river nor apt language conveying
more than the lot described, the
grantee Is limited to the lot described

riparian proprietor.
The title to land submerged by the

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 cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon
the lower bowels, removing the OBJ
structions of poisonous focal matter
and gases and preventing their abb
sorption by the blood. This done. the
food is allowed free passage from the
stomach, fermentation. ceases and
stomach troubles quickly disappear.
George H. Mayr. for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured him.
self and many of his friends of stonn-
ach, liver and intestinal troubles of
years standing by this treatment, and
so successful was the remedy he de-
vised that it has since been placed in
the hands of druggists all over tho
country, who have sold thousands OF
bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet of the medicine is SUFFICIENT to
convince any one OF its remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like new person. Mayr's
Wonderful Stomach Remedy is now

Love stories all tell us Of the hero

of the features which most attracts
men. In washing the hair it is not
advisable to use a makeshift, but al
