Every SHE KNEW THE GREAT MERIT OF NATURE REMEDIES Mrs. De I.uca Tells How Xantoncx , Brought About Purification of Her System j "Sometimes at night it would seem as if 1 would smother. I c-ould not ' sleep and the trouble with my liver : causd me to be dizzy and some ! times 1 \\muld faint and be almost ! in a stupor for hours" declared Mrs. , Louisa De Luca, of 325 S. Front street, Steelton-, Pa. "The real cause of my trouble was that my food did ' not digest," Mrs. De Luca expiain i ed. "I had had stomach and liver ! trouble for years. | "I told a friend of our family just i what my condition was and he said I 'I know just the medicine you need,' j and the next day he brought me a ! box of Natonex. "I came from a country where Nature roots and herbs are used for medicines more than anything else ar.iJ when I saw that Natonex is made of the most famous of these Nature remedies I felt sure that it would benefit me. "In a remarkable short time I began to be relieved of the awful dizziness and my digestion began to be regular. After about three weeks imy system had been so cleansed | and purified that my digestion was almost perfect and my organs were regular. "It is not often that a person is able to find such a medicine as Natonex ar.vi I am very glad to recommend it. I found that every thing claimed for Natonex was true." The famous Nature remedies of which Mrs. De Luca speaks are Dandelion root, Juniper Berries, Gentian root, Linseed, Valerian root, Prickly Ash Bark, Sarsaparilla root, Caseara • Sagrada bark, Jamaica Ginger root, Rhubarb root and Peruvian bark. These safe, sensible Nature remedies have been com bined into a pure Nature medicine that acts not on one organ alone, but on the entire digestive system. Men and women who need system purification, better digestion, purer blood, real nerve vigor and bodily strength, should begin the Nator.-jx treatment at once. Natonex is especially recommend ed in Harrisburg by the Gorgas Drug Co., 16 N. Third street, and is sold by leading druggists everywhere.

NEED MORE HELP IN NORTH RUSSIA British and Russiiins Make Slow Progress in Offensive Arehnngcl, Aug. 18 —The British- Russian offensive In North Russia, which was intended this summer to connect with Admiral Kolchak's Si- ■ beriun army and establish Archangel as a base through which Allied sup plies might be handled to ill anti- Bolshevik armies in th *t--!d ims met with UMc.:pectPo!y etroe;, res!.-taae-e on the- Rvina river at the sa:ao tin u 11■ nt.

Had tunlleil Summer Throughout the long winter, when the Allies and Russians on the Arch-] angel front were fighting a hard pressed, defensive battle against su perior forces, the Allied command was waiting the arrival of summer to take the offensive. Fearing that political conditions in | England would be greatly disturbed if it wer# to become known that the I two brigades of British volunteer | troops, sent ostensibly to effect the relief of Allied forces already' im periled and outnumbered, wire in reality to be used as a reserve for this summer's ofhensive, the censor did not permit the local announce- I r.ient to that effect to be cabled abroad. Behind Schedule This announcement, made to the Archar gel press cn June 6, h> Major General Ironside, commander-in chief of the North Russian forces, was to the effect that Archangel was to he male a base for the Siberian army, through an immediate offen sive for Kotlass, on the river Dvina. Kotlass is the rail head for the line running to Viatka, on the Trans- Siberian railway, a distance of ap proximately 2!>o miles from the posi tion at that time of Kolchak's ad vanced posts, since then driven back many miles eastward. In this cam paign, said General Ironside, the British troops were to act as a re serve while the Russians went ahead. The offensive begau late in June, but so far has advanced only a few miles. Kotlass is still more than a hundred miles from the Russian and British positions on the Dvina, w! ivh are, in fact, only at about the same point where the Americans were es tablished last autumn before the strong Bolshevik offensive caused them to withdraw during the winter. llllilminilfllllHr Turkish and Domestic Tobaccos |g llilliiMlllßSallffliiiiHM ! PLATINUM IN j GREAT DEMAND Lifting of War Ban Causes Big Rush For This Metal N'n York, Aug. IS.—The world is on tiptoe for the discover! of new I platinum fields. In every mining rc | gion on the globe, careful search is being made for traces of the metal which is six times more precious than gold. Since the war-time ban on platinum was lifted, platinum jew elry has returned to greater popular ity than ever and the development of the airplane industry has created new demands for the metal. It Is | with interest, therefore, that manu facturers learn of the recent finding of platinum in the diamond bearing gravels of South Africa. The dis covery is not as yet commercially important but even trace of the metal In the bonanza mineral belt of South Africa is suggestive of rich possibilities. Dr. H. P. Ala life, director of Ihe Southern Rhodesia Geological Survey, made an investigation of the con centrate obtained from the earth from which diamonds are washed at Willoughby's Siding in Southern Rhodesia and sent samples to the Imperial Institute lor analysis. The diamondiferous gravels, ac cording to the analysis, contained three ounces and tvelve pennyweight., of platinum to the ton and seven ounces of osmiridium. Palladium was probably also present but in quanti ties too small in the samples to be identified. The concentrate also con tained a large amount of gold. Osmiridium is a native alloy com posed of osmium and iridium and is i sed.chiefly fpr tipping gold pens and for bearings in watches and cciit i passes.
