Signs of Disease
The First Signs of Disease are Poor
Complexion, Weakness, Emacia-
ton and Lack of Vitality.

The first sign of returning health is
increase of flesh, strength and yigor
This weakness, emaciation and lack
of vitality simply means that certain
substances, which go to make up the
blood and nerves, have become ex'
hausted; and to renew flesh, muscle
and strength, these substances must
be restored. DR.. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food is composed of the same
kind of substances that are lacking in
the impoverished blood and nerves
when in poor health. and abundant in
the rich juices that flow through the
system when in perfect health. If peo.
pie would take this food occasionally
when in health to keep their blood
and nerves in good condition, many
spells of sickness and wasting disease
would be prevented 1t makes sick

EVERYDAY ILLS,

A cold Is one of the everyday ills OF life.
People Of all ages In summer and in winter,
are liable to catch cold, and cold is always
dangerous, because cold Is but the beginning
of catarrh OF some internal organ - head,
lungs stomach or pelvic organs. Any remedy
that will cure cold should cure the many
effects OF q cold. That's why Smiths Triple
Cure is so popular, why people are so enthu-
siastic after experiencing its wonderful cura-
tive power. Smiths Triple Cure promptly
cures colds and catarrh wherever located be-
cause it acts directly on the depressed nerve
centres, giving strength ana Vgor 70 Urea
nerves, removing the congestion OF the clreuia-
! ton and imparting renewed vitality to the
mucous membranes.
Picture to yourself the horrors OF bronchial
catarrh- the terrible cough, disgusting expec-
| toration, wheezy breath and loss OF strength, or
| the tortures of female catarrh the swollen
! bowels, shooting pains, offensive discharges,
Disbursements and burning distress, and then
realize, il you can, how thankful these suffer-
ers are for Smiths Triple Cure which has de-
| livered them out OF their troubles. Is it any
wonder that Smith Triple Cure is rapidly dis
placing all other catarrh treatments in hospi-
| tails and sanitariums and Is prescribed by the
| medical profession generally 1t meets want
felt for centuries, yet felt now in this strenuous
life of ours as never before. Smiths Triple
| Cure cures catarrh sufferers OF all ages, makes
the sick well and the weak strong; it builds up
healthy digestion, makes strong nerves and
enrches the blood. That's why all the world
is praising it, why its magical curative power
is talked about in the homes and on the streets
Smiths Triple Cure consists Of four separate
preparations, three remedies taken internally

but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in ConneC-

that they are worthy of
occasional note. From

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm

more of a secret than the
