MANY WHO ARE SUFFERING


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 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 appetite for the
intoxicating cup. The nourishing and life sup
porting properties of many valuable natural pro-
ductons contained in 1t 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 ovel
exertion or from any cause whatever, wineglass-
full OF Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appetite fol
wholesome food. To all who are about leaving
their homes, we desire to say that the excellent ef-
fects OF DIR. Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
evident when taken by those who are iniuriously
affected by change of water and diet. No person
