Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN 8CIENCB
THE most 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
lar 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
Hie accumulation of dogging waste matter or poisons at vital
; >-■ organs. » »
> For centuries the world has recognised the value of health
' - springs, and medical officers now attribut the value of the fam
‘ • ous springs to the natural radio-activity of their waters. This
•v radio-activity is one of Moure’s ways of dissolving and eKmin
-ating these health-destroying poisons and building healthy eUDe
■••find- tissues.
ifcijfr is now possible for everyone, sick or well, to have peejstu
ailywand at reasonable cost, the splendid benefits of a- genuine
radio-active health spring in the home through this invention—

lEBfTS A DEVICE INTEND
ED FOR SAVING GOLD
A device for extracting- miners!
rearing sands, or “pay dirt,” from
reds of streams where they are at
xeshet or flood stages is the subject
>f a patent just issued by the United
States Patent Office to John V. Bow
ey, of Fortuna, Calif.
Troughs having screens across
Jieir open tops are buried in the bed
-ock below the stream, according to
:he patentee’s description filed with
the patent office. The “pay dirt”
moves by gravitation or is pumped
ulong the troughs to the side of the
stream, where it is in position to be
sarried.away from the stream so it
may be subejeted to extraction pro
tesses.
The two troughs or “conduits'” em
bodied in the device extend along the
bed of. the stream in a general bank
to-bank. direction. They are inclined
downwardly f.from the horizontal to
convey -th*^ material to another con
duit.-placed ait right, angles to them.
This conduit, which may parallel the
ittream I©F»a*abort distance, finally
hrings the deposit -to-a position for
removal
The speeificatebrrsvdfetcribe-the con
duits.as being made concrete, but
state they- mayshe eonstruoted.-from a
different material wifchow. dapartipg
from the -spirit-.and ncoT*e o -fthe in
vention.
“In* the 'installation of e fitteans of
this character the plant must neces
sarily mefet'. the-local-conditions,” the
patentee states. “The .preferred
method is ‘to-'construct the conduits
by excavating through bedrock and
during the, period - of- low*-water. The
device will-then be ready t'or high
water and will funfction.'to -arry off
tike fine- materials,- these materials
carrying the precious metals.”
