What is the reason for this over

mand which requires four laboratories,

1t is simply this: Liquozone does what
nothing else in the world can accom-
plish. No other product can compare
with it as vitalizer and tonic Moth
ing else known can destroy the cause OF
any germ disease
You who are sick with germ troubles
must use it to get well. And you who
are well will eventually use it to keep
well, as we do. Nearly all sickness could
be prevented if Liquozone was used
every day. When these facts are known
the use of Liquozone will be. practically

What Liquozone Is.

Liquozone is the result of process
which, for more than 20 years, has been
the constant subject Of scientific and
chemical research. 1t is made solely
from gas-gas made in large part from
the best oxygen producers. To make one
cubic inch of Liquozone requires 1880
cubic inches of the gas BY process
requiring immense apparatus and IA
days time the virtues of an enormous
volume of the gas are made part OF the
liquid product.
Liquozone is not made, like medicine.
by compromising drugs or acids; nor is
there any alcohol in it. It's virtues are
derived solely from the gas and its
power comes through the remarkable
copdapeo tion

OPERATION CUTS
CHIEF TRAIN DISPATCHER
L. w. Dorgan Uses Knife on Railroad
Official Who Reprimanded Him
for Being Drunk.

BAKERSFIELD, March 19.-J. H.
Sheridan, chief dispatcher for the
Southern Pacific Company, was cut on
the face this morning by T. w. Dor
gan, an operator in the office. The
cut is a deep one, extending from be-
low the ear to a point below the chin.
1t is not dangerous, but the victim will
be disfigured for life.
Dorgan reported this morning in an
intoxicated condition and Sheridan re-
lieved him from work, advising him to
go home. Enraged at this, Dorgan at
tackled his chief with knife. He has
not been arrested, Sheridan refusing
to prosecute him.

Acts Like Oxygen.

The value of Liquozone lies in the fact
that 1t does what oxygen does. Oxygen is
the vital part of air. 1t is Natures
greatest tonic the very source of vital
ity, the most essential element of life.
1t is oxygen that turns the blue blood to
red in the lungs. 1t is oxygen that elm
mates the waste tissue and builds up
the new. 1t is the blood food, the nerve
food, the scavenger of the blood In fact.
1t is life-so essential to every function
of nature that we could not live three

Then, by the advice Of the best scientists
we knew, we staked our fortunes and
our regulations on 1t.
We paid this price because Liquozone
