countless millions of deadly germs

pOisons are absorbed into the system
and cause untold misery. So. you see,
it is just acid-stomach, nOthv g else
that makes so many people weak, list
less and unfit; saps their strength and

ToiuoI OUTPUT.

To give an approximate idea of the
scope of this industry, one need only
compare the small output of pure
toluol in 1912 and 1913, for which
years it was approximately 100000 gal
Ions with the estimated output for the
year just past (191S), during which
period it is hoped that the output will
have exceeded 2O,OOO,OOO gallons. Prac-
tically all of this increase has been
possible because of the recovery of
toIuol from coke-oven gas and city
supplies.
