Flush the Sewers.

All the authorities on the cholera
eoncede that the only way TO effectual-
" deal with il is TO flush the sewers of
our great cities and wash away the
impurities. What is true of a great
city is also true of the human system.
The avenues must be flushed at inter-
walls and the impurities washed away
IN order to retain perfect health. This
can easily and safely be accomplished
by taking the Laxative Gum Drop.
These are a mild and pleasant laxa-
tive, gentle, agreeable in their taste
and Certain in their action. They are
perfectly efficient but so free from
