If it required an annual outlay of
500 90 to insure family against any
serious consequence from an attack of
bowel complaint during the year there
are many who would feel it their duty
to paa it; that they could not afford to
risk their lives, and those of their fami-
ly for such an amount. ANY one can
get this insurance for 35 cents, that
being thu price of bottle of Chamber

hood some one has died from an attack
OF bowel complaint before medicine
could be procured or a physician sum-
