Cured Indigestion 10 Years
Standing, Says J. B. Clei-
land-Used One Bottle
of Ferraline, Is Now
in Good Health

Mr.. ]. B. CIeiland is a prominent stock
raiser and a large planter of Salitpa
Clarke county, Alabama. In talking with
a representative of the Frankville Med
icine company, Inc, Mr. Cleiland says
that he had been a victim of chronic in
digestion for 10 years, and that one bottle
of "Ferraline' has completely cured him
and he believed saved his life.
Nothing that 1 ate agreed with me,
said Mr.. Cleiland. Il suffered with gas
and that sore and tight feeling after any
thing 1 would eat My back and head
ached, and 1 had gradually lost weight
j had very little energy, and believed
that I could not live in the condition
that I was unless 1 found some relief.
Il would spit up what 1 ate, and my
stomach was sour, and my breath very
foul. l bought medicines, anything that
] thought would help me, or was told
would benefit me, but l could get no
relief
II har heard so much about Ferraline
and after noting the results it had accom-
plished for more than one of my friends
in this locality, and as all who had
used it spoke so highly of it, L bought a
bottle, a 12-ounce bottle, and began TAX
ing teaspoonful in half glass of water
after meals.
After the first few doses I could see
that 1 was being benefited. l would

eating. My stomach began to lose its
soreness. My appetite improved so that
j could not get enough to eat.
Before 1 had finished the first and
only bottle 1 have had to buy of Fer
raline / was so much improved that
did not suffer with my back and head
any longer, neither was 1 troubled with
dyspepsia or indigestion.
II have gained 20 pounds in weight,
and am feeling better than I have felt
for several years, and can attend to my
business with some satisfaction.
-Ferraline gave me results from the
start and of a nature that was not
temporary, as L am continuing to at
tain in weight in proportion to what a
man of my frame should weigh, and my
entire system is today in first-class con-
dition.
'I have never heard of any medicine
that is giving universal satisfaction
as 'FERRALINE' is giving in my local
ity."

Messrs. Rowland & Clifford's most i'm
portant production for this season is:
When the City Sleeps" a play written
by Edward e. Rose. who furnished 1.-THE
Rosary" to this same we'll known firm of
Chicago producers. This play is being
presented at the Bijou this week.
In his new play the author takes as his
theme a lonely emigrant girl who comes
to this country and becomes involved in
tangled skein of circumstances, all
tending toward the effort to arrest her
and have her deported.
Without virtually saying SO. the author
has evidently drawn upon the Mendel
Bells case. which SO thoroughly aroused
the United States and nearly all foreign
countries during the past year.
In while the City Sleeps" the victim
is Hebrew girl who has fled from the
horrible massacres Of her native home
in Russia and comes to meet the man
who has worked and saved to build a
home for her and to bring her to his
side.

How plague may ne present in rats

perience OF the steamship "City OF

The history of the vessel proves
what many medical experts have long

the world there are many ports infect.

the presence of disease is not known
because human cases have either not
developed at all or not in sufficient
numbers TO attract attention.
Such ports in turn undoubtedly
serve as q base from which infection
Is carried by rats to ships and thus to
other ports.
The steamship "City OF Durham"
