Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
THE moat important thing in life is health. We cannot con
tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect
to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu
lhr elimination. This lost element of water is Radio-activity,
which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the great English physician, says “Most*
diseases are directly traceable to bad drainage in the body"—to
the accumulation of clogging waste matter or poisons at vital
organa.
For centuries the world has recognized the value of health
springs, and medical officers now attribut the value of the fam
oua springs to the natural radio-activity of their waters. This
radio-activity is one- of nature’s ways of dissolving and elimin
ating these health-destroying poisons and building healthy. ceUb
and tissues.
It is- now possible for everyone, sick or well, to- have perpetu
ally, and at reasonable cost, the splendid benefits off a ’ genuine
radio-active health spring in the home through! this invention—

The Alaska Steamship Company at

In its previous history, according to

Nine years in the federal peniten
tiary at McNeil’s Island was the senr
tence imposed upon John “Nobrains”
Alexander by Judge Cecil H. Clegg at
Fairbanks following the Indian’s plea
of guilty to a manslaughter charge.
Through John Fredson, interpreter,
Judge Clegg told Alexander that the
court was impressed by the fact that
he and his relatives were in a drunk
en condition at the time Alexander
killed his nephew, John Frank Alex
ander. While drunkenness was no
excuse for, the commission of the
crime, still where it is necessary to
prove intent the fact of drunkenness
tends to palliate the offense, Judge
Clegg said. It is the custom, he add
ed, where a plea of guilty is made, to
give full consideration to the fact in
passing sentence. The court also told
the defendant that the fact that he
is an Indiaij had been taken into con
sideration.
