Denison. Texas. "After my little

hardly do my work.
I was very nervous

where I could not do

have a chill every
day and hot flashes

'—■—— lmy head would al
most burst. I got where I was almost
a walking skeleton and life was a burden
to me until one day my husband's step
sister told my husband if he did not do
something for me I would not last long
and told him to get your medicine. So he
got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for me, and after taking the first
three doses I began to improve. I coo
tinued itte use, and I have never had any
female trouble since. I feel that I owe
my life to you and your remedies. They
did for me what doctors could not do
and I will always praise it wherever I
go."—Mrs. G. O. LOWERY, 419 W.Mon

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid
is Cause of Indigestion.
A well-Known authority states that
.stomach trouble and Indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity acid
stomach —and not, as most folks be
lieve. t'roni a lack of digestive juices.
He states that, an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta
tion, then our meals sour like garbage
in a can. forming acrid fluids and
j;ases which inflate the stomach liko
a toy balloon. Wc then get tliat
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we
eructate sour food, belch pas, or have
heartburn, flatulence, waterbrasli, or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of .lad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast while it is ef
fervescing, and furthermore, to con
tinue this for one week, while relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making maws, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro
mote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia ami
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent
results.,
:■ A Good Cough Remedy :j

•J Prevent Grippe-Pneumonia !;
• V.V.WbVWAW.VW.WA •
A simple cough is really one of our
best friends. It serves as a warning of
inflammation or irritation in a danger
ous place. I>et a cough go on without
attention and "wear Itself out" and you
are likely to be sorry. Most cases of
iSrippe, Pneumonia. Bronchitis and other
serious throat and lung trouble come
from a neglected cough. But even the
worst cough can usually be stopped in
a few days, while simple coughs, taken
in time, can often bo ended in twenty
four hours by allowing a little Oxidaze
•in tablet form) to dissolve slowly in
the mouth every two or three hours.
Relief from the tickling throat irrita
tion comes almost immediately, as the
healing antiseptic juices of Oxidaze
reach the Inflamed membranes. Dry,
hoarse, tight coughs respond readily to
this pleasant treatment and by stopping
the formation of phlegm in the throat
and bronchial tubes the persistent loose
i-ousrU is soon overcome. As a treat
ment for coughs, colds, throat, lung
and bronchial ailments Oxidase in tab-
Jet form is surely a wonder. You can
easily carry tho tablets about with you,
use them whenever needed. They are
•il< asant to take, inexpensive, contain
no harmful drugs, are a physicians
proscription, and CI. A. Gorgas Drug Co..
and many other druggists in this city
and vicinity who sell them agree to re
fund the full purchase price in any cases
where a package of ninety Oxidaze tab
lets fails to stop a cough and end a
• eld. If you are subject to colds, get
:> package from your druggist on this
liberal guarantee and see for yourself
how it keeps the cold away altogether. ,
l!e sure to insist on Oxidaze and take 1
nothing in its place.
STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause—Take:
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they arc attacking the
real cause of the ailment—clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets arouse
tho liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per
forming their natural functions, away
goes Indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
Jaiy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested food,
vou should take Olive Tablets, the sub

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
griping, cramps or pain.

CHAPTER XXI-Lieber tells his story.

CHAPTER XXII—Tn South America
Alan gets fever and his foreman prepares
to send him to the coast.
When the cavalcade came within
easy view Gerry stood up and watched.
He could not hide his curiosity like
LSeber and Kemp. In front of the
horses came four men bearing a sag
ging hammock on a pole. The.v were
runuiug in quick, springy steps that
made the hammock sway gently from
side to side. The pace they kept up
under the burden was marvelous.
They were followed closely by eight
l horsemen. At the first signs of falter
ing among the bearers, four of the
riders would throw themselves off j
i their ponies and run under the pole.
The change of relay was made without
a stop, without a pause. The freed
pouies stood with banging heads and
straddled legs. Even from a distance
one could see that the burdened men
had run the wiry little beasts off their
feet. They were all in, but the men
were still erect—keen. With a final
spurt the cortege drew up before the
j veranda. Lieber stood up. "Dead or
dying?" he asked.
"Master, we do not know," an
swered the oldest of the men, their
: leader.
"Fever or smallpox?" asked Lieber.
"Fever."
With a look of relief Lieber went
; flown the steps to the hammock. A sheet
j had been thrown over the pole to keep
! off the worst of the sun. He pulled
It off. A ghastly sight met his eyes,
but he did not shrink. "Bring him up
here," be said, springing up the steps
and sweeping a saddle harness and
some old magazines off a great raw
hide settle on the veranda.
They laid the sick man on the settle
and Lieber started to strip him with
eentle, deft hands. Ke mp strode for-''
ward and helped but Gerry stood by.
1 powerless to move. He had recognized
i Alan, the man be had sworn to break
jif ever he met him. Somebody else
! had broken Alan, terribly, pitilessly,
j Gerry's eyes shrank from the sight. A
.j lump came into his throat. Alan was
j dead. Alan with whom he had wan
i dered barefoot through those quiet
: lanes of home, with whom he had
;; fished and swum, and once had
fought. What a little fury Alan had 1
been in that boys' battle' It had not I
. been fought to a finish. On one im
pulse they had stonped and looked at
. each other and turned away, ashamed
{ to shake bands.
| Lieber, once heavy, florid and elum- j
sy, was transformed. He worked '
quickly, with sure hands. Tho body j
lay stripped on the settle. Under it '
■till lay tho hammock and dusty blan
kets. The pillows and a board hail
been tossed on the floor. Lieber ex
amined his paiieut minutely, without !
! haste. The spleen was frightfully dis
tended and pushed out across the ab
| domen. He could feel its hard, un- j
yielding margins. The feet were swol
len. The face was yellow with the
sickly gray-yellow of molded straw.
■ j Coma had set in.
Lieber dragged a great medicine 1
chest out from his room. With alcohol =
he rapidly washed out the dust-tilled J
nostrils of the stricken man and <
| bathed his face and then the limbs and |'
body. Then he took out a hypodermic i '
I syringe ami a graduated glass. In Oije i j
glass he dissolved a powder and with
steady hands added measured drops
of a liquid of faint amber hue.
Gerry found his tongue. "What la
It?" he asked.
"Quinine and arsenic," said Lieber
shortly.
"Arsenic? Isn't that dangerous?"
said Gerry.
Lieber glanced at him. "It will prob
ably kill him."
"Then why—why—" protested Ger
ry. A great desire to protect what
was left of Alan had come over him.
"Why?" said Lieber dryly, "I'll tell
you, Mr. Lansing. Because it is less
cowardly to kill a man than to let
him die."
He mixed the solution in the syringe
and then, grasping Alan's arm, he
pressed it until the veins came out in
swelling network. "Hold his arm like
that." he commanded Kemp. Kemp
clutched the arm. The bones seemed
to bend to the grip. Lieber chose a
swollen vein and pierced it with the
needle. He forced the dose into the
Wood. "There." he said with a smile
to Gerry, "that's what's known as an
Intravenous administration of quinine
and arsenic: If another paroxysm
bits him he's done for, but we'll know
all about that in forty-eight hours'
time."
He went into the house and brought
out clean sheets, soft woolen blankets,
pillows and pillow-slips. Kemp had
never seen such linen; Gerry had al
most forgotten the feel of It. Gerry
came to life. With one hand under
Alan's shoulder and another under his
hips, he lifted him as though he were
an empty shell, while Kemp and Lie
ber drew out the dust-caked blankets
and hammock and spread first a cane
inat over the settle and then n blanket
and, on top of that, a sheet. The touch
of dry, crackling skin seemed
to Gerry to be burning his hands. "It
Is as though there were fire in him,"
be said to Lieber.
Lieber looked at his patient with an
all-seeing eye. He paused before cov
ering him up. "That's it," he said.
"There's fire in him—the worst kind—
and he's been playing with it, just
tickling it with stale quinine." His
eye ran rapidly over the thin body. "I
said the dose I gave him would prob
ably kill him, but I've changed my
mind. I'm betting the other way, now
I really look at him. There's no flesh
on him. but he doesn't look like a skel
eton. Wliy? Because of the sinews
and bones of him—they're perfect.
Look at the way the sinews hold his
nock and the way the ueck carries the
sinews. Look at the flat bulge of bis
libs and the breadth of his shoulders
over the hips. That means heart and
Somebody Else Had Broken Alan.
lungs and vitals. That man's been a
fighter, and unless I'm a bigger fool
than I was yesterday he's a fighter
yet."
"Cover hitn up, for God's sake," said
Gerry.
Lieber dropped the sheet and went
ofT to the kitchen. Gerry aud Kemp
covered the stripped body and tucked
many blankets over it. Lieber came
back and took off half the blankets.
"Mustn't tire him with weight," he ex
plained. "If he's going to sweat, he'l!
sweat all right. Malaria—malignant
fever—is the tiredest disease in the
world. When they get too tired to
breathe, that's the end." He took hold
of Alan's wrist. "To feel his pulse,
you'd say he was dead now."
" 'Bout time we was startin'," re
marked Kemp with his eyes toward
the declining sun.
