Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with
pure vegetable oils, which exert a
cleansing, soothing and purifying ac-
ton upon the lower bowels, remov-
ing the Instructions of poisonous
focal matter and gases and prevent
ing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free
passage from the stomach, fermenta-
ton ceases and stomach troubles
quickly disappear.
George H. Myar, for twenty years
a leading Chicago druggist, cured
himself and many of his friends OF
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles
OF years standing by this treatment,
and so successful was tine remedy he
devised that it has since been placeu
in the hands OF druggists all over
the country, who have sold thousands
of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless the
effect of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of its remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours
the sufferer feels like new person.

WILDCAT" OIL
Schemes RISKY
Former State Geologist
Warns Against Hasty In
vestMent in Oil and
Gas Projects.

Little Rock, July Elm order to
prement a stampede on the part OF
property owners in the Arkansas
river valley, and the expenditure OF
large sums of money in sinking gas
and oil wells where there is no
chance to strike either, A. N. Purdue,
state geologist OF Tennessee and for
lner geologist for Arkansas, has writ
ten the Little Rock correspondent of
Tie. Graphic as follows on the Arkan-
sas situation:
Drilling TO: oil or gas is always
expensive and in wildcat or unde-
yeloped field, requires great risk,
even when the wells are carefully
located by competent biologists. Gas
has been secured at Poteau, Okla, at
Mansfield. and Fort Smith in west
ern Arkansas, and at Plummerville in
central Arkansas. The chances are
very greatly in favor of finding gas
al many points in the Arkansa val
ley between Plummerville and Con-
way and the western border of the
state. But it must not be thought
that any point in the area is as good
as any other point. On the contrary.
the promising parts are few and
small as compared with the number
and size of whose In which the drill
ing of we'll would mean almost GER
tain loss. No one should put money
that he can not afford to lose into an
oil or gas we'll, especially in al I'M
developed field, and those who can
affordto risk their money in such
wells, should dc so only after they
have been carefully lectured by capa-
bic biologists.
1.-The selection of the best location
for prospective oil or gas we'll is in
no way mysterious. With a know
ledge of the facts of geology and a
wide familiarity of the rock forma-
tions in the field where the locations
are made, it is only matter of close
observation and good judgement. The
sooner the public comes to recognize
this, the smaller vail be the amount
OF money invested in dry holes, and
III taking leases in worthless fields.
AS yet no oil consequence has
been found in the Arkansas Valley of
Arkansas, though there is apparent
reason Why there should NOT be-"
State Geologist Fuller is alsto a
strong believer in Arkansas as an I'M
developed oil field. He picks Craw-
ford and Scott counties as those
which will be the large producers,
Icing of the opinion that the largest
pool in the United States will some
day be found in that section OF the
state.
