In most instances bad complex
ion Is due to neglect of the little
things in life that are essential TO
natural beauty. All manner OF slig-
gestions have been offered by skin
specialists, but all agree that the
only sure way sto secure clear,
healthy complexion Is ~ conform
closely as possible 10 the laws of
nature. To preserve your fresh
mes and beauty, you should live sim
ply, take plenty of outdoor exercise,
drink quantities OF water and be
careful of your diet. Remember,
too, that beauty Is good deal more
than skin deep. 1t is blood deep,
ana depends also upon your liver,
your kidneys and the activity of your
bowels. For nearly two years now,
they have been telling The ladies' OF
the beneficial effects that Laxak0ia
Tonic Tablets have ON the skin.
The principal ingredients in them
are cascarin and dandellon and ev-

his life to save two OF his patients.

child. He found them suffering from
diptheria of a grave kind. The mother
had contracted the terrible malady
whilst nursing her little son.
The cases w're so grave that Dr.
Rabuel saw that even the application
of the antidiptheritic serum would be
useless. There was only one other way
of saving the mother and her child
to attempt TO rid them Of the false
membrane that was suifocating
them.
With devotion that was equal to
his courage lie bent down pressed his
mouth to that of the child and sucked
The same course was gone through
in the case Of the mother. The doctor
saved the patients lives, but II was
fat the expense OF his own life. Al
though he had taken the usual anti
septic precautions. he became i'll of

later in the arms Of his wife.
