The Chinese Boycott.

While the United States is worrying
over the Chinese boycott and the seri-
GUS decline in our exports to the orient,
the fact has escaped general attention
that Great Britain and other countries
have also suffered, but no to so great
an extent. The fact that you have. suf-
fered for years from ailments of the
stomach, liver and kidneys or bowels
is no reason why you should continue
to suffer. Just get a bottle of Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters today from any
druggist, grocer or general dealer and
take a dose before meals and at bed
time, and see how much good it will
do you. You'll find it absolutely pure.
and our guarantee to that effect is on
every bottle. It will cure poor appe-
tite, belching, sour risings, dyspepsia,
indigestion, chills, colds, female ills,
backache, or malaria, fever and ague.

Hunyadi Janos Is.

\ large proportion of humanity suf-

constipation in one form or another.
How really few there are who do not
know the distress, pain and general
discomfort resulting from failure of the
bowels to move regularly. And does
not this suffering seem foolishly I'M
necessary when We realize it is due
simply to ignorance of the proper and
simple remedy-HUNYADI JANOS-
the great Natural Mineral Laxative
Water. not only the most efficacious
remedy but also the most inexpensive.
The cost of a large bottle is but tri-
file and it contains many doses. One
dose is one-half a tumberful drunk on
arising in the morning. The result is
always certain. quick and thorough. \
