A STUDY OF FACES,

no matter where you GO, will
show you how many, many peo-
pie ought to be taking Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt!
There's the thin, peaked face
that tells of perverted nutrition.
There's the fat, puffy face OF
fiatu1ent obesity. There's the
otherwise pretty face that's
marred by skin disorders and
eruptions; the yellow, haggard
face of the dyspeptic; the dull,
drawn faces of sufferers from
stomach and liver and kidney
troubles.
All these people need the
Carlsbad Spr,1del Salt. 1t goes
to the root of the whole matter.
1t purifies the blood, disso1ves
distractions, clears the system,
and cures permanently, in a ma
tural way, every arrangement
of the stomach, bowels, liver and
kidneys. Beware of the many
limitations sold as improved
or artificial" Carlsbad Salt.
These generally consist only of
ordinary Seidlitz Powder and
Glauber Salt, sold by unscrupu-
lous dealers upon the reputation
of the Genuine Carlsbad Salt.
The only genuine imported
Carlsbad Salt has the signature of

ers to forward their executed quarterly vouch'
ers for payment, habtually place larger

that the United States pension agent must pay

postage; md you are instructed hereafter to
refuse such plylnent II pensioners will in

reason why the loss and Inconvenience should
not fall on them, rather than on the Unltec

When pension Is fixed 1t should not
