WHAT GOES UP

In other words, many liquid patent modi-
cines derive their effect entirely from the
alcohol they contain,
Alcohol and ediOlnes containing It, are
temporary stlmulants and not in any Sense

medicine or drug is real tonic;

The only true tonic In nature is whole
some food, thoroughly dlgested. Every

Judge Dunno held that the ease in ones.

Hanecy when he gave his decision from the
bench. The fact that the clerk had not

Judge Dunno admitted that the articles
