germicide so certain that we publish
with every bottle an offer of $1,000
for the discovery of disease germ
which Liquozone cannot kill.
Common germicides are poisons
which cannot be taken internally.
They destroy the tissues as well as
the germs. That is why medicine has
proved so helpless in dealing with
germ diseases.
Liquozone is not only harmless, but
it is tonic. Its effects are exhilarat-
ing, yitalizing, purifying. Its benefits
are quickly Approximation from the
very first dose.
The fact that Liquozone is so de.
structive to germs is attributed to the

In the Old Days

James Bryce in The American
Commonwealth, observes that up to
1880 or 1910 there were no great for
tunes in America, few large fortunes
and no poverty. But, writing OF the
later eighties, he says: Now there Is
some poverty, many large fortunes,
and greater number of gigantic for
tunes than in any other country in
the world. That was twenty years
ago! What would Mr.. Bryce say to-
day If he could read statistics show
ing that there are three million Of
ficially recognized paupers in the
United States? That million and a
half children between the ages of ten
and fifteen are employed in our mines
and factories? That .one person in
every twelve who die in New York
city is buried in the potter's field?
AS showing the rapid growth of
individual fortunes in this country
there is interest in list of rich men
printed by the New York Sun in 1855
according to which New York city at
that time boosted only twenty-eight
millionaires. And pamphlet pub
lished some years earlier says that in

brought it into wider fields.
Since then we have let every sick
one we learned of test it at our ex-
pense. The result is that millions have
learned by experience some things
that LiquoZone can do. Most of the
cured told others, and the others told
others. The result is that about 49,
100000 bottles of Liquozone have been
used, mostly in the past two years.
There is now almost no hamlet-nO

pies of its power.
Now other chemists and companies,
in alliance with us, are supplying it to
other nations. 1t is hoped, before
long, that every nook OF the world
where sickness exists will have Liquo-
zone there to combat It.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-02-01
What Liquozone Is.

The virtues of Liquozone are de-
rived solely from gases, created from
five substances, all of which are
stated on the bottle. These sub
stances include the best producers of
oxygen. sulphur dioxide and other
sermicidal gases.
The process of making requires
large apparatus, and from to IA
days time; and it is directed by chem
lists of the highest class. The object
is to so fix and combine the gases as
to carry their virtues into the system.
The result is blending of gas-made
products. each of which is now en-.
dorsed, as remedial agent, by the
worlds highest authorities.
The gases are harmless, and the
product they create is harmless. The
gases are beneficial, and the result is
n tonic. The gases are germieidai
aud uniting with the liquid multiplies
their germ-killing power.
Liquozone contains no alcohol. nc
opiates. no narcotics. Every virtue
comes from gas alone The invention
of Liquozone has meant way to util
ize gases In the treatment of germ
diseases.

The large number of baseball play

In which he was held by those with
whom he had been associated.

Matthew Mccoy, who was on the Will

mentioned yesterday.
Connie Mack and the deceased had
been friends for several years. In
talking to some Of the ball players,
Mack spoke Of FrysinRer as being an
able and shrewd manager and one who
had a bright future before him.
Mack denies that he has farmed
Harry Barton, the catcher, to the
Providence team. He will keep him
on his team next season.
Matthew Mccoy made many friends
here when he was playing with the
local club. He pitched the game
against Brandywine in Philadelphia

tsrday proved q decided novelty.
The star bout was between Billy Will
lie and Eddie Chambers. II was not
very hot till the last two rounds, when
both boys put considerable ginger into
their work and some fast exchanges
took place. Willis had a bloody nose
and looked pretty tired at the end of
the fifth, but be took a brace on the
sixth, and, sailing into Chambers,
landed on his jaw and dropped him to
the fioor. He was up at once and fin
ished out the round in hammer and
tones style, and il was about an even
break when thsy finished.
