Remarkable New Element Restores Health and Vital POwes to
Weak Suffering People, Declare SCentiStS-TO be Placed
on Sale in Dresden at W. R. BObbitts

been made as to who would secure
the selling agency for this territory,
as it is understood that only one
thoroughly reliable druggist is ap-
pointed in each town to distribute
the much-sought-for product.
Following this discussion, an
nouncement is now made that Iro-
gen can be secured in Dresden at w.
R. Bobbitt's, and many hundreds have
already called to get supply and
test the strengthening powers that
are claimed for this new discovery,
and those who are in a position to
know predict that Irogen will short
ly be used in every household
throughout the length and breadth
of this country.
According to physicians and drug
gists, among the numerous symp-
toms which may indicate in varying
degrees weak blood and its need of
Irogen are: Lack of muscular
strength and Endurance, weakness or
irritability, pale, aneamic skin, rest
less sleep, loss of appetite, dyspep-
STA and Indigestion, loss of weight,
susceptibility to colds and catarrh,
habitually cold feet and hands, ex-
haustion after moderate exercise or
work, premature age and various
skin eruptions. On the whole, it is
said, the heart and stomach will SUI
fer the most from weak blood and
respond most quickly to the strength
ening effect of Irogen.

left hand in monthortwo. You will

vance and were moving into a dug
out that had been a German infirm-
airy the day before, and as the Colonel
wanted it for a P. c., | had a few
papers and letters to cleanoff the
floor. l ran my left hand into a
pile of papers and. Bang" and when
I came to, my left hand was all tied
up and l was ready to go to the hos
pital. | walked for almost three
miles before l caught an ambulance
and when l did, it stopped at the
next corner where there was a dress
ing station. l laid there in the open
with hundred other men, when the
Germans began to shell us. You
should have seen the men lying there
without arms or legs and the shells
falling among them, killing the al
ready half-dead men. Well, l left
there at double time and after
long journey of many different kinds
of travel and cars, l hit the evacu-
alton hospital and was operated up

Few announcements in many years
have caused such widespread inter-
est in medical and scientific circles
and among the public in general as
that recently made regarding the dis
covery of Irogen and it's relation to
the blood and general health of the
human system.
The wonderful power of Irogen to
rebuild natural strength, health and
vigor is now attributed by physicians
and scientists to it's natural blood
building power. Irogen, they ex-
plain, regenerates human blood, for
it has been demonstrated beyond the
possibility of doubt that Irogen sup
plies nature with the element essen
tial to the formation of new blood.
The entire nation has been amaz-
ed over the possibilities brought to
light through the discovery of lro-
gen, and rightly so, for this discov-
cry has a practical interest of far
reaching Importance to the public
in general. 1t is known that the
world is literally full of people whose
blood is below the standard of Wig
orous health and whose strength and
vital resistance to disease is there
fore very low. Almost every house
hold, it is said, contains one or more
persons whose vitality is below nor
mal-not necessarily invalids, but
rather weaklings, who are prone to
disease and complaints Of every
kind. To these Irogen will prove of
inestimable value in rebuilding nat
ural strength and health through re-
generation Of the blood, declare au-
thorities.
Great interest has been aroused
in Dresden since the discovery Of
Irogen and much speculation has

Dear Father and Mother:-I just
received your two letters; written
Aug. IS and Sept. 2. l sure was glad
to receive them. l am getting along
fine-haven't been sick since | came
to France. However, don't think
it is very healthy country.
I haven't seen or heard of Hoyt
Kennedy since before l left camp
Sewer. He came to France few
days before l did. saw Roy Nowlin
about month ago in st. Deia, but
he has gone from there now. Tell
Rydal Bailey l saw him. By the way,
I think he worked for Mr.. Allen
while. He sure was proud to see
me.
Mother, I brought my pillow with
me and have it now, but the mirror
was stolen on the boat coming across.
l guess Sidonia will be changed so
much that l will get lost going down
the streets. Have you put down con-
crete walks yet? / was awfully sorry
to hear that Mamie had stuck nail
in her foot. hope she has recovered
by this date.
wish I could be there andgo to
church once more and see how
would feel The Roman Catholic
churches are the only ones we see
in this country, but we never have
time to attend. have seen churches
l 200 years old, with moss-covered
tops, but the inside is very fine and

pleasure of seeing where Napoleon
was buried in Paris, France. Will
tell you about it when | return.
| don't know how many letters l
have written, but as often as l can.
| would be glad to receive a picture
of you and Beulah May.
1t has rained here every day for
two weeks. The mud is about four
or five inches deep. Being on the
coast it naturally would be muddy.
| am getting along fine-I don't do
much work myself, but l can any
time it is needed. | have just re-
ceived two letters from Miss Tidwell.
My Uncle Sam has just made me
a present of a new suit of clothes.

When the kiddies' tongues turn white;

Cascarets as directed on each 10 cent

work out the nasty bile, sour fermen-

THIEVES DISMAN-
TIE STRANDED CAR

One afternoon last week thieves
dismantleC1 the stranded Ford car
belonging to Jas. H. Moran, taking
the two fore wheels, the spark plugs,
the headlight bulbs, the tools, the
gasoline in the tank and the cylinder
oil from the crank case.
Of all the cases of record this one
caps the climax. 1t is thought to
have been done by travelling auto
thieves, as it is not believed Weak
ley county possesses an inhabitant
who would be guilty of such mean,
dirty trick.
The car had been driven to Mar
tin by Mr.. Moran's colored chauf-
feur, Jimmy Martin. Returning the
car broke an axle, and the negro went
back, removing both rear wheels,
which he brought home with him,
and which accounts for their not be-
ing stolen also. If anyone knows Of
a person having an extra set of Ford
wheels and tires in his possession Mr..
Moran will literally reward him for
the information.

IN MEMORY OF
LIEUT.. LITTLE.

Lieut.. Little was injured when the
aeroplane in which he was flying,
fell at Fulton, KY, on Oct. IL.
He died at Park Field hospital, on
Oct. %.
Yes, one of our heroes noble band
Has persisted from freedoms land;
Oh! he was so brave and true
To our dear Red, White and Blue.
He gave the best he had, his life,
To end this great world strife;
He died on the field of honor and
glory,
And for the sacred cause of Liberty.
Such man we can ne'er forget,
And our eyes with tears are wet;
While his body in the cold ground
lies,
His soul dwelleth above the skies.
Thank God for such gallant boys,
They are our earthly joys.
They are the rarest flowers
Of this great nation of ours.
He gave his life for freedoms cause,
And to protect Democracy's laws;
And while his name we honor and
love,
His soul is with his God above.
