from the effects Of the warm weather and are de-
bilitated, are advised by physicians to take mod
crate amounts Of whisky two or three times during
the day. In little while those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number Of "drinks"
and in time become confirmed inebriates. A bev-
erage which will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit Of debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices OF many medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create an appetite for the
intoxicating cup. The nourishing and life sup
porting properties of many valuable natural pro-
ductions contained in it and well known to medical
men have most strengthing influence. A single
bottle OF the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable
qualities. For debility arising from sickness over
exertlon or from any cause whatever, a wineglass-
full OF Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals win
strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for
wholesome food. TO all who are about leaving
their homes, desire to say that the excellent eff
fects Of DR.. Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
| evident when taken by those who are injuriously
affected by change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking supply OF these
safeguards along. For sale by all druggists 3
