A Weighty Argument

for the use of the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
is that it goes to the root of the dis
ease. while other remedies strike only
ut the disease.
Notice the distinction.
For instance: Pills and purgatives
Which act quickly upon the bowels
irritate and destroy the mucous coats
of the stomach and bowels. y con-
tinucd use of such remedies produces
chronic Inflammation of the stomach
and bowels. The use of the genuine
imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is,
therefore, highly recommended be-
cause it's action is due solely to its
constitutional solvent and stimulating
properties, without irritating the
stomach. Be sure to obtain the genl-
