FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS AND FEVEl
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 out 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 Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
