WHY BLAME THE STOMACH FOR SO MANY TROUBLES?

Why couldn't I get the Answer long ago? The stomach being so far from rheumatic pains 1t could not be connected with being. in any way, responsible for such troubles, Then 1t was learned that medical adthori- ties agree that the stomach is the source of many of our body ailments Indigestion is known as one of the first troubles to develop sfrom ac- cumulated acids In the stomach. That explained a whole lot--now it Is easy to see why distressing headaches, loss of energy, constipation, Fheuma- tlsm, skin diseases and a rundown system are so common with most of us.. They are results of @poisons ab- sorbed by the system from a stomach not functioning as nature provides. That the stomach could be made well and healthy. and resultant troubles overcome so easily was not realized until that wonderful medicine FER RALINE, was tried. It's great merit has, been proven in, thousand of cases. It. simply aids nat ature in re- storing the stomach to, normal and overcoming the many complaints due to absorbed poisons.

FAKE 0CILETS
 TOURING STATE
Police Watching For Two Men
 In High-P Powered Auto mobile

Police Chief McDuff has been: re- quested to notify police officers to watch for two fake eye specialists whose activity has been recently no- ticed in Lee county.
 The pair, passing themselves of as graduates of John Hopkins university, are said to be touring the south in . high priced roadster and making a speciality" of old couples who have a little money laid by and who are most likely to be troubled by eye diseases, Their method of operation is said to be simple and sure. According to one of the recent instances the pair stopped at the, home of a farmer of moderate means under thet pretepse of getting a drink of water. While talking to the farmeE's wife, one of the "specialists'' discovered, with alarm, that she was suffering with very serious eye malady which would necessitate an operation by high-ciass physician.
 Of course, he said, he could perform such an operation but he was on a strictly pleasure trip and did not care to be bothered by business As result the farmer offered his last penny if the doctor" would ''save his wife's sight" From the standpoint of the specialists" the operation was highly successful. It netted them $2, 900.
