When You're fifty, your body begins to

more slow and deliberate. “Not so youn,
as I u to be” is a frequent and unwel-
come. thought. Certain bodily functions
upon which good health and good spirits
so much depend, are impaired. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying complications in other organs
arise. his is Firtioulaty true with el-
derly people. If vou only know how, this

convenience and pain due to advancing

than the oil in bottles.

five drops. Take them just like you would
any pill, with a small swallow of water.
They soak into the system and throw off
the poisons which are making you old &e-
fore your time. They will quickly relieve

Your Favorite Food
Without Any Fear
Kramer Says: “Eatonic”
Acids, Gas, Heartburn, Food Repeating
and Stomach Miserics
‘What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach! That duil,
heavy, “bloated” sensation that follows
a full meal, robs good living of half
its pleasures. Is there any way out
for you sufferers with stomach weak-
ness?
Yes; H. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has found a sure,
quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
“sour stomach,” heart-burn, formation
of painful gases, “bloating,” etc., ete.
He calls his stomach relief HA-
TONIC, and it certainly is making a
wonderful record. Countless thous-
ands of people who formerly ap-
proached their meals with dread, now
eat their fill of their favorite foods
without fear of the after-effects.
Mr. Kramer says: “My EATONIC
tablets are the solution of the age-old
problem of indigestion and all forms
of stomach misery.
Rids Weak Stomachs of
“BEATONIC neutralizes the acids,
that form the painful gases, “sweet-
ens” the stomach, and gives the gastric
juice a chance to do its work as it
should.
“To promote appetite and aid diges-
tion, take EATONIC tablets—one or
two after each meal. They are per-
fectly harmless. Eat them just like
candy.
“For distress after eating; sour,
“gassy,” acid stomach, vertigo, nausea
and belching, and that wretched,
puffed-up, “lumpy” feeling, after over-
eating; there is nothing to compare
with EATONIC Tablets.”
All druggists sell EATONIC — 50¢
for a large box. Watch out for imita-
tions. The genuine bears the name
EATONIOC on each tablet—guaranteed
to do sll that is claimed; or if your
