Many sufferers from nasal catarrh say
they get splendid results by using an
atomizer. For tt cir benefit we pre-
pare Ely's Liquid Cream Balm. Except
that it is liquid it is in all respects like
the healing, helpful, pain-allaying Cream
Balm that the public has been familiar
with for years. No cocaine nor other
dangerous drug in it. The soothing
spray relieves ut once and cure is certain.

CAUSE and CURE
OF APPENDICITIS
THE SIMPLE REMEDY
THAT EFFECTS THE CURE

Professor blanchard of the French Academy
of Medicine has spent great amount Of time
studying that dread disease-Appsndfcitis In
company with Professor Aetchnikof, he has
carefully examined numerous cases, and both
have reached the conclusion that the cure Is not
the knife. In more than forty cases the symp-
toms of Appendicitis disappeared after the
patients had been treated for worms.
There arc, no doubt, many persons suffering
from worms who are enormously attributing
their trouble to some other cause. A few doses
ofDr. True's Elixir are sufficient In most cases
for the complete expulsion of the worms.
The presence of theseparasites is easily recog.
nized by the following symptoms Indigestion;
foul tongue: offensive breath variable appetite;
hard and full belly with occasional gripings and
pains about the navel: heavy, dull eyes: itching
of the nose; short dry cough; grinding of the
teeth; starting during sleep; slow and frequent
fever;in children-convulsions and bed wetting
DIR. True's Elixir will not only expel the
worms, but will build up the whole system as
