Gen. Pershing also recommended
that rank up to and including sec

that students at West Point be re-

Treatment.

The thousands Of inquirer received
the last few days concerning Ell Vigor,

pose of his medicine.

cine, a nostrum nor a remedy" states
Dr. Eaton. at is a carefully worked
out prescription, designed to treat dis
Gldc"s Of the blood, liver. stomach and
kidneys. 1t is not cure-all.
"Mcdical authorities agree that a
large majority of the most prevalent
diseases trace their origin to disorders
Of the stomach, liver and kidneys.
The formula of Ell Vigor, which is
printed on every bottle, has been COM
pounded with view to reaching the
source Of such ailments, and by cor
rccting the causes to relieve suffering
in natural way.
"Thousands of people all over the
south have told me repeatedly that

tism, biliousncss, constipation, indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, Blood
and skin disorders and hundreds of
other troubles that have their origin
in disorders Of tho stomach, liver and
kidneys.
"Thc statements of these grateful
people who have taken Eel Vigor and
been benefited by it, prompted me to
place it in the hands Of the druggists,
so that everyone who suffers from
such disorders could obtain it easily
and at a reasonable price.
"The thousands of questions that
are being asked everywhere about Ell
Vigor demand an answer, and | in
tend to prepare a statement regard
ing the ingredients of my prescrip-
tion for publication in a few days.
81 will be very glad indeed if every
person who buys bottle Of El Vigor
from the druggist will read the formu-
la printed on the label and show same
to his family physician and ask his
opinion Of it's ingredients. Many Of

DR.. Eaton began years ago to pay
particular attention to the study of
diseases of the blood, liver, stomach
and kidneys with view to COM
pounding a formula that would
prove successful i'm the treatment of
such disorders. FL Vigor was the
result of these years Of labor.
The thousands of enthusiastic

markable results obtained through
the use Of Ell Vigor for rheumatism,
Indigestion, dypepsia, liver trouble,
nervousness, biliousncss, impure blood

Of DR.. Eaton'S efforts.

brought his fist down upon the table

He was equally emphatic when a

not to take the military committees
into it's confidence about the general
situation in the army.

Mr.. Wolfe takes the position that

regulations of the school and the board

withdraw the child from the school.
