A MISTAKE CORRECTED

It is q mistake tc combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver medi-
cines, because the stomach is not always
out of order when the liver is. or vice YER
ga while 1t is true that these organs are
so closely related that when one is al
fected the other Is likely to be also,
still there are times one Is affected and
the other il not. 1t is serious error
to give a liver medicine combined with
a stomach medicine when the stomach
only needs treatment, and it is not nee.
essary to treat The stomach when the
liver only is disordered. Rydaie,s meth
cd is the most sensible one. He does

q credit abroad which can be speedily

The latter have to some extent suf-
