.
Only one dose a day does the work.
1t is done gently, yet thoroughly
This is in direct contrast with harsh
ourgatives and cathartics. which are
positively harmful. Many people are
skeptical about a medicine with which
they are unfamiliar. Maybe you are
one Of them. We don't blame you. 1t
is common sense. We plainly print
the guaranteed formula on every pack

will send you postpaid a free sample.
