Take good care of your stomach.
Fully seventy five per cent of the ills that
flesh is heir to arise from deranged
stomach. A celebrated physician once
advised q patient who was constantly
complaining of headache, nervousness,
constipation and bi.iousness, to carry in
his vest pocket piece Of Turkish rhubarb
and occasionally nibble on it. We cram
our stomachs and abuse them in hundreds
of ways because of our selfish desire to
crafty various appetites. The smoker,
knowing OF the injurious effects oftobacco,
continues TO smoke. The tobacco chewcr

very simple and convenient remedy has
been placed upon the market that will
assist nature in quickly overcoming the
bad results Of pernicious habits by regu-
