Sage for Darkcninu the Hair.

OOS~ W. la N~fbi4 wv
There Is nothing new about the
idea OF using cage for restoring the
color of ne hair. Our great grand
mothers kept their locks soft, dark
and glossy by using sage tea
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on dull, faded appearance. they made
a brew of sage leaves and applied 1t
to their hair with wonderfully bene-
fetal effect. Nowadays we don't have
to resort to the old-time, tiresome
method OF gathering the herbs and
making the brew This is done by
skillful chemists better than we could
do 1t ourselves, and all we have to do
is to call for the ready made product,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, contain
| ing sage in the proper strength. with
the addition Of sulphur, another old,
/ time scalp remedy. This preparation
is sold by all first class druggists for
soc. and s1.00 a bottle, or is sent direct

The Cub Reporters Effort.

Waterloo Reporter: The cub report
ser who was sent to write up the doc
tors convention turned in paragraph
that sounded something like this:
'sThe only ethical method for treat
ment of fractured spinal meningitis
of the cerebral hemorrhage is through
the endocarditis and pulmonary arter-
les without an incision in the clayicle
by the phalanges. or in other words 1t
may be combined with a spiced larynx
and aorta together with confusion Of
the vertebrate and femnr." That kind
of junk may be all right as a souvenir
of the convention, but it hasn't much
real news value.

NERVOUS DYsPEPTIcs
Take Sensible Remedy and be
Cured to Stay Cured.

The greatest folly of today is COM
mitted by people who take digesters
to cure indigestion.
Digests simply encourage a lazy or
tired out stomach to shirk its work by
doing most of its work for it.
And as every chronic dyspeptic
knows from experience, digesters soon
lose their efficiency and leave the
stomach in more dilapidated condi-
ton than ever.
The stomach must be strong enough
and energetic enough TO expand and
contract with sort of churning move
ment SO as to mix the digestive juices
with the food. If your stomach isn't
! strong enough to properly churn the
food, you will have indigestion until
! it gets strong enough
And Wilkinson & Co. states to every
+ dyspeptic in Keokuk that the have a
remedy named Mona that will make
the stomach strong enough to churn
and digest any kind of food; that will
cure, and is guaranteed to cure indi-
gestion or money back.
/ Mona tablets only cost so cents a
large box at Wilkinson & Co. They
will turn an old, worn out stomach
into new one in a short time. They
i give quick and joyful relief from heart
burn, heaviness after eating, sour
food, belching of gas. sick headaches,
and other distressing stomach condi-
/ tons.
They stop all nervousness, give you
a normal appetite, and make you enjoy
your meals. They make life happy,
eyes right, and complexion clear.
Druggists in every town in America
sell Mona, and Wilkinson e Co. are
the authorized agents in Keokuk.
Try Booths Pills for that down and
out" feeling, constipation and lazy
liver You'll chuckle with satisfaction.

There is form of an@mia, or blood.

Miss Esther e. Durbin, of 2121-2
Main street, Davenport, Iowa, saws:
When was a school girl / became
afflicted with anamia and grew so weak
that could scarcely walk. There was
a craving for starch and / ate great
deal of it. l was pale and thin, had no
ambition and was subject to hysterical
att. ks. My breath was so short that
would have to sit down and rest on
the way up the school steps / would
fall asleep during recitation in spite of
my efforts to keep awake and at last had
to give up going to school.
Sometimes it seemed as if my heart
would jump out of my body. Almost
everything | ate hurt my stomach and
had a bladder trouble that caused me to
bloat and puff up. had two doctors
during the two years before 1 began
using DR.. Williams Pink Pills and at
last they told my mother that they
could do nothing for me.
"Our druggist recommended DR.. Will.
liams' Pink Pills and when had taken
them about three weeks / noticed a
change for the better Altogether
used them for about year and they
! gave me new life and health when every
other means had failed. l have recon-
mended the pills to many others and am
always glad to do so. -
