Every man to his trade" is an old
adage and is familiar to nearly all of us.
1t is brief in its wording but CONVEYS a
great deal in its meaning. 1t is merely a
terse way of saying that man who
makes a speciality of any one thing
knows more about. and is more prof.
Gent in his particular speciality than any
one else could be. 1t is for this reason
that we all seek specialist when we
have any serious physical ailment. 1t is
tor the same reason that The Rvdale
Kennedy Co., went to one of the best
specialists in the T. S. on liver and in
teStinal troubles, professor in a Colum-
bus, 0. Medical College, and secured
from him a prescription from which
Rydale's Liver Tablets are made. This
specialist knew more about liver troubles
than a doctor who treats all diseases:
and that is why Rydale's Liver Tablets
relieve and cure more quickly all liver
troubles than the ordinary liver pills and
powders
