The DRINK oFDRINKs.

Sparkling Kolafra Is. K serves all
the ends of light beverage perfectly.
Among drinks ii is what the American
Beauty rose is among flowers. 1t pleases
the senses and quenches thirst US moth
ng else will. 1t is absolutely non-in-
toxicating and yet it is stimulating. It's
stimulation is, however, peculiar TO
itself. 1t is akin to that of coffee, yet
decidedly diGcrent-more agreeable
and prolonged; producing none of the
harmful effects of tea or coffee.
S. K. is delightful and hoalthful,
giving sense of we'll being not deriv-
able from any other drink.
1t should be served ice cold.
THIRSr-RELIEVING QUALITIES.
Sparkling Kolalra allays thirst with
much less fluid than any other drink
not excepting water. This is a very
important consideration in hot weather
when because ordinary drinks have
but momentary eiiect the tendency
| is to imbibe too much iluid-a custom
which produces an unplea ant sensa-
ton in the stomach and interferes With
| the digestion. For this reason one
glass of S. K. does more good than hale
q dozen of almost any other beverage.
| The effect stays with you. You have
Longer time between drinks" the
throat and mouth remaining cool and
moist during the interval. This quality
alone gives distinguishing character
to Sparkling Kolafra.
It also vitalizes and exhilaratcs,
counteracting the soase Of lassitude aud
depression incident to the heated term.
Briefly, Sparkling Kolafra possesses
distinct properties which are easily re-
cognizable on trial, and commend it as
something especial and excellent among
the world of drinks.
@"S. K" is never drawn nom soda
fountains. Sold only lie bottles.

discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
