thing else. When travelling on long
journeys the dromedaries are in many
cases required to travel night and day
without rest, and the beasts are kept
up to their tasks by smoking cigars
The driver carries triangular piece of
wood, which is pierced at one point

lit and pressed into the hole in the same
fashion followed by man.

PITY THE GIRL
WITH NERVES
Sunken Eyes and Hollow Cheeks Tell
Story of Ravases of Dyspepsia.

Beauty depends upon health.
Wrinkles, crows feet, deep-set eyes,
hollow checks and hysteria follow closely
in the wake of disordered stomach.
OF all nerve destroying maladies, dys-
pepsia is the worst. 1t will tear your
system to pieces and make life miserable.
You cannot eat or sleep, you grow thin,
weak and sallow.
Indigestion and hot bitter fluid rising
in the throat are the first symptoms.
If you have these buy package of
Rexau Dyspepsia Tablets
CAPT. GEO W. COOK, A CIVIL VAR VET
ERAN, OF l02 MULLEf 81, DETROIT,

doctors or medicine untl | procured box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. These am pleased to
say gave me immediate relief They do all that
is claimed for them and are easy and pleasant to
take"
This is the only remedy we know of
that will positively and permanently cure
dyspepsia. 1t embodies new medical
principle heretofore unknown in the treat
ment of this disease. We have enough
confidence in it to make this offer:
Give Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets a trial.
If they don't cure you we will return
your money.

do TT TO-DAY"

The time-worn injunction, Never put
off til tomorrow what you can do to-
day" is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it todayw That is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for sew
eral days, perhaps weeks Take some
reliable remedy for it To-DAY-and let
that remedy be DR.. Bosohee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty-tive years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for few days will
cure you completely. No matter how
deep seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect cure
as it has done before in thousands of ap-
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble
