BAPTIST MINISTER
SAYS NERVLAX IS
A GOOD MEDICINE
Rev. H. M. Hendricks, Mineral
Wells, w. Va, Recon-
mends Fine Remedy.

Rev. II. NJ. Hendricks, we'll known
Baptist minister Of Mineral Wells,
w. Va, is another friend Of Nerv-
lax. He thinks it is a good medi-
cine and states it has greatly help
ed him. He wds a sufferer from gas
ON the stomach, headache, constipa-
ton, kidney, liver and stomach were
in bad shape; he was nervous, could
not sleep, had dizzy spells and his
general health was rundown. In a
letter dated March 4th, Rev. Mr..
Hendricks makes the following
statement:
81 think NeryIax is the best medi-
cine I ever took for my stomach,
kidneys, liver and bowels. l have
taken lots of other medicines, but
Nervlax certainly reached the base
of all my ills. have taken but one
bottle OF this excellent medicine
and am greatly improved in health.
/ am now trying my second bottle
and believe 1t will cure me. My
wife was also sufferer as | was.
She took the contents of a sample
bottle Of Nervlax and we are salts
fed with the results-because it has
reached her case as well as mine.
We expect to continue the treat
ment until cured"
Signed Rev II. NJ. Hendricks,
Mineral Wells. w. Va.
NerYIax is not new remedy,
but has been on the market for the
past three-quarters of a century. 1t
has always given satisfactory re-
suits and Is being prescribed by rep
utable physicians throughout the
country. A trial bottle will con-
vince You of its worth. NerVlax is
on sale at all first class drug stores
throughout West Virginia and can
be purchased from the Workings
Drug Store, Martinsburg, w. Va. 1t

Skin Irritations
that Itch and Burn

these disorders are called Skin dis
eases" But the real cause is a dis
ease germ in the blood, which null
tiplies by the million, and sets up
an irritation in some tender loca.
ton of the delicate skin.
You can get some little relief for
the time being by rubbing or
scratching the irritated skin, but
you would not expect to be cured
IN this way. Neither should you
expect a euro from local appllca-
tons of lotions. ointments or other
remedies applied to the skin, for the
simple reason that a cure must
come from the source of the trou-
BILE.
You must locate the headquar-
ters of the disease germs, and cut
off their base Of supplies. The blood
is saturated with them, aud they
will set up their attacks on the sur
face of the skin as long as they re-
main in The blood, no matter how
much local treatment you take.
=
A million gallons of local y
treatment applied to the sur =
face of the skin, will not elimi- =
. nate the germs of the disease =
from the blood and until they =
are eliminated your skin will y
never be free from the itching &
= and burning discomfort. y
=
If you want genuine relief, then
take a treatment that goes right to
the seat of the trouble and removes
its cause. Such a remedy is S. S.

that cleanses the blood and routs
oat germs of disease.

hakes off the shaekles of the dis

Think what Labor owes to I Him!

The Churches cooperating under the name of
the lnterchurch World Movement offer the pro-
gram of the Master; and His Golden Rule.
Whatsoever we would that men should do 10
you, do ye even so to them"
BY that rule the industry of the future must
be directed. Its products must be not merely
goods, but good; not merely wealth but happi-
ness and character and joy.
IF you believe these things, you believe in one
of the fundamental purposes of the Churches and
oftheir agent, the Interchurch World Movement
And you have this month your chance to help.
Whether you labor with hand or BRAIN whether
you are inside the Church or out you are sharer
in the benefits of the influence Of Jesus Christ.
Help to make that influence the ruling spirit
of the modern world. Help to make industry a
spiritual enterprise, where men shall work to-
gether not in envy but in mutual respect-as
brothers all, and sons of God"

Sharrar and Watson Appointed
as the Manager of GratiOt
County Branch.

The Secretary Of State has APP
pointed Sharrar q Watson Of Alma,
as managers of tie Gratiot county
branch office for the issuing Of auto
mobile licenses.
This branch will be able TO issue
automobile, truck, motorcycle, trail
er and chauffers licenses to anyone
in Michigan, outside Of Wayne coun-
ty. Application blanks for all of
these licenses, together with full in
structons relative to the weight and
horsepower Of all makes Of auto
mobiles and trucks, will be kept at
the local branch office here, so that
those who secure their licenses in
Alma will not be sub ieeted to the de-
lays-that have been frequent in past
years in sending TO Lansing for
them, when errors have been made
relative to horsepower, weight, the
amount amount Of money due the
state, etc.
Those seeking licenses should ap-
pear in person at the Aim office,
WIN illDllUdAlon itldAlNt ~ iut gtdl
in which the automobile was made,
the car number, and the engine num-
ber. The blanks will be filled in by
notary public at the office and the
blanks issued at once.
The office in Alma will be opened
for the issuing of licenses on We'd
nesday, December 1, 1920, at which
time OF any day thereafter licenses
may be procured.
The opening Of branch license
office in Gratiot county promises TO
meet with general favor with auto
mobile and truck owners through the
county, as many of them have ex-
perienced delays in past years in
securing licenses. that have in some
cases proven troublesome TO say the
least.
The new 1921 licenses have black
background, with white figures and
are probably the neatest that the
state has ever had

Mrs. Williamson Died From Burns
Sustained Several Days Before.

Mrs. Bessie Williamson, aged 27
years. wife Of John Williamson, Re-
public avenue, died lnte Thursday
afternoon at local hospital from
burns which she had received the
previous Saturday. while attempting
to kindle fire.
Just how the accident took place is
no; known, but It is thought that in
kindling the fire Mrs. Williamson
used some kerosene, and that this
caused the fire to flare up, catching
her clothing, which was burned from
the hips up, the upper portion Of her
body, and her head being burned
TO such an extent that It was deemed
advisable TO take her TO a hospital
for treatment. When her clothing
caught fire Mrs. Williamson rushed
from the house, and neighbor, who
happened 70 be going by, pulled off
his overcoat, threw It around Mrs.
Williamson, and smothered the
flames. but not until she had been
so terribly burned, and had suffered
from such bad shock that she was
unable to recover.
Mrs. Williamson is survived by her
husband. John Williamson, one
small daughter, and two step-daugh-
,ers.
The funeral was held from the
home on Saturday afternoon. the re-
mains being laid TO rest in Riverside
cemetery.
