ton. dyspepsia. catarrh OF the stomach.
constipation, etc.
When the mucous membrane is afflicted
either as the result of colds abuse in
diet, it is unable TO perform its functions
and, therefore, the secretions of the mem
branes are cut off or impaired and thus
your food is not digested and the air you
breathe does not properly supply the re-
quirements OF your lungs. The nasty
medicine you have taken will not cure a
case like this and you know it from ex-
perience.
Why not apply the remedy TO your in
ternal organs that you know will cure the
soreness of the skin? Milks' Emulsion is
as soothing to the membraneous lining as
cream is TO the lips. 1t Immediately heals
the afflicted parts and restores them to
normal conditions so that all the secretions
are produced and health is inevitable.
