About 6'0 per cent of the world's
upply of cotton is gTOwn in America.
Cotton is indigenous to all tropical 1
nd semi-tropical countries.
Sea Islands, grown off the Atlantic
oast of the United States are the
nest cottons in the world.
Boll weevil has about destroyed thej
sa island cotton industry.
Boll weevil first appeared in the
'nited States at Brownsville. Texas,
18.02.
A single pound of cotton has been
pun into a single thread more than

"Indispensable"
After 9 Years
of InternaJ
Baths
/
Mr. Addison 1. Williams. l)ox 1054.
Sanford. Fla.. writes Tyrrell's Hygienic
Institute ?>r New York as follows:
"Regarding tin- *.I. it. L. Cascade,*
i feel it is one of the indispensable
articles and should be in every home.
I have not taken $10 worth of medicine
since obtaining it?about nine
years."
You can be free from biliousness
and constipation, with nil the ills
which they produce, by an occasional
internal bath. The "J. C. L. Cascade"
administers these scientilieally, it
being an invention of Chas. A. Tyrrell.
M. D., of New York, for 2." years a
specialist on internal bathing.
By the proper application of Nature's
cure?warm water?it keeps
the lower mtesune irce v. an pwsunous
waste, and permits every function
to work in harmony and without clogging?hence
makes one consistently
bright, capable and well.
A. J. Maihias will be glad to show
and explain the "J. B. L. Cascade"
to you, and will also give you free or
request an interesting and authoritative
book, "Why Man of To-day Is
Only 50 per cent. Efficient," written
by Dr. Chas. A. Tyrrell.
Ask for it to-day while it is fresh
in your mind.
