Logical Wa yto Build Strength
Most Tonics Work Indirectly Father John's Medi
cine Gives Direct Results
Many so-called "Tonics" are merely stimulants of appetite
r some of the digestive functions. In themselves they con
lin no tonic properties whatever but depend wholly for their
fifect upon whatever the patient may happen to eat.
Father John's Medicine does its work in a different and
lore logical way. It is itself of great food value—in fact scien
sts have proved beyond question that a teaspoonful of Father
ohn's Medicine is six times more nourishing than the same
uantity of pure milk, seven and one-half times more nourish
lg than the same quantity of oysters, five times more nour
shing than cod fish.
This real food in Father John's Medicine is in a form more easily
iken into the system and made over into new flesh and strength than
le same amount of food taken as diet. The system that is weakened
id run down readily absorbs the rich, pure nourishment contained in
ather John's Medicine and that is why so many people (tain strength
id flesh steadily while they are taking this old-fashioned, whole
>me, family medicine. The absolute guarantee that Father John's
ledicine contains no alcohol or dangerous drugs in any form makes it
f even greater value as a food tonic for every member of the family.

Ice Cake Theory
of Storkerson Is

MOTHERS! Clean the clogged-up places. Do away with the

to them it is like eating candy. Cascarets act better than castor oil,
