TAKEN at His Word.

The doctor was telling how he came
to lose n of his best paying
patients. The man was a hypochon-
driac, who was always imagining that
something terrible was about to hap
pen to him, and the doctor, who was
a great jollier, was kept busy trying
to reason him out of his morbid con-
dition.
You have worried yourself until
you are bordering on a col.
lapse" said the doctor to him n day.
"You shouldn't think about your symp-
toms all the time, but just attend to
your affairs as If there was nothing
the matter with you"
"All right, DOCTOR" replied the pa
tent. 'In do as you say. You needn't
come to see me any more."-New York

Avoid Harsh Drugs
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause
Injury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation.
you should avoid strong drugs and
| cathartics. They only give tempo
Tary relief and their reaction is
harmful and sometimes more annoy

way effect a cure and their tendency
is to weaken the already weak or
gans with which they come in con-
tact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that 1t shall not cost the user

Rexall Orderlies These are prompt,
soothing and most effective in action.
| They are made of a recent chemical
discovery. Their principal ingred-

known ingredients, long established

of constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy. They
may be taken at any time, either day

OF $50 feet. 1t is occupied by large

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW
CAUSE OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is be-
coming widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat Of life
and all health dependent upon it.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success in the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discuss
ing this theory recently, he said: Il
am asked time and again to tell why
my medicine has made such a rec
ord wherever l have introduced it.
My answer always is, because it re-
stores the stomach to q normal con-
dition.' No one will deny that today
there are more half-sick men and
women than ever before. Nothing
critical seems to be the matter with
them. They are just half-sick most
of the time. They don't know really
what is the matter with them.
have talked with thousands during
the past two years, and few knew in
deed what their trouble was. One
said nervousness, another said kid
ney trouble, another liver complaint
some constipation, or heart trouble,
or lung trouble. Many had treated,
as they called it, for most of these
diseases at different times. A very
common complaint is ALI run down,
or tired all the time or no appe-
tite.'
81 know positively that every bit
of this chronic i'll health is caused
by stomach~trouble, and nothing else.
Ny New Discovery puts the stomach
in sound condition in about six
weeks. Mighty few people can be
sick with a sound digestion. That is

stomach trouble and indigestion.
Quite frequently my stomach was SO
weak that it would not retain solid

attacks of dizziness. Life became such
a burden that I often felt it was not
worth the living. 1 tried everything
could hear of, but found nothing
that would afford relief.
For some time 1 had been read
ing Of the Cooper remedies, and f.

taking the first bottle I noticed a
marked improvement. Five bottles

John Eckmann DisapPears.-Where
is John Eckmann, the veteran grocery
man, who has for the past 80 years
been prominent figure at his grocery
store on the southwest corner of Fourth
and Brown streets? This is the puz-
zling question which now confronts
his family and the police, and although
every effort has been made to ascer-
tain some clew as to his present where
abouts, nothing seems to avail in the
search. He left home Tuesday after
noon at o'clock bound on business
trip to a local bank, and was then
bound for the law firm of Ffcke &
Ficke, with whom it is said he was to
deposit a sum of money for interest.
Since then he has completely disap-
peared as far as his friends and rela-
tives are concerned, and a general
search has been instituted for him. 1t
is thought that at the time he disap-
peared he had between $500 and $500
in cash on his person, and although
foul play is hardly to be suspected, yet
no other reason for his complete dis
appearance can be given. Mr.. Eek
mann is a man of about 65 years Of
age, and at the time of his leaving his
home he wore a long black overcoat
and a black soft felt hat Not a word
intimating that he was aware of his
