This splendid river, when i'm
proved as an artery of commerce
reaching from the Panhandle of
Texas, will carry to and distrib-
ute from the Panama Canal an
annual tonnage of freight that is
almost beyond computation, and
will make every point passed by
this great stream "a common
point for freight rates. and it is
now the marvel of those who
have slightly investigated the
matter that such improvement
has been so long neglected. The
extent of the territory and the
mum Der of people to be benefited
is truly wonderful.
The United States Congress
will place the improvement of
this river under the supervision
of a separate engineering divi-
sion, with appropriations and
provisions for continued and per
manent improvements; and this
will include forestry protection
and conservation of water to pre-
vent overfows all along its upper
tributaries, to prevent the dis

FREE TO The SICK
Prominent Physician Gives His Best
Prescriptions to Sick People
Without Charge.

Nearly all diseases or ailments are
caused primarily by poor circulation
Of the blood-no matter whether it is
the kidneys. or the heart, or the ston-
ach. or liver, or whatever organ may
be affectetpoor circulation IS the
primary cause
A famous physician. after years of
study and experiments. has finally dis
covered a remedy which if used In
connection with certain other we'll
known drugs, and mixed i'll correct
promotions. will cure the most stub
born ailments OF course the same in
gradients are not used IN all diseases,
and it would require too much space
here to give each prescription in de-
tail. but as there is one basic principle
involved in all disease, so there is one
basic remedy in all these prescrip-
tons. namely. Concentrated Lecto
COMPOUND. This remedy IS. as Its
name implies. a concentration of the
most valuable agents known to science
for stimulating the circulation. thus
striking at the root of the evil.
The doctor has arranged with the
manufacturers Of Concentrated Lccto
Compound to enclose with each pack
age of their preparation full series
Of his original prescriptions in detail,
so that any sick person will secure
free OF charge exactly the same for
rlula that the doctor would give If
one called at his office.
The prescriptions include separate
formulas for kidney and heart trou-
bles, stomach and bowel troubles. ma
laria and liver troubles, blood and skin
diseases, and if you get a One-ounce
bottle of Lecto at the drug store. usu-
ally sold at about 30 cents, you car
readily select the proper prescription
for your ailment and mix the medicine
yourself.

BEWARE OF PHYsIc.
Only Aggravates Stomach Trouble and
Never Cures. f

The trouble with most people who
have stomach trouble is that they 90
not like to take the time to get cured;
they overeat and then take physic,
which simply upsets the stomach.
While you can get relief from one or
two doses Of Mona stomach tablets.
it cannot be expected that a trouble
which has been coming on for years
can be cured in a day. Chronic and
long standing cases Of stomach
trouble need at least two or three
weeks treatment before the sick
headaches, dizzy spells. bloatins.
heart burn, constipation, nervousness
and other symptoms that directly re-
suit from Indigestion, are banished,
| never to return.
| Mona is far different from the
| usual digestives which have been
used in treating stomach troubles. 1t
is taken before each meal stimulating
the secretion of the digestive juices
and strengthening the whole system,
so that the stomach itself does the
work Of taking care Of the food which
is eaten. without distress or suffering.
| No discovery in medicine in recent
| years has been Of greater value than
| the prescription of Mi-o-na stomach
| tablets. 1t is today the acknowledged
| specific for the treatment Of stomach
| diseases, and is relied upon as a
| certainty in relieving the worst cases
of indigestion and malassimilation,
and making a complete cure.
The strongest proof that can De
given in support of the claim that
Mi-o-na will cure the worst form of
stomach trouble Cancer excepted)
and relieve the worst case of acute
Indigestion, is the guarantee Bowditch.
Webster & Co give with every 50-cent
box Of Mi-o-na. to refund the money
unless Mi-o-na cures.
