WAS STOCKLEY
THE INVENTOR?
MAN WHO RECENTLY DIED IN
CALUMET SAID TO HAVE
SENT WIRELESS MES
SAGE IN 1866.

Ayers q. Stockley. who died recently
in Calumet. is believed to have been
the discoverer of wireless telcgri ply.
although credit for It's great develop
ment must be given TO others. 1t Is
claimed the first wireless message ever
transmitted was sent by stockley, a
d.''.hce f miles. shortly afts. ISss
the year In which the Atlantic Cable
was laid.
Concerning Mr. Stockley's utilization
of currents other than those carried by
wires, for the transmission Of mes
sagcs. Horace ]. Stevens says in his
1909 Copper Handbook:
Throughout the native copper dist
riot of Lake Superior there are puzzling
magnetic earth currents, these being
most marked on Isle Royale and near
Duluth. and the operations of the
mariners compass are such that navi-
cation is rendered somewhat difficult
and even dangerous at times. In this
connection il may De stated that the
first wireless telegraphy was done in
Ontonagon county. Michigan, by Ayers
Stockley shortly after the laying of the
! first successful Atlantic Gable i'm 1866
MIR. Stockley used crude home made
| apparatus, but succeeded i'm transmit.

A Liberal Offer
We Guarantee to Cure Dyspepsia. IL
We Fail the Medicine Costs
Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the
people that Indigestion and dyspep-
STA can be permanently relieved and
that RexalI Dyspepsia Tablets will
bring about this result, we will fur
nish the medicine absolutely free if
it fails to give satisfaction to any
one using it.
The remarkable success of ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree of scientific skill used in
devising their formula as well as to
the care exercised in their manufac-
ture, whereby the well known
properties of Bismuth-Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with C~arminatives and other agents.
Observation-Disclosures and Pepsin
are constantly employed and recog-
nized by the entire medical pro-
fession as invaluable in the treat
ment of indigestion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets is prepared by a
process which develops its greatest
efficiency. Pepsin supplies to the
digestive apparatus one of the most
important elements of the digestive
fluid, and without it the digestion
and assimilation OF food are impOssi-
bic.
The carminatives possess proper
ties which aid in relieving the dis
turbances and pain caused by un-
digested food. This perfect combi-
nation of these ingredients makes a
remedy invaluable for the complete
relief of indigestion and dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that we
urge you to try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets on our own personal guaran-
tee. Three sizes, % cents, so cents
and $1.00. Remember you can
obtain Rexall Remedies only at
