What Liduozone Is.

Liquozone rs product now used
the world over in the treatment OF
germ diseases. In millions of homes
It has done, and is doing, what medi-
cine cannot do.
The virtues of Liquozone are de-
rived solely from gas-largely oxygen
gas. No drugs, no alcohol-nothing
but gas enters into it. The process
of making takes. fourteen days, and
requires immense apparatus. Then
we get one cubic inch of Liquozone
for each 1850 cubic inches of gas used.
This process has, for more than
twenty years, been the constant sub
ject of scientific and chemical re-
search.
The result is gcrmicide so certain
that we publish on every bottle an
offer of $1,000 for disease germ that
it cannot kill Yet it is not only harm
less, but remarkably helpful. The eff
fects are exhilarating, vitalizing, puri-
fyin.. Even well person feels its in

LONDON, March 21.-Russian off,
cial circles in London, although with
out official confirmation. are inclined
to credit a Harbin story published in
Paris connecting the firing reported
to have been heard yesterday morning
about seven miles south OF Tie Pass
with General Rennenkampff's divi-
sion. A dispatch from Harbin points
out that the only explanation of a
cannonade in that locality is that Rem
nenkampff has at length arrived at
Tie Pass, where the Russian armies
were ordered to rendezvous in case of
retreat, but only to find the place
occupied by the Japanese. Conse-
quently it is feared that Rem
nenkampff is surrounded.
