Putting Things Of.

Some people are continually putting
off until tomorrow what should be
done to-day. Is it so much of q habit
or downright lazinessP One of the
most general examples of such neglig-
ence may be noted in the case Of "sick"
folk. Many a man is a fit subject for
the hospital, but puts off seeking relief
until tomorrow" Many peaple are
really sick and don't know it. Take
the man who gets up as tired in the
morning as whom he went to bed, who
is all the time hungry but can't eat,
who is racked with aches and pains,
but thinks it will pass off, whose stom-
ach, kidneys and liver are constantly
crying out warning he never heeds-
until too late.
AS long as he can keep up he goes
on without realizing the risk he takes.
This world would be happier one if
it were healthier one, and if everybody
would remember the adage, "a stitch
in time saves nine" Take good
tonic, one that will tone, strengthen
and fortify the system for its daily
grind, such as Andes Great Prescrip-
ton. There would be little need for
physicians and medicines. Andes
Great Prescription, sold by Ward &
Fuhag johnson City, Tenn, at one
dollar per bottle, three for two and
half, or six for five dollars, is the
worlds greatest blood tonic, purifier,
and corrective of all stomach, liver,
kidney and bladder disorders. Ask
the dealers to give you names Of peoi
pie who have been benefited. Don't
neglect your herlth another day. Be-
gin course of this great medicine
and avoide future complications "Take
