Uncle Sam Refinery No.
on the Banks of
the Missouri, Wearing Completion
From Northern Texas to tb Great Lases Uncle Sam's company, backed by the
common people of the Nation, will secure and maintain supremacy of the oil trade
regardless of the dirty millions of the Oil trust. One hundred and twenty-two more
distributing stations will be established during the next six months In Kansas, Okla
homa, Arkansas, Missouri, Northern Texas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. j
Refinery No. 1, at Cherryvale, Kas., now In successful operation. Refinery No.
3, on the banks of the Missouri by Atchison,' now partly built and being rushed to
completion, will be ready to refine oil In less than 100 days. Lands secured and
specifications submitted for Refinery No. 2 at Tulsa, I. T., on the banks of the Arkan
' iu, where foundation work will commence In ten days.
Cash paid In for stock and refined oil for the past three days averaged a little
better than TWO ($2,000) THOUSAND DOLLARS per day. FOUR (1439.000)
HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS now paid In cash, and F1VK
THOUSAND (5,400) FOUR HUNDRED stockholders now enrolled, besides public sen
timent Is with the company. Strong effort will be made to secure the BALANCE of
TEN THOUSAND STOCKHOLDERS and ONE MILLION DOLLARS CASH during
the next 60 days. This Is a poor man's company, fighting for principle as well ss
financial gain. If you are in favor of a square deal in the oil fields, better Invest
your mite and use your influence for the Uncle Sam Company, as it Is the only for
midable foe to oil trust oppression west of the Appalachian mountains.
From the Northern Indian Territory Oil fields, clear across Kansas 'from its
southern to northern border a main trunk pipe line will be completed to the banks
of the Missouri st Atchison, wbere, by light steel barges, the great trade centers of
Northern and Central Missouri valley states will be reached by river free from oil
trust railroads, while from the great refinery soon to be built on the banks of the
Arkansas at Tulsa, Indian Territory, a refined til line will be built down the Arkansas
river to Fort Smith, where barges will be load and taken to Little Rock, Arkansas,
and on down to the Mississippi river to the Gulf and Uncle Sam sold all over the
lower Mississippi valley states where Uncle Sam already has over ONE THOUSAND
stockholders to defend Its rights and more joining every hour.

This company does not intend to even try to make one-half of
the wrongful gains now being stolen by the methods of the present
oil trust, however, there can be great profits earned without working
a narasnip on any one. i rtis snail re tne policy or Uncle Sam. You
can depend on a square deal If you Join our band and help the good
fight along. There is no reason why Uncle Sam with the three re
fineries forming a chain of refineries from the Arkansas to the Mis
souri cannot In a very short time build up' to ' over EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND barrels of crude oil daily. The company will go forward
very fast in a very few months and then the stock will all be sold and
will grow in value by leaps and bounds while you sleep.. The time
to get in is now. We wish to state further that It is probable for this
stock to go past THREE DOLLARS per share. At any rate the
future is a bright one and worthy the consideration of any business

of prominent physicians, and even drug-
giats themselves, there are few drug stores
In New York City where drugs which have
a full medicinal value are used in com
pounding prescriptions. Cheaply ground
orugs, wnoae strength is unknown and
whoa action canot be depended upon, are
used. Patterns, in consequence, do not re
spond to the medicines prescribed, and the
physician Is at a loaa to account for it.
He doea not know whether it is because of
the patient's condition or the fault of the
drugs, and he is powerless to cope with it
The variation la the strength of drugs
sold In New York la so great that the lives
of persons are jeopardised. Acording to
one druggist, this condition Is due to tbe
commercialism which has crept 1st the
business. Druggists are buying cheap drugs
and few of them are equipped so that they
can tell whether or not they are getting
drugs which are capable of producing the
results expected of them.
As a result, many physicians are going
back to the method of tbe old-fashioned
country practitioner of carrying their med
icines with them, prepared by ehemlsta on
whom they can depend. So accustomed are
physicians ta the existing drug conditions
that when they learned of the reaulta of
the testa of a number of drugs made by tbe
Department of Health thev- manireatiMi n

tneir own experiences.

Can You Afford to Turn Down an' Investment In This
Growing Enterprise?
As you will notice by the following quotations on stock, so
many shares, when sold, will pay for so many rods of main trunk
pipe line. It is very Important to complete this pipe line, and a
special effort will be made to have it completed by the time the big
river plant is ready to receive oil. Of course, if the line is not en
tirely completed the company will use tank cars from the nearest
railroad station at the end of the completed pipe line, and make the
big pipe line a big payer from the word go every mile of pipe line
completed knocks off that much freight. We think that we can
pay for TWENTY MILES of this pipe
we base our calculations on the results from the past, when the com
pany was not one-hundredth as strong as it is today. The offer on
stock is as follows, and following each quotation is the number of

Investigation of tbe uae ot pour and adul
terated druga.
It was an astonishing condition of things
which the Department of Health found
when It began to investigate the druga used
In the city. Tbe bead of ita drug depart
ment visited eight of the leading wholeaale
druggists, supplying, according to the de
partment. " per cent of the drug stores
of the city. "1 asked," said he, "for the
beat drugs they had." Samples to the num
ber of ISO of such druga aa aconite, bella
donna, digitalis, lobelia, powdered senna,
saffron and rhubarb were secured. Of theaa
the aconite, belladonna, digitalis, lobelia,
saffron and powdered aeuna have been
tested. Not one of these proved to be up
to the standard msintalned by the Depart
ment of Health. Owing to careleeaneea In
grinding and, In the caae of aaftron, which
sells at about HI a pound, and therefore
tempts to adulteration, to tbe presence of
artificially colored flower' petals which
looked like those of the daisy, there was
not one which could be depended upon for
strength. Age had also affected some of
thera.
Better OrladlaeT needed.
The "active principle," aa the druggists
call It, In each drug Is not distributed
evenly and to a certain Oneness. Standards
of fineness have been established tor differ
ent drugs. They must be ground neither
too fine, for they may be too strung, nor too
coarse, for they may be weak, or uneven
in strength, or absolutely Inert.' Screena
containing different numbers of meshea to
the square Inch are uaed to determine the
fineness, in the rake of lobelia, for iu
atance, It should be ground so that all of
the particles will pass through a screen
having fifty openings to the square Inch.
About a third ot the lobelia obtained passed
through a screen of 100 meahea, while some
of It would not pass through a, screen finer
than M. All the other druga had this un
evenness, so that one could not be sure
whether he had the right strength or not,
or whether or not there was any of the
"active principle" in tha drug. The normal
doae for aconite, which Is used to reduce
fevers, is shout tea drops. In the samples
examined by tha department some were so
weak that twenty-twe drope would have
been required of the tincture In order to
obtain the atrength of a normal doae. la
other words, a doctor prescribing
a normal dose would have ob
tained lesa than half ef the "active prin
ciple" which he wished to give. The life
of a child might depend upon tbe quick re
duction of a fever. In such a case be might
lose the life because of tbe weakness of bla
medicine. The alxteen samples of bella

mal dose of the former would be eight
drops,, of the latter about fifty drops. Some
of the samples looked like weeda, hayseed,
tea leaves and sawdust. ' s
digitalis Is used ss a stimulant In heart
disease. The samples ranged in "active
principle" from 30.44 per cent down to 26. 5
per cent, the normal being 36.08 per cent.
Tha character of digitalis and some other
drugs, according to the Health department,
ia aucb that they deteriorate and become
inert In courae of time. Digitalis should
be renewed at least every year. It is
sometimes adulterated with a beautiful but
worthless leaf. There seems to be a ten
dency among many druggists In replenish
ing stock to mix freah material with the
old.
It did not require the evidence of the
Department of Health's testa to convince
some physicians of the untrustworthlness
ot many drug stores. "It often happens,"
aald Dr. Herman M. Biggs, "that we do
not get the reaulta expected from digitalis,
which is prescribed for heart dlseaae. Gela
tine coated pills are often of no value.
For some reason they do not dissolve, and
the patient secures no benefit from them
at all. "Whether it Is because they have
been In atock for a long time Or because
the gelatine Is of a poor quality, I do not
know. Oftentimes a druggist will have a
stock of tableta of various mixtures on
hand. He gets a prescription which corre
sponds to the contents of one of his tab
leta. It la to be put In capsules. . He
pulverises the tablets, which may be old,
and puts the powder in the capsules. Bella
donna and digitalis deteriorate rapidly. If
a druggist is perfectly honest he will be
constantly- getting freirh drugs; if not be
will let his old atock serve."
IHsappelatlasT Reswlta.
The careltesness, to say the leaat, of some
druggists and the intentional aubstitutlon
of drugs which others are guilty of are
Illustrated by a couple of Instanres re
lated by Mr. Ami reus. In one a child
was sent to s drug store on the West side,
uptown, to have a prescription filled. The
child did- not go to the drug store where
the prescription had been filled first. This
did not fessa the druggist te whom the
child, went, however. He look the bottle
over the counter and filled It with some
thing, probably the compound which was
represented by the corresponding number
contained la his book and returned the
bottle to tha child without changing the
label in the least. The members of the
family who were to take tbe medicine did
not receive the expected benefit, but.

In Conclusion.
The charter name of this company is "The Uncle Sam Oil Com
pany." Its authorized capitalization is TEN MILLION SHARES.
Par value, one dollar each. Every si are of stock draws the same
amount of dividends as any other share. The officers of the company
are: James Ingersoll, President: J. H. Ritchie, Vice President, and H.
H. Tucker, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer. These men also

the complexion of a handsome woman. An
Eighth avenue masseuse had a prescription
for improving the skin, which she had pro
cured from a physician. She took it to a
druggist and had It filled. She applied
some of the concoction to the face of a
patron, a woman who had a beautiful skin.
The woman's beauty was ruined for a
time by an unpleasaut eruptlou. Analysis
of the compound proved that the druggist
had used aa the base a drug worth about
one-sixth of that called for in the pre
scription. "I presume," aaid Dr. Eugene H. Porter,
state commissioner of health, "there is
hardly a drug store In the state in which
you will not find medicines of poor quality,
and many Inferior druga, rendered so by
ignorant or Indifferent preparation. Many
druggists cannot help themaelves. 'They
are not in a position to know. They think
the goods are all right. A first-claaa phar
macist using large quantities of drugs
ought to know something about them, how
ever. I think the two questions, pure
drugs and the control of patent medicines,
are very important." New York Tribune.

The above picture was taken near Neosho Falls, Kas., about two weeks

river. At this point it is Just about sixty miles due north of Cherryvale.
Since then about four miles more of the main trunk pipe Hue has been
completed. Completing of this pipe line to the Missouri river will make
this company Independent and free. Better send down a hundred dollars
or so and help the good work along. This company is making a square
flgkt as can be proven from the books. Money Invested goes to buy more
pipe and more refinery material. Every day more pipe line will be com
pleted until the company has over 300 miles In main trunk lines and

single share from a single one of the above-named officers under
$1.00 per share; in fact, their stock is not for sale at any price. The
management Is the same now as In the beginning the old guard

is In touch with over TEN THOUSAND investors by special letter re
port. This announcement will appear in the principal and influential'
papers in the United States will be read by over TWENTY, MIL
LION PEOPLE. The company is a, straight, legitimate enterprise,
one that is already a far greater success than even the most enthu

finery at Cherryvale, and different views of the oil fields, which it.,
will send with other Information to investors who wish further in
formation. The company is so well advertised and has so many
working for It that, without a doubt, the stock will soon be sold, and
investors would do well to not delay in securing the stock you want,
as the company Is one of great merit, and the price of the stock, with
the assets back of it, offers every man an Investment that he must
admit is good, and far above the ordinary proposition. You will
probably never have an opportunity again to invest with a company
like this. It was born of necessity, on account of the black list by
the oil trust of certain producing properties In the Cherryvale oil
fields. It is backed by influential men in both state and nation, and
if you Join our band, now over five thousand strong, you will be
treated fairly, and. we sincerely believe, will secure stock now at
twenty cents per share, or one-fifth of its par value, that will go to
par In less than a year. The company realizes that it must offer a
great investment and great Inducements to raise money as fast as we
need it. but will make it all back in a few months with main trunk
pipe line and river refinery completed. We solicit your investment
in good faith, and the statements made herein we can back with
