WHEN YOU LEARN HEALTH SECRET New Health Message Brings Hope fo Thousands A simple truth has-won baek health for people who have never drawn a well breath in years. Learning just one fact has banished sickness in hundreds of cases where thou sands of dollars and months or years of time spent with doctors 'brought no relief ; has put people on their feet who were bed-ridden for years; has freed them from suffering and pain and made them again know the happiness of perfect health and robust body. This simple truth a special lecturer from the Mooritc Laboratories has come to tell you. No matter what you suffer from, how long you have been sick, how weak and run down you may be, how hopeless your case may seem no matter what name the doctors have given your trouble, come and hear this simple truth it will cost you nothing and it mny..be your salvation. . Scientists tell us that, our bodies can be reduced to about twenty basic chemical elements. These elements vary in quantity, of course. For instance; there is only a trace of lodiiie and Silicon, but over 31 pounds of Carbon in the average l.0-pound man. Your stomach with the help of oilier organs serves as a' laboratory which extracts these chemiealH fcpm the foods you cat. AVhcu these elements arc present in your body in their' correct proportion you arc healthy, but when through some eause or other your body is not supplied with enough of one or more of these life-giving chemicals in its correct proportion, thou trouble continences. You become weak or run-down perhaps the germs which your well body was able to fight and throw off get a foothold. Then, certain, symptoms develop and the doctor says you have this disease or that disease. The Mooritc Laboratory has demonstrated to hundreds of people that almost all diseases spring from the same cause lack of one or more of the twenty basic chemical elements. Roplaeo the needed clement iu your body and quick recovery of health and strength will frequently follow. FIFTEEN MINUTES TALK WITH ISAM MILteH "I was cured of rheumatism," says Sara Miller.

O LECTURER MAY SHOW YOU THE- WAY TO GLORIOUS HEALTH - ..... . i -.Moorite contains many of the most precious of life-giving chemicals but that is not alf. Uxperimt'iitatioiiH covering years of time and proved by hundreds of cases shows that Moorite through a remarkable action stimulates the stomach and other organs to extract the deficient elements from the food one eats so that soon after you start taking Mooritc your body regains its correct chemical adjustment, the stubborn sickness van ishes and the body recovers its old health und strength. The above seems so incredible that we can understand that at first it will seem al most impossible to you but remember, it will cost you nothing to investigate. We want you to conic and hear all of the facts from our special lecturer. We want him to tell you of the marvelous cures affected by the use of Moorite. We want him lo show you his hundreds of testimonial!) from people whose lives have been saved by the use of Moorite. Then he will say to you this: "We arc so sure of what Mooritc will do in bauishiug disease and restoring health that we will take all the chance. Try Mooritc iu accord ance with' the directions that accompany caeh package on our absolute guarantee that if it does not help you your money will be refunded.", s Special LcctuiTr From Moon to Laboratories in Attendance for a Few Days Only A special lecturer from the Moorite Cojiipany will explain how Moorite has brought glorious health to hundreds of sufferers from stomach and kidney troubles, blood im purities and other ailments. .
