Then we gave the product away
gave millions of bottles, one to each
of millions of sick ones.
We have published no testimonials;
no evidence of cures. We have never
asked a soul to buy it.
Our method has been to buy the
first bottle ourselves; to let the sick
try It without the cost Of a penny. to
let the product itself prove its power.
Most of you know the result. There
is no neighborhOod-no hamlet so re-
mote-bUt knows some wonders which
Liquozone has wrought.
And LiquozOne is probably doing
more to cure sickness, and to prevent

bined.
How petty is that self-interest
which would have you go back to the
old methods-tO the days before
LiquozOne! Back to the time when
the very cause of disease was un-
known. or when no one knew how to

IS KlMMEL DEAD?
Insurance Companies Think Arkansas
City Cashier Alive.

St. Louis. April s.-Nearly seven
years ago. or to be more exact. on
July 80, 1898. George A. KimmeI. cash
Ter of the Farmers State bank of
Arkansas City, Kan, disappeared from
tbs Midland hotel in Kansas City, be-
ing last seen in the evening.
From that day to the present there
has been no trace OF his wherea bouts,
though every effort was made to locate
him. At the time all Kansas was
stirred Up over the case, as Kimmel
was one of the best known men in
the southwestern part of the state.
Interest is now revived in the case
through papers which will be filed in
the United States court in st. Louis
today in a suit which involves $25, 900
insurance on the life of Kimmel
The suit is that Of the receiver of
the First National bank of Niles, Mich,
a concern in which the missing man
was involved in more ways than one.
The basis for the suit. which is against
the New York Life Insurance com
pany, is that KimmeI has been so long
missing that it is a legal presumption
that he is dead.
At the time of his disappearance
KimmeI was said to have been a man
of high moral standing, of excellent
habits and well off in this worlds
goods. He was single and had no
entanglements that could be given as
a cause why he would so suddenly
drop out of sight and be as completely
swallowed Up as though he had buried

himself in the sea. At the time his
books and accounts with the bank
were said to have been in perfect con-
dition.
The newspapers of the whole coun-
try were filed with the story at the
time, and the Pinkerton detective
agency was employed to locate him.
Circulars with his description and pic
ture, were sent broadcast through the
country and to many foreign places.
But no trace of Kimmel was found.
Not scrap of a letter from him. not
a single clew showed where he went
or what had become of him.
Finally the matter was forgotten,
as all such affairs are, until six months
ago the suit against the insurance com
pany was brought.
With SIS, 900 at stake, the insurance
company then entered into the matter
and began to look up KimmeIs record,
with results which have not hitherto
been public property.
The policies on KimmePs life were
taken out during the March previous
to his disappearance and were payable
to Kimmel's sister, one of them being
afterward assigned to the First Nation
al bank of Niles to secure debt which
was owed the bank by the sister
The president of the Niles bank, as
well as president of the Farmers State
bank at Arkansas City was Charles A.
Johnson, an uncle of the missing man.
Johnson is now serving a. sentence
in the penitentiary for wrecking the
Niles bank.
At the time of the fling of the suit
to recover on the policies. the insur-
ance company set out to disprove the
claim that, as there was no cause for
his disappearance, he must be dead.
Detectives were again employed, old
books and papers searched and de-

notice through the front door of the
coach when you see the conductor in

are IN, step inside the lavatory. and

not lock the door,
The conductor invariably enters
the coach, simply opens the door and
closes it without looking in. Be very

Santa Fe Replacing Structure De-
strOyed by Floods.
There will be no handsomer depot on
the Santa Fe road than the new Santa
Fe station which is to be built at Trini-
dad, Col, it is said. The station is to
be 102 feet long and A feet wide. It will
be built a little farther I'D toward the
hotel than was the old one and will be
two stories high. Beginning at the east
end of the station there will be first an.
express rooms baggage room, gentle
mans smoking and toilet room, the tick
ct Office, ladies' waiting and retiring
room, While the entire west end of the
structure is to be one big general wait
ing room, in the center of which a huge
column viii rise. Besides the ladies'
lavatory and toilet room there is to be
a retiring room where women can rest
without going to the hotel. The entire
building will be surmounted by a wide
pressed brick platform and the south
and west sides will have a broad cover
ed colorado which will extend to the
south door of the CardenaS porch, con-
Meeting with this and giving a covered
way for passengers from the train to
the hotel. The upper story Of the sta
ton is to be divided into six spacious
offices, three Of these to be occupied by
the commercial agent, the roadmaster
and the station agent, while the other
three will be held in reserve for future
demand.
The station will rest on foundation
built of crossed logs encased in cement,
which, will themselves be supported on
40 foot creosoted piling. A big steam
hammer is used in driving the piling.
There has already been about so driven
and in all the foundation will rest upon
about so of the big logs. The hammer is
a marvel of speed, driving one of the
big piling in about ten minutes from
the time the first lick is made at it.
The fill is entirely completed to the
river and it begins to look natural once
more. A few cars of dirt were put on
to level up and to allow for settling of
the under part, but the dirt has been
dumped pretty solidIy and there will be
very little settling.

Yet it is absolutely harmless to the
human body. Not only harmless, but
helpful in the extreme Even a well
person feels its instant benefit.
LiquozOne is the only way known to
kill germs in the body without killing
the tissues, too. Any drug that kills
germs is a poison, and it cannot be
given internally. Medicine is almost
helpless in dealing with inside germs.
But germs are vegetables; and Lii
quozone-the very life of an animals
deadly to vegetale matter. This fact
above all others-gives Liquozone its
value There is no other way to di-
rectly end the cause of any germ dis
ease.

But so great a good could not be
done to humanity without harmiRg
the interests of a. few.
The consumption of medicine has
immensely decreased. The popularity
Of the few physicians who cling solely
to drugs has diminished. And in nuns-
berless homes where Liquozone is in
daily use, sickness has been almost
banished.
These facts have injured some in
terests- And a few of the injured
to serve selfish interest-seeks to
disparage that which has done the
good.
The usual method is to insinuate
that LiquozOne itself is a medicine;
that, despite our claims. it is a com
pound OF acids and drugs.
Such statements are oft repeated.
and we cannot doubt that some are led
to believe them.

Before we bought the rights to
Liquozone. it had been tested for years
in thousands of the most difficult cases
obtainable. We found that diseases
which had resisted medicine for years
yielded at once to it. Sickness which
had been pronounced incurable was
cured.
The value of the product was
placed beyond possible question, be-
fore we staked our fortunes and reD71-
tations on it. It was amply proved
that, in germ troubles, Liquozone did
what medicine could not do.

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
Nearly all forms of all these diseases
have been traced to germs, or to
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 is to act as a tonic
aiding Nature to overcome the germs.
But those results are indirect and IN
certain The sick cannot afford to
rely on them. And no one needs 10
now.
LiGuozone alone can destroy the
cause of these troubles. It goes wher-
ever the blood goes, so no germ can
escape it. The results are almost in
evitable. We have seen them so often
in every disease in this list that we
have come to rely on them. Liquo-
zone has proved itself so certain that
in any stage of any of these diseases
we will gladly send to any patient
who asks it an absolute guaranty.
