NATURE PROVIDES THE
INGREDIENTS
Argo- Phosphate, the New Herbal
Remedy Now Endorsed by
Local People.

II the digestive organs are not
properly performing the work which
nature has assigned to them, then nu-
triton. which is absolutely essential
to the recovery of other disease i
parts, will be lacking and there can
be no permanent relief. When bod
lily nutrition is normal. the stomach
digests the food. the blood absorbs
and carries the nourishment to the
different parts of the body, causing
the various organs to properly per-
form their functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in
the ingredients of Argo-P Phosphate,
the new herbal stomach remedy,
which is now being introduced here.
1t is purely vegetable and its vitaliz-
ing. corrective and reconstructive
qualities are 50 pronounced that ben
eficial results are noticed from the
first day. That this is true, it is only
necessary to listen to the statements
made daily by local people who have
given Argo-P Phosphate a fair trial
and have been benefited thereby
1t is dispensed BY every druggist.

There seems to be a few cases o;
hog cholera in the vicinity of Butle.,
The state is trying to eradicate chol-
era from Missouri and pays deputy
state veterinarian for treating sick
herds where the farmers pay for the
cost of serum. There is liable to be
several cases of cholera, owing to the
good corn crop this year, as chronic
cholera often becomes acute when
hogs are fed heavily on new corn.
The best preventive is vaccination. as
all ounce of prevention is worth a
pound OF cure. All other kinds of
