The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves Is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold

OF course, their rejection of religion
on such grounds was unphilosophical
and unwise. I am told that many of
the United States army desert every
year, and there are many court-mar-
tials every year. Is that anything
against the United States government
that swore them in? And if soldier
of Christ deserts, is that anything
against the Christianity which he
swore to support and defend? How do
you judge of the currency of a coun-
try? By counterfeit bill? Now, you
must have patience with those who
have been swindled by religious pre-
tenders. Live in the presence of others
a frank, honest, earnest Christian life,

Saviour upon whom your hopes de-
