Loiik Hidden Secrets of Nature Now I'noovered. Everyone knows, or has heard, of the mysterious properties of radium and the amazing things that scientists are accomplishing with this wonderful mineral light that has been hidden from the world for centuries. Nor is radium the only marvelous mineral altevlative that has been discovered in late years. At Hickory, Miss., a man owned a piece of land through which ran a stream of strange, brown, pungent wa? ter. Every neighbor knew of this stream and its souice but no one ever expected to see it become instrumen? tal in the discovery of a mineral which would pass in healing power ev? ery Known drug in the treatment of Pellagra, Indigestion, Rheumatism and all forms of blood and stomach diseases. An old darkey was hired to drain and ditch this land so it could be cul ticated. This old darkey was a mass of sores and was so rheumatic he could only work occasionally. He had to stand in this water. His feet and ( hands were wet with it day after day I In a few days he marvelled to see his sores getting better and his rheuma? tic pains lessening. By the time the ditch was finished the 'darkey was a l well man. The news spread like wild? fire. It was looked upon as a miracle. The mineral through which this wa? ter ran was analyzed and found to contain seven mineral acids of startl? ing potency. A strong solution was extracted from the mineral and found to possess marvelous curative powers. The preparation has been put on the market under the name of Sulferro Sol, meaning Sulphur-Iron solution. > The most remarkable eradication of disease has followed the introduction 'of this marvel remedy everywhere. [This week the. Identical process of extraction will oe demonstrated at |sibert's Drug Store and the remedy will be placed on sale in every drun store in Sumter. The Murray Drug k?d\, arc the State-wido distributors for South Carolina. , Sulferro-Sol is being demonstrated this week at Sibert's Drug Store and is sold and recommended by them, also all other druggists in Sumter and vicinity.
