no end to the excitement that has
been created here by the strange
and mystifying results following
the use of the new Root Juice
treatment in cases of stomach and
kidney disorders and rheumatism.
Some of the severest cases that
could be found have been treated
successfully with the new liquid
and so quick have the results been
in many cases that the sufferers
and their friends were dumb
founded.
Persons who were helpless from
rheumatism for months and who
had to be carried about claim to
have recovered as if by miracle
after using the strange new medi-
cine for a very short time and are
now walking the streets and en-
joying the best of health. Suffer-
ers from stomach trouble, who
could not drink a glass of water
without suffering afterward and
who claim to have suffered ag-
onies from Indigestion, headaches,
belching, and bloating, pains after
meals and other similar distresses
now declare they have a hearty
appetite. can eat ANYTHING and
never suffer from any of these
symptoms.
Many prominent and Influential
people of this city have used the
treatment with pronounced success
and a number have given out
statements for publication. Among
these is Mr.. H. P. Seay, 10 E
Pavilion street, whose wife has
been almost an invalid for four
years. When seen and asked
about his wife's experience. Mr..
Seay said: 1T is true that Mrs.
Seay has been wonderfully bene-
fitted by the new treatment. She
has been suffering from stomach
and kidney troubles for four years
and lately these became compli-
Gated with nervous prostration.
we tried several doctors, but they
did not seem to help her and then
We started trying every remedy
we heard of. During her illness
Mrs. Seay has used one hundred
and forty bottles of various we'll
known medicines with but little or
no relief. She is now on the third
bottle of this new Root Juice treat
ment and we are delighted with
| the results. She has gained in
strength, has a splendid appetite,
sleeps we'll at night and feels bet
ter than she has in four years.
In fact, the three bottles of this
medicine has done more for her
than all the hundred and forty |
spoke Of"
AT almost every hour Of the day
in the drug store where the new
medicine was explained one could
hear stories Of startling results
obtained by those who have been
using it.
A very interesting and remark
able experience was related by
Mr.. Wilson Gaines of 318 Western
avenue, who is well known in
railway circles, having been en-
ployed as switchman by the Cen
trail Railway Of Georgia for eight
years. Mr.. Gaines explained that
he had been troubled on and off
for five years and that he suf-
fered intensely. When asked to
give a description of his case he
said: Il suffered fearfully from
rheumatism in my joints and it

The Magic Answer.

When you have company, get one
to be the accomplice and show the
others this bit OF magic.
The accomplish leaves the ROOM
while the others decide on an article
which the accomplish is to guess from
your questions.
You have arranged with him that
the right article is the one after you
have mentioned one beginning with q
vowel.
You can make this as mysterious as
you like.
For instance the article agreed on
by the company is the clock. When
your accomplice comes back you ask
him as 1t a mirror?'' mirror begins
with a consonant). "No."
els 1t a chairl" (Chair begins with
consonant). NO
as It the carpet? Carpet begins
with a consonant). sNo."
''Is 1t the album (Album begins
with vowel. NO"
"Is it the clockY' EYES,"
Should any Of the company catch on
or should you want to vary the
"magic," you decide with your accom-
plice to name an object with legs,
like table or chair, before giving the
object agreed upon and to which the
final answer is YES"

How 1t fiuttered and how 1t foamed;
How 1t rippled as on 1t roamed!
How It chartered and laughed and played

How It glittered and how 1t shone
AS through the foliage glanced the sunl
How 1t bubbled and how 1t whirled

It would not tell me. 1t hurried ON
Till all the sunny hours were gone.

Caresses the crystal drops which pass,

For Just as the stars came out to peep
It hushed Its murmurs and went to sleep.

Grandfather laughed. "Let me ask
you a question:" he said, "and II you
can't answer it you must not ask me

Jack London, preparing to embark
on another cruise around the world,
told in Santa Barbara of the strange
experiences of his last cruise.
But We had no such hairbreadth
escapes as that Of a missionary we
met in Samoa" he said. This good
fellow was preaching in one of the
islands in which caHnibalism is prac-
ticed. While trying vainly to make
converts he was captured by a canni-
bal king. To his surprise, he was inn
mediately released His release, how
ever, was made on the condition that
he carry a small sealed packet to
neighboring king.
THE missionary was so grateful that,
meeting Unexpectedly detachment of
English sailors, he refused to accom-
pany them to safer territory. The
sealed packet from his benefactor
would be delivered as he had prom
ised. But an officer in the midst of
the discussion opened the packet.
Therein, besides a number of pun
gent little onions, was a letter con-
tanning these simple but significant
words:

face was covered with pimples. They
were small at first but gradually
grew and right at the end of each
pimple it was all white. | carelessly
picked them with my finger nails,
which made them spread, and l soon
discovered them on my back. My
back was covered with pimples and
my face the same way. At night |

caused. l did not like 10 go out be-
