We Paid 100000

For the American rights to Liquo-
zone and the rights in other countries
have sold for proportionate sums. We
mention this fact to indicate the value
of Liquozone-the value to you. Men
have never been paid such a price for
any discovery used in the cure of sick
ness.
We need not tell you that we proved
Liquozone we'll before buying it. For
years it was tested through physicians
and hospitals, in this country and 9TH
ers. 1t was employed in every stage
of every germ disease; in all the most
difficult cases obtainable. With thou
sands of sick ones, considered incur
able, we proved that it did what medi-
cine could not do. Then, and then
only, did we pay the price.
Since then we have spent nearly
50 100000 to make Liquozone known.
We have bought the first bottle and
given it free to every sick one we
learned of. These people told others.
and the others told others. The result
is that Liquozone is now more widely
employed than any medicine ever was.
And no one can doubt that II is doing
more for sick humanity than all the
drugs in use combined.

We judge from our records that one
home in five, the country over. has
someone whom Liquozone has cured.
Some have been cured of little ills;
some know that their lives have been
saved by it.
These homes are scattered every
where. Your neighbors and friends
live in some of them. If you will only
ask about Liquozone there are plenty
to tell you about it. 1t is wrong to
stay sick with a germ disease while
millions know that Liquozone can
cure it.
And any silk one anywhere may
try it at our expense. We will gladly
buy the first bottle-a SOC bottle-and
give it to any sick one free. You don't
need to rely on those who were cured
by it. You may test it, without a
penny of cost, for yourself.
Won't you-for your own sake-do
one or the other? Won't you let your
friends tell you how it cured them,
and how 1t constantly keeps them Well?
Or, won't you let us buy you a bottle
and see what it does for you?

SAN BERNARDIN0 LOOKS
FOR WARM CAMP AIGN
Contest Will Be Fought Out on Liquor
Question Rather Than on
Party Lines
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 1O.-There
are prospects that the spring campaign
here will be the hottest municipal bat
tie this city has seen for many years.
1t is doubtful whether the election will
be fought out on party lines, as the
sentiment of the city is lining up with
the liquor element and against it. The
citizens movement, which proposes to
regulate the saloon interests of the city
little more closely than is now done,
is gathering great strength, being
backed by prominent men in both par
ties, by the financial interests of the
city and the church element.
The saloon men, fearing that their
business will be interfered with should
the citizens movement carry, are or
ganizing for the campaign and it Is
probable that large sums of money will
be spent in the campaign. A meeting
of the saloon men was held last night,
to effect an organization. The meeting
was largely attended by the liquor
men, but the utmost secrecy is main
tained as to what took place.
The Arrowhead club is but a men,
ory. For many years it was notable
factor in the social life of the town,
but the last two or three years has
been on gradual decline and recently
it was moved to smaller quarters. The
Death of Attorney e. r. Annable re-
Gently was the last straw. He was one
of the leading lights and most en-
thusiastic member, but with him gone
the CLUB died a natural death.
The wedding journey of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Corbalay was little inter-
rupted by the runaway team that was
to take them across the valley to Red
lands. Just as they were about to
enter the carriage the team took fright
and ran. 1t was gone all night and
was caught the next morning on the
Base Line road, having Travelled all
night with no damage to the rig.

How Liquozone Cures

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 II cannot be taken inter-
nally. For that reason. medicine is al
most helpless i'm any germ disease.
Liquozone is a germicide so certain
that we publish ON every bottle an Of
fer OF $1,000 for a disease germ that It
cannot kill Yet II is not only harm-
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-11
Germ Diseases

These are the known germ diseases;
all due to germs or to the poisons
which germs create. These are the
diseases to which medicine does not
apply, for drugs cannot kill inside
germs.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to act as a tonic, aiding
Nature to overcome the germs. But
those results are indirect and uncer-
tain, depending on the patients condi-
tion. A cure is always doubtful when
drugs are used, and some of these dis
eases medicine never cures.
Liquozone alone can destroy the
cause of these troubles. 1t goes wher-
ever the blood goes, so that no germ
can escape 1t. The results are almost
inevitable. Diseases which have re-
sisted medicine for years yield at once
to Liquozone. "Incurable" diseases are
cured by 1t. In any stage of any dis
ease i'm this list the results are so GER
tain that we will gldaly send to any
patient who asks it an absolute guar
anty.

than anything else in the world for
you. No one is so we'll that he cannot
be helped by it.
The reason is that germs are vege-
tables; and Liquozone-like an excess
of oXygen-is deadly to vegetal mat
ter. To the human body Liquozone is
exhilarating, vitalizing, purifying-the
most needful, the most helpful thing
possible. But to germs it is centain

Hoch Becomes Detected

AT the inquest Hoch sat at the head
of long table. The good humor that
marked him upon his arrival had de-
parted. He sat in a detected attitude
with eyes downcast, rarely looking up.
Hoch was positively identified today
by Henry Ness of Cincinnati, O., as
a man who, under the name of Henry
F. Hartman, was married there July
20, 1897.
This is a new case, Mrs. Hartman
never having appeared before in the
list of wives.
Hoch was taken to the bureau of
identifications to be photographed and
measured as a confessed criminal.
Police Inspector Shippy said today
that Johann Hoch had named the
tenth woman whom Hoch admits having
mar led. She was Mrs. Henry Bartell
of Cincinnati. In marrying her Hoch
said that he had used the name of
John Schmidt" Hoch was the CEN
trail figure today at the inquest over
the death of Mrs. Marie Welker Hoch,
the last of the long list of deceased
wives The prisoner was suave and
smiling when he faced the inquisitors.
Two photographs of Hoch sent to
Germany by the police officials have
been returned with the information
that they are pictures of Jacob
Schmidt, who formerly lived at Bin
gen, Germany.
At the coroner's inquest today as
Hoch entered the room, he looked
neither to the right nor to the left but
walked to a seat apparently without
seeing three of his alleged former wives
who sat in front of him.

SEX AND AGE IN THE CENSUS.
More Men Than Women in the United
States, But the Women Live
Longer.


Men are in the majority in the Unit
ed States to the extent OF ZIG in each
ten thousand of the population, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued by the
census bureau. In 1890 the excess OF
males was 242. The divisions OF con-
tinental United States with the small
est proportion of males are the Dis
trict of Columbia C474 per cent?,
Massachusetts (487 per cent?, and
Rhode Island (49,1 per cent?; those
with the largest are Wyoming 1929
per cent?, and Montana (61.1 per
cent?. A curious divergence OF sexes
appears in the returns for cities and
country districts In the cities having
a population of $500 or more in 1890
there were 1929 more males than fe-
males; in 1900 this proportion had
been reversed and the females in cit
les of this size were 201,959 in ex-
cess. AS against this change the ex-
cess of 1,519,559 males in country dis
+ricts in 1890 became an excess OF
1,840, 280 in 1900. Among the Negroes
there are few more females than
males; among the Indians few more
males than females About five
ninths of the immigrants are males.
The excess of males in the total
population is offset to some extent by
the longer age of females. In the pc
riod from 83 years of age to the end
of life the absolute number Of females
is larger than that of males, and also
in the period from 16 to rs, although
she census experts ascribe the latter
superiority to falsifed returns rather
than to an absolute majority The
death rate of males in the registration
area in 1900 was 10 per thousand and
that of females was 1876. The differ
ence in the death rate is least be-
tween the ages of 5 and II, and great
est at the extremes of life. There is
period between the ages of and
81 when the death rate Of females is
in excess of that of males. In spite
of the fact that four-fftns of the
childbirths occur between the ages of
20 and 3d. the death rate of women at
that time is smaller than that of men,
In 1900 the median age the age which
exactly divides the total population,
was 22.85 years, an increase Of nearly
seven years in the last century. The
productive age-group in the United
States, that part of the population be-
tween Is and Co. comprises nearly
three-ffths of the population, larger
proportion than is to be found in most
European countries. Nearly one
fourth of the population is less than
ten years of age.
