HOW A SICK DOCTOR

Young doctor 2 told BY several eminent ply

RelentIessly DR.. REFUSING made
his scientific researches and inves-
legations until his efforts were
crowned with success. He discov-
cred a formula which combines the
natural cell-salts that feed and
nourish the cell of the tissues.

the body and rapidly increases the
supply of oxygen, iron and plasma
of the red blood cells, which re-
vitalize and rebuild the entire
body.
This formuia-discovered in a
desperate effort to preserve MS

that he gradually restored ms
health and soon became strong
and vigorous. DR.. Reusi is now
47 wears old and his ruddy cheeks
bright eyes and vigorous health
are irrefutable evidences OF the
strength-renewing, blood-puritylng'

formula.
For nearly 20 years DR.. REFUSING
has prescribed this formula. for
thousands of patients in his private
practice with wonderful success

In 1893 DR.. A. L. REFUSING OF
Akron, Ohio, had just completed
his course at medical college he
had paid his way through medical
college by working nights as
telegrapher. Overwork and over
study had undermined his health
and he consulted many specialists
but they all pronounced him IN
curable and said that he could 1--we
only few months.
But DR.. REFUSING determined that
if he must die, he would ind the
cause, since none of the physicians
could diagnose his disease posi-
lively.
Knowing that without oxygen
the body dies, he began a thorough
Investigation of the effect OF oxy11
gen on the blood. He STUDIED
Prof. Virchow's famous cell
Theory" which proves that the
body is only a collection OF ceils
and that there are twelve ceil-saits
that nourish and maintain the cells
Of the body. Just as a mower
droops and dies for lack OF water
so the cells wither and die tor lack
Of their natural cell-salts.
He knew that the red blood cells
carry the iron in the blood ano
that iron attracts oxygen just as 2
magnet attracts steel. He Learned
that bv increasing the amount o.
iron in the blood, the iron. at
tracted the oxygen from the air II
the lungs into the blood eXactII1
as the magnet attracts steel H'

burns up the impurities, germs

Through careful research h
learned the cell-salts that natur'
requires to feed the cells and man
tain health. This led to the DIS
covery that the health OF the Do,dl;
is governed entirely by the he9altl
Of the blood and that if the oloo,

Letters to
Old Santa
Claus.
From His Good
Little Children.

1T is regrettable that a number
of persons, most of them probably
in a spirit of play, have attempted
To take advantage of the Santa
Claus Letter Column by sending in
letters over forged names of adults.
Most of these, where the names were
known, or where there were other in
dications that the letters were not
genuine, have been sent to the waste
basket. In one or two instances it
has been discovered that fake letters
have gotten into print, to the en-
barrassment of innocent persons.
One of these bore the name of Miss
MYRTLE Herring, of Americus. This
column always proves a source of
great entertainment and expectation
to the children at Christmas time,
and it is an unhappy circumstance
that any person should attempt to
take advantage of it,

Nov, l wonder what creature is

Someone is piling stones. I'll go

He went to the window and open

An ordinance fixing the tax rate at

passed at the meeting. In prac-
tically every department of the city
government there are increases in
appropriations as compared with last

increases. The total amount to be
spent is about $4,000 more than in
1928, and will be raised largely by
the increase in the assessed valua-

German Howl For Food
Wholly Without Reason

American Army sf Occupation,
Jan. 4.-According to estimates made
by intelligence officers of the Ameri-
can Third Army. after an investiga-
ton. it appears that in the area oc-
cupied by the American troops the
cities and towns have enough of most
foods to last during the winter. and
the country districts have enough to
carry them through the spring. The
most critical shortage is in fats and
milk. Sugar stocks have been am
pie until recently. but fresh sup
plies are not in sight and the stock
on hand will be exhausted in about
six weeks
The country districts are much
better supplied with food, and a por-
tion OF thi surplus finds its way 10 the
wealthy classes in the cities by means
of Illicit trading.
