Post Gradaate Courses
In Medicine and
S urgevj
It has been our idea for 20 years that a doctor in order to keep posted, should attend
one of America's big clinics each year. Have attended a number in this time—3 in the
last 3 years. More real progress has been made in the last 5 years than in the 25 years
preceeding.

POST GRADUATE COURSE BY MAIL
We are unable, owing to a combination of conditions, to attend clinics this Spring.
Therefore, we receive detailed reports of all unusual, interesting cases by mail. Exami-
nation, discussion, diagnosis and treatment by the world's most famous Physicians and
Surgeons. Your case may have an exact parallel. Would it be interesting to read the ex-
act complicated symptons you have with the discussion, diagnosis and treatment by men
who have abundant opportunity to know the most there is to know about the case in
hand? ,
"MAN'S ANCIENT ENEMIES INVISABLE NO MORE."
The modern microscope, X-Ray and Laboratory show and tell much that opens the
door to the secrets of all your ills; These scientific achievements work out the case from
different angles—showing a little here and a little there that makes the picture so com-
plete that he who runs may read.
Only two things necessary to know in medicine—The Diagnosis and The Cure.
Dr. Cox will make all known examinations free of charge for the next 30 days.
Office hours 10 to 4. Calls made other hours.

vention at San Francisco, and
we instruct our delegates to the
State Convention to vote for
Governor Hobby to head the list
of our delegates to that great
convention. Also we further re-
solve that because of our admir-
ation, devotion and iove as well
as our appreciation of Mrs. Cla-
ra Dviscoe's service to hereby
endorse her as being well fitted
and capable of acting in the ca-
pacity of the Representative at
Large to the Democratic Nat-
ional convention to be held in
San Francisco, California.

gates to the State Convention to
vote for Hon. Thos. B. Love of
Dallas, for Democratic National
Committeeman from Texas.
5. That we instruct our dele-
gates to the State Convention to
vote as a unit upon all questions."
6. We heartily endorse Wil-
liam G. McAdoo as candidate for
tlie Presidential nomination of
the Democrats of the U. S. A.
and instruct our delegates to
vote for same.
Respectfully submitted,
Committee on Resolutions.
Resolved, by the Democrats of
[Limestone County in convention
lassembled that we heartily en-
dorse the candidacy of the Hon.
D. Leon Harp of Mexia for State
Senator of the 12th Senatorial
District of Texas and that we
commend him to the voters of
this district as a citizen of high
standing, a lawyer of ability and
a forward-looking loyal demo-
crat who will prove a faithful
and able representative of the
people.
We, the Democrats of Lime-
stone county, Texas, do mostl
heartily commend Ex-President
William II. Taft for his patriot-
ism as an American in that he
—
has given the policy of President
1 Wilson in the matter of the Lea-
I gue of Nations his unqualified
and hearty support; we think
i that he is too great and good a
man to be a Republican, and as
Democrats we will give in ex-
change for Ex-President Taft,
Jim Reed of Missouri, Hoke
Smith ol' Georgia, and our other
little peanut politician and throw
in Joe Bailey and all his follow-

ABOUT RHEUMATISM
People are learning that It is only a
i waste of time and money to take me-
! dlcine internally tor chronic and wus-
I cular rheumatism, and about ninety-
nine out of a hundred cases are oue
or the other of these varieties. All
j I hat is really necessary to afford re-
| lief is to apply Chamberlain's Lini-
! meat freely. Try it. It costs but 35
I cents per bottle. Large size 60 cents.
County Convention
Endorses McAdoo
(From Groesbeck Journal)
William G. McAdoo was en-
dorsed for President of the Un-
ited States by the Democratic
party of Limestone county in
convention assembled in Groes-
beck Tuesday. The endorsement
of Mr. McAdoo was embodied in
the main resolution of the con-
vention.
The convention was called to
order at 2 o'clock by County
Chairman E. A. Allen who was
elected temporary chairman. H.
L. Voorhees was elected tempo-
rary secretary and these two
gentlemen were in turn elected
permanent officers.
The Credentials Committee re-
ported representatives from ev-
ery precinct in the county except
five. There was not a delegate
instructed against the adminis-
tration.
The following named persons
were elected to represent this
county in the State Convention:
Scott Reed, Groesbeck; W. T.
Grogan, Coolidge; Dr. J. 0. Hol-
ton. Prairie Hill; Miss Lillian
McLendon, Kirk; Dr. R. B. Jack-
son, Mexia; L. S. Suttle, Mexia;
Tracy McKenzie, Mexia; Miss
TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOT-
ERS OF LIMESTONE AND
FREESTONE COUNTIES
We, the members of the Free-
stone County Bar, unreservedly
endorse the candidacy of the
Hon. R. L. Williford for District
Attorney of our District.
Mr. Williford has been actcive-
ly engaged in the practice of law
in Freestone county for more
than twenty-five years, and he
has won and merits the confi-
dence and esteem of his fellow
practitioners and the public gen-
erally. He is now in the prime
of life, mentally and physically
strong 'and active, and we feel
that no one in the District is bet-
ter qualified than he to perform
the duties of District Attorney.
We also submit the fact that
; since the creation of the 77th
'Judicial District, Limestone
| County has at all times furnish-
ed both the District Judge and
the District Att9rneys. We feel
that in fairness to all, it is now
time to pass the honors around,
and that Freestone County
should be permitted to furnish
the District Attorney for the
next term.
We earnestly commend Judge
Williford to the consideration of
the voters of our District.
Respectfully submitted,
W. R. Boyd,
Lex Smith,
W. B. Moses,
A. G. Anderson,
J. E. Woods,
J. R. Bell,
W. J. Bryant,
A. B. Geppert,

DO YOUR BEST
Everyone should do all lie can to
provide for his family and in order to
do tliis lie must keep hia physical sys-
tem m the best condition possible. No
gone can reasonably hope to do much
when he js half sick a good suare of
tlio tftile. jf you are constipated, bil-
ious or troubled with indigestion get a
package of Chamberlain'* Tablets anil
follow the plftln printed directions,
ttlid you will soon be feeling alright
niuTable to do a day's work.
Suggestion fof a Camping Trip
Buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy before leaving
home. As a rule it cannot be obtain-
ed when on a hunting, flsliing or pros-
pecting trip. Neither can it be ob-
tained while on board the cars or on
steamships and at such times and
places it is most likely to bo needed.
The safe way is to have it with you.

The Truth
About Tire Mileage
Know the mileage of your tires.
'Other-": you choose tires by guess.
Thousands of motorists, by adopting Miller
•Tires, have mcivamvi their average mileage 50
per cent to 75 per cent.
Try at least one Miller on that record, and see
what it does for you.
Large tire users nowadays subject all good
tire? to million-mile comparisons.
Millers are winning those contests. And they
have becomc the most talked-about tires in
America. ,
At the factory, Millers are constantly com-
pared with their rivab, and they constantly prove
their supremacy. The new Miller treads outwear
all others by 25 per cent.
When,super-tires are being built,
why not find them out? One test
will be a revelation. Come and

Several short addresses were
made by prominent democrats of
this and adjoining counties while
the convention was awaiting the
reports of the different commit-
tees.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolutions
Be it resolved by the Demo-
cratic County Convention held
at Groesbeck, Texas, on this the
4th of May, 1920, as follows:
That we recognize in the Na-
tional Democratic Administra-
tion. under the matchless lead-
jership of that peerless states-
! man and Democratic President,
| Woodrow Wilson, both in peace
and in war, the conduct of our
' national affairs in a most skill-
ful, honorable, patriotic and
statesmanlike manner, and that
we, as the Democratic represen-
tatives of Limestone County, do
heartily endorse such adminis-
tration; and we hereby instruct
our delegates to the State Con-
vention at aDllas to vote for an
unqualified endorsement of such
Democratic Administration.
2. That while we are very
much gratified at the overwhel-
ming endorsement of said Ad-
ministration at the Precinct con-
ventions over the State on last
Saturday, nevertheless, we de-
precate the attacks upon such
Administration by certain pred-
atory elements in politics, who
in their desperation to get to the
pie counter, have attacked ev-
erything that seems to stand in
their way; but we are greatly
gratified that the voters of Tex-
as have so overwhelmingly re-
pudiated them and their unholy
attacks upon the Democratic Ad-
ministration. .
3. That we recognize in our
Governor, Wm. P. Hobby, a dem-
ocrat of honor, integrity and of
high ability, and hia administra-
tion of State affairs, as one of,
great constructive efficiency, and
we therefore endo^ the same,
and we heartily endorse his can-
didacy for delegate at large to
the National Democratic Con-
riv
