Had all Kinds of Kidney, Blad der and Stomach Troubles Himself, But Got Rid of Them. TELLS HOW HE DID IT. "Anybody who has suffered with kidney, bladder and indigestion troubles like I did, knows it is no joke/' says the city marshal and tax collector of Winter Haven, Florida. "I had severe pains in and around my kidneys and in my bladder and sometimes would have to climb out of bed as often as 8 or 9 times in a night. It put me to a whole lot of suffering not to mention expense. My food sometimes wouldn't digest at all, arid I was getting alarmed about my condition when friends who had found out about Acid Iron Mineral started rae taking it. The pains in my kidneys and bladder disappeared and instead of crawling out of bed at all hours of the night my sleep got so peaceful and it did me so much good I know it will help people troubled like I was. I want to pass the glad tidings along to others because I know what a hard time I had locating a real remedy. My digestion and appetite got better and I can eat anything I want now. No sour stomach and in digestion troubles ou my menu any more," declares Winter Haven's city marshal and tax collector, B. F. Norman. Acid Iron Mineral is a medicinal iron compounded from ore just as it is dug in the mine. It is powerful as can be. Just a teaspoonful in a glass of water makes a powerful dose. A twelve ounce bottle selling at a dollar goes a long way and it doesn't contain a drop of alcohol or injuriour dope. It won't hurt any one's teeth. It is just a good old highly concentrated iron tonic, aid to digestion and blood medicine. The name, 'Ferrodine Chemical Corp., Roanoke, Va,, is back of it and means quality and strength. Druggists have it or a fresh gener ous size twelve ounce bottle will be sent prepaid on receipt of 81? To the Farmers of Edgefield County We are Jobson System dealers for this county, and as such are ac tively engaged in bringing the com mon sense methods of easier and more profitable farming to every nook and corner of our section. These methods and the remarka ble Jobson plow have received the endorsement of great Agricultur ists, State officials and practical farmers all over the country, and these benefits are being extended to all parts of the country at a rate that certainly proves its merit and genuine, practical advantage. No farmer can afford to overlook the opportunity of a thorough investi gation of this system before going further with his spring work. The Jobson plow has no equal in preparing the land (late or early, wet or dry) before planting, and it is also of extraordinary value in working crops and in getting ready for second crops. In fact, it is something the farmer needs every month in the year. A little investi gation demonstrates this beyond doubt. Call on us for literature and full particulars. We're here to serve you. Jobson plows now in stock. W. L. Dunovant, Edgefield; V. E. Edwards & Bro., Johnston; Tren ton Fertilizer Co., Trenton. successful revival meetings ever held in Edgefield.
