Drugless Treatment Restores Health While You Sleep

Here's a remedy that cures while
you sleep. No poisonous drugs to
swallow. No weak stomach or di-
gestive troubles due to dragging.
This remedy is Natures medicine
electricity
The only way TO cure anything
is to help Nature Nature will cure
when she has the power. That
power is electricity. Feed it to
your nerves and they will absorb
and carry it to every organ and
tissue of the body. where it gives
health and vim to every aiIing
part.
The reason drugs don't cure is
because they do not assist Nature.
Nature needs nourishment. strength,
something that builds up. Drugs
contain no nourishment, no cleo
tricity, not one thing that builds
vitality-just poison that tears
down.
My way is the best way of ap-
plying electricity. It's the only
method that has proven successful.
I've had 20 years experience in
treating disease with electricity
and 1 know more about it than any
other doctor on earth Ny Electra
Vita is the result of this 20 years
experience.

ment area northeast of the valley is
very slight and the run off is corre-
spondingly low. The mountains are
very precipitous and furnish in all
probability very small amount of run
off to the ground waters of the valley
In 1904 two lines of test wells were
sunk across the Mesilla valley, one
at right angles and the other parallel
to the general direction of the river.
The test wells were cased with 4 inch
pipe and were provided at the lower
end with a common brass Jacket well
point. The wells are on the average
of one-half mile apart and were sunk
deep enough for the STEAMERS TO be
completely covered with water at all
times The wells showed the water
plane to be nearly horizontal in an
east-west direction, but near the river
it was somewhat higher than at the
east end Of the line of test wells, al
though the surface slopes gently in
the opposite direction. On an average
the water plane in the east-west cross
section slopes about 0.4 foot per mile
toward the east end. The ground wa
ter flows in the general direction OF
the river valley, the gradient of the
water plane is asa feet per mile and
the real velocity Of the ground water
is low.
TESTS III Lbs OEuccS
In October, 1904, the Rio Grande at
Las Cruces was the highest in ten years.
On October 1 the water in the test wells
was 04 foot higher than on September
10: on October 1.6 foot niger than
on October !. The total rise in the.
well located GA mile from the river
was substantially five feet. The effect
of the river could be traced at least
two miles from its east bank The
observations of the test wells show that
the ground waters in the Mesilla valley
originate in the flood waters of the
river. The high floods in the river
were accompanied by rainfall on the
mountains and mesa to the north ana
east of Las Cruces, and a sufficient
amount of water penetrated the ground
to cause the elevation Of the water
plane.

A HEN will turn her eggs once a
"A day, sometimes twice a day.
L \ The temperature in the incu-
bator has been observed to fall during
the first days of incubation and to rise
toward the end. The variation in tenn
perature is proportional to the number
of eggs in the incubator. The rise is
due to the animal heat generated by
the developing embryos; to the increas-
ed production of carbon 6ioxid by
chemical action. The production of
carbon dioxid increases as incubation
progresses.
Covering the Eggs.
AS far back as the time of the an
cient Egyptians, it was noticed that
the supply of heat had to be diminished
as incubation progressed. The hen
does not cover her eggs as closely at
the end as at the beginning of incu-
baton.
In 1872 and again in 1881, expert
ments showed that the egg absorbed
heat instead of giving it off during the
first days of incubation. 1t was OBJ
served that infertile eggs cooled more
rapidly than fertile ones raised to the
same temperature during the early
stages of incubation
In Egypt it was learned that no
heat is given off by ostrich eggs dur

was produced.
Dareste concluded that the chemical
action that occurs in eggs during the
period of incubation, produces and alb
serbs heat at the same time, and that
after the first days the exothermic be-
comes predonderant.
Egg Germs Die From Heat.

perature is allowed to reach Ill de-
grees F., and 50 degrees F. is the mini

slowly, and stops before the heat or
vascular area forms. Consequently If
eggs be left in warm places, develop
ment will begin and then cease. If the
egg be opened several days after this
has happened decomposition may al
ready have destroyed the embryo. The

sents a clear place az its center where

Plants roo Large.


With a few excetions, the pumping
plants in the Mesilla valley are entirely
too, large for the wells, or the wells
are TOO small for the pumps and en-
gines. It will be seen by consulting
the table that the lift of many of the
plants can be considerably decreased by
increasing the amount of strainer sur
face in the wells. In most cases this
will make necessary the sinking Of
additional wells, as the strainer sur
face cannot be otherwise sufficiently
increased. The necessity of keeping
the lift of the pump down 70 a mini
mum is greatly emphasized in irriga-
ton plants, and large strainer surface
is the first requisite.
