A SHORT HISTORY OF
old HICKORY TONIC

First used by doctor who lost has
life in the Civil war.
Next used by doctor who studied
medicine for period OF Sc years, from
1858 10 1914, and he gave Old Hickory
Tonic TO large number of his patients
in all these years. He died at the ripe
old age Of eighty.five years.
The formula was handed down to his
two sons who also became doctors.
They found the medicine so meritori-
GUS that they also used it In their reg.
ular practice. One of them has now
given 1t to his patients for thirty years.
Scarcely day passes that he does not
prescribe ii.
Old Hickory Tonic creates new
strength, richer blood, more vitality
and sharpens the appetite. 1t is fine
for stomach, liver and kidney trou
bles, as well' as for anemia, nervous
ness. and general run down condition
OF the system. 1t contains no Strych-
nine, Opiates, Digestive Ferments or
Nauseating Oils. Sold at first class
drug stores with the understanding
that your money will be refunded If
you are not more than satisfied.

DOMESTIC GAS
USERS PROTECTED
Much Local Interest Taken
in Ohio Commission
Action.

More than ordinary interest has been
taken by Fairnont manufacturers in
an administrative order just issued by
the Public Utilities Commission of
Ohio, with regard to the supply OF nat
ural gas to industrial consumers and
to those consumers OF natural gas who.
while classed as domestic, are not resi-.
dence users. The idea OF the Com
mission Is to protect the domestic
users of natural gas wherever posi-
BILE. owing to the growing scarcity Of
this fuel.
The administrative order OF the
Commission, issued by Chairman
BeeCher W. Waltermire and Commits
sioners Lawrence y. LangdOn and
Louis NJ. Day, is as follows:
"Thc Commission having under con.
sideratton the furnishing OF natural
gas to consumers within Ohio and hav.
ing. through its experts and examiners.
made a careful investigation OF the
situation, taken the pressure in varl.
GUS parts OF the state. examined con-
ditions and ascertained that there is
q shortage Of gas in many localities of
the state creating an emergency there
in, finds that there is an insufficient
supply Of natural gas to furnish both
domestic and industrial consumers.
THE Commission further finds that
the schedules OF the various companies;
to furnish said gas, on file with the
Commission show that industrial con
sumers, or the 'non.preferred class,
a Fn IN a Ntlpf f1 ulNF I en-
| vice under what Is known as u Uniform
Contract which contract provides that
their service Is subject TO discontinu.
ance at any time and under any cir.
| cumstances, upon summary notice by
the gas company, subject to the condI-
lions of the Uniform Contract, or
clauses Of like import. 1t is, there.
fore,
Ordered that each and every com.
pany furnishing natural gas to both
domestic and industrial consumers
within the state OF Ohio proceed forth
with TO strict enforcement OF the
terms of said Uniform Contract and
TO enforce the conditions OF said sched'
ules by the discontinuancc Of said non
preferred or industrial class in each
and every locality where the supply OF
gas Is not adequate and sufficient to
furnish a reasonable supply to both
and to continue such disConncCtiOn un'
til such time as adequate service can
be furnished to both. 1t Is further
Ordered that each and every pub
lie utility furnishing natural gas as
aforesaid in any locality, when, after
the discrimination of industrial con.
sumers, the supply is not adequate to
supply domestic consumers, forthwith
MAKE report of such facts, together
with a list of any and all other con.
sumers not within the domestic class
but not subject to summary discontinu.
