Most Old People
Are Constipated
The wear of years impairs
the action of the bowels. As
people grow older they restrict
their activity, neglect to take
sufficient exercise, and indulge
a natural disposition to take
things easy. The digestive or
gans become more sensitive to
the demands made upon them
and rebel more quickly.
It is of special importance
to the health of elderly people
that the bowels be kept nor
mally active. A mild, yet ef
fective, remedy for constipa
tion, and one that is especially
suited to the needs of old folks,
women and children, is the
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin sold in drug
stores under the name of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It
costs only fifty cents a bottle,
and should be in every family
medicine chest. A trial bottle,
free of charge, can be obtained
by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald
well, 450 Washington street,
Monticello, Illinois.

I CIGAR SMO 1
♦♦ ♦♦
,H From This Date on KNULL'S AMBROSIA Cigar, Manufactured H
g by C. L. Boak, Harrisburg, Pa., Will Be Sold at 6c ||
ft This is important to all smokers and we desire them to know the reason for this increase—and ♦♦
♦♦ also what cfliality of goods they may expect for their 6c. ♦♦
H The Reason — , i
♦♦ ♦♦
*+ In order to maintain the present high quality of our brands, it was necessary—in view of the *♦
♦♦ tremendous increase cost of tobacco—we either had to cut the quality (which was out of the question) ♦♦
XX so the 5c price could be held, or increase the retail price to 6c which would assure continued excellence. ♦♦
♦♦ ♦♦
H We Chose the Latter Course — S
♦♦ ♦♦
XX Because we wouldn't compromise our reputation by manufacturing an inferior product when XX
XX our present high quality brands have stood the test —both of time and of preference among .discrimi- ♦♦
X? nating smokers for over 35 years. xf
! 9< r XX
In purchasing a KNULL'S AMBROSIA at 6c remember you will be getting a6c smoke (not a xi
5c cigar for 6c) —in quality, workmanship and the lasting joy that always accompanies the smoking XT
XX of a fine cigar. ii
♦♦ .... ... 8
XX Don't feel that the Retailer is taking advantage of you in asking 6c—for the necessity for in-
XX creasing costs was created by the tobacco grower who demanded more money for his goods, conse-
XX quently the increase cost followed on down until the finished cigar reaches the consumer—who, as for
XX all other commodities, pays the bill. Much as we regret this increase in cost, there was no other solu- XX
& tion to the situation —and we knew our customers would not stand for an inferior smoke no matter XX
what the cost. X|
XX Here's a Little History XX
♦♦ ♦♦
XX KNULL'S AMBROSIA CIGAR has been made in Harrisburg since 1882—35 years—and is one of the XX
XX brands that has been a big factor in bringing to Harrisburg its reputation as a city where good cigars XX
