pains would start in my left side,
and extend up into my shoulders,
and many a time / had to sit down,
or go to bed, until the spells had
passed.
Then, I commenced to suffer
with stomach trouble. After eating,
hard pains would come in the pit
of my stomach, and everything I ate
disagreed with me. I had taken so
many medicines without any last
ing relief, and was so tired, worn
and distressed with pain, that I was
on the verge of despair. But I will
never cease to be thankful for Civ
ing Sargon a chance, and I am still
marveling at the relief this wonder
full medicine gave me. If it had
done nothing but end my neuritis,
that would have been. enough, but
it helped me in every way, and I
am feeling better than I have in
years. My appetite is back, I eat
and enjoy hearty meals, and moth
ing disagrees with me Every ache
and pain is gone, my strength and
energy have returned, and / feel
like a different woman in every
way.
While the Sargon tonic was
building me back my strength, Sar-
gon Soft Mass Pills cleansed my
system Of poisons, by stimulating
my liver and regulating my bowel
action. I can never say too much in
praise of this wonderful new treat
ment."
The above statement was made
recently by Mrs. Gertrude McDon-
aid, highly esteemed resident Of 737

Brownsville from Cisneros Drug

Spurred on rather than daunted by the oppressive heat of Memorial Day, veterans of three wars for free- dom together with the city in gen. eral paid signal honors to the war rior dead of New Britain at a parade and celebration which took place Thursday morning.
 Though the veterans marched with measured tread. inspired by the fire of martial music played by many bands, yet beside their old buddies walked that grim array: the fallen heroes of 1861. 1898 and 1917. For it was Memorial Day, the day set apart by the United States for re- membrance of those who died that the Union might be preserved: of those who died go that Cuba might he relieved of spain's oppression; of those who died so that the world would be safe for democracy.
