Could Hardly
Work He Says
"I don't believe any man in the
Carolina® suffered more from Indi
gestion than I did. It got my whole
system out of ‘gear’ and I felt so
tired and weak I could hardly work.
A I had pains in my right side and I d
break out with boils. Sargon pulled
me out of a terrible fix. The indi
gestion, boils, and every ache and
pain disappeared and I'm filled with
hew strength and energy.’’—L. C.

Chemists Find Extra
Vr.lue In Fertilizer
When chemists recently analyzed
a sample of our oldest commercial
fertilizer they found a number of
plant loads which farmers generally
never'knew were present in the ma
terial.'
Their analysis of Chilean nitrate
of soda? the fertilizer which has been
used in this country since 1830, re
vealed potassium, calmium. iodine,
boron, jnapnesium, all essential for
plant growth—in addition to nitro
gen.
Until recently Chilean nitrate was
prized by farmer as a source of quick
acting nitrogen—nitrate nitrogen,
but the new analysis shows that the
fertilizer contains other plant foods
besides nitrogen. It is now believed
that the presence of these impuri
ties, each of which is necessary lor
normal plant growth, accounts lor
the unusual record farmers have
had with this natural nitrate. Scien
tists explain the presence of these un
common elements by the natural
origin of Chilean nitrate. It is ob
tained from deposits in a barren des
ert which covers thousands of acres
in northern Chile.

old men were so much worried about
