"This is the first time in my life that Eve ever endorsed a medicine, but l take pleasure in endorsing Orgatone, for it certainly has given me great re- lief" said Mrs. J. B. Morley, wife of the well-known business man and plumber of Little Rock recently.
 ''For a long time," she continued, "my entire system has been run down. I just couldn't sleep wink at night and when I woke up m the mornings 1 was feeling miserable Constipation had hold on me and there never was d moment, day or night, that did not suffer.
 ''I really feel like different woman since taking Orgatone. The food l eat digests properly and my constipation has been relieved. Several of my neighborS have also taken Orgatone and they say it has helped them just as 1t has me. I am only too glad to praise this famous medicine"

Eyesiant Basis of Waqe-.

An Irishman and an Englishmen met one day and they had a very heated discussion. Pat, who had only one eye, attracted the Engiishman's atten- ton, when he said:
 Those are grand eyes you have
 "How much grander are those you have" said the Englishman in answer.
 II thought" replied Pat, ''ye English men were good grammarians. 1 have but one eye, and you could not say ,those.'" Then Pat, who was anxious to outdo the Englishman from point of wit and humor, said:
 T bet you 20 shillings to your one that l can see more with my one eye than you can with your two.'
 'Done," said the Englishman. Its a bet"
 And Pat, in his truly witty manner, vociferated:
 "Arrah, shure I with my one eye can see your two, wheras you with your two eyes can only see my one." The Englishman collapsed.

SELF DEFENSE
Defeat Bacl ache and Kidney
 Trou C With Anuric

Many people in this section have suffer- ed from rheumatism and kidney trouble and have found that Anuric was the most successful remedy to overcome these painful and dangerous ailments.
 The lucky people are those who have suffered, but who are now well because they needed natures warning signal in time to correct their trouble with that wonderful new discovery of Dr. Pierce's called "An-u-ric" (double strength). You should promptly heed these warnings, some of which are dizzy spells. backache, irregularity of the urine or the painful twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum- bago. To delay may make possible the forms of kidney disease, such as stone in the bladder. If you want quick relief buy Anuric now (60c a pack age)-or send pr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. This will prove that "Anuric" eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar.
