In Florida, nearly GVrTybOdyis usIr" SchcncE'E
Mandrake Pills, for the climate Ia more likely To
produce bilious habits than moro northern ihu-
tndcs. It's a well established fact that naiIvgs

days. They pay no attention to 1t, and hence u
lava tho foundation for another and another still,
until the lungc arc diseased beyond all hopO for

Ny advice 10 persons whose Lungs arc affected

So far ~ the Mandrake Pills ART concerned,
everybody should keep supply Of them GU
