Some Reasonable Advice

1t may be a piece of superhuous a6-
vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in a supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
sure to be needed before winter is
V and much more prompt and sat
isfactory results are obtained when
taken as soon as a cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in
the system, which can only be done
by keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is so widely known and so al
together good that no one should hest
tate about buying it in preference to
any other. 1t is for sale by The Sec
ond Class Drug Store.

a Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat oil
the good food you want but don'tover-
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need q good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing OF fitness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.
