ton Wrapped Within 1t.

ton Wrapped Within 1t.
I will write dull but instructive para
graph. 1t begins with list of bad things,
to wit: rheumatism, govt, bronchitis, liver
complaint, kidney complaint, affections of
the skin, asthma, all forms of nervous all
ments, pneumonia, epilepsy, insanity
well, that will do. The question is, what
is the real cause of these ailments? AS the
children say, what ''mdkeS'' them? The
answer is, Poisons Manufactured in the di-
gestive system. Cure the indigestion and
you cure the fruits of it. That is the
truth, and it is common sense also. Fail
to cure the cause and you may doctor
any of its consequences through a pain
cursed lifetime, always in vain. ALI con-
tagious or infectious diseases select their
victims from people weakened by bad
digestion, or by insufficient nutrition.
If you don't believe me ask the plague
and cholera experts. At present the lead
ing med.ciqe indigestion, chronic dys-
pepsia, sluggish liver, incompetent kid
neys and slow cell-transportation is Calcura
Solvent, a discovery from the medical
workshop of DIR. David Kennedy, of Kings
ton, N. Y. 1t is tremendous fighter of
disease, and usually conquers. 1t is one of
The helo things that make men wonder.
The sick praise it with open mouth and
thankful hearts. Tell the druggist to give
You bottle of Calcura Solvent, DR.. Ken
nedy's new Notwithstanding else.

increase In such children of IA per cent.

There is no quality of character that
gains more admiration and respect
than that which enables a person to
form definite purpose and then con-

To possess and use this quality, it is
necessary to be in sound mental and
physical condition, to have an album
dance of iron in the blood, which
gives stamina, vigor and endurance.
