but invigorates the lining Of the intestinal
canal, when weakened by constipation or the
unwise use OF violent purgatives. The stom-

reinforced and aroused to healthful action
by this benetcent tonic and corrective, and

wholesome medicinal stimulant, and owing
its efficacy to botanic sources exclusively,
II is the remedy best adapted to household
