OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1909, A STARTLING STATEMENT. New York Medical Authorities Claim Dyspepsia Dauses Consumption. The post mortem statistics of the big New York hospitals show that some cases of consumption are due to un checked dyspepsia,especially when the victim was predisposed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain, the weakened, irritable stomach is unable to digest food, the body dots not receive the required nourishmeut, constipation ensues and the victim be comes thin, weak and haggard. Asa result, the body becomes o fertile field ior the germs of disease to lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing toward the de velopment of one of the most insidious and latBl diseases known to mankind. Dyspepsia is curable it properly treated. J. G. Hall sells a remedy -which they positively guarantee will cure indigestion or dyspepsia or they will pay for all the medicine used dur ing the trial. This remedy is an ab solutely new medical discovery and has been named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer could be more fair, and the offer of J. G. Hall is proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependable and infalli ble remedy. Inasmuch as the medi cine will cost you nothing if it does not benefit ycu we urge you who are sjfferingr wtth indigestion or dyspepsia to try this remedy. A twenty-five cent box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets contains enough medicine for fifteen dayB treatment. Remember Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are only sold in Oxford bv J. G. Hall.

ITrom the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but if a scientific man Jbad told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing fcome to the public a parallel fact; that th siomackjs the most vulnerable organ out ofhe prtws ring as well as In it.

The Golden Stream from Barnyard The man who wastes, or fails to put to good use the manure that is made upon his farm, or tails to take advan tage of any manure that is produced in this vicinity is doing incalculable injury to his own interests and to soci ety. If we consider the question from the view point ot the cash value of the fertilizer, only we shall see how se rious is the mistake of the man who neglects the manure from his live stock. Professor K. B. Voorhees of the New Jersey Experiment Station has put this matter in a concrete form by showing exactly what the cash value of the manure is that so frequently is permitted to go to waste. He declared that a well-fed dairy cow will, on the average, produce 12 3-4 tons of man ure per year, and that this product will contain on the average 117 lbs.of nitrogen,?? pounds cf phosphoric acid, 89 pounds of potash, enough, if all the constituents in it were used, to grow nearly 70 bushels of wheat with the accompanying straw. These have come from the farm somewhere; if they are not returned the power of the soil is lessened, If the farmer wishes to return these in the form of commercial fertilizers,he would have to pay out $30 at present prices 20 cents per pound for the nitrogen and four and a half cents each for the phosphoric acid and potash. ( Another authority quite as distin guished as the one just quoted, places the value of sheep manure, produced under cover and carefully preserved from the action of the weather.at more than $5 per ton. That the hoot of the sheep is golden is matter of tradition from time immemmorial. Poultry droppings and the products of the horse stable also are immensely valua ble. Nor is the value of the manure to be wholly measured by its chemical content. One of the most valuable features of barnyard manure, a value which no commercial fertilizer has to any apparent degree is the effect upon the physical condition of the soil. The fact that this may not be expressed in dollars and cents in no degree detracss irom its importance Every tiller of the soil knows decaying vegetable matter in the soil gives to it a quality, a power of production, a capacity to retain moisture.and adds to its friabil itv as does nothing else. Organic matter in barnyard manure performs another important tunction it sets free some of the locked-up plant.food that already resides in the soil. All soils contain great qualities af fertility that is in such forms as fo be useless to plants. The dissolution and decay of the oiganic matter tends to free and make available these stores of plant-food. And the decay of the vegetable matter also generates mate rials which decompose the soil parti cles and promotes various soil activi ties which result in increased product ivity. In short, barnyard manure from any source is the most valuable and beneficial by product of the farm, and its intelligent preservation from loss and use upon the land by the farmer would than all the gold mines of the continent can ever be made to yield American Farm World. About Freight Rates. FROM THE NEWS & OBSERVER. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion refuses to allow the proposed in creased rate on single shipments to continue effective and the old rule pre scribing the minimum charge by rail road companies on single shipments will be restored. At a meeting of the Raleigh Mer chants' Association last Friday night a local merchant presented a letter from a Richmond house advising that under a new ruling the railroads would charge a rate equal to the first clas rate for 100 pounds on any goods shipped without reference to classifica tion, provided a weight was not ship, ped that would bring the freight up to the first class rate, 400 pounds. This would bear with particular hardship upon all merchants and ship pers generally who have goodsshipped of a classification under the titles where the freight on the shipment would not be equal to the first class rate. For instance, the rate on meat from Richmond to Kaleigh per 100 poends is about one-thirdthe first class!

Sold by all druggists from $1 to 25c. rate, so that a merchant ordering 100 pounds of meat is required under the present rule to pay about three times the amount exacted under the old rule. At this meeting of the local associa tion Dr. Chas. Lee Smith was appoin ted a committed to take up the matter with the Corporation Commission. He put the facts before Clerk H.C.Brown who immediately wired to the Inter state Commerce Commission.and after further correspondence the gratifying answer was soon received that the commission would refuse to allow the increased rate to continue effective and that the old rule would be restored. The letter to Dr. Smith from Mr, Brown, clerk to the Corporation Com mission, is as fellows: Dr. Chas.' Lee Smith, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipts of communica tion from , , Richmond, Vra., in which they refer to proposed increase of the minimum charge on single shipments by the railroad com panies,and replying thereto I took the matter up by wire, and I am pleased to advise that the Interstate Commerce Commission has refused to allow the proposed rate to continue effective and the old rate will be restored, copy of whicb I enclose herewith. I trust this will give shippers some relief. "Very respectfully, "H. C. BROWN "Clerk." PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD. Ill, Weak and Emaciated, Restored to Health by Vinol. "Our little daughter, six years of age, after a severe attack of the meas les, which developed into pneumonia, was left pitifully thin, weak and ema ciated. She had no appetite, and her stomach was so weak it could not re tain food. She lay in this condition for weets, and nothing the doctor pre scribed did a bit of good, and we were beginning to thinkjshe would never re cover. "At this time we commenced to give her Vinol, and the effect was marvel ous. The doctor was amazed at her progress, and when we told him we were giving her Vinol, he replied, 'It is a fine remedy, keep it up. We did so, and she recovered her health and strength, months before the doctor thought she could." J. W. Flagg, Portland, Me. Vinol cures conditions (like this be- cause in a natural manner it increases the appetite, tones up the digestive or gans, makes rich, red blood, and strengthens every organ in the body.
