Five years ago few perdns IN America
had heard of RaIsa0N's TOnic
Liver pills and Ramona
Tonic Pellets. To-day they
are used in thousands of households.
What has worked this change?
-Four different things,
/. This is not simply liver pill
but an cntire treatment Il
is complete substitute for physi-
clan in liver troubles
e. 1t costs only 25c., when tho
same medicines If purchased separately
would cost so to Use.
3. The remedy works gently and
not violently, It does not arouse a
feeling of weakness but makes you
feel steadily better from the first day.
4. 1t is absolutely harmless Sick or
we'll, it can not be a bad thing to
take, as it purifes the blood and
tones up the whole system.

Mr.. Lodge closed his scholarly abb

eve believe in maintaining, defend
ing, and uplifting the standards Of
living Of the American people, because
upon those standards rest our civili-
cation and the onward march Of our
race. Men have struggled up from
the darkness which shrouds their be-
ginnings by slow and strenuous en-
deavor. They have fought their way
to the light through many defeats and
with much sore labor. They have not
done it by any doctrine Of 'laissez

unresting effort. The same force
which has created great nations has
created civilization, and great nations
are the denial Of the let alone theory.
