THE OLD CLOCK.
1900.

The Timepiece That Has Done Duty So
Long. Gives Ont.
What story the clock tells as it
ticks, ticks, ceaselessly measuring out
the seconds of time unerringly and
diligently through sunshine and storm.
The timepiece keeps faithful watch
through the stiffness of the night and
the noise and din of day, always faith
full, never ceasing as long as its works
are kept in order. There comes time,
however, when the old clock ceases its
tick, the old heart stops its beating, and
the once faithful hands do not point
Alright.
A little oil, a few screws frightened by
one who knows its needs, and again the
familiar tick is heard, precise and regu-
lar as of old.
The human body is but clock con-
structed by the Divine Maker. How
faithfully the heart beats, how the blood
runs from one portion of the body to
the other, just as mechanically as the
working of the clock.
There comes tine, however, when
the force that drives the human clock
becomes less strong, gradually the ticks
grow fsinter as the days go by and
ripen into months and the months into
years. The human clock must be re-
paired at once. 1t won't do to wait
until it ceases to tick, for then it will
be forever too late.
The blood that furnishes all the life
in the human clock, in time becomes
impure and clogs the liver, and the
bowels and stomach refuse to do their
work. Like the mechanical clock, it
must be cleaned and repaired.
Remove the cause of the trouble and
the great human clock will run on as
before. The discovery of a new CON-
blnatlOn of remedies that will purify
the blood, tone up the entire system
and place the liver, stomach ard bowels
in natural, healthy condition has been
a boon to suffering mankind. This
new remedy is called Knox Stomach
Tablets. They make strong, healthy
men and women out of invalids and
bring back the glow of health to the
cheek.
If unable to secure them of your
druggist send fifty cents to the Knox
Chemical Co., Battle Creek, Mich, to-
gether with your address and that of
your druggist and full sized package
will be mailed free.
