BRUNSON, Judge of Probate, Ac’.ing Master Italian Savants' Discovery, If Truo ( H£ve Earned Them th# Gratitude of Mankind. The reviews of medicine and vet* erinary surgery speak of important researches looking to the cure of glan ders, which afflicts horses and may also attack man, who almdst Invaria bly succumbs. At the beginning of the war the spread of glanders, especially among the quadrupeds of the Third Italian army, suggested to Colonel Command ing Dr. E. Bertettl, director of the veterinary service of the army, the Idea of utilizing the victims of glan ders In making experiments In regard to its curability. Obtaining permission of the war ministry and the supreme command of the army, the experiments were be gun at Caorle in a sanitarium rigorous ly quarantined and equipped with all the latest scientific and surgical ap pi lances. Dr. Guido Finzl, head of the Instl- sute of Pathology and Med tot I Clinics of the Superior Veterinary School of Turin, assisted Doctor Bertettl. After two years they announced that glan ders was curable, not only in its chron ic stages but also in its process of evo lution. The importance of the discovery and the evidence of the results obtained led the two experimenters to ask for a commission to make practical tests of their discoveries. The results fully confirmed the facts announced by Doc tors llertetti and Finzl. flRDU STAND WAS THIS CAMUNA MAN Sometimes I got so bad that actual ly I just .couldn’t eat a thing except bread and butter and often I got so weak I could hardly stand. And then, when I would try to sleep, 1 would just toss from side to side and could not rest.” ‘This,” said .V. L. Briggs, carpeqter of 1,320 Blanding street Coluirtbia “was -my coadition only a Ittle- while back. “It started wit-h indigestion and stomach trouble about three years ago,” Mr. Briggs explained. “I didn’t haVe a chance to resi up and take it easy, or go to a health resort, .so I kept getting a little worse all the time. Of course, I took medicines, and a good many of them, too, but not one f them acted right for me or would build me up. “Finally, I got in a condition where my stomach got so bad it was sore to the touch. It was so tender that even a loose belt hurt me. I didn L dare to eat good, nourishing foort. ..othing substantial would stay on nty stomach. 1 was down to bread and butter and that would not keep up my strength I was bound to get so weak I could hardly get around.

I began to get relief in loss than two weeks and now I am a new man.” ‘With the cost of living going up and up, everyone of us needs all his strength and earning capacity, and only good health can give us that." said E. H. Drum, the discoverer of Peplax. “With the workers every where, and with the women in the htfmes, every cent counts. Hundreds of workers here will be interested m Mr. Briggs’ statement.” The hundreds who are interested in Peplax and have been sending to Columbia and Charleston for it can now r obtain Peplax right here.
