Text Epherians, 5:18. “Be not drunk- with wine wherein is excess, but be filled with the spirit.” Regardless of this and many other Scriptural injunctions, many of our people prefer being filled with the spirits (being drunken) to being fill ed with the spirit. There is only one cause and that is sin. Only one re-j medy and that is Jesus Christ. We read in 1st Cor. *5:10 where no drunkard can enter the kingdom of Mrs. R. E. Knox and sons. Masters I leaven, and surely if they desire to go there they must cease to be drunk ards. What is the effect of being drunk with wine, with beer, whiskey, brandy, chill tonic peruna. Jamaca ginger, stomach bitters, or anything intoxicating? It paralyzes the brain, keeps the soul asleep and kills the body. What does the drunkard do? He abuses those he should love, kills himself and others, fills a drunkard's grave and goes to a drunkard’s hell. What does this liquid damnation or bottled bell do? It ruins your boys, makes drunkards, paupers and crimi nals out of them. It can't do business without boys. You see when the old drunkards are al! gone it would die only for the new ones. So many run around crying snake bit and seem to be ignorant of the kind of a snake that has bitten them. Friends, it is that old serpent, the devil. Thank God the people in North Carolina found this out. . Now God has said in His word, ‘ The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent's head,” (Genn. 3:13). We read in the Bible where the king dom of God is within you. Now with the drunkard it is the kingdom of the devil within him and even* drink For Nervous, Over-worked and “Run Down” Women \V omen in nn exhausted, nervous state, due to over-work, continuous social functions or a general “run down” condition of health, often wonder why tonics and emulsions fail to benefit them. The reason is plain. Tonics and emulsions are good in their place, but they cannot build up the body until the nerves have been toned and quieted. There’s only cue remedy that can restore health to women in this ex hausted, nervous condition, because it acts directly upon the nerves. 40 AmericanHIs Elixir is the only remedy of its kind in existence. As its name implies, it’s a specific for the peculiar exhausted nervous conditions resulting from the continuous rush and tension under which Americans live. This remedy fills an important gap in the line of medicines. Rexall Americanitis supplies to the body just those elements which Nature cannot supply in sufficient quantities to meet the unnatural drain upon the nervous system. Phosphorus in soluble form is the basis of this splendid nerve food. Thousands of women have been saved from nervous prostration by the prompt use of Rexall Americanitis. To all conditions of nervous derange ment, exhaustion and debility it brings pernajment relief. 75 Cents Per Bottle The Gaffney Drug Co., Druggists. The Rexall Store. lira Story of D-EX means “king,” and the combination makes Rkxall “king of all.” We have proven time and time again that Rexall Reme dies are king-, above all others. For more than two years an expert travelled all over the world in search of extraordinary remedies. When ever he heard of a wonderful cure of any nature he did not rest until he per sonally could see the effect of the prescription used. Where he found the remedy perfect he purchased the pre scription, but it was never used as a Rex- all remedy until the propert ies had been thoroughly anal yzed by the chem ists and physicians of the United Drug Company. i SOME BIG MEN.
