Look at the tongue! Then hurry! Give candy
Cascarets to work the nasty bile, souring food and
constipation poison from the little liver and bowels.
MOTHERS! Clean the clogged-up places. Do away with the
bile, sour fermentations and constipation poison which is keeping your
little one cross, feverish and sick. Children love Cascarets, because
to them it is like eating candy. Cascarets act better than castor oil,
calomel or pills on the tender stomach, liver and bowels. Cascarets
never gripe, never injure, and do not disappoint the worried mothere

them in all directions. One man
who was leaving by the front door,

horse crashed past him. Racing up

later caught the horse, who belongs

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub
stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards's determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomeL His efforts to banish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quicklycorrect it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. It
is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy"and
heavy." Note how they "clear clouded
i rain and how they "perk up" the spirit*.

Catarrh
{Of The Stomachj
Is Dangerous
I "Thousands Have It and Don't]
Know It," Says Physician. Frc-t
fluently Mistaken for Indigos-!
tion—How to Recognize and]
i Treat. f
"Thousands of people suffer more or
less constantly from furred, coated
tongue, bad breath, sour burning
stomach, frequent vomiting, rumb
ling in stomach, bitter eructations,
gas, wind and stomach acidity and
call it indigestion when in reality
their trouble Is due to gastric ca
tarrh of the stomach," writes a New
York physician.
Catarrh of the stomach is danger
ous because the mucous membrane
lining of the stomach is thickened
and a coating of phlegm covers the
surface so that the digestive fluids
cannot mix with the food and digest
them. This condition soon breeds
deadly disease in the fermented, un
assimilated food. The blood Is pol
luted and carries the infection
throughout the body. Gastric ulcers
are apt to form and frequently an
ulcer is the first sign of a deadly
cancer.
In catarrh of the stomach a good
and safe treatment is to take before
meals a teaspoonful of pure Bis
urated Magnesia in a half a glass of
hot water as hot as you can com
fortably drink it. The hot water
washes the mucous from the stom
ach walls and draws the blood to
the stomach while the btsurated
magnesia is an excellent solvent for
mucus and increases the efficiency of
the hot water treatment. Moreover
the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as
a powerful but harmless antacid
which will neutralize any excess
hydrochloric acid that may be in
your stomach and sweeten its food
contents. Easy, natural digestion
without distress of any kind should
soon follow. Bisurated Magnesia is
not a laxative. Is harmless, pleasarft
ahd easy to take and can be ob
tained from any local druggist.
Don't confuse Bisurated Magnesia
with other forms of magnesia, milks,
citrates, etc., but get It In the pure
bisurated form (powder or tablets),
especially prepared for this purpose.

APPRECIATIVE WOMEN
How often is the question asked
"Are the testimonal letters publshed
in the advertisements of Lydla E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
genuine and true?" In answer to
that question we want to answer
most emphatically yes; and it is
gladness for health restored by the
use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound after weeks,
months and sometimes years of suf
fering that has prompted those
women to write such letters in order
that other women who suffer as thej
once did may profit by their experi
ence.
