hope for health and happiness. No SEN

used for a testimonial as an admission
that he had any of the diseases for
which the preparation of "Calthos' is a
specific cure. Some irresponsible adver-
tsers are using 'made-up' testimonials,
but the Won Mohl Co. invariably declines
to make public the names or correspond

by "Calthos."

team has this season developed into a
