DR.. Thatcher first came into public
notica by reason OF his frequent dem
onstrations that indigestion, gas on
an acid stomach. constipation. colds
that hang on and a general run
down, tired out feeling are often the
result OF sluggish Llver-and that
relief in such cases comes quickly
when the liver is properly cleansed
and toned and tho system functions
once more as Nature intended.
How Nature Helps
There is a scientific reason for this
quick relief!
When working a. Nature Intended
the Liver does three things neces-
sary to keep you feeling your best.
First, 1t purifies your Blood. every
drop of which filters through your
liver every fifteen minutes. Second.
your liver furnishes the essences es-
sential to perfect digestion. Third.
your liver supplies the secretions
Nature furnishes to lubricate the in
testines so that your bowels can
move gently, thoroughly and regu.
larly every day.
why You Feel Badly
Your liver cannot do these things
when II becomes sluggish. Conss-
quentiy you often wake up mornings
feeling dull and tired Perhaps
your digestion is not as Il used to
be: gases may boat you after meals

Maine Cattle

MY attention has been called to
statement made by Phillip r. Tark in
his address before the Augusta Rotary
Club last Friday evening in which he
said that of the cattle owned in the
State Of Maine less than . per cent.
were pure breds." said II. NJ Tucker
chief of the division of animal indus
try of the department Of agriculture
in speaking with a Journal reporter
Monday. "The number of pure breds
owned in Maine is rogrcttably small
hut l cannot let the above statement
so unchallenSed. rs | do not wish to
have it appear that the MaineNiveStoCk
owners are quito as blind to tho ben
Gifts Of pure bred stock as Mr.. Parks
statement would lead people to think.
1T is. OF course. impossible to state
definitely the number of herds of pure
bred cattle owned. but We have IN this
Office 1889 herds tabuIatcd. OF this
humber 1914 herds contain HES head
cf registered cattle. OF the remain
ing eos herds the number Of animals
was not reported. Assuming that these
herds averaged five animals each would
make total of 1o.16S head OF regis
tered cattle. This. OF course. does not
take into consideration the owners of
enc and two pure bred animals. and
doubtless there are many herds of con-
siderable size that have not been able
to get on this list.
"On tho other hand. according TO the
last published report of the state as
SCISSORS. there are 149.106 head of cows.
ci.S22 head of three-year olds. 27.415
two-year Odds, 3l.979 head of year
lings, making Il total OF 2SS. 92o head of
cattle owned in the state. There is no
record of animals owned less than one
year of age. and I think it is safe to
assume this number will not exceed the
number OF pure breds OF which We
have no record. Taking these figures
as above given. we have "a per cent. of
