" I As distressing as constipation can be in "normal people without special conditions or illnesses, chronic irreg- ularity can be extremely aggravating even dangerous In some cases. If you are on the list, you've probably been cautioned already by your own . physician to avoid harsh laxatives . and purgatives. Your doctor may have indicated concern about the "straining" that goes with constipation (particularly in cardiac, high blood pressure, and similar cases), and he may already have recommended Saraka. Saraka works naturally, effectively, the way nature intended -- your - system to work -- gently, smoothly,' without stress or harshness. Saraka is easy and pleasant to take, after meals or before bed. At J nll hi for a suave stranger who called on his mother one day, Oscar M. Hartzell probably would have ' lived out his life peacefully on an Iowa farm. The stranger told her a simple but convincing story: An organization had been formed to recover the estate of Sir Francis. Drake, which he said had been confiscated by the British government. The famous explorer's, will had been tied up in court and never probated. In the 300 years that had elapsed, the estate, had grown to vast proportions; a huge fortune awaited those who would help "Drake's heirs to force a settlement The stranger induced Hartzell's mother and many of her neighbors to invest $10 to help fight the cause. They never saw the stranger again. But Hartzell was so impressed that he spent months learning all about Drake and the Elizabethan period. He went to Chicago and, in 1922, announced formation of the Sir Francis Drake Association, whose purpose was to wrest the vast estate from the British. A bluff, hearty man who looked fresh off the farm, he went out to enlist members. He said he had located the heir to the Drake estate, and anybody who helped in the hecessaiy litigation would be handsomely rewarded. Hartzell was so unsophisticated and honest-lookithat nobody doubted him. Even he was surprised at the number of people who fell for his story. He quickly set up an organization that included seven Midwestern and four Southwesternstates. Local chapters were formed- - in numerous cities and weekly meetings were held. ng your drugstore of drug counter. For gtuuous free sample, write to Saraka, Dept F-- KenJlworth, N. J. : 2, SARAKA "natural to way regularity" 12 Family Weekly, June 29,1959 Local collectors conducted the meetings and told of Hartzell's plans to force a settlement of the great estate. Donations were accepted weekly, in any amount. The reward at final settlement, Hartzell said, would depend entirely on how much was contributed, but he hinted the return would be $5,000 for every dollar invested! Through the field agents, Hartzell fed news of his "battle" with the British to the local chapters. At first he only hinted at the size of the estate, but eventually he disclosed it would exceed 22 billion dollars. This, he said, was such a huge sum that its transfer would shake the world's money structure, so the deal must be handled secretly. The meetings grew large and fervent as members discussed their great ' wealth when the auspicious day arrived. Hartzell sent word that news of the movement had leaked out to the "money lords," who were organizing a campaign to oppose the settlement. It would be a long, costly struggle, but Hartzell would never give up. His followers trusted him implicitly and dug down for more money. They treasured their receipts signed by local collectors but never by Hartzell as they would government bonds! Hartzell's agents made weekly collections on a commission basis. He told them he wanted $2,500 a week and they could keep the rest. Nobody knows"" how much was collected, but Hartzell got his $2,500 a week. In order to push Drake's case more vigorously, Hartzell announced he was 7 going to England where he could "deal with the prime minister and parlia- . ment." He ordered the' weekly remittances sent him by American Express and all his communications were by cable. He thought that by avoiding use of the mails he could escape a mail-fraud charge. In that Hartzell was wrong, because his activities stimulated his followers to write letters. Postal inspectors heard bf his scheme and set out to gather evidence, but they ran into a wall of silence. Nobody would discuss the scheme, nor admit having contributed. IWI eanwhile, Hartzell set up luxurious quarters in London, engaged the finest tailors, and hardly would have been recognized by his followers. For nirie years', he stayed in London carrying on his scheme. Periodically, he cabled home news of his fight to force a settlement. Many dates were set, but something always intervened. He blamed the Morgan interests, the international money lords, for blocking action. The stock-mark- et crash of 1929, he said, was a direct result of the impending settlement. In time, every important world event was tied to opposition to the Drake deal. Hartzell counselled his followers to patience and secrecy and to keep the money coming. This they did. In slightly under nine years, American Express delivered $730,000 to him! But postal inspectors had not been idle. In 1931, five of Hartzell's principal agents agreed to. cease their activities. Surprisingly, this action only stimulated Hartzell's swindle.Nobody would believe the movement - |
